Britain has been in denial for too long

Britain has been in denial for too long
By Mark Steyn

Mark Steyn writing about the Queens Christmas speech covers quite a bit of ground, from the sodomy of the African slave under the Caribbean moon, to the fact that many young black males are “homophobic”. The relief operation in the Indian Ocean countries making up the core group co-ordinating relief efforts - America, Australia, India, Japan - are three-quarters British-derived.

The same can be said of the most effective second-tier nations involved, such as Singapore and Malaysia. A healthy culture should be able to weigh the pros and cons of the Britannic inheritance in a balanced way. At it core is an argument that we are destroying ourselves as a nation, as we are continually bombarded with guilt inducing multiculturalist twaddle from the left wing, who seem very happy to see the end of British pride.

According to my understanding he is however wrong to attribute “multiculturalism” as a suicide cult conceived by the Western elites, I understood that it, along with its partner “Political Correctness” arrived in the west via America from the communist movement in German early last century. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism, which as a concept was codified by the Frankfurt Institute, whose members being Jewish, were not welcome in German with the rise of the Nazis, and left Germany to set up shop in New York. Political Correctness and multiculturalism are part of Marxist Critical theory. What Critical Theory is about is simply criticizing. It calls for the most destructive criticism possible, in every possible way, designed to bring the current order down, it is igneous because it sets up a system of self-criticising which just feed of itself and eventually will bring down our society, I do know how outlandish this sounds, however if you would care to look at the present state of our society you will see that it is not outlandish at all because it is happening all the time as Mark Steyn points out in his article…

“For example, last week the Guardian forced itself to consider the awkward fact that many young black males are “homophobic”. This would be a disadvantage if one were hoping to make a career in the modern Tory party, but, on the other hand, if one’s ambitions incline more to becoming a big-time gangsta rapper, it’s a goldmine. Don’t blame Jamaican men, though.
After all, who made them homophobic? The “vilification of Jamaican homophobia”, says Decca Aitkenhead, is just an attempt to distract from the real culprit: “It’s a failure to recognise 400 years of Jamaican history, starting with the sodomy of male slaves by their white owners as a means of humiliation.
“Slavery laid the foundations of homophobia,” writes Miss Aitkenhead. “For us to vilify Jamaicans for an attitude of which we were the architects is shameful. Jamaicans weren’t the architects of their ideas about homosexuality; we were.”
I should have known. It’s our fault: yours, mine, the great white Queen’s, for all her shameless attempts to climb aboard the diversity bandwagon.
…
And it always will be. It’s 40 years since Jamaican independence, but in 400 years, if there are any Englishmen left (which is demographically doubtful), Guardian columnists will still be sticking it to them for the psychological damage of colonialism.
….
How heartening to know that, at a time when so many quaint old British traditions are being abolished - foxhunting, free speech, national sovereignty - the traditional British Leftist colonial guilt complex is alive and well. Even with hardly any colonies.

But “multiculturalism” is really a suicide cult conceived by the Western elites not to celebrate all cultures, but to deny their own. And that’s particularly unworthy of the British, whose language, culture and law have been the single greatest force for good in this world.

This isn’t merely a question for the history books, but the issue that underpins all the others facing the country today, not least the European Constitution: at a time when the benefits of the Britannic inheritance are more and more apparent everywhere else, how come Britain has no use for them?”
