One of the biggest failings of woke culture is the inability of those who embrace it to recognize their own racism. The soft bigotry of low expectations is a kind of racism that comes stock with almost every level of adherence to social justice. It’s the idea that if you’re not white you need help, protection, and entitlements. It’s a victimizing mentality that tells someone they’re incapable because of their skin color and as such, they must be reliant on the body politic to be on an equal playing field with white people.

It’s a mentality that many people of color reject and despise, and one of those people is Gabe Abdul Eltaeb who formerly drew the art at DC Comics, but quit due to the hard-left ideology that had infected the company and its management.

As first reported by Bounding Into Comics, Eltaeb has been open about his decision to leave the company and the feelings he had toward management. He also did not like the anti-American message that was coming from the studio and didn’t want any part of it. For instance, when they ditched Superman in order to bring forward Clark Kent’s son Jonathan Kent, a gay leftist who likes to protest for climate change and open borders.

It was this hard-leftist nonsense that Eltaeb, an American patriot of North African and Libyan descent, wasn’t taking lightly and in his parting message to DC Publisher Jim Lee, he wrote of his disappointment that Lee, who is also the son of an immigrant, was just allowing this anti-American sentiment to happen:

Disgusted by alterations made and creative liberties DC has taken with the Man of Steel recently, he not only bolted from DC but left Publisher Jim Lee a long passionate message as to why. “You probably hate me and think I am a fool but [I] couldn’t stay silent any longer,” Eltaeb said.

“Your parents decided to immigrate to America, Jim,” he continued. “This country and its heritage and the blood spilled gave you everything you have, not South Korea. Even if the decision to remove the credit American culture had in creating Superman is out of your hands…it is so ungrateful for you to go along with this.”

Eltaeb spoke out again last Wednesday once it was announced that, once again, a red-haired DC character, Red Robin, was being race swapped with a black character for a CW show. A trend has developed where red-haired characters are being pushed out of remakes and retools and being replaced by characters of color. Seeing this happening at a DC property, Eltaeb took to Twitter to shed more light on his departure from DC.

“Another reason I left [DC Comics], the racism from leadership treating us POC like we were “victims” to be saved,” tweeted Eltaeb. “Day after Trump won, an editor emailed me saying something like “people like her would protect people like me.” How are you gonna protect me? I VOTED TRUMP.”

The idea that he needs help and protection due to his skin color is something Eltaeb clearly finds insulting and who can blame him? If someone came up to you and said they need to act as your guide and guardian through life because your skin color is the wrong shade, you’d probably become angry at this person’s idea that you’re somehow weaker and incapable. Their self-appointed position as the person who goes before you and speaks on your behalf is that person effectively telling you that they’re in charge, not you.

Sadly, radical leftists put a lot of focus on racial victimization over the course of decades and people actually buy into the idea that they are victims and do need special treatment. They impose victimhood. No one believes this more than social justice advocates, and the vast majority of them are white leftists.

In a way, the left has come full circle. They started out as the people who defended slavery because they thought non-white people as lesser, and here they are again, considering non-white people as needing help and interference in order to make them level with everyone else.

Eltaeb is clearly one of those people who refuses to sign on to that kind of “advocacy.”
