The idea of the personal journey being self-documented on film is not new. Ross McEllwe’s autobiographical 1986 documentary Sherman’s March is a great example. McEllwe initially wanted to document the impacts of William Sherman’s campaigns in Georgia and the Carolinas during the Civil War, but ended up making a film about all the women in his life and why he cannot find romantic stability. A clever idea, and quite poignant in its execution. (more…)

Even though the metaphoric passenger airliner of Western civilization is plummeting at speed towards its ultimate destruction on the craggy peaks of the multi-cult, it’s disconcerting to look around at our fellow passengers who are completely oblivious. There are those who have assumed the crash position, calm as Hindu cows. And there are still others who are raging against the decline like irate anti-heroes who want their last single serving half-and-half cream added to their bitter coffee of entitlement before they’re obliterated.

Jim Goad has produced a short film to accompany his latest essay, “The Only Reason White Women Shouldn’t Hate Themselves.” (more…)

Since growing up cocooned in economic wealth is far likelier to shield a person from life’s harsher realities than merely growing up white, writer Nellie Bowles is spoiled to the point where she stinks. She’s descended from Henry Miller, but not the softcore porno novelist — the Evil White Male who helped bankroll Bowles’ charmed and risk-free life was the “Cattle King of California” who “was at one point one of the largest landowners in the United States.” Bowles inherited everything except a pretty face.

Everyone (Except White Supremacists) Agrees: It’s a White Supremacist World!
As I stumble pell-mell into the morass of news stories, opinion columns, and academic essays that help me to form a mental hologram of what the hell is going on in this world every week, it seems as if everyone agrees that we live in a world that is thoroughly marinated in white supremacy. (more…)

Part 3 of 3 (Part 1 here, Part 2 here)
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…)

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…)

Post-Teenaged Man Charged With Shooting at White Family Whose Basketball Rolled Into His Yard
Since it is now standard journalistic practice to refer to rampaging black criminals as “teens,” a recent story from North Carolina requires me to refer to a 24-year-old black male accused of attempted murder as a “post-teenaged man.”
Last week’s news cycle was dominated by the saga of a black teen who was shot by an 84-year-old white man after ringing the wrong doorbell. (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…)

After Watching Jonah Hill Movie, Kanye West Says He Likes the Jews Again; The Jews Aren’t Impressed
The mystifying success of talentless shlubs such as Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen, each of whom has accrued an estimated net worth of $45 million in the entertainment industry by being dauntingly and almost threateningly unentertaining, is only explicable if one wholeheartedly embraces the premise that the Jews run Hollywood. If the Jews didn’t run Hollywood, neither one of these charmless spuds would manage to land even a supporting role in a local dinner-theater production of The Music Man in a small town somewhere on Nebraska’s remote western plains.

“Parallelomania” is a term used in the study of history and religion. It entails ascribing a significant relationship between two works of scripture, myth, or literature simply because they parallel each other in some way. These parallels can be trivial or taken out of context, or a scholar can proclaim that such works share a common source or a causal link without any direct evidence. In either case, coincidence and other factors are ruled out. A great example is insisting there was a worldwide pre-historic flood because several ancient cultures had flood myths.
In keeping with the spirit of parallelomania, I will now proclaim that Robin DiAngelo and Greg Johnson occupy opposite sides of the same coin. (more…)

It’s amazing how Rightists and Leftists can read the very same data and arrive at completely different conclusions. We say crime by non-whites is their fault; bleeding-hearted liberals say it’s our fault. (more…)

Part 1 of 2 (Part 2 here)
It’s hard not to laugh at Robin DiAngelo, but not because she’s a comedian. Her textbook What Does It Mean to Be White?: Developing White Racial Literacy[1] began what is thus far a tetralogy of long sermons on race relations. Averaging a new title every three years, she came out with her most recent ethnomasochist manual back in June.
I’m going to the source with this one rather than the warmed-up leftovers. (more…)
