Anti-racism is racism, too. How Progressives are risking the heritage of the Enlightenment — and the equality of citizens.
Progressives style themselves the ones who regard human progress as a moral task.
They intervene to force society into the direction they see as the only correct one. Magic words are: emancipation, integration and inclusion. They see themselves as the avant garde of global openness and tolerance. These same progressive comrades have become entangled lately in contradictions that give rise even among their leftist friends to doubts about the progressiveness of their positions. Is it not astonishing when logical secularists like them demand tolerance for an Islam that does not distinguish between religion and state?
How can someone who decries the attitude of the Catholic Church toward contraception and the priesthood simultaneously defend a worldview that values women less than men?
How is it that eloquent, progressive feminists advocate for the right of women to be fully veiled?
And how to explain that these same people who call themselves progressives and detect racial discrimination everywhere are themselves prone to discredit their critics in terms of skin color and gender — especially raging white men?

Is it really OK to be white today?
That there exists a double standard among Lefties is undeniable. But it’s the only standard they have.
“Progressivism” has always been about power, not anything else.
One of the core beliefs of “Progressive” philosophy is the stupidity of the common man and the necessity of lying to the masses to gain power to do what the “elites” want to do.
One of the main things they want is no accountability for themselves, especially in sexual matters.
Risk the heritage? Leftists want to take a wrecking ball to the Enlightenment. It’s been that way ever since Karl Marx envisioned his new world order.
Without the whites there would not even be a world map or culture.
Yeah, Chinese were a bunch of savages before the white people.
And the Egyptians were pikers.
Its Ok to think that European Christians settled the world. Its ignorant. But you think what you want.
Two excellent Bill Whittle video presentations detailing how we got into this mess and some equally excellent proposals for getting out of it.

But what did the Chinese and Egyptians do to spread their cultures? What did they do for the world?
Except if one is a self-identified progressive. Otherwise the tendency of wealthy white professors to screech about systemic racism and classism makes no sense at all. The fundamental premise of progressivism is its transcendent nature; belief in it absolves the believer of all of the sins associated with culture, race, and whatever other set of pigeonholes into which he or she has sorted all of humanity.
The tenet that there can be a Black Reason or a Women's Mathematics apart from the non-adjectival form is simply and demonstrably false; in fact, it's so silly that only an intellectual could believe it. 1 + 1 = 2 is not an opinion, a cultural more, or a social construct. Bridges built in China, Poland, and Peru all follow the same laws of physics even in pre-literate societies. And the power of the human imagination is not really sufficient to wish cold facts away, such as crop failure, volcanoes, or what sexual characteristics the individual is born with. We don't live in Fantasyland.
‘...We don’t live in Fantasyland ....”
Unfortunately some people do!
Their collisions with reality we are taxed to repair.
I think this is an Ayn Rand quote:
“You can try to escape reality but you can never escape the consequences of trying to escape reality!”
Its better than okay to defend one’s culture from barbarism.
“Yeah, Chinese were a bunch of savages before the white people.
And the Egyptians were pikers.
Its Ok to think that European Christians settled the world. Its ignorant. But you think what you want.”
Check back in after you graduate from high school.
Civilizations rise and fall. The chinese had a peak and decline, so did the egyptians, so did the romans, aztecs, hun, saxon, and on and on.
A hundred to a thousand years from now, you wouldn’t recognize the world if you were around to see it.
If you have access to the ONE AMERICA NEWS NETWORK channel, watch the program, “Killing Europe” at 4PM CST today.
At first progressives resemble diaper rash or contact deremitis....they just get under your skin.
Now we know they’re a full-blown flesh-eating disease....consuming everything in their path.
Where is the antidote for this disease?
I have a graduate degree. Thank you very much.
But you go ahead and think white Europeans made everything great.
I am not saying the US is a bad place. I love it here and we have done amazing things.
I am saying in the history of the world, the US is one in a long line of empires that have reigned.
If you had graduated from vocational school, you would understand context. But I understand somethings these things must be explained in simpler terms.
“Without the whites there would not even be a world map or culture.”
Wonder who the Wright Brothers, Rudolph Diesel, Eli Whitney, Albert Einstein, Robert Fulton, Madame Curie, Louis Pasteur, Jonas Salk etc of sub-saharan Africa are?
Agreed.
And each built on the others. And some built on the bones of the others.
