Notes From My Journal
The Biden/Harris administration is inviting the United Nations to come to the US and study our culture to let us know just how racist we are. Apparently, they are not happy with the fact that most Americans – even most Democrats – don’t subscribe to their BLM/Antifa ideology. They figure that if they can get the UN – that bastion of free market, liberal democracies – to support their contention that we are systemically and irremediably racist, maybe we can get acceptance of Critical Race Theory into our preK-to-12 curricula, and fund those morally necessary reparations.
This is great news for academia, which has succeeded in the past 20 years in convincing college students that controlled economies are superior to free-market economies and Socialism is better than Capitalism.
The US, if you believe Harvard and The New York Times, was founded on conquest, slavery, and oppression, and continues its history of violence and genocide in order to preserve White supremacy. Meanwhile, people of color – even the likes of Oprah Winfrey and LeBron James – continue to suffer from the torments and abuses of the status quo.
July 4th, they told us, should no longer be a day of patriotism and fireworks, but a time for White people (and White men, in particular) to take a knee and reflect on how evil we’ve always been and continue to be.
In light of all that, it was refreshing to read this essay from Alex Green of The Oxford Club.
