"A young woman, well known to the New York City-based chattering class, has finally let loose with what she really thinks. 'The white race is the cancer of human history,' she says..."

"'... it is the white race and it alone—its ideologies and inventions—which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself.' Has this author discovered some new tweet from Sarah Jeong, the now-notorious new hire at the New York Times? Nope. The quote above dates back to 1967. It’s from Susan Sontag, the chic literary critic. Her words were mostly in response to the Vietnam War, but as we can see, her critique extended far further. We might also add that Sontag later said she regretted her quote—because it was insensitive to cancer victims...."

So begins James Pinkerton in "Social Justice Warriors Are the Democrats’ Electoral Poison/Those who don't denounce the politics of Sarah Jeong will crash and burn just as George McGovern did" (The American Conservative).

ADDED: From Sontag's book "Illness as Metaphor":
The cancer metaphor seems hard to resist for those who wish to register indignation....  D.H. Lawrence called masturbation “the deepest and most dangerous cancer of our civilization”; and I once wrote, in the heat of despair over America’s war on Vietnam, that “the white race is the cancer of human history.”

But how to be morally severe in the late twentieth century? How, when there is so much to be severe about; how, when we have a sense of evil but no longer the religious or philosophical language to talk intelligently about evil? Trying to comprehend “radical” or “absolute” evil, we search for adequate metaphors. But the modern disease metaphors are all cheap shots. The people who have the real disease are also hardly helped by hearing their disease’s name constantly being dropped as the epitome of evil. Only in the most limited sense is any historical event or problem like an illness. And the cancer metaphor is particularly crass. It is invariably an encouragement to simplify what is complex and an invitation to self-righteousness, if not to fanaticism.

I don't think whites are a cancer, just not very self-reflective and ahistorical - and with way too much of that left-over "Manifest Destiny" bullshit.

That some blacks think they don't have to listen to anything, either - just like white folks - comes as no surprise:

You all need to grow-the-fuck-up now.

Actually, God punished Susan Sontag for that statement, by giving her cancer. I wonder what he will do to Sarah Jeong?

The following link shows a huge collection of Sarah Jeong's tweets mocking White people.

The New York Times recently selected Jeong to become a member of its Editorial Board.

"Social Justice Warriors Are the Democrats’ Electoral Poison/Those who don't denounce the politics of Sarah Jeong will crash and burn just as George McGovern did"

A bit of wishful thinking here. There are plenty of self-loathing whites willing to ride on the SJW bandwagon. There are even more nice and enlightened whites who can rationalize support for anti-white racism as proof of their own enlightenment, just as some rationalized a vote for the nice, smooth Obama as the more "pragmatic" choice that happened to demonstrate liberal-mindedness. Prog hegemony in the culture, the MSM, and higher ed complicates the #Resistance to the SJW transvaluation of values. Still, a McGovern-like backlash is unfolding. But it is and will be a close-run thing.

Can I just point out, as an aside, that White is not a race? Caucasian is a race and it includes many quite swarthy people, including North Africans, Arabs, Persians and most Indians. It isn't just genetics either, Sanskrit and Latin share many words and grammar. I think anti-white is a stand-in for anti western civilization, but even that doesn't work: Asian nations such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore operate as rich western democracies and have hardly any Caucasians.

Evil is whatever harms absolute innocence.

Absolute innocence is never responsible for anything.

lgv said...

I'm surprised Pinkerton would write those things.

Cancer of human history? I don't mind the metaphor. It just doesn't fit. Absent white people, the evil of the world would be no different, just re-distributed between the other races.

Mike Sylwester said...

A lot of American Jews (e.g. Susan Sontag) spout anti-White hatred, because they think of themselves as "marginalized people" in a society dominated by oppressive White Gentiles. Such Jews identify themselves with the other ethnic minorities, which are mostly colored people.

The irony is that Jews earn like Episcopalians and vote like Puerto Ricans.

These "marginalized" Jews are disproportionately successful in the society of oppressive White Gentiles.

I’ll bet good money that most whites aren’t inflicted with self-hatred and will vote accordingly.

Rick said...

Casual hatred of whites / men / western civilization has a long and prominent history on the left which is in part why Sarah Jeong feels comfortable expressing it and the NYT accepts it as legitimate.

Sebastian said...

I think buwaya got it right yesterday when he pointed out the current culture wars are basically one set of white Americans attacking another set of white Americans. The privileged "elites" are interested in minorities only as weapons to be used to beat the uppity white masses into submission.

And Mike Sylwester is correct. I am startled by how many liberal Jews think of themselves as non-whites. Ironically, they are confirming the views of anti-Semites who argue that Jews are somehow a race onto themselves.

Tina Trent said...

Susan Sontag was a boring hag. She wanted to write like Joan Didion and Norman Mailer but lacked the intellectual insight of the former and the adjectival chops of the latter. So she ended up with the morality of a Mailer and the preciousness of a Didion.

Not attractive, as I'm sure her mother thought.

Temujin said...

The line from Susan Sontag to Sarah Jeong is short and straight intersecting most of what passes for the intellectual Left over the past 40 years. It's not a shock. But it is also not very intellectual- though it does make a lot of them feel very good about themselves, and gives them certain license to look down on just about everybody else. it'll keep working until people just look at them and laugh. They are ridiculous.

This is a lie. The far left will excuse any offense in service of their narrative even if they have to invent the reason. Media control has convinced them they don't need to be factually correct they just need to advance a plausible, if theoretical, rationale and the media will never subject it to scrutiny.

Caligula said...

"There are plenty of self-loathing whites willing to ride on the SJW bandwagon."

Perhaps. Or perhaps there are many who will do so publicly, but then vote their conscience in the privacy of the voting booth.

As for evil, well, now that assertions that anything represents truth can only be mocked, it becomes difficult to find language with which to condemn even evil on the scale of a Pol Pot. (At least, this seems to have presented some difficulty to the censors who screen Facebook advertising.)

Is murdering a fellow-worker with a circular saw an evil act? Or, if some races or ethnicities are "a cancer" then perhaps whether this act was actually evil might depend on the race and ethnicity of the murdered and the murderer (for surely no one objects when cancers are killed by any means necessary, such as the traditional methods of cut, burn, poison?).

Call this bit of human behavior what you will; it's as old as humankind and may be understood as a desire for retribution. There are too many examples to list, but some notorious ones are Japanese treatment of conquered people and POWs in World War II, expropriation of white owned property in Zimbabwe and now South Africa. When people who are in fact or perceive themselves as oppressed take power from their oppressors, the desire for retribution often leads to barbarism by the same people or at least the desire for barbarism. The question is whether the oppressors can adjust the rights of the oppressed to include throttling the oppressed when they start actually engaging in barbarism. Are we prepared as a society to stamp out cop murders by Black Lives Matter? Are we prepared to throw genital mutilators in prison? Are we prepared to bring down the full force of the law on false rape accusers? If we don't deal with these issues now, we risk much worse when the oppressed figure out they won't be called to account.

Correct. Going back years.

Check out Mike Sylwester's link upthread.

The notion that she was "just reacting" is fake-news BS.

The fact that progs feel a slight need to defend her in those terms suggests that, for the moment, they still care to gesture toward white "moderates" and sense that color-blind anti-racism still has some force in the culture.

But of course, no prog actually criticizes her for her actual views, and the NYT stands by her.

White people exploded out of Europe in the 16th century and conquered everything they could get their hands on for the next 400 years, which amounted to most of the world.

This was an awesome achievement. The fallout of all this is still ongoing.

One of my ancestors conquered what are now five Philippine provinces, another led the assault (leading a Filipino regiment) on the citadel of Saigon in 1859, founding the French colony of Indochina. All this quite late in the European colonial period. From my point of view this was glorious.

Colonies proved uneconomical however. The economic illogic of it (and nothing else) put an end to all the fun.

Conquer, or be conquered. Vae victis.

I thought I did. But I will drop the sarcasm so you can understand my point.

To claim that because Jews are financially better off than average means they are not (or apparently never were) oppressed is staggeringly stupid. They also tended to be better off in Germany and Eastern Europe prior to the rise of the Nazis. That didn't help them much.

Even if we accept that this is true of Trump the conclusion is false. The left invented an entire social philosophy based on the premise that objective truth isn't relevant, is racist, and is less important than the left's beliefs (even when obviously false).

So even based on Freder's own criteria his assertion is wrong. Ultimately this is because he doesn't care about anything he pretends to be outraged over. This is simply a tool that in this moment is useful to attack a non-leftist.

Vox has now called for deplatforming dangerous extremist Candace Owens. This is going precisely the way those of us who dislike Jones but opposed censoring him expected it would go.

The Left cannot defend its' own positions and so seeks to silence the opposition.

I think anti-white is a stand-in for anti western civilization, but even that doesn't work: Asian nations such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore operate as rich western democracies and have hardly any Caucasians.
But many of the SJW don't much care for Asians, either. They don't seem to mind discrimination against Asians in college admissions today, nor did they seem all that upset a few years back when Al Sharpton went after a Korean grocer.
Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric has driven many Asians into the arms of the Democratic party, but this may be only temporary, as the Asian values of hard work, STEM education and high achievement don't really fit in the Democrat's coalition of the aggrieved. And even some black men are tiring of the SJWs incessant whining about things that don't matter.

Revealingly this Vox article provides no factual support for the Jeong / NYT assertion her tweets were in response to others. Vox simply reasserts the Jeong / NYT defense while Freder simply repeats this process. In fact 90% of the article is about Quinn and Gunn hoping the reader transfers the facts presented in their support trigger general acceptance of the article without ever dealing in the facts of the Jeong case.

Everyone on the left from the NYT to Vox to Freder is simply repeating the assertion because they accept all left-supporting assertions without question, skepticism, or validation.

It also means the next twittermob supported by this group will discredit them even more. People will point out the comments are made sarcastically or simply don't mean what the mob asserts while in response the usual suspects will invent whatever justification they need. Since this will convince no one but themselves their credibility will drop even lower.

A handful of MLB players, who are not exactly considered the thought leaders of the nation, were raked over the coals for idiotic racist tweets they sent out during their high school years. Susan Jeong's tweets, sent out when she was (supposedly) an adult with far more formal education than 17 year old Josh Hader, display no more intelligence or maturity than Hader's puerile jokes. His job is to stand on the mound and throw 98 mph fastballs. Hers is to shape the content of a paper long held up as the gold standard of American journalism.

I certainly hope the left collectively continues down this self destructive path in a very public way so that more and more voters see them for what they really are. Over time it becomes more and more difficult to hide their disdain for much of America. Their mask slips.

I'm sure they'll continue to mouth all the usual platitudes about being fair minded, being open to debate and open exchanges of ideas. But all the while they'll push for the silencing of dissenting ideas, both surreptitiously and openly. They'll lie to your face unabashedly. And if/when they're caught in a lie, they'll try to rewrite the narrative, reframe history, move the goalposts, they'll question clear facts, they will deny what's obvious. If that doesn't work they'll counterattack, they'll create strawmen, they'll attept to elevate fringe people and arguments to mainstream in order to tar their entire opposition with the same brush. They'll try to muddy the waters. Anything in order to win.

It's who they are.

But hopefully more and more people will begin to see the truth.

MD Greene said...


A racist is a racist is a racist. No excuse-making can paper over the fact.

Susan Sontag was brilliant, but she was not brilliant every day. Her perceived racism was white guilt, but nothing she said or did ameliorated the brutal facts of life for people of color in this country in her day. The real anti-racists were reaching out to other people, hiring them and sharing meals with them and encouraging their children. They're still doing so today.

The article's canvass of history is flawed and weak. What we have now are political discussions fueled by emotion and hysteria. That is why they lead nowhere. We reap what we have sown.

I don't read the New York Times as much as I used to do. Its business model is to preach to its choir, which it does very well, but which has diminished its credibility as a journalistic endeavor. It can't serve two masters, and it has made its choice.

Bill said...

Much of Susan Sontag's appeal was about the alliteration of her name. If her mother hadn't married Captain Nathan Sontag, she probably would have remained the far less resonant Susan Rosenblatt.

JPS said...

Dust Bunny Queen,

"I just do NOT get this white guilt for things that happened in the past, over which you personally have had no control."

Can I try to offer an explanation? (I usually agree with you, on a lot.) This is as close as I come to defending that idea.

I love this country in large part for the ideals set forth in our founding, and for the long, erratic, often painful, still incomplete process of trying to live up to them. As a sober critic put it, if I'm going to look at the good this country has done and say We did this, I don't then get to look at the bad this country has done (including betraying those ideals pretty profoundly in the case of blacks and American Indians) and say They did that; that wasn't me.

This doesn't work for race, for me anyway, because there is no accomplishment that I view as a white accomplishment and that I attach to by virtue of also being white.) Still, given that whites have not been persecuted in this country for being white, and that's part of our history, don't I have to own that too?

The question of the most just way forward is of course a complicated one. The easy way out, socially speaking, is for me to denounce myself, and do whatever the Left tells me by way of trying to set it right.

I'm fairly old. Prior to Sarah Jeong, I can't recall ever hearing a hostile remark directed at a young Asian woman because she was a young Asian woman.

Unless you are going to argue with instruments and mathematics, all speech is lies.
And you have to be very careful with the instruments and mathematics. Even there its hard to "bend over backwards" sufficiently, to question your own findings, as Feynman requires.

The point of Free Speech is to permit speech, that is, persuasion.
One cannot avoid lies when one tries to persuade. If nothing else, one cannot present ALL the relevant facts, a whole, valid world view, a context, a perspective. One selects facts that suit, and ignores others that don't. Thats a great way to lie, the most common and clever way.

Free Speech is going to be lies. Nothing but, even if everything is "true".
Listen to everyones lies, and from them, if you can, determine a useful truth.

Valley because I was black - they literally said "No blacks" - and my best white friend, walking me to the bus stop and not even waiting for the bus to come before returning. Imagine a lifetime of such slights. Getting socks every Christmas. Nobody visits you because of where you live.

In Zimbabwe, the most notable victims of Mugabe's predations were not the white farmers but members of the Ndebele tribe. Mugabe killed tens of thousands of them. During the seventies, the Igbos effort to achieve independence was met with ruthless suppression and hundreds of thousands were starved and killed. Several hundred thousand people in Rwanda were killed by their neighbors. Their murders were up close and personal. Many were hacked to death with garden instruments by people they knew.......The interesting thing about all these deaths is that they occurred without any significant protest, so far as I can remember, by any black activist in this country.

I love this country in large part for the ideals set forth in our founding, and for the long, erratic, often painful, still incomplete process of trying to live up to them. As a sober critic put it, if I'm going to look at the good this country has done and say We did this, I don't then get to look at the bad this country has done (including betraying those ideals pretty profoundly in the case of blacks and American Indians) and say They did that; that wasn't me.

This doesn't work for race, for me anyway, because there is no accomplishment that I view as a white accomplishment and that I attach to by virtue of also being white.) Still, given that whites have not been persecuted in this country for being white, and that's part of our history, don't I have to own that too?


Thank you for your thoughtful response.

I agree with you in that we have to look at both the good and the bad that people (all people) have done in the past. We have to recognize and acknowledge history and hope that by learning from it we don't repeat it.

Agreed that there is not a "white" accomplishment other than being a participant in the culture and society where you have been born and the building upon the accomplishments of previous people in that society. We stand on the shoulders of generations before us.

I can feel both pride and shame about the past.....NOT personal guilt because I am not guilty.

However, I disagree that we need to "own" the actions of the past to the extent that we feel personally responsible or feel guilty that we haven't been persecuted as "white" people. ** (see below) If we know about the past and do nothing to prevent those actions in the present or in the future...then....I suppose we own that failure and own that guilt. But....we will be long gone and dead, just like the old white guys in the past before we know what the future brings.

However, I bear no personal guilt or personal responsibility for the past or any guilt about my Irish/Welsh/Scottish white....genetic inheritance. I'm not about to wear a hair shirt and flail myself on the back for the "sin" of being white in a dominant white culture.

All we can do is try to change the present.

** White people have been persecuted. Not for being white, but for being the wrong ethnicity... Irish (for example) or adhering to the wrong religion...Quaker or Mormon. Persecution knows no bounds.

Worse than Biafra, or even Rwanda, was the fallout of Rwanda, the collapse of what was then Zimbabwe.

Or the still ongoing chronic wars in South Sudan. Or Sierra Leone, or Liberia, or Somalia, or Eritrea, or ...

The truth is that there have been dozens of African civil wars since 1945. The body count is in the multi-millions. And they aren't over.

Not Zimbabwe, sorry, Zaire.
No matter the troubles, Ndebele and agricultural collapse notwithstanding, Zimbabwe has gotten off easy (so far), by African standards.

Its not usual to see it that way, but there are levels of misery.

William said...

When D.H. Lawrence called masturbation the deepest and most dangerous cancer of our civilization, I think his words were probably directed against himself. He probably couldn't get any real writing done because he jerked off too much. In any event, I think masturbation was more a problem for D.H. Lawrence than it was for civilization. Something like this must have been going on with Susan Sontag. She probably had a low, intuitive grasp of what an evil bitch she was and projected that realization onto white people.

And I'm glad that the New York Times has decided to drop all pretense and admit that they think that some forms of racism are OK.

buwaya said...

Its not usual to think of it that way, but that sort of anarchy and misery is close to the surface, nearby.

The Mexican Revolution has a romantic air to it, especially in Mexico. But the truth was grim. It was a Zaire-Congo level demographic disaster that went on for a decade. My father-in-law was a refugee of a late stage of it, the Cristero war in Jalisco.

There are heroes and music and trains, and armies that marched strategically about, capturing capitals. But the reality was tides and waves of anarchy, killing, massacre, starvation. And the whole business was finally resolved through assassinations of the warlords.

I recommend a novel, to get the feel of it, "Los de Abajo", Mariano Azuela, 1915, usually translated as "The Underogs". Mariano Azuela wrote it at the time, and he was an eyewitness. You could make a "Beasts of no Nation" out of that.

Freder Frederson:Sarah Jeong (who was replying to really nasty tweets)

RichardJohnson: Please document your claim.

Freder Frederson:Here you go (Vox). But I don't know why I bother. You will dismiss it out of hand because it is Vox.



I have looked at the Vox article. As far as I can tell, here are the only pieces of evidence that there have been nasty, racist tweets directed at her: On Thursday morning, Jeong issued a statement. As a female journalist on the internet as well as a woman of color, she is no stranger to harassment — as she herself noted before explaining that in the tweets being circulated as proof of her supposed “racism,” she had been engaging “in what I thought of at the time as counter-trolling.”

— sarah jeong (@sarahjeong) August 2, 2018


I have not seen any evidence in the Vox article that any of Jeong's nasty, racist tweets were made in specific response to a nasty, racist tweets.

For example, consider this tweet history: Sarah Jeong tweets
Nicole chung 26 Jul 2016: women of color are going to be the reason Donald Trump won't be president
sarah Jeong 26 Jul 2016: god I hope so.
Nicole chung 26 Jul 2016: he had a slight lead among white women last I checked. though it was smaller than Romney's over Obama w/ white women.
sarah Jeong 26 Jul 2016: I mean, I hope he gets defeated. ( and fuck white women lol)


In this series of tweets, there are no racist tweets- nor any misogynistic tweets- directed at Jeong. Yet Jeong comes out with a gratuitous, racist, misogynistic tweet. Freder's claim that Sarah Jeong (who was replying to really nasty tweets) is here without any evidence whatsoever.

It's more accurate to say, "It is [modern civilization] and it alone—its ideologies and inventions—which eradicates [traditional] civilizations wherever it spreads...." The first civilizations to be overrun by the modern world were white, for instance Ireland, and they were mostly overrun because people in the traditional wanted to make some money and see their kids survive to adulthood.

You know where that was? Georgia. Maybe you should move out of that racist shithole you live in.

The narrative we've been fed all our lives is that the GOP is the "Daddy Party" - and Daddy's a mean bastard who doesn't care about your feelz. He just wants to be left alone so he can make more money - and don't think he's going to use it to buy you a pony, either.

The Democrats are the "Mommy Party." They'll kiss your boo-boo and make it all better. They'll protect you and care for you. They won't let you die on a sewer grate, unlike Daddy, who will step over you and tell you you shoulda gotten a job.

"Vote for us! We're the nice ones! The kind ones! The compassionate ones!"

Well, except the Mommy Party has gone psycho, like Kathleen Turner in "Serial Mom." Her favorite kids are out there now throwing black women out of restaurants, calling for white people to be "cancelled," rioting when conservative speakers show up at campuses, shooting up baseball fields, calling a Jew a Nazi. And Mommy not only smiles indulgently but applauds and eggs her favorites on. For a party whose core message is "we care and therefore we should run things" it's not a good look. Mommy doesn't look like sweet June Cleaver any more, but like Mommie Dearest, who is going to beat you but good with those wire hangers until you shape up.

But who does that? Who do you know who is a real life manifestation of this progressive straw man, who celebrates a cartoon version of himself and denies the ugly realities of the past? Never met 'im.

That whites are "in denial" about the history of this country is a progressive myth. What is the prog "proof" that this denial exists? That whites continue to honor and celebrate their ancestors, and that they disagree with progressives about how the injustices of the past should be dealt with - that's their "proof". Think reparations are a stupid idea, or that affirmative action programs took a wrong turn along the way? Think Jefferson was a great man and don't think the Jefferson Memorial should be re-purposed as a woke museum devoted to excoriating "white privilege"? Well, obviously you're disavowing the bad things about your history! Obviously you don't understand that slavery is an evil!

This is bullshit. Really stupid bullshit. Why are you buying into it when you claim to know that history is "complicated"? Did the Europeans cheat and mistreat the Indians? Yes. Was the European conquest of America a story of dynamism and heroism on the part of the conquerers, in which their descendants can justly take pride and celebrate? Yes.

The progs want whites to flagellate themselves for the former and memory-hole the latter. More absurd still, they want that only for whites. Non-whites may celebrate their conquerors and progs will not only tolerate their memory-holing of non-whites' misdeeds, but will positively encourage, nay insist on it.

This whole prog way of viewing the past is fundamentally absurd: it is not necessary for the rectification of injustice, and it is based on a conception of history and human nature that is false from top to bottom.

This doesn't work for race, for me anyway, because there is no accomplishment that I view as a white accomplishment and that I attach to by virtue of also being white.) Still, given that whites have not been persecuted in this country for being white, and that's part of our history, don't I have to own that too?

Meaning, what? What do you have to "own" regarding whites (qua whites) not being persecuted in this country? This country as a political entity was founded by Europeans (whites), and was organized according to their cultural and political preferences and prejudices, to suit themselves, just the way every other human group that ever existed has organized the societies they built.

Of course whites qua whites weren't persecuted. Who goes around persecuting and marginalizing and being "non-inclusive" to their own kind (as members of their own kind) when they set up political shop? Whites are supposed to feel bad about practicing injustices toward non-whites (which they've recognized and worked to rectify, unlike certain other human races we could mention), and now they're also supposed to feel bad about not persecuting themselves?

Absurd.

Just about the only visionary to foresee not in a glass and darkly was Geroge Orwell. Big Brother was born just a few days ago in Cupertino. Over in Mountain View, they've made a strong start excavating the Memory Hole. Inga will a natural for the red sash, don't you think?

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...

Excellent post, Angle-Dyne, but I'll quibble a bit about this:

"Who goes around persecuting and marginalizing and being "non-inclusive" to their own kind (as members of their own kind) when they set up political shop?"

That misses the history of inter-white racism, which was quite popular until the Nazis discredited it. Scholar Jacques Barzun's first book, published in the 1930's, was an attack on the idea that the French constituted a separate race. Many English thought of the Irish as an inferior race; people here felt the same way about Slavic and Southern Italian immigrants.

I bring it up not to heap coals on the heads of WASPs, but to challenge the common idea that "whites" are somehow this homogeneous bloc of oppressors who have always lorded it over everyone else. One thing I hate about the "Whitey bad, non-white good" narrative is how it flattens and simplifies history. White tribes have marginalized other white tribes, just as Asians have done with other Asians and Africans have done with other Africans. It's human nature, not white human nature. This country is great because, despite the sorry history of slavery and discrimination, it holds out the promise that humans can transcend their own ethnic and racial backgrounds to become Americans before they are anything else. The left says "No, that's impossible. You are only a member of your tribe, nothing more."

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“Bullshit. I don't expect anyone to take responsibility for anything they did not personally do. You're the one pushing Identity Politics.”

A neighbor's grandparents fled the Mexican Revolution. Consensus appears to be that 10% of Mexico's population was killed during the Mexican Revolution, so "Zaire-Congo level demographic disaster" is quite accurate. Noam Chomsky wrote a book about Latin America, which purports to inform us about all the bad things that Latin America has suffered since 1492: "Year 501: The Conquest Continues. Nowhere in the book does Chomsky mention that 10% of Mexico's population being killed during the Mexican Revolution.

I can't remember which translation I read, it was so long ago. But your comment made me curious so I went to Amazon and found several more recent translations.

As a devotee of and one-time correspondent with McCarthy, I find that quite compelling.

Grilling him is different that expecting him to take responsibility. I didn't see any evidence of the latter although I skipped most of the thread (Ritmo / Inga combos are particularly worthless). I did see people noting that those who believe in group guilt would have to accept that blacks share guilt for many things. This is an effort to convince someone that group guilt is illegitimate rather than trying to assign responsibility but of course Inga can't understand anything which might get in the way of an attack on someone she hates.

"I'm a "content of their character" kind of guy by nature."

In other words, you have never listened to more than one sentence of Martin Luther King in your entire lifetime. That's pathetic to base my life on.

"But, I've got a bad food and shelter habit."

Thank God reparations will come out of the Treasury and leave your preciously empty pockets alone.

"And I kinda get resentful when I'm told I have no call to be proud of what my ancestors did, but are responsible for all the evil they perpetuated."

No one has said that - it's a straw man you're beating blacks with - read our history of slavery and you'll find lots to be proud of, especially if you see it as I do. It's an incredible story whites run from because of their insecurities - not because they come off badly. I finished it more connected to the country than ever, and disappointed I was alone with this knowledge.

"And I have a really hard time believing that someone who attended Stanford and Harvard and is on the NYT Editorial Board when she is less than 30 years old has less privilege than I do."

So do I. She's kinda crazy.

A DHS official noted that the illegal alien, Ramon Pedro, arrived with a young girl he claimed was his daughter at the Ysleta Port of Entry in Texas in mid-April.

After Pedro and his claimed daughter was hospitalized for tuberculosis testing in July, U.S. authorities discovered she was not only not related to him in any way but was being systematically sexually abused by him.

"In fact, the victim’s mother told her daughter to accompany Pedro to the United States and he would secure her employment," a DHS official said, adding that "on July 27, 2018, the Huron Police Department arrested him for multiple felony offenses for rape, oral copulation, forcible sexual penetration and endangering/causing injury to a child. He is currently detained in Fresno County Jail on a $310,000 bond."

No, because you're an American, just as your parents were for the Japanese we interned and their ancestors for the Natives that were killed. Quit being a pussy. The money ain't going nowhere.

OK, let me see if I understand this statement. I'm not accountable for what my ancestors did because I'm white, something I had no say in, but because I'm an American, something I also did not have any say in.

Oh, and leftist have tried to convince white people to stop thinking of themselves as a cohesive ethnic group for about two generations now, they had in fact pretty much given it up, and now you want to revive it?

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Quit acting like you're an innocent entering a new world. It's the one you stuck me with - hence, reparations.

Bull to the ultimate shit. I, personally, haven't stuck you or anyone with anything. I owe nothing. And, I especially owe nothing for the actions of dead people over a hundred years ago.


Thank God reparations will come out of the Treasury and leave your preciously empty pockets alone.


Crack seems to have this bizarre idea that the money in the US Treasury is grown on trees in some magical garden and harvested by glittering elves.

The money in the Treasury is from collection of taxes and selling debt: bonds that have to be repaid with MORE taxes. The Government takes our money right out of our pockets. The money that isn't spent for the common good is money that is taken away from the taxpayers. Reparations is blackmail for things that happened hundreds of years ago.

On the other hand IF we did allow 'reparations' can we get a promise that those who are demanding money will SHUT THE FUCK UP from now on? If so. Hell, Yeah. Reparations.

To rephrase to make my meaning clear, over the course of two generations or more white people had been educated to stop thinking about themselves as a cohesive ethnic group, and now for some unfathomable reason leftists want to reverse that.

Inga is a moron when she is serious and unoriginal when she is not. She been identified a such for years, literally.

Well, thanks. To be fair, I lobbed the first grenades in that thread and Inga responded - well, exactly like you would expect Inga to respond. She certainly is unoriginal, which is probably why I have such a strong reaction to her - she's exactly like dozens of other comfortably off liberal white women I have known who have never had a thought that would be unapproved by the NY Times editorial board. I think years of listening to them have left me with a very low tolerance for reading the same shit online. And, as you know, it's not terribly difficult to refute her. But yeah, it can and does degenerate quickly and does the blog no good.

exiled: That misses the history of inter-white racism...

No, I wasn't missing it, that's why I specified "whites qua whites".

DBQ had already covered the obvious fact that whites have been "racist" against whites of different ethnic groups, and it wasn't really relevant to my point.

Also, I also don't have any more patience with white groups pissing and moaning about how they were oppressed by Thurston Howell than I do with the reparations clowns. (The WASPS didn't like my people. So what? Why did they have to like them or associate with them? Looked at from the long, disinterested historical view of peoples and cultures, the nativists had a point about how people like my ancestors altered the natives' culture to the natives' disadvantage.)

It's a diversion from what's going on in the here and now and shows a lack of understanding. An Irish- or Italian- or whatever-American of the white persuasion presenting oppression credentials is just victim-larping, and is willfully missing the point about the virulent anti-white propaganda abroad in the land.

Remember that being an "ethnic" white was cool for a while in the '70's? That was around the time "The Godfather" came out. I remember the popularity of "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" (or Italian, or Greek, or Polish) buttons. One of the most improbable things about "All in the Family" is that it featured a blue collar Queens guy who was a WASP. They didn't want to put Archie's words in the mouths of any of those swell "ethnics."

Being Southern was also cool for about 5 minutes after Carter's election. Then came the 1980 election and all those cool salt of the earth Polish and Italian and Irish and redneck working class people went and let everyone by voting for Reagan. They all became racist whites after that.

But we all have responsibility for. We really need to reinstate civics in this country.

No. What part of "it's not because you're white" didn't you internalize yet - and why?

"I, personally, haven't stuck you or anyone with anything."

No one said you did - personally.

"I owe nothing."

And no one will be at your door to get it, even if reparations are paid. Quit sounding stupid.

"And, I especially owe nothing for the actions of dead people over a hundred years ago."

That's why the government will pay and you can take your hostility and dark imaginings and go screw yourself while it happens.

Thank God reparations will come out of the Treasury and leave your preciously empty pockets alone.

"Crack seems to have this bizarre idea that the money in the US Treasury is grown on trees in some magical garden and harvested by glittering elves."

What you think "seems" to be happening isn't factual and can be ignored - so I will.

"The money in the Treasury is from collection of taxes and selling debt: bonds that have to be repaid with MORE taxes. The Government takes our money right out of our pockets. The money that isn't spent for the common good is money that is taken away from the taxpayers. Reparations is blackmail for things that happened hundreds of years ago."

And then there's the question of justice for U.S. Citizens tortured and abused for over 400 years, even after the country passed laws and told lies that whites would stop harassing us. You forget about that. Probably because ethics are NOT your strong suit, or in your heart. White women have ALWAYS been some of the most evil in this regard. Determined to get that last lick in. Always demanding more pain. And always always not responsible. Innocent little lambs.

"On the other hand IF we did allow 'reparations' can we get a promise that those who are demanding money will SHUT THE FUCK UP from now on? If so. Hell, Yeah. Reparations."

Whites always have a demand. They just can't let it go. You in charge, Miss Queenie, you SHO 'NUFF in charge!

It doesn't really matter if its "not because your white." Leftist are using Identity Politics against whites. Strategically that's a bad move in the long run.

I'm not a Leftist and have connection to what they do. I've already said I think they manipulate blacks. Part of the reason why is white hostility on the Right makes it near impossible for blacks to join them. I mean, here I am with you, and look at you: My black friends don't want no part of this bullshit. Y'all sound crazy. You don't know rightfrom wrong. You abandon responsibility for the country as soon as it owes us money - which you don't want to pay - while demanding g we kneel for the flag.

You're a fucking terror.
