Everything is Racist
When the aim is to knock the pillars out from under every societal norm, this should come as no surprise.
TIME magazine is being mocked ruthlessly on social media - and rightfully so - for its recent article, "The White Supremacist Origins of Exercise, and 6 Other Surprising Facts about the History of U.S. Physical Fitness."
(The piece is actually an interview, with “exercise historian” Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, author of the forthcoming book Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America’s Exercise Obsession.)
Dr. Gad Saad, for example, professor at Concordia University in Montreal, tweeted tongue-in-cheek, "The only way to fight against the white supremacy roots of exercise is by leading a sedentary life. Say no to exercise as a means of being an ally to people of color."
British rapper Zuby, who is black, chimed in: "Honestly, I want them to keep pumping articles like this out to eviscerate every remaining shred of their credibility and perceived legitimacy. It doesn't anger me at all. It's so goofy I consider it satire."
Indeed. Like much of what happens in our culture today, the TIME headline is indistinguishable from a Babylon Bee parody. Wokeness is a joke.
And yet the neo-Marxists who dominate all our cultural institutions take it deadly seriously. They are relentless in pushing cultural critiques like the one in TIME because they know they can outlast the backlash. They know that because they control education, the news media, social media, and the entertainment field, their messaging will ultimately prevail and the next generation will buy completely into their worldview.
When the aim is to subvert every societal norm and bring society crashing down so that it can be “built back better” into a woke collectivist utopia, we shouldn’t be surprised that the neo-Marxists accuse everything of being racially oppressive or at the very least being rooted in white supremacy. Exercise is racist. Math is racist. A work ethic is racist. The two-parent family is racist. Highways are racist. Farming is racist. Reason itself is racist. Reading to your children is racist. Books attacking racism are racist.
So all of it - every part of the West’s Eurocentric, cis-heteronormative, capitalist, liberal democratic, Judeo-Christian civilization, and the exploitive oppressors responsible for it - must be swept away in the cleansing fire of social justice, so that a world free of racism and sexism and every other form of oppression can finally rise from the ashes.
Their mission is easy to mock, but don’t underestimate or dismiss the zealotry of the true believers.
