Guess who's in charge of America?

In terms of an archetypal analysis à la James Hillman ("Haiti, or the psychology of black"), this sofa fraternity could seem of Haiti's light-skin'd elite? Maybe mulatto sc js4135 MWL circumcise + 8420 TW desire; sc circumcised, by law of the knife, no longer philistine chandalas or kuffars as American Japheth may prefer, but Canaanites Phoenicians (cf Malcolmex nickname 'red' in light of shem's tents).

... It's a long way from tip o' nary to genealogy à la Nietzsche and the Old Testament, but it is a beginning, eh? ...

Cf Hegelian night in which all personnel seem tonton macoutes, doubling disc (aton) & bkw not at 'end' 4739 MQTs or bending, 'corner' js4742 MQTsOH.

I still prefer the American Purusha ideal seen by Reggie White, although it is silent on AmerInds and Jews ...

Reggie White's purusha I find appealing because doesn't give only a bad sense for the unifying white man, whole system must collapse ... I mean, what kind of Shadow can a merely vilify'd persona have? An ideally good Shadow?

The group characters White naively attributes are limiting, but critial-theory liberals leave us with this problem, because they insist on a group identity meaning for everyone according to racial group, and gender group, etc, while also demanding that we white males treat women and karmically subaltern males as individuals regardless of the group meanings that leading members of those groups seem to articulate for those groups.

Very subtle verbal footwork is required to both speak expressing a good sense of every minority group meaning but without indicating any sort of stereotyping or any minority group meaning that could suggest that this or that high prestige career path is less likely to be suitable to members of that minority group.

The situation is similar with 'gender': for instance must respect the Gay Pride parades, but on the other hand one must consider gay males serious moral persons with serious moral gay marriage concerns etc in every way.

This is two-step possible, and perhaps indeed obligatory, but it requires considerable finesse -- too much finesse to be expected routinely from "typical white" guys.

Or with feminist project: on the one hand, all career paths with any prestige must be open to women and must encourage girls to enter such careers.** On the other hand, all structures must be thoroughly revised in order to make them suitable for women's experience, "women's ways of knowing" (a feminist principle, believe it or not), and so on.

This double arrangement is possible and possibly juridically obligatory, but obviously it it also a platform by which a guy can be readily found guilty no matter what he does: if he treats female colleagues or co-workers different from his male colleagues or co-workers, he can be sexist; if he treats them the same he can be 'systemically sexist.'

I have never seen a simple or even a complex statement on how a guy can both promote women's and girls' advances into 'non-traditional' career avenues and adjust these avenues and structures by his pre-cognition of which women's ways and essential essence etc to arrange for in these avenues and structures.

I have seen guys do this double requirement (e.g, Bible professors who fluidly improvise and arrange a less foursquare scholarship more interdisciplinary approach to Biblical studies for their female grad students, but without saying or even obliquely indicating that this is what they are doing, since it implies that women are disinclined to serious historically critical scholarship). ...

**This obligatory enculturation implicitly demeans any maternal aspirations in wopmengirls, not to mention any wish to marry well, sc to have a trophy husband by whom one impresses one's sisters, mother, girlfriends, et al -- which seems to me a much more common and perhaps spontaneous reality than 'trophy wife' -- any wish in a guy to show off by having a trophy wife or a soft harem of trophy girlfriends is a vulgarism).

In the same way a white male is supposed to be able to speak uncondescendingly about the contributions of African Americans uncondescendingly and with realness, but without seeming to imply that contributions from African Americans are likely to continue only in the paths that African Americans have hithertoo contributed strongly and creatively to American culture.

Just now I saw a recent memo from the American Justice Department urging American universities to make ever intensify'd efforts in considering 'race' in arriving at diversity, and an example used was "highlighting the artistic accomplishments of Pacific Islanders." This shows "awareness" no doubt, but can the typical white go around saying such things without seeming to restrict expectations of Pacific Islander students. This can be done, but it is very difficult. And one has the task of shifting a Pacific Islander student or faculty from a heritage in artistic accomplishment to an obsession with critical-theory war upon the Man.

It's possible, after all, that a shift from artistic accomplishment to critical-theory is an enormous and disgusting decline -- at least as disgusting as the decline from biblical Christianity to critical-theory post-Christianity.

In any case, In the same way a typical white is supposed to be able to speak uncondescendingly about the contributions of African Americans uncondescendingly and with realness, but without seeming to imply that contributions from African Americans are likely to continue only in the paths that African Americans have hitherto contributed strongly and creatively to American culture.

This is possible, and I see it done all the time and blacks register no scorn that the double presentation is done offensively even by the subtlest whites, but great subtlety is required. It is one thing to demand that Bull Connors be removed from police power, but quite another thing to expect that Connors extol in a real way the real achievements of blacks in American society without creating the impression that blacks are likely to continue to succeed only in the ways in which they already are noteworthy for havingt succeeded in. (The attention to the Trayvon-Zimmerman encounter may have been necessary, but it does continue to not draw attention to the successes that black men have had in ordinary businesses.)

It is not that the new critical theory regime simply dismisses the old regime and replaces it with a complex race and gender caste or class system whose rules one can discover and memorize with a certain amount of effort; the new regime requires tremendous 'emotional intelligence' or 'social intelligence' -- flexible, thinking-on-one's-feet versatility, interpersonal subtlety.

I assume most white males of good will simply fall silent in complex situations, since the new arrangement requires of them an Odyssean versatility that they don't have. This even of smart white guys in academic positions; not every technically accomplish'd white guy is versatile in emotional intelligence.

Reggie White evidently didn't take such gymnastics seriously. He expects us to have a favourable view of his population group, as in return he is willing to have a favourable view of our population group.

His particulars can be faulted, no doubt. But something like his account of American Purusha is needed if Americans' primary identity must be "racial" according to racial group. ...

Leading left-wing etc educated-class America has dismiss'd a Christian identity for America. Old style melting pot fads such as baseball and movies are too weak, or too difference-inducing via racial experiences, cannot provide any meaningful unity principle.

The American dream — 'hard-working families' etc as extol'd by Republican and Democratic politicians — confronts the hard reality that lots of stuff isn't improving (desolate de-populated Detroit, etc; plus the need to interpret blacks as fare more damaged by the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow in 2012 than they were even in 1950). "Progressive" is a narrative theme for blame, not a real agendum.

So we have an America of racially interpreted population groups. If Reggie White's contents for each group aren't to be accepted, then critical theory liberals should come up with some other content, shouldn't they?

According to Amanda Marcotte today, »The number one problem with modern conservatism is that most conservatives are adept at disingenuous rhetoric that allows them to promote classist, sexist and racist ideals without coming right out and saying what they mean.«

I suppose I should know what these "ideals" are. She says that Rick Santorum frequently came close at least to outlining them, but except for the traditionalist agendum of returning to stay-at-home motherhood I never detected an 'ideal' that could be interpreted as sexist (or racist or classist). Maybe there's hints that some population groups aren't working hard enough etc, but are such 'dog whistles' ideals? ...

Has there been any internet comment on the Elders of Zion connection in terms of philistine Going Under (Spike Lee js5602, 8213) providing a monetary settlement (as in west bank land in exchange for shalom) to the Jewish Zimmerman couple or double (js8145) who were accordingly pass'd over for vengeance? ...

Speaking of banks, I see that Japanese call the white man a blank man -- 'haku-jin'.

Not blank or blanch (which, btw, are cognate with the word black) as connected with the Japanese white 'shiro' (noun) 'shiroi' (adj), but blank as in not written on, as in blank ballot (kū-haku no tōhyō), blank slate (haku-shi jōtai), firing blanks (hassha kū-haku).

"Whited sepulchre" apparently is hyō-haku shita haka (?table-white for corpse tomb).

"Confession" is 'haku-jo.' The lunar sacrament of confession is 'koku-haku (black blank'd) no hiseki.'

I see that the Japanese don't say "blank" of cheques (haku chekku), preferring the english term as they pronounce it baranku chekku.

Hegel doesn't treat Japan, or Hawaii, in Sibree's ©1955 Philosophy of History. Stuff begins as if with China and ends with Americas. ... The area of Hiroshima (striped plain? broad[platonic] island?) is call'd Chugoku, the word for China.

In any case, the any new rulers of Amerika Gasshukoku will require a lot of whites or blank cheques to accept karma:

I saw that Derrick Bell in an interview said vis-a-vis the reality that blacks participated in the slave trade that nevertheless it was for whites only (sc no matter when they or their ancestors came to America, whether they own'd slaves, were coal miners, etc) to accept the guilt: "Why do whites have to feel guilty about everything that happened?" Pointing to blacks' involvement "indicates the extent to which there is sort of a search for justifications, for rationalizations, for anything that will get folk off the hook [rather than] to accept responsibility."

Genealogically, then, "black privilege" and "female privilege" means never having to say you're sorry. And regardless of the 'family tree' stuff that the S.S. had to bother with for their own membership, the key genealogy is guilt ('conscience is the call of care') or acceptance of karma inheritance. ... Whites are given as blank cheques. This is a reality to understand, not to jump up and down in indignation about.

Randall Robinson objects that there has been no official that is to say political statement of responsibility and regret (by whites) for slavery and Jim Crow. But this is to say that the obsessive enculturating emphasis on whites' guilt is religious -- religion: preparation of obedient will to power for political rule (Nietzsche, BGE 53, 55, 188; Will to Power 1038)

Hegel obviously must have intended us to consider the priority of Japan -- made conspicuous by his silence on Japan.

But Japan excels in imitation-improvement (on classical China, on modern European colonialism, on Americanism), how can imitators be initiators? Ask Machiavelli, I guess.

js3312 YPhNH 'he will be prepared' (sc 'created' as a meaning of bara, to create -- in the beginning God prepared the heavens and the earth) (from js3302 to turn).

Kojève sees in Japanese essence-free (Sartrean existentist) elevation above Americanism the dawn of a new meaning for man in "snob" statement: there is still noble/base, but the distinction is without connection to life or nature or being. That is, death arrives without transubstantiation by real presence: only earthly bread and no legitimated wine or "sake" [rice wine; from sakayu, to prosper, flourish] (Introduction to the Reading of Hegel, p. 162) as eucharist, the martial sacrament.

Sartrean "Marxism" etc, then, is a snob statement above "Ike" and the Americanism of his personnel. ... Ike's 'master' personnel [Herrnvolk] get zonk'd on providing the ersatz wine of 'esoteric writing' for pre-law undergrads etc, which the 'slave' Selfs cannot openly provide to their self units.
