What Rep. Steve King's "Racist" Statements Teach
2017-03-21
BLUF: [Daily Caller] Westerners have the best countries in the world. The Rest of the world wants to come to The West. But Westerners themselves are too submissive and browbeaten to appreciate that their lovely countries are the way they are due to Western civilization’s human seed capital. At their inception, the core, founding populations in these countries possessed the innate abilities and philosophical sensibilities to flourish mightily. Now they’re being taught--on pain of punishment--that populations are interchangeable.

That’s likely what Rep. King was cautioning America about on Jan Mickelson’s Iowa radio station. It was certainly what this writer was warning about, on the same radio station, to the same broadcaster, in 2011, while discussing "Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa." Then as now, Mr. Mickelson and his guest were working to expose "the misdirected pursuit of a multicultural soup," as he put it.

#2  I never understood the honourable Congressman's comments to refer to race, whether white or otherwise, but to all Americans. The racism accusation is straightforward throwing things against the wall to see what sticks.

#1  TheRepublican congressman quickly reframed the comments. It was not our race he was alluding to, but "our stock, our country, our culture, our civilization." Those sound like proxies for race. Nice try, congressman.

Contrary to what AL Sharpton, David Duke, or the author of this piece say Congressman King's comments are not specifically about race.
