White men must be stopped: The very future of mankind depends on it

Existential Cage Theory: an idea who’s time has come.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Poor guy does seem a bit-— er-— narrow-minded.

[JimRed]

Without eeevil white men, we’d be in mud huts instead of reaching for the stars.

[Mrs. Don-o]

aa?

[Fred Hayek]

Professor Ignatiev, why don’t you take the leadership position and off yourself. I would suggest that you administer 235 grains to your head, but you would have the vapors at the thought of that white man’s invention called a g-u-n. So why not make it authentic. Place an old tire over your neck and put a little gasoline in it. Strike a match and you’re all set.

[gundog]

Sorry. When I sign in to make a comment, then go backwards to escape a thread I end up in a dead end which requires that I go forward and make another comment before I continue. aa is much faster. :)

White men must be stopped: The very future of mankind depends on it

Life constantly spews forth "GOOFY BASTARDS"

Thank you Salon for identifying yourself as one of them.

His widespread and better systems of exploiting other humans and nature dominate the globe.

Technological progress, capital accumulation, modern science, free market capitalism, preserving and protecting natural rights of liberty and property, and limited government are the best ways to end exploitation of humans and increase prosperity and the standard of living of the average worker. Nature does not have intrinsic value independent of humans and exists to serve man.The modern version of these principles were discovered and implemented by whites.

[LydiaLong]

Exactly. Without the white man, they’d be living in huts.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I always new those drunks over at the Saloon were nuts. Now we learn that they are a bunch of racist bigots too.

[Organic Panic]

Who defines “white?”

This idiot forgets human history is one of violence, war, conflict, domination, and conquest. There are two events that have changed that for the better.

First is Christ and his message. Second, is capitalism.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Ah-HA!

[driftless2]

This is just a revisiting of the Susan Sontag "the white race is the cancer of human history" idiocy. If not for whites, billions of people might still be living in mud huts without modern inventions.

All these white people haters conveniently exclude the many billions of people slaughtered by non-whites. Fortunately, even at Salon, there are many people in the comments section correcting the lies of this leftist scribbler.

[driftless2]

These mental midgets must drive down highways and act like they just arose spontaneously from the soil.

Many of them put forth the idea that white people "stole" all the wealth, inventions, and ideas of oppressed third world peoples. Yes, just go to Africa and see how developed sub-Saharan Africa is excluding South Africa.

And SA will regress back to a wasteland after all the white people are killed or driven out.

read what King Leopold of Belgium's men did in the Congo

And I've read articles that challenged that generally accepted story.

Oh well, if you've seen articles ...

[driftless2]

And that is supposed to mean what? Done by the Belgians? One history of the Belgian Congo was written by a German who hated the Belgians. Many of his accounts of Belgian atrocities were never verified.

Checked on, many of the atrocities were done by Africans to other Africans. Like today. Belgium does nothing in the Congo today. Yet the black Congolese have slaughtered each other quite happily for known history.

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. The Belgians were probably not real kind to the Congolese, but I doubt they were as nasty as they were depicted.

[TexasCajun]

It’s Salon, same as The Onion.

[Peter ODonnell]

I was too busy directing the slaves to read this, but my girl Friday will prepare a summary.

It may help me to pillage more efficiently.

Sure, to get more rubber for the Belgians.

In comparison with Hitler or Stalin, nobody was that bad, but by the professed standards of 19th century Europe what was going on in the Congo was atrocious.
