THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

We have lived all our lives with this game of Politically Correct Trumps, but nobody has put down in detail exactly what the trumps are.

We all know that Political Correctness says that White Men are Evil and that Non-Whites are lovers of Nature and moral paragons.

Another rule of Political Correctness is "Animals good, People bad." So if man is greedy that is just awful. If an animal is greedy he is just following nature. When people destroy forests it is pure evil. When elephants destroy trees, it just shows how nice they are.

So we know these two rules: Whites Bad, non-Whites Good and People Bad, Animals Good.

But then we run into a case like the mammoths. When it was white men killing them, history declared man killed the mammoth. But if Man killed the mammoth in North America, then those men were non-white.

In this case "Man Bad, Animals Good" runs up against "White Man Bad, Indian Good."

Another rule of Political Correctness is "Poor People good, Rich People Bad."

Political Correctness lives on Guilt, and there is no point in making poor people feel Guilty because you can't get anything out of them. So the Virtuous Poor People are the victims of the Evil Rich.

You can get Guilt money out of the Evil Rich.

But what about a case where a person is a rich member of a minority? Here "White Man Bad, Minority Good" runs into "Rich People Bad."

Another rule of Political Correctness says, "Men are Evil, Women Good." We know that men who make unwelcome advances cause traumas that leave all women psychologically wrecked.

But what if the woman is white and the man is black?

White Bad, Black Good. So isn't it her fault for leading him on?
