Meet the ideal human being of the Woke Left: lazy, parasitical, bigoted, ignorant, disrespectful, idle, selfish, demands their every whim be gratified instantly.
Well, that’s not anything that none of us already knew from watching the BLM/Antifa mobs in action, but now it’s been given the imprimatur of National Museum of African American History and Culture itself.
Literature from the National Museum of African American History & Culture says concepts like valuing hard word [sic] and time, and being polite and objective are all aspects of whiteness or white culture in the United States.
“The National Museum of African American History & Culture wants to make you aware of certain signs of whiteness: Individualism, hard work, objectivity, the nuclear family, progress, respect for authority, delayed gratification, more,” reporter Byron York posted Wednesday.
Reading the list, it really does seem to be OK to be white. If hard work, self-reliance, objectivity, rationality and emphasis on scientific reasoning are all “white”, then colour me proud to be white, I guess.
Reading the “Aspects and Assumptions of Whiteness and White Culture” pamphlet is certainly an instructive glimpse into the woke left mindset. Many of the talking points are arrant bullshit. Who, outside of a few Brits, really thinks “bland food is best”? In fact, the most successful selling point for multiculturalism is variety and exotic food.
It’s also a blatantly hypocritical Catch-22: whites are sneered at for allegedly preferring bland food, yet they are simultaneously chastised for “culturally appropriating” ethnic food.
Leaving aside the lies and hypocrisy, though, where the list gets truly chilling is its denigration of science and rationality.
Emphasis on Scientific Method:
-Objective, rational linear thinking
-Cause and effect relationships
-Quantitative emphasis
Think about that.
What, after all, is the alternative to objective, rational linear thinking and cause and effect? Bigotry and superstition. Voodoo thinking.
This from the same left who endlessly prate about “respect the science”.
It is true, though, that science is a “white” concept. Science is a European invention, no matter what garbage wokesters like to prattle about a so-called “Islamic Golden Age”, which in reality contributed little original thought. The scientific method was developed in Western Europe and nowhere else. In fact, as historians of science point out, it probably could not and never would have developed anywhere else.
But that doesn’t mean that science is exclusive to white people. A key principle of science is Universalism: the principle that truth is objective and that skin colour, race, sex and culture are irrelevant. Science truly is colour-blind.
So, when the BLM Centre of Wokeness tells me that:
“Facing your whiteness is hard and can result in feelings of guilt, sadness, confusion, defensiveness, or fear.”
All I can do is scoff.
I feel no guilt for a “whiteness” whose crowning achievement is science and the capitalist liberal democracy which has benefited more human beings in just the last century than any other social or economic system, or political ideology, ever has in the entirety of human history.
Although, I must confess: yes, I do feel a twinge of fear:
Fear that the greatest achievements of humanity are about to be swept aside by a racist, radical Marxist ideology.
