This is the best article I have read in a long time.

Paul Finlayson writes:

“BLM, Drake, and the infantilizers of every hue tell people what they want to hear. It presses applause buttons, sells clicks, and builds careers. But it ruins lives. A civilisation cannot survive on excuses. It cannot endure infantilization. Subcultures must confront their own sins—or perish by them.”

My area of obsession is native victimhood. White colonizers supposedly did monstrous things to them, like offering free education. My nephew died from fentanyl sold by an indigenous pusher. But no media told his story. If they did, it would be the pusher is blameless as his great grandmother was at residential school for a year.

Sadly, Blacks (BIPOC) do not hold the monopoly on the experience of racism. It is a human trait that civilised societies and individuals must work to temper.

In this well-argued piece you align yourself with the views of Charlie Kirk, of blessed memory, who cogently argued that DEI, victimhood ideology and cultural differences, especially the huge drop in two parent families, for which you provided a most telling graphic, are today’s greatest causes of Black hardship.

Perhaps it temporarily feels good to blame others for one’s problems. But like any feel good drug, grievances become insatiable, replacing personal responsibility to act in one’s own best interests.
