THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

Jamaica just celebrated the fortieth anniversary of its independence from the United Kingdom. Compared to African countries, Jamaica has done a great job since it ceased to be British colony.

So the biggest newspaper in Jamaica took a poll. It asked Jamaicans what they thought of independence. The result caused an uproar.

Only FIFTEEN PERCENT of Jamaicans thought independence was a good idea. FIFTY-THREE percent said Jamaica should have remained a colony of the UK!

There will be no more polls like that in Jamaica.

Nobody cares what blacks think, in Jamaica or anywhere else.

Liberals are perfectly right when they say there is an immovable racism at the basis of Western thought. But no liberal professor will let anybody discuss what that racism REALLY is.

Liberal professors are always telling students how evil everybody is EXCEPT THE "INTELLECTUALS," which is what professors call themselves. All that leftist doctrine we pay them to teach boils down to "professors should rule the world."

So let's get real. There IS racism at the base of Western thought. But that racism includes everybody, even the Holy Liberal Professors. Real Western racism is so deep that no liberal would recognize it. No liberal professor can realize that his attitude to the Jamaica poll is as racist as that of any Klansman.

So when only 15% of Jamaicans say they like independence and 53% say they don't, the response from the political left is the same as it would be from any other slaveholder

"Those niggers don't know what's good for them."
