The NYT's Narrative of White Racial Self-Contempt

Empowering the Ugliness

By Paul Krugman, Dec. 11 2015 (LINK to article)

"angry whites who make up a large fraction . .  of the G.O.P. "

It seems to me that white people, both in Europe and in America, have every reason to be "angry", not least at the liberal left, which, in overreaction to Jim Crow, Apartheid and, of course, Nazism, has embraced an ideology white racial self-denial and self-contempt.

Is Paul Krugman, like the majority of those who work and write for the NYT, not white himself? Yet he generalises about "angry, xenophobic and racist whites" as if they were a different and despised race, effectively equating them with Nazis.

This is what virtually everyone on the liberal left does, of course, because it is rooted in the ideology they share, so its extremism goes unnoticed. It is, I think, something the Editorial Board itself warns against in a recent editorial, The Price of Fear:

“In the reaction and overreaction to terrorism comes the risk that society will lose its way."

Western society, led by the liberal left, has already lost its way, in comprehensive overreaction to Nazism and its insane racial ideology, which it has gone to the exact but equally extreme opposite of, denying the importance of race altogether, so that now conservative concerns about immigration and the changing racial composition of America that comes with it (from majority white to majority non-white), are demonised and dismissed as racist and xenophobic on a par with Nazism.
