It’s June, and what was once Bride Month is now Pride Month. So that means it’s time to celebrate, everyone! Mothers and fathers only get one day each every year, but 175ers get 30 days — and surely that must be faaaabulous! (more…)

By Way of Conclusion

The conclusion is pretty mopey, as usual. For example:

The situation that I have examined, it is clear by now, is not a classic one. Scientific objectivity was barred to me, for the alienated, the neurotic, was my brother, my sister, my father. I have ceaselessly striven to show the Negro that in a sense he makes himself abnormal; to show the white man that he is at once the perpetrator and the victim of a delusion. (more…)

The Negro and Psychopathology

This one is the longest chapter, about double the size of most of the others. Fortunately, it’s actually a bit relatable here and there; not entirely bitching and moaning. It begins by explaining that neurosis comes from bad upbringing — your basic Freud 101. (more…)

The Negro and Language

After the opening matter ate up about 20% of the text, the book begins for real. As it starts to get to the point, the moaning opens up in earnest: (more…)

Frantz Fanon

Part 1 of 4 (Part 2 here)

Frantz Fanon was a black author who mostly wrote about being black. (Of course, right?) The celebrated skintellectual began as a citizen of Martinique. He volunteered for the De Gaullist forces during the Second World War. Then he got a university education on scholarship in Lyon and became a psychiatrist.

What would he have done had he stayed in Martinique — editing some sad Leftist rag in Fort-de-France, perhaps? If that didn’t work out, then like many other islanders he could’ve earned his daily bread with a machete, chopping down bananas or sugar cane all day under the tropical Sun. (more…)

Taking a tremendously daring stand for the silenced and marginalized.

In recent times, Woke Capital has become increasingly aggressive. The results included strange virtue-signaling the likes of which would have been unimaginable until not long ago. How much can the Limousine Leftists rub our noses in their bizarre values before customers refuse to put up with it? As the proverb goes, “Get woke, go broke.” More to the point, how long will it take for the corporations to learn the lesson? (more…)

Beware of a new epidemic, Gibsmedat Fever!

Blacks with an entitlement complex think the government that freed their long-forgotten ancestors now owes them back wages. This became San Francisco’s second Black Plague when they entertained the ridiculous idea of collective compensation. (more…)

In Ayn Rand’s celebrated novel Atlas Shrugged, the enigmatic pirate Ragnar Danneskjöld said the following about a fictional crook with good public relations:

I’m after a man whom I want to destroy. He died many centuries ago, but until the last trace of him is wiped out of men’s minds, we will not have a decent world to live in . . . Robin Hood. (more…)

We aren’t actually that nice

Up to this point, I’ve been reminded at times of Nietzsche’s classic definition of humble-bragging from Human, All Too Human: “He who humbles himself wants to be exalted.” This chapter is different. Snowflake takes a break from the Socratic humility about not having all the answers and her eternal quest for enlightenment. (more…)

As far as pep talks go, Nightwing discussing his boners is still less awkward than a DiAngelo struggle session.

There is no choir

The quote heading the third chapter is from the author Anika Nailah, a Person Of Capitalization who (prepare to be surprised) writes about the black experience:

Being with white progressives is like being a driving instructor and having someone who does not know how to drive but thinks that they do get in the car with you. (more…)

Part 1 of 3 (Part 2 here)

Robin DiAngelo, a professor and diversity mystagogue, wrote some books about race relations, heavily promoted by the usual suspects. Snowflake’s fourth ethnomasochistic tome is Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm (Boston: Beacon Press, 2021). Liberals are typically people who pride themselves on niceness, and in actual fact are already too nice for their own good, but the book lambastes them for failing to live up to their standards of niceness. Does this book deserve a nomination for a Theodor Adorno Culture Distortion Prize, or what? (more…)

Planning ahead

When Leftists are out of power, they’re figuring out how to get into power. One classic example is Vladimir Lenin’s What is to Be Done? My take is that it’s dreadfully boring, which is hardly unusual for pinko texts. The main theme is why revolutionary Communism is better than organized labor movements that are only seeking better paychecks. (more…)

Pondering America’s political landscape since the 1960s can be rather maddening. For the most part, the Right has been spinning its wheels in a rut. (more…)
