Editorial: John Mayer, White Supremacy and Euro-Settler Insecurities

Revised: 2.12.10 | Editor’s Note: This commentary is in response to a reader who took offence to this newswire’s reportage of the John Mayer “Racist Genitals” controversy. This writer is not accusing the reader of being a racial bigot and this article should not be assumed as such.  I trust that the respondent is quite sincere in addressing racial bias, but I am merely pointing out that his rush to defend White society as a separate entity from Mayer’s remarks is a very important dynamic of the American “race problem” and one that White Americans need to acknowledge if they are at all serious about “solving” the US’s dirty closet of discrimination. „Editorial: John Mayer, White Supremacy and Euro-Settler Insecurities“ weiterlesen

One still popular interpretation of Christianity, Calvinism, defines every not-wealthy person as guilty and a sinner, because he´s not successful and therefore not loved by the Allmighty. Well, that perfectly fits to the social system in America: if you´re poor, you´re guilty and moreover a potential socialist, because you could come to the conclusion that the wealthy are just regular human beings like everybody else is. „Americans, socialist or alive“ weiterlesen

The man who murdered Count Folke Bernadotte died, but his evil example is still very much with us

London’s Daily Telegraph has become a weird newspaper, owned by twin brothers who are creepy characters and whose purchase of the publication caused many a shudder. The paper has become a dismal tabloid caricature of its formerly dignified self.
