Ta-Nehisi Coates Less White Men Equals Progress


"A Story of Progress

A black president, a gay senator, a rising tide of women in power ...
  • "The United States of America, where under the color of law and under the force of terrorism whole swaths of black people were deprived of the right to vote in recent memory ...
  • ""The United States of America, a country with the vending of black people barely out of living memory, with the systemic white supremacy very much in its living memory ...
"That president is the killer of Osama bin Laden. That president, a black man, a card-carrying member of this country's pariah class ... I am not sure what more to make of this. I would not say that the battle is over, but that some monster of American history, some wraith, some awful Power went into battle last night, and is presently limping away mortally wounded. The beast-handlers know this. ..."

The loving Martin Luther King-like Tolerance Police strike again. Wow, such an evil nation America has been, obviously as it was created and maintained by noxious whites, especially compared to some peace and justice nirvana like Mexico, or, say, the vibrant delightful brotherly love paradise of Zimbabwe. 

And yet, strangely, these same oppressed teeming peoples of the world always seem to be having fistfights with each other over who will get to be the next to belly-crawl through the nearest border-fence gap so that he or she can gleefully dive into our Snidely Whiplash-like cesspool of evildoers, an America still ghoulishly temporarily populated by we, the white "beast".
