Deaf and blind Helen Keller belittled as 'just another privileged white person' in Time magazine

Ted Cruz blasts article: 'This is INSANE'

Helen Keller was severely impaired by an undiagnosed illness that caused her to go blind and deaf at the age of 19 months old. Despite her debilitating disabilities and a lack of resources available at the time, Keller would go on to become a champion of the deaf and blind by fundraising millions of dollars for those who are disabled. She became a successful writer, publishing 12 books, and would go around the country raising awareness of the plight of the disabled and fight for women's suffrage.

Keller, who graduated from Radcliffe College, which is now Harvard University, co-founded the American Civil Liberties Union and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor that an American can achieve. Despite all of her achievements and accolades against all odds, Keller was declared to be "just another privileged white person" in a Time magazine article.

The article, titled "Co-Founding the ACLU, Fighting for Labor Rights and Other Helen Keller Accomplishments Students Don't Learn in School," highlighted Keller's many accomplishments, but also included a belittling denigration of Keller.

"However, to some Black disability rights activists, like Anita Cameron, Helen Keller is not radical at all, 'just another, despite disabilities, privileged white person," and yet another example of history telling the story of privileged white Americans."

The quote was said by Anita Cameron, a self-described "fierce Black autistic lesbian" and member of the American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today organization, according to her Twitter profile, which has a "Black Disabled Lives Matter" banner.

Many commenters found the defaming of Keller to be outlandish.

Mary Vought, the executive director of the Senate Conservatives Fund, said, "You've got to be kidding me. The woke mob is now going after Helen Keller for being white. Nevermind the advancements she worked to achieve for those with disabilities."

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) retweeted Vought and added, "This is INSANE. Woke Lefties are now attacking Helen Keller?? As 'just another, despite disabilities, privileged white person'?? There are many adjectives one can use to describe the extraordinary Helen Keller. 'Privileged' is not one of them."

Donald Trump Jr. reacted by saying, "Holy sh**... they're now canceling Helen Keller for being white. You can't make this crap up anymore. You can never be woke enough."

Writer John Nolte astutely made this point.

Helen Keller didn’t even know she was white.

Say no more.

 

[Blasterisk]

An anagram of the initialism for "fierce black autistic lesbian" is "flab" and I'm not sure if that's at all connected.

 

[Dom Cruise]

How much would you have to hate white people to think someone who was deaf and blind from when they were a baby is "privileged"?

This Anita Cameron person is just as bigoted and hateful towards white people as any Klansmen is about blacks and yet she's getting her views endorsed by Time magazine no less.

We're living in a bizarro world where there's actual systemic racism taking hold. It's the kind of systemic racism of "white man bad and mean" media keeps pushing, rather it's the fact All of them are pushing the idea that white people are inherently bad and mean despite a good majority of the people pushing this narrative being white and upper caste. I know there are minorities involved in pushing this narrative, but they mostly seem to be the indoctrinated rather than the true perpetuators. Somehow white people that are indeed utter shit have convinced a great deal of people to parrot the idea that white people that aren't the shitty white people in positions of power ranting about how bad white people are are inferior beings somehow.
How the fuck haven't people woken up en masse to this bullshit yet?

 

[Meat Target]

Shit like this makes me even wonder what value there is in trying to make the world a better place. Why go to all that effort if your deeds will be erased from the earth by self-aborbed cunts with a crab bucket mentality?

These shitheads are so desperate for a villain. Maybe we should oblige them.

Anita Cameron, ladies and gentlemen;

What a doofy looking bitch.

Keller, who graduated from Radcliffe College, which is now Harvard University, co-founded the American Civil Liberties Union...

Look I'm not saying Wheelchairquesha is right or anything; but being a co-founder of the ACLU really makes me not like her.

I can't fully tell if she looks like she was a nice person at one point that got indoctrinated into this shit, or was one of those kids that was an opportunistic little shit that would bully other kids and then cry to the teacher the other kids were saying mean things to them. Either way there's that kinda "dead eyed soul drained" look to the face if you get my drift.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

Yeah, man. We all know that getting Scarlet Fever as a baby and becoming deaf and blind is privileged. Didn't you all know that?

You can't be racist against white people. Don't you know science?

In all seriousness, it's been noted a million times that this is a religion we're dealing with here: a sort of atheist offshoot of Catholicism. Privilege is original sin; the sins of the father are passed on to the son; the scholars and scribes set up shop in academia, the orators in the media; they're working on establishing the clergy in the government. You must atone for your sin through the flagellation of those who deny they've sinned and don't forget your tithe to the noble queer/bipoc enterprises.

 

[TowinKarz]

Not being able to see or hear, is kind of the ANTITHESIS of "privilege".

Except it is impossible to ever atone for the original sin of privilege. There is no redemption in Wokeism, only self-abasement for self-abasement's sake.

She LOOKS like she smells bad.

She looks like a smug retard to me. Probably a subscriber to the "victimhood = power" ideology.

Being white compensates for that.

Something about her story always made me call bull-shit; mainly how she was deaf and blind, but somehow went on to write books. There's only so much "That's amazing!" I'm willing to tolerate before my mind shuts off.

Atonement is a lifelong process, you see. The wages of privilege is death. Atonement is not something you will ever "have done," but something you must always do.

More like the "victimhood = virtue" ideology.

She eventually learned how to write, but only in capital letters IIRC.

 

[Cyclonus]

According to the jokes I heard at school, she learned to masturbate by reading her other set of lips. Which doesn't make sense now I think about it because she was blind as well as deaf.
