What is that commandment? It’s not that we love one another. That one is already taken, and if there’s Anyone you shouldn’t get into an authorship wrangle with, it’s the Son of God. And tangling with the shade of Ronald Reagan is almost as ill-advised.
No, the newest commandment is this:
That’s from The Gospel of the Left. When a white man dares to speak well of white people, or an American praises America, or a Christian lauds Christianity, he’s in violation. Neither is a white person / American / Christian allowed to defend white people / America / Christians from insult; that’s considered a backhanded violation as well. However, note that the stricture does not apply to any other group.
Congressman Steve King violated it yesterday:
Congressman King is exactly correct: Essentially all of human progress has been due to the white race – principally white Christian males – and minorities chafe under the sense of inferiority that gives them, whether it’s stated explicitly or merely implied.
Let’s take a close look at the contributions of the other races:
- Mongolians / Asians: gunpowder and pasta.
- Negroes / Blacks: broken-field running and the slam-dunk.
- North American Indians: maize?
- Pacific Islanders: poi?
But actually trying to come up with more than those “contributions” would excessively embarrass the moderator schmuck, so he had to mention Hitler and Stalin. Of course he made no mention of Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Mao Tse-tung, Tojo, Julius Nyerere, Idi Amin, Sekou Toure, Haile Mengistu Mariam, Mobutu Sese Seko, or any of the bloodthirsty leaders of the African cannibal tribes European colonial powers strained so hard to civilize.
Congressman King is being pressed to back away from his early, quite clear and correct remarks:
Fellow panelist Charlie Pierce, of Esquire, had said on Monday: “If you’re really optimistic, you can say that this is the last time that old white people will command the Republican Party’s attention, its platform, its public face,” adding, “That hall is wired by loud, unhappy, dissatisfied white people.”“Now, that’s disparaging a group of people, and ‘old white people’ — can you trade that language out by adding any other group in there as an adjective?” King said Wednesday. "And by the way, I am wise enough not to even do that for people, because then it blows the whole Twittersphere up again. But he was disparaging a group of people, a subgroup of people, ‘old white people,’ and saying they’re going to be out of the politics of the Republican Party. That’s gotta be answered....
“And so, yes, any civilization, you can look down through that and say these are things that we’re not proud of. I could go back and give you that list,” King acknowledged. “But the sum total that’s been contributed by Western civilization, it surpasses any other culture or civilization, partly because we borrowed from them along the way, and we’re flexible enough to do that. And so I don’t think we should apologize for our success. And the idea of multiculturalism, in that every culture is equal — that’s not objectively true. And we’ve been fed that information for the last 25 years in this country, and we’re not going to continue to become a greater nation if we don’t look at this objectively.”
But even defending white people – by the multiculti edict, the source and reason for all evil anywhere – is forbidden by the Left, and the Left controls the major media. I have no doubt that the media reaction against any praise or defense of Christians or America would be at least as severe.
I’ve had it with this nonsense. Let it be known to all:
- The achievements of the white race are objectively superior to all the others.
- The other races are consumed by their envy of whites.
- Therefore, in accordance with the dynamic of envy, the other races are trying to destroy the white race.
- And quite a lot of inferior whites are helping them.
Note that today’s public proponents of segregation are nearly all black. Being compelled to measure their achievements against those of whites has warped their brains. They seek isolation...but not complete isolation; that would deprive them of whites’ largesse. They want political and legal separation from whites, but they also want whites to pay them Danegeld. That’s the real cause of most of the interracial violence in the United States today.
It’s not “the legacy of slavery.” It’s the difference between what whites have achieved and what blacks have managed. That gap is indisputable, and it grows ever larger as time passes. Take a close look at the black-run nations of Africa. Then try to argue the point.
And have a second look at these essays, and this one, and this one, and this one, and perhaps this one before you indulge in any foolish, unearned guilt.
