Everything Bad, It Seems, Is My Fault
American Thinker ^ | 12/7/2015

Posted on 12/07/2015 6:29:30 AM PST by Altura Ct.

I’ve been feeling down lately.

You see, I’m a white heterosexual American Christian. That means I’m the worst thing to ever draw breath on the planet. By virtue of existing, my kind if responsible for all the injustice in the world.

Wars splintering apart Mesopotamia? Famine raging in Africa? Poverty in Latin America?

All my fault. White colonialism has ransacked the entire globe, leaving it razed and destitute. All the world’s problems, from hunger to strife to impoverishment, fall squarely on the back on the white man.

And those are just the issues that affect people beyond America’s borders.

On the homefront, white heteronormative Christ-believers are, again, being blamed for all of society’s ills. The bourgeoisie lifestyle once seen as high achievement is now regarded as backwards and idiotic. Human dignity has been redefined by will-to-power gnostics. Liberal elites now tell us it’s brave to ravage and deform your body. They demand that we all endorse same sex marriage. And they regard all rational limits to behavior, no matter how debased, as bigoted.

If that weren’t bad enough, the simple things we take for granted have become verboten.

Symbols of heritage pride? Must be snuffed out. Classic movies? Sexist and racist. Historically accurate fictional characters? They need to be recast using affirmative action standards. Morally questionable figures that led major institutions? Well, obviously they need to be tossed into the memory hole. Even pop star Taylor Swift isn’t safe from charges of embodying white superiority.

Everyday language is not immune from the Purge Whitey campaign either. “Illegal immigrant” is now an offensive term, despite its accuracy. Saying “all lives matter” has been contorted to mean the opposite: that some lives really do matter more than others. You’re not even allowed to utter “hard worker” anymore, lest someone become peeved off.

Standing up for your race’s legacy isn’t the same as calling yourself better than other races. It’s a matter of respect to the forebears who spent their lives creating what you now enjoy. For all its faults, the West, and particularly America, is pretty darn good compared to what could have been.

I tried reading the whole article, but I couldn't make it all the way through.

Your a bright shinny penny surrounded by turds. Continue to set the example.

“White colonialism has ransacked the entire globe, leaving it razed and destitute.”

Could someone provide a list of all the countries we’ve DEFEATED in wars throughout History and explain to me why we don’t OWN them as our own these days? Did I miss, especially today on Pearl Harbor Day, when we planted an American Flag on Japan and kept all of it’s people and treasure for ourselves upon their SURRENDER?

*SNORT*

Such a Straw Man argument to begin with.

(I know the author is just being sarcastic...)

Western culture—particularly Anglo-American culture—has done more to advance humanity’s standard of living on any measurable dimension.

I, for one, refuse to feel guilty about this fact.

If Taylor Swift isn't an ironclad argument for white supremacy, I don't know what is:

I can’t for the life of me, understand why people spend so much time trying to live from the standpoint of being a skin color.

America has never waged a war of conquest.
America has never colonized anywhere in the world, except through the power of our culture.
America remains a beacon of freedom to all, even those who spit on its accomplishments.
America is the last best hope of mankind to achieve security.

Those are nothing to be ashamed of. And they were all accomplished by white, Christian males. Not blacks. Not muslims. Not women.

White. Christian. Male.

Say it loud and say it proud!

"I can't for the life of me, understand why people spend so much time trying to live from the standpoint of being a skin color."

Because if skin color can establish their "victim status" then they can get free stuff and perceived special treatment and entitlements forever.

Martin Luther King was a Christian pastor who believed that all lives matter and character mattered more than skin color.

Today’s Black Nationalists and Liberal-Leftists are diametrically opposed to everything Martin Luther King stood for.

Here is an exercise, think of an invention that makes life easier, better, or more enjoyable, something you would hate to live without. Look up who invented it. Its almost certain it was a white guy.

Taylor Lewis' view of being "a white heterosexual American Christian" in today's culture.

My view of the same

I am not a victim (though I may be a target). I am an instrument for good in my world, so help me God!

Marcellus Edson (Canadian) was the first to patent peanut butter (1884), although it had been known long before then.

That actually was my first thought! With a lot of kids in this family, peanut butter is something we couldn’t live without.
