Wokeness And Woo, Together Again

Note the implication that “whiteness,” being white, equals racism and is therefore by default a thing to be discussed in terms of pathology, a thing to be cured. “Colour-blindness” – i.e., not being weirdly fixated by race – is, it turns out, deeply problematic, and must give way to deconstructing “the whiteness=greatness fallacy in white psyches.” Which is what “white psyches” are all about, you see.

An “anti-racist” speaks.

  1. CRT is an American obsession that has been grafted into Canada and now into curriculums. I hope my grade one grand daughter just gets on with her life and learns to read in French as well as she does in English.

    We actually do not have many race issues in my very diverse city, although mostly, we have Asians. Many of the people that I deal with and help me out in everyday life were not born here, but have lived here for years now. They were born in Hong Kong, mainland China, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Poland, India or Shri Lanka, Britain, the Philippines, Australia etc. We are all just Canadians. Toronto and Montreal may differ in the mix.

    Our experience does not fit the American narrative, just as it hardly fits theirs as well. Slavery was over well before Canada was a country in 1833.

    CRT is a bad and distructive theory and when I was first exposed to it in a public service of Canada course circa 2003, I knew that it was nonsense. I spent 5 years in Japan as a diplomatic wife, so I do get how different cultures react to foreigners. Race is no big deal ever. It is culture that matters. We made very good friends in Japan, but I was always not Japanese.

    Our very blonde children were baby showpieces. It was only slightly annoying to have tour bus operators stop so that they could see real white folks out for a family walk. For them, a novelty …

    1. Thanks L.
      Very much enjoyed your posting here.
      And your right, we really have no racist discrimination except what our media spews and our politicians following their fake narrative.
      The deceptive media tries to bring forth ‘shocking narratives’ all the time which our politicians swallow hook, line and sinker.
      They never check if anything is bullshit. They just follow what the media has in mind at the time.

      Great Post…!!
      CRT is just another aspect of Marxist “Destroy Western Hemisphere Euro Centric Morality”
      Those that proscribe to this GARBAGE truly need to be “re-educated”…..a few months living in Mogadishu would suffice.

      1. Yes indeed. One of my adult children, the cute white “novelty” baby in Japan, just loves spending time visiting other countries, even ones I would not go to in the middle east during wars. In Yokohama, the kids were great friend-makers. They spoke Japanese, and, being outgoing, would become friendly with shy people in restaurants; eventually, the Japanese would talk to we parents, who could manage well in their language, apologizing of course, for our children and their western behaviour.

        Part of my child’s travels pre-COVID were work-related (Antarctica, Iceland, South Africa and Thailand come to mind). The rest, now well over 100 countries were personal holidays, with friends or on tours. Speaking three languages (Japanese forgotten) helps, as does being street-wise, learned on a first trip to Mexico at 19 (going to an ATM at 4 AM is dumb) and respecting other cultures’ dress codes. Not sure whether Somalia is on the list of visited or “not yet”.

        I have pictures from many countries with a huge Vancouver Canucks flag, which seems to jump into the luggage first and comes out for photo ops. Oh, and this child is an AmeriCAN dual, born in Manhattan, living in CA. Under the rules of the day, America claimed the baby as one of their own, but had two Canucks as parents and grew up in Eastern Canada. Now fully American.

    3. Seems CRT is all about lies and BS and grafting and theft of WHITE CULTURE.
      The lie is huge and told often. The Indian Industry has also adopted it as well. White People need to develop some backbone and Pride.
      White Children need to be taught the truth and the facts. And to be proud of who they are and what has been accomplished.

    1. Rusty, historically whiteness does equal greatness. It would be very difficult to prove otherwise.

      1. VOWG if I may…I think that you are saying is “whites” from all over the world contributed to the advancement of all peoples on this planet in Science, Engineering , Culture and the Arts giving us a better more comfortable life . I’m not saying we should be put on a pedestal, but as a species we should take pride in our accomplishments . Steve O

      2. Freedom creates greatness, the ‘Liberal’ left intentionally confuses it with race as they hate both freedom and others outside of their ideological cult equally.

    2. Rusty – Agreed.

      Seems to me the Centre of our Western Civilization germinated in Western Europe, not Central Africa, the Middle East, Asia or anywhere else.

      1. I think that the Greeks did build on knowledge from the earlier middle eastern and Egyptian cultures, though. Most certainly, leaps and bounds were made in Europe.

      2. If anything, the places were Greece and Italy.
        They put in the solid base of reason and thinking among other things.

  2. It would seem that there is no racist like antiracist.
    That would be the pinnacle of racism.
    Of course normal people are not occupied with such bullshit.
    The witch doctor, as it appears makes good living by her racism.
    Well those that will pay, probably deserve to pay for their stupidity.
    As long as the witch doctor has certificate for going to school for a long time, the individual is safe.

    In Canada, as is usual, there will be a wave of racist bullshit whipped by the media cartel, the politicians and the schoolboards.
    Monkey see, monkey do.

    1. Of course normal people are not occupied with such bullshit.

      TRUE but according to the chairman of the BC ‘human rights’ commission (Indian but born here I believe) such a claim is proof of racism. If you say you don’t pay any attention to skin colour that’s ‘problematic’ and a possible indication that you are racist. I saw this on a billboard ad near my home in Vancouver. The ad of course was trolling for ‘human rights’ abuses (read: $ windfall seekers at $0 cost to them).

  3. I have never grasped the concept that the solution to reducing racism is to be more racist. Or that we have so little racism that we have to import American racism to make our home grown racism industry viable. Guess that’s why I don’t have a doctorate in Voodoo.

    1. Exiled, “a doctorate in Voodoo” I think you may have just identified a business opportunity.
      CRT really, is just racist Voodoo, with a new name. Those pushing it are being dishonest. CRT is just reverse racism,and it is evil, and still racism in disguise.
