A Republican lawmaker in Michigan lost his committee assignment and staff Monday, days after posting an image of a racist ideology on social media.

House Speaker Joe Tate, a Democrat who is Black, said he will not allow the House to be a forum for “racist, hateful and bigoted speech.”

State Rep. Josh Schriver, who is white, shared a post on X — formerly known as Twitter — that showed a map of the world with Black figures greatly outnumbering white figures, along with the phrase, “The great replacement!”

The conspiracy theory says there’s a plot to diminish the influence of white people.

    “I’m opposed to racists, race baiters and victim politics,” Schriver told The Detroit News. “What I find strange is the agenda to demoralize and reduce the white portion of our population.”

    Denies being a racist then says racist shit. This one is dumber than a bag of rocks.

      I mean, that’s what all the culture wars are about. Being racist, sexist, homophobic, and/or bigoted. Anti woke, PC, cancel culture, etc is just promoting those.

      If anyone is having trouble translating “I’m opposed to racists, people who call out racism, and people who talk about the impact of racism”

    Are there significant numbers of black or Asian or Native or Latino people who worry about interbreeding with white people “replacing” their particular skin color? Or is it just a stupid white person thing?

    Viewing your particular skin color as some inherently sacred thing that should allow you to prevent other people from loving (or even just fucking) whoever they want is one of the dumber things I’ve heard someone openly saying.

      I don know about Latinos, but for Asian or Black people? 100% there is a lot of it .

      It’s often more men calling out women for dating outside their race and being traitors from what I understand.

      You should’ve seen r/AsianMasculinity on Reddit back in the day, it was fucking vile and they had all sorts of nasty derogatory terms for women dating non Asians.

      There are racial/ethnic/religious/etc. supremacists of all flavours, and they’re all fucked up.

        AsianMasculinity was clearly a right wing puppet community and should not be understood as some representation of all Asian men.

          Who said it was all men? All supremacists are right wing, that’s kinda the nature of their ideology.

      There 100% is for Asians and black people.

      Among black people, there’s a lot of “colorism” where people are/aren’t judged to be black “enough”. Lots of lighter skinned black people getting discriminated against, for instance. Or black people who are too dark getting excluded by lighter skinned black people. It’s not super common, but happens often enough that mixed-race people often feel excluded because they’re too light to fit in with black people but too dark to fit in with white people.

      With Asians, there’s a lot of racism too. For instance, a lot of the lighter skinned Asians (Koreans, for instance,) have historically been horribly racist against darker skinned Asians, like Vietnamese. Korea also has a huge emphasis on looks, to the point that it can be difficult for anyone who doesn’t conform to traditional beauty standards. And yes, that means foreign Asians are affected.

      And Japan is weirdly conservative in a lot of ways, and is also the most homogenous population in the world; It’s something like 98% of the population is native Japanese. So any foreigners will automatically stand out. Tourists are tolerated, but anyone trying to live/work in Japan will struggle to be taken seriously. For instance, a Japanese employer will almost always prefer a native Japanese applicant over a more qualified foreign applicant. As a foreigner, your main methods of getting employment are “transfer into Japan from a branch in another country,” “start your own business,” and “do a job traditionally reserved for foreigners.” For the first example, think of something like Toyota transferring an employee in from America. The employee is already established within the company, so they didn’t need to deal with the regular application process (which would have excluded them from getting hired if they had been applying from within Japan.) And for the third option, that’s typically jobs like English teachers and novelty restaurant hosts.

        I don’t know why you’d think Japan is “weirdly conservative,” their leadership was left intact after WW2 despite commiting just as many crimes against humanity as the Nazis and America put fucking MacArthur in charge of the reconstruction.

        If anything, Japan is weirdly liberal considering everything.

    I tried doing my part at replacing white people by marrying my Latina hottie, but my kids just came out white. 🤷‍♂️

    But Fr, fuck this and every racist.

    What I love about this ‘great replacement’ bullshit is that somehow these people think it’s non-white people’s fault that white people are having fewer children than they are.

      In my case there was some luring with empanadas involved, but it was probably a matter of time since his family likes mayonnaise and cheese wiz so much. Can’t keep a population up with kraft blue box and 7-up alone, y’know what mean?

        I’m just waiting for one of them to tell me that black people invented condoms and birth control pills to trick white people into having fewer kids.

      Do you think maybe it is because state of things is like this gestures vaguely around, largely because of conservative policirs?

    And this might be one of the reasons why they’re so hell-bent on repealing abortion access.
