Racial Violence Isn't a One Way Street
BLUF:[American Greatness] The object of hate is so often a remarkably beautiful woman or man. It is as if the aim is to forever obliterate perceived beauty considered unattainable. On the Dark Continent, the same dynamic was in play when "Hutus picked up machetes to slash to bits nearly a million of their Tutsi neighbors in the 1994 Rwandan genocide." There, . . . tribal allegiance trumps political persuasion and envy carries the day. The Tutsi—an alien, Nilotic African people, who formed a minority in Rwanda and Burundi—had always been resented by the Hutus. The tall, imposing Tutsis, whose facial features the lovely supermodel Iman instantiates, had dominated them on-and-off since the 15th Century. On a deeper level, contends Keith Richburg, an African-American journalist, the Hutus were "slashing at their own perceived ugliness, as if destroying this thing of beauty, this thing they could never really attain, removing it from the earth forever. For America to have incorporated and assimilated the unreason of "racism" on such a self-immolating scale, as American society has done, is to be mired in self-contradiction. To the Greek philosophers, to be mired in self-contradiction was to be less than human, less than coherent, less than sane. This is where American society finds itself: less than human, less than coherent, less than sane. Patriots, please quit the "rest in peace" platitudes. Cannon Hinnant and all the rest rage, rage from the grave. Posted by: Besoeker 2020-08-17 |
