Racial Dolezal
2015-06-17
A comment on Twitter asked: what must America's enemies be thinking of its recent obsession with men becoming women, and white people becoming black?
Even Jelani Cobb of New Yorker has begun to suspect that society has put its foot upon the staircase of madness.

...Cobb ultimately fights back the momentary worry and denies there anything really wrong. She decides that fabulism has a good side; that "our means of defining ourselves are complex and contradictory ... but ... remains vital." However that may be, she is clearly right in seeing the trend cannot stop at Jenner and Dolezal. There are more "trans" things on the horizon, from trans-nationals who "identify" as Green Card holders to trans-realists who identify with their social media avatars [2]. Recent events are just the first trickle of stones which precede an avalanche that is sure to follow.

...The scary thing about finding oneself in the midst of this process is it could be irreversible. It's Jenner and Dolezal's world now. We just live in it. When no combination of words, psychological analysis or even drugs can stop the onset, the only things which the companions of madmen in a castle must consider are a) how bad the final breakdown will be; and b) where to hide when the cultural elites start running around with axes.
