Entry: Race, Racism, and Charity Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/race_racism_and_charity#27298 Post contents: "Modern anti-racism depends in part upon the idea that great disparities in outcome between the races are due to past discrimination and widespread 'invidious' racism." ...And this is the reason for the erroding validity of "racism" as a concept, at least among the targets of that particular charge. White people see a steady decline of fortunes among the oppressed, decades after the disappearce of Jim Crow and night riders. At the same time groups that value industry and education - especially Jews and Asians - consistently thrive. Today, a growing number of white Gentiles hear the word "racism" - and stop listening. There are still scattered dunderheads who need the self-righteous jolt impied by "anti-racism." And they can be "anti-racists" in this country - and throughout the rest of the Western world - with absolutely no fear of reprisal or sanction; "anti-racism" is a bold stand that requires no boldness at all. The cornerstone of such self-aggrandizement is moral providence, delusional authority to sit in judgment of the rest of the world and apply unachievably high standards to the rightness and wrongness of everything rooted in, rolling on or sucking up oxygen from Mother Earth.
