  1. My questions are (genuinely looking for answers) 1. How did it become acceptable to demonize white people? My answer: white feminists are at the root of it. At my work, it was always the white women who were excited about Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, etc. My black and hispanic colleagues were not interested. 2. Who does the demonization of white people serve? My answer: It's used primarily to silence white men and is being used on a younger generation of men to think that being white and male is inherently bad. What I can't work out is why our ruling class in the States, the UK, and Western Europe would encourage this view, since almost all of them are white males. There must be some gain to them, or they wouldn't allow it--my best guess is that they don't feel the "white males are always bad" rule can ever be truly applied to them, since their wealth and power insulates them from it, but that it's a useful cudgel against the white working class (who are still far and away the majority in the UK, Europe, and the USA). I would also guess that white feminists can use the "white is bad" to show that they are the "good ones" (willing to wear the hair shirt) while white men are the "bad ones", and thereby gain the upper hand. A personal story: I recently retired, but in my last job, the teaching staff were upset that I was hired (despite having far and away the best credentials and potential for the job according to the hiring committee) because I didn't tick enough diversity boxes. They wanted a woman who was either a member of a religious or ethnic minority (or both). They hired such a woman for another job at the same time and she didn't last the year, because she wasn't very well-qualified for the position and didn't take the effort to learn how to fulfill even the basics of her job. I was very successful and exceeded expectations, rebuilding a department that had fallen apart under my predecessor and rejuvenating it. Despite this, I was told on more than one occasion: "You only got this job because you're an older white man." All of my years of experience and going from success to success were devalued simply because of two characteristics I didn't choose (being male and being white). This is the opposite of the colorblind society Dr. King dreamed of, where a person is judged not by race, but by character.

  2. Somebody had to take up Christopher Hitchens' mantle.

  3. I feel that, as a conservative, Douglas Murray is unable or unwilling to view the anti-whiteness construct through a class analysis. When people say "working class", the picture most people get is of a white man, when in fact many people of color are also working class. We have to think about whether or not the demonization of white men is being used to oppress the working class in general by 1. Identifying "the working class" as "white men" (even though it's not just that) and 2. Demonizing "white men". Which would perfectly suit the One Percenters who are selling us out to the highest bidder.
