Racism forever
In 2008 I thought O's presidency could help overcome our racial divisions by undermining black America's fantastic vision of itself as crushed and kept down by a hostile white America.
But almost the entire left and some on the right have seized upon his presidency as an extended opportunity to reinforce that delusion.
And that includes people in and around the White House, including the president himself, Eric Holder, and others both black and white.
Partly owing to this it seems increasingly probable to me that the browner the country gets the worse and more undermining will be our racial divisions and the more irreversible and painful the declining position of American whites.
America's white elites have repeatedly bought temporary social peace from American blacks with concessions at the expense of non-elite whites, ever since the later years of the civil rights era.
That trend will continue and worsen.
Others footing the bill will be Asians and in lesser measure other non-whites and American Jews.
Costs will be measured in tax money, property destruction, and bloodshed, as they have been over the decades, as well as the increasing economic drag of a growing, useless and harmful underclass whose miseries will only strengthen their hatred of everyone else.
Costs to whites overseas will be measured in the indirect effects of costs to American whites, and also in the adverse impact of declining American power and solidarity with the Occident.
Things will get worse even in my lifetime.
I do not believe anyone can stop this.
Or, rather, those who could stop it most certainly won't.
Well said, Philo, and you anticipate a potential post from me that this administration is the most morally corrupt since Nixon.
ReplyDeleteI could of course be completely wrong.
DeleteNice to have the luxury of erring harmlessly.
