By silencing white men, Canada can’t have an honest debate about equality, race and culture

Sadly, political correctness afflicts much of the world; in particular the Western world.

At its inception in the counterculture of the 1960s and beyond it was a force for good. It moved us to examine our hatreds, prejudices, values and words. It reminded the British and the French that their prosperity had been driven and depended partly on the plunder of their colonies. It brought home to the Americans that their reach in the world wasn't always benevolent; sometimes it was born out of their economic dominance of the world and exploitation of the resources and peoples of the world.

The U.S. blacks and the counterculture made the world pivot toward a fairer, more just and compassionate understanding of the inequality and unfairness in the world. The world began to understand gender equality, freedom for gays and lesbians to be themselves, the ugly reality of racism in the world and how North America had oppressed and marginalized the indigenous peoples and the rampant unfairness in international relations.

I think white people ought to all take a year off from work. Go Galt. See what happens.

Dennis Prager’s book “Still the Best Hope” discusses the war of the world views, Islamo-fascist, Judeo-Christian American and liberal secular.
And he brings up how Judeo-Christian American values that respect diversity of religion as long as basic decent conduct is adhered to, freedom of speech, respect for business (which is rare in the world) and innovation are something we can export to the benefit of the world.
