A couple months back the white nationalist website VDARE published a rant complaining about too many black people in TV commercials, calling it “mental reprogramming designed to convince whites of their eventual demographic demise.” Michael Brown felt the need to dabble in similar territory in his Sept. 4 column. He began by touting a book that helped make such an argument:
In his 2019 book, “The Madness of the Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity,” Douglas Murray exposed the cultural insanity that has gripped so much of the modern world. He pointed out that, no sooner was there more equality than ever between the sexes that the war on men was launched. And no sooner was there more equality than ever between the races that the war on whiteness was launched.
Murray brought a wide array of arguments to support his theses, but none was more striking than the images that came up on Google searches for specific terms and phrases. It was hard to deny what you could see with your own eyes.
[…]Murray had pointed out that when you searched Google for gay couples, you would see a host of images with gay couples, as expected. When you searched for black couples, you would see a host of images with black couples, again, as expected.
But if you searched for straight couples or white couples or straight white couples, the results were anything but what you would expect.
This book by British right-winger Murray essentially argues that racism and sexism would no longer be an issue if liberals didn’t point out the persisitence of racism and sexism. Brown didn’t tell his readers any of this, of course; rather, he decided to try and replicate Murray’s Google search experiments to see what happened:
Let’s start with black couples, clicking on Images. My search yielded row after row of black couples. What do you know!
Now we’ll switch to gay Couples. What did the Google search engine produce? The same thing. Row after row of images of gay couples, some with their kids, but all male-male or female-female. The only exception was the occasional image of a throuple, but here too, all three participants were gay.
How about black gay couples? Yet again, exactly what you asked for: Every image is of a black gay couple, with “gay” specifically meaning “male.”
Now let’s try white couples. What comes up in the search?
The first couple features a white man and a black woman. The same with the second image (I’m not making this up). The fourth image is that of a black man and possibly a Hispanic man (the image links to the website, “Loving Interracial Couples”), and the fifth that of a white woman and a black man.
I tried this on different days and the results were shockingly similar. What in the world is going on?
When I searched for straight couples, there was at least one image of a same-sex couple on each of the first three rows, some of the images linked to an article on what straight couples could learn from gay couples.
When I searched for straight white couples – to repeat, I am not making this up – the very first image that came up was that of a gay interracial couple. Chew on that for a moment – a white man and a black man. To repeat, this was searching for “Straight White Couples.”
[…]While the search for black and gay individuals and couples produced the expected results, the search for white couples yielded the exact opposite. Out of the first six images, every single one featured a multi-racial couple. At the risk of being redundant, I kid you not!
Of the next six images, again, only one featured an all-white couple and one featured an all-black couple. This is beyond insane.
Brown refused to explain why, exactly, seeing pictures of interracial couples upset him so. Instead, he ranted:
Talk about political correctness on steroids and beyond. Talk about mass manipulation, especially when you realize that the vast amount of manipulation is not so obvious and blatant.
Put another way, the manipulation can be so powerful because you don’t know you’re being manipulated, since you’re actually searching for information in order to learn and be informed. Not everything is as it seems!
As much as a raging homophobe Brown is, he rarely touches on issues of race, so it’s unclear why he felt the need to weigh in here. But if you starting to sound like VDARE, you should probably rethink your approach — not to mention your overall thought process.
