Question: Do you think America, and
those nations associated with the West are made up of colonizing expansionists,
intent on exploitation of natural resources and are fine-tuned at loathing
rustic skinned people whose moral principles, code, values do not merit defending?
Does this question not seem absurd? If you were to argue that no one thinks
this way, you would be wide of the mark. Too many people do. And what’s even
more disconcerting, many of these people were born and live in the West. Expressed
in a different way; they have come to loathe their own way of life. Why so?
This thinking is the product of a tenant
or dogma extensively imparted by educators in our schools, especially
post-secondary institutions and many political minded liberal elitists. It’s
known as multiculturalism, the belief that all cultures are equal. Expressed in
a different way; no culture’s morals, art works, system of politics and
government, or literary works are greater or poorer than any other. But is this
true? Let me stir the pot by raising the possibility that some cultures have
contributed more than others and in some instances, much more than others.
Having made this statement, some would accuse me of defiling the principal
dogma of multiculturalism? Perhaps I have!
More recently, President Donald
Trump expressed a similar sentiment in Warsaw: “We write symphonies. We pursue
innovation…We treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech and
free expression…We empower women as pillars of our society and of our success…That
is who we are…Those are the priceless ties that bind us together…as a
civilization.” For this, Trump was disparaged by
multiculturalists. How could he say these things? As if these were unique
qualities to white-dominated nations, instead of universal truths of humanity
across all cultures.
