Titled The difficulties of dealing with race, this article is a paean to white self-hatred and contempt. It had this choice quote:
I read quotes like this from Ann Cook: “Caucasians, especially the U.S. variety, are noted for their ruthless destruction of the cultures of others — whatever parts they can reach — and their vulgarization of what remains.”
Of course I agree. How dare I not? Cook also writes, “Even though I identify with other colored peoples of the world, since we all share a common exploiter, and I know that being the majority of the world’s population, we should unite to defeat this man . . .”
To which I think, well . . . yes. Judging from history, the white man probably should be completely annihilated.
This I think is a part of the result of the victory of the camp of Opinion, the contributions in science, statecraft and morality, facts, are irrelevant in the face of political resentments. Simply by rhetorically assaulting the Western contribution to world civilization, or more properly, the Westernization of world civilization, a small cadre of writers have changed the very nature of the historical record in the minds of a vast number of bright minds seduced by the likes of Opinion. Any factual rebuttal falls on deaf ears, after all, facts coming out of the dominant Western power structure are simply opinions, and politically unpalatable ones at that.
Finally, I bold-faced “the vulgarization of what remains” for a specific reason: I was born in Bangladesh (though to some privilege on a relative scale), and vulgarization would be a large improvement in many ways. But what do I know, my main role is to play the sinless colored who acts as the receptacle for white guilt and self-flagellation.
