There are increasing numbers of white people in the West who feel the need to martyr themselves at the altar of multiculturalism. This martyrdom goes beyond simply being an advocate of multiculturalism. I am not referring to a fondness for international cuisine. No, I am referring to people who wish to dismantle white culture. And the most bizarre aspect of this syndrome is that most of these anti-white racists are…white!
- There are white British people that are quite happy for there to be unlimited immigration into the UK.
- There are white British people that believe that immigrants do not need to assimilate into UK culture.
- There are white British people that support the protection of foreign cultures at the expense of British / Western culture.
- There are white British people that want BAME representation in jobs to be based on demographics rather than merit.
- There are white British people that genuinely feel that only white people can be racist (and they have no idea how racist that belief is).
- There are white British people that are convinced that wealth inequality between British white people and BAME people is due to structural racism.
- There are white British people that believe that any indicators that Britain is a white Christian country need to be suppressed so as to not offend immigrants.
- There are white British people that are convinced that white people owe a debt to former colonies. A debt that never be re-paid but, maybe, can be slightly mitigated with liberal amounts of ‘white hate’.
Etc etc etc.
We have entered the realms where such British whites want their own race and culture destroyed so that other races and cultures do not feel oppressed by white culture.
In an article in The American Interest, linguist and social critic John McWhorter argued that white liberal discourse on race has become quasireligious, with “uncannily rich” parallels to Christianity: white liberals embrace accusations of racism and confess their white privilege (original sin); and they seek a forgiveness from black people that can never be fully earned (grace). There’s also a substantial element of self-debasement and self-flagellation, McWhorter noted.
Western civilisation is possibly the most successful civilisation that has ever existed. However, its success is leading to its downfall. In short, the middle classes have become too numerous and too comfortable for too long. For it is they that are the chief proponants of the ‘white culture must be smashed’ narrative. Only a successful culture has the time on its hands to see inequality of cultures and blame themselves.
Such people feel so much guilt over the success of Western culture that they seek to undermine Western culture from within in order to level the playing field for other cultures. These (white) people know that the best way to show the world how not-racist they are is to attack white people. This lets brown people know that the white-attacking white person is on their side.
The self flagellating white middle classes are consumed with guilt: white guilt; colonial guilt; liberal guilt; class guilt; wealth guilt. Self flagellation is the best way they have found to assuage that guilt.
It’s a trait that perfectly reflects the age: an age in which feelings and fairness trump context and facts. They believe that there should not be inequality between the civilisations. Therefore, all civilisations should be equal. That can be achieved by hampering Western civilisation.
I am referring to a very precise demographic here: young, university-educated white liberals. This group are so sensitive and so consumed with feelings of how unfair the world is that they feel it is a reasonable objective that the white race is replaced in order to make the world better for everyone else.
Here is an example, from an American, of anti-white flagellation:
No civilisation can exist with such a large proportion of its civilians are agitating for its failure.
UPDATE:
I recently came across this article in The Atlantic by Reihan Salam that describes the white-bashing phenomenon from the perspective of a non-white. Some pertinent quotes are as follows:
The people I’ve heard archly denounce whites have for the most part been upwardly-mobile people who’ve proven pretty adept at navigating elite, predominantly white spaces. A lot of them have been whites who pride themselves on their diverse social circles and their enlightened views, and who indulge in their own half-ironic white-bashing to underscore that it is their achieved identity as intelligent, worldly people that counts most, not their ascribed identity as being of recognizably European descent.
And…
It is almost as though we’re living through a strange sort of ethnogenesis, in which those who see themselves as (for lack of a better term) upper-whites are doing everything they can to disaffiliate themselves from those they’ve deemed lower-whites. Note that to be “upper” or “lower” isn’t just about class status, though of course that’s always hovering in the background. Rather, it is about the supposed nobility that flows from racial self-flagellation.
So, you see it comes down to class again. Upper whites want to disassociate themselves from lower whites in order to impress lower browns. Yet upper whites don’t see the hypocrisy in their position. how hypocritical. Nor do they realise their attitude is patronising to brown people. It’s the white saviour complex.
