Kill Whitey and Other Leftist Fantasies
The ever-feisty, always irrepressible Rev. Jeremiah
Wright is back in the news. Yessiree, President
Obama’s long-time spiritual guru is once again
regaling audiences with his unique blend of
fire-and-brimestone and racial invective.
During a seminar held in Chicago last week,
Wright broke into his well-honed rap routine,
claiming, “White folk done took this
country.” And “You're in their home, and
they're gonna let you know it.” Wright then
accused whites of designing schools to mis-educate
blacks “not by benign neglect but by malignant
intent.”
Refocusing his broadside, Wright continued,
“whites and Jews are controlling the flow of
worldwide information and oppressing blacks in
Israel and America.” (Note to the good pastor:
there are a total of 7 black persons in all of
Israel.) “You are not now, nor have you ever
been, nor will you ever be a brother to white
folk,” concluding his hoary rant.
Of course Rev. Wright never uttered the words,
“Kill whitey.” But the venomous sentiment
behind his pronouncements was evident.
Just as Wright was concluding his impassioned
soliloquy in Chicago, the 18th annual San Francisco
Dyke March was set to get underway. Its web page
featured the usual warning: Men would be allowed to
come watch the event, but only if they agreed to
“stand and support us from the
sidelines.”
Following the 2004 Dyke March, the San Francisco
Chronicle rhapsodized, “For a few hours
Saturday night, Vicki Noble got a fleeting glimpse
of a world devoid of men -- and she came away
excited and deeply moved. ‘This is what the
world would look like if women ruled the world,
which we intend to do,’ said Noble, 57, of
Santa Cruz.”
And one year the Dyke March featured women
brandishing torches and a banner that read,
“Death to the Patriarchy.” No hooded
robes or burning crosses, to the enormous relief of
many.
Speaking of the patriarchy, the July/August
issue of The Atlantic just hit the newsstands
featuring this cheery message on its cover: The
End of Men: How Women are Taking Control.
I’ve waded through the article’s
half-baked generalizations, toxic assertions, and
perverse logic --- believe me, you don’t want
your 12-year-old son going near this stuff.

The current issue of The Atlantic also features
what it modestly describes as the 14-3/4 Biggest
Ideas of the Year. Here’s Bright Idea No. 9:
The Catholic Church is Finished.”
Expounding on Catholicism’s sex abuse
crisis, the liberal rag indulges in this paroxysm
of editorial hubris: “No, nothing could save
the Church: it was too corrupt, too compromised,
too medieval, too anachronistic. And now, at last,
it was finished.”
Then there’s the bedrock institution of the
family. As we know, the feminist Left targeted the
nuclear family for elimination years ago. And now,
they have something to show for all their efforts.
Speaking at a 2009 Mexico City seminar, Arie
Hoekman, leader at the United Nations Population
Fund, ridiculed conservatives who worry about
out-of-wedlock births. Hoekman celebrated family
break-down with this commentary:
“More than a crisis, we are in the presence
of a weakening of the patriarchal structure, as a
result of the disappearance of the economic base
that sustains it and because of the rise of new
values centered in the recognition of fundamental
human rights.”
A year later, Robert Rector of the Heritage
Foundation would lament in his sage commentary,
“Marital collapse creates a burgeoning new
clientele dependent on government services and
political patrons….The statist Left is not
content to merely watch marriage die; it seeks to
nail the coffin lid tightly shut.”
Liberals like to brag that destroying white
culture, patriarchy, the church, and the family is
all for a greater, inevitable good – to
eliminate inequality and raise up the dispossessed.
But even here, the liberal manifesto turns out to
be rank hypocrisy.
Long-term readers know that for years I have
followed the meteoric rise of the global AIDS
epidemic. To this day, it continues to spike out of
control. In the African country of Swaziland, for
example, the HIV prevalence rate is 26%, which
means one-quarter of its adult population is living
under the terrifying pall of an imminent death
sentence.
We’ve known for years that the ABC strategy
(Abstinence, Be faithful, Condoms for high-risk
populations) is the solution to stopping the global
spread of AIDS. But the HIV prevention movement has
been co-opted by women’s-libbers who only care
about female empowerment, so they push for women to
use ineffective (and possibly harmful) vaginal
microbicides.
And homosexual activists only want to hear the
oxymoronic “Safe Sex” message: condoms,
condoms, and more condoms.
In the final analysis, the radical Left has
evolved to the point of nihilism: condemning White
culture, marginalizing men, subverting the church,
destroying the family, and taking perverse pleasure
in the end of life itself.
