About Me:
The logic of antiracism, or the illusion of racism:
The problem with racists is that their whole political philosophy is based on the most fortuitous event: birth. The keystone of their ideology is an accident (in their case a catastrophe). Racism is the philosophy (I'm being generous now) of the misfits and the antisocials: people who because they are social mistakes, arbitrarily claim their supremacy (Hannah Arendt called them "the mob", namely the rejects of every social class within a nation): this dispenses them from conquering this "supremacy" through their deeds: I was born, therefore I'm superior is their motto. Is there a better definition of laziness?
"Our German neighbours have ascribed to themselves a teutonic type that is fair, long-headed, tall and virile. Let us make a composite picture of a typical Teuton from the most prominent exponents of this view. Let him be as blond as Hitler, as dolichocephalic as Rosenberg, as tall as Goebbels, as slender as Goering, and as manly as Streicher. How much would this resemble the German ideal?" (Julian Huxley and A.C Haddon, We Europeans: A Survey of "Racial" Problems, 1936)
"[Colonialism] is the outcome of a historical process which has made the larger part of mankind subservient to the other. During that process millions of innocent human beings have had their resources plundered and their institutions and beliefs destroyed, whilst they themselves were ruthlessly killed, thrown into bondage, and contaminated by diseases they were unable to resist." (Claude Levi-Strauss, Anthropologie Structurale, II).
