In this silly article (don’t bother, you’ll just get bored and it’s the WaPo), some aggrieved Black woman concludes:
“A queen might be dead, but the legacy of white Christian supremacy lives on.”
To which my response would be:
“And what, precisely, would you replace it with?”
If one considers the possible alternatives (Black tribalism, atheistic totalitarianism etc.), I’m not so sure that White Christian Supremacy — as a form of government — is the worst of all the options available. Certainly, it was White Christians who first abolished slavery (of all people, not just Blacks) through the governments of Sweden, Denmark and Great Britain, to name but three. It was also White Christians who developed the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution, without which very little of today’s civilization would exist. Heck, White Christian Supremacy even created equations like 2+2=4, according to this moron.
I realize that White Christianity is not without its faults and shortcomings — but once again, when one compares it to the other options, it becomes like Churchill’s description of capitalism: “The worst form of government, except for all the others.”
Ask me too whether I’d rather (even as an atheist) live in a White sorta-Christian nation like the United States vs. a Black tribal one, a Chinese totalitarian state, a Muslim theocracy or even a soft socialist country like New Zealand or Australia… and it’s not even a close decision.
Stupid bitch.
