DISINFO: Freedom of expression allowed only to denounce white Americans as racist
SUMMARY
Freedom of expression is allowed in the US only to denounce the founding values of the United States as “white supremacist” and white Americans as “systemic racist oppressors”.
It is clear that white liberals have succeeded in destroying the belief of many Americans in the rule of law and the Constitution by denouncing these historic achievements as “tools of white supremacy.”
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the alleged victimisation of white Americans by means of the “systemic racism” paradigm and about the current US government's alleged hostility to white Americans and to the founding values of the United States. The article’s message is also consistent with the narrative about alleged censorship and suppression of freedom of expression in the West.
The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees freedom of speech and the press, which are integral elements of democracy. According to the current World Press Freedom rankings, the United States is ranked 44 out of 180 countries.
There is also no evidence at all to support the article’s suggestion that “white liberals” in the US seek to destroy Americans’ belief in the rule of law and the Constitution by denouncing these historic achievements as “tools of white supremacy”.
Moreover, it is not true that the “systemic racism” paradigm is used to denounce white Americans and attack the fundamental values of American society. The “systemic racism” concept has been widely debated in the US, and refers to “a system in which public policies, institutional practices, cultural representations, and other norms work in various, often reinforcing ways to perpetuate racial group inequity”. The concept advocates the need for social reform to reduce and eliminate racial injustice in America. It does not aim to denounce white people and to attack the founding values of the United States, as the article claims.
Read similar cases claiming that the “systemic racism” paradigm is deadly for America’s white people, which are disenfranchised and oppressed , that the era of liberal democracy and freedom of speech is over – corporations and states are unified in promotion of censorship, and that censorship in the US is now almost akin to that of Nazi Germany
