Dana Loesch, by way of exposing the grift of the “Anti-Racism” industry, published a whistle-blower account of the Coca Cola session with Robin DeAngelo<\/a> a few weeks back – the one that told Cokers to, well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Be less white” – a term that is couldn’t be a purer example of Berg’s 21st Law of Rhetorical Evolution<\/a> if I’d designed it that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When it comes to \u201cprogressive\u201d policy, yesterday\u2019s absurd joke is today\u2019s serious proposal and tomorrow\u2019s potential law<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I harken back to a generation of Bill Murray telling his fellow recruits in Stripes<\/em> [1] to “be less white” as they go through their drill routine; of a generation or two of bar bands and nightclub DJs chiding their stiff-dancing, dorky audiences bobbing along to “Slow Ride” or “More than a Feeling” or “I’m All Out Of Love”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Berg’s 21st Law isn’t called “Berg’s 21st Suggestion” for a reason. There’s a massive industry of grifters, rage consultants and other ideological hogs bellying up to the trough that is the upper-middle-class First World white guilt goldmine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robin DeAngelo – who is to the melodramatic upper-middle-class, consequence-free “white guilt” that is a prime symptom of “Urban Progressive Privilege” what Bernie Madoff was to Old Manhattan Money. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You’ve seen her list before, but here it is, just to jog the memory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What this glob of word salad and gaslighting is really asking is “be less a product of Western Civilization – the most humane civilization in a human history dominated by tyrants, war, oppression, disease and early death – and shush up as we return to an era of aristocrats, knights, and vassals”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is nothing new, if you’ve been reading this blog and\/or have any functioning critical thinking capability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond that, though? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I’m “less white”, aren’t I then appropriating someone else’s culture? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
