In the civilized world, there is no only minimally relevant leader who openly defends the superiority of one race over another. Nor is there any leader attracting mobs with the promise of eliminating a particular race. There just isn’t. There can be a few crazy people, just as there can be a lot of closeted racists. But racism thus declared, explicit, used as government platform doesn’t exist.
Everyone is against racism. Everyone. Even those people who insist on racist comment. In the racist joke. Even that person who thinks their company shouldn’t hire people of color. Even those who use expressions like “color”. Even those who say “mute servant”, “on the thighs” and “denyre”. I dare you to walk around the block and find one person who is
in favor of
Didn’t find it, right? I said! In the worst case scenario, if you live near a federal university, you may have encountered a few crazy people preaching the racial superiority of blacks over whites, if not the need for the extermination of the branquelos 2022 in order to have historical reparation. But they’re just young lunatics full of gogó and who won’t give up their daddy’s allowance. The good thing is that this kind of speech is like acne and disappears with age.
Mind you: I’m not saying that racism (back & back) doesn’t exist. On the contrary. There are many people who still believe that there are relevant differences between whites and blacks to the point of justifying the subjugation of one race by another. But no one in their right mind would ever have the courage to expose this idea to public scrutiny. And not because it’s against the law, as positivists reading me right now think. Nobody beats their chest to say they are racist anymore because doing so is socially and morally unacceptable.
But the Identitarian Progressive Left, we know, is not known for its ability to recognize advances of any kind. Definitely “gratitude” is not a word that is part of her vocabulary. On the contrary. The more resentment there is, the better for these people who live on rancor and the desire for revenge. Hence why, instead of highlighting the positive changes that the world has undergone in the last hundred years (a black man presided over the United States of America, man!), the progressive identity left prefers to wallow in the past, in order to repair a given for which there is simply no fix.
Worse: for the identity progressive left this desire of thinly disguised revenge of reparation can only take place through (one Engov before) public policies (one Engov after). That is, through the comprehensive action of the State. But not just any state. We are talking here about a police state that considers itself capable of getting into the heads of residual racists, that is, the ignorant, rude and bad characters (the Internet teaches that this is the correct plural and who am I to disagree?) .
In fact, taking advantage of the subject that I raised myself, there are many (fair) agendas of the identity progressive left that have advanced in the last century, without this same identity progressive left having been able to recognize such advances. In the civilized world, no one preaches anymore that women stay at home or that they don’t have the right to vote or receive equal pay with men. No one advocates imprisonment or the death penalty for homosexuals anymore. Even transvestites have the right to change their name.
The screaming, however, to be continued. And it has to go on. After all, if there’s no screaming, it’s because the world is slowly trying to find some kind of natural balance. And this is unacceptable for the progressive identity left, which wants everything “for yesterday” and in the most artificial and violent way possible. Preferably under the orders of a “good-hearted despot” who will send that uncle of yours who used the wrong pronouns to refer to a fat black trans person to a re-education camp – where he will come out, oh, transformed. With luck, transformed precisely into the fat black trans and dwarf who until the other day would have been of death by calling-le2022 “he” . Check it out.
In addition, I want to close this text with a reference to Antônio Risério and his article “Racism of blacks against whites gains strength with identity” – a masterpiece of journalistic provocation. In the text, which has generated hysteria among the identitarian progressive left, Risério makes reference to “Marcus Garvey — an admirer of Hitler (his anti-Semitism even led him to seek a disconcerting partnership with the Ku Klux Klan) and of Mussolini —, who became guru of Bob Marley and Jamaican reggae, faithful to the cult of the dictator Haile Selassie, Ras Tafari, supposed heir of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.”
An anti-Semitic black man who gave rise to a cult that idealized a dictator who claimed to be King Solomon’s heir. Wow! How is there no movie or series (comedy, of course) about this abject but fascinating and, in fact, completely crazy character? Here’s the thing: when it comes to racism, back and forth, history offers us these characters so that we learn from their mistakes – and not so that we repeat the same mistakes. But there are those who prefer to tear down statues.
