His point is on top of his head...

Well, yeah - he's saying the new constellation persists in ordering and unifying the people in permanent opposition to the nonpeople.

Duh.

[Jimmyclyde]

What in the name of all that is good is this wack-job talking about?

I'm guessing this guy is a History major who's trying to impress some commie professor.

Or he's been dropped on his head one to many times.

Either way,he needs to go easy on the bong hits.

Not to you personally but, I'll never understand why people post articles from University newspapers here.

I mean, university newspapers are "just pretend" papers produced by "journalists" who've not yet attempted to exist in the real world where human effort breeds consequence.  

Why not post High School Newspaper articles?

I'd weigh the opinions of the NY Times before any university paper in the US because there's a chance (however small) that a writer at the Times has actually lived in the real world and developed an informed opinion based on experience.

I know what I was like when I was 20.  I know what my friends were like.  Lets not kid ourselves: We all know that the opinions of 20 year olds are basically worthless.

Postmodern writing reminds me of something that could be churned out by an ant. Using overwrought moralistic language, vague concepts, bits and pieces from philosophy and history, it always tells the same tale in exactly the same way it's been told hundreds of times before. Can you guess the moral of the story - of any story that postmodernists would like to tell? It's easy. White men are evil. "People of color" are good. The Enlightenment was a study in oppression. No one knows but us.

This author's little exercise is the same as thousands of others. It sounds the same; tt smells the same. It uses the same phrases and the same emotionally-charged moralistic language. It's the kind of writing that would be acceptable in Soviet Russia.

Postmodernists are boring, pretentious midgets. The one thing they appear to love most of all, however, is the thought of educating everyone else as to their own goodness. They love the moral pose and the kettle drum bang of their own bloated rhetoric.

He is saying that he is frustrated that because he is not white, he has little or no voice in shaping american public policy. Fact is, his non whiteness has nothing to do with it. For most of us, life is about finding our personal happiness in our own little sphere, and we have little or no effect in the big scheme of things.

To quote a song title "everbody wants to rule the world". This guy does too, but does not understand that only a few actually get to do it or even have a small semblence of real power.
