The Blaze today published an article on the decision of First United Church in Oak Park, Illinois, to banish any traces of Whiteness from its Lenten services. Its website was succinct: “Lent 2022: Fasting From Whiteness.” In the forty days in question, apparently, the church will draw exclusively on the traditions of African and Indigenous Americans and indeed any sector of the species not tainted with the cancer of Whiteness.
Those who make such decisions are so blind to the realities of History, so steeped in sentimental nonsense, so consumed by the Neo-Marxist narrative that Human Intelligence, Energy and Commitment are somehow evil inasmuch as they inevitably lead to success [i.e., “oppression” ], that they celebrate the traditions of peoples who clearly failed to achieve on the ludicrous basis of their failures!
I am in no way attempting to demonize the Non-Whites of any Continent, the true liberal [i.e., “conservative”] seeing every person as an Individual rather than through the lens of some stereotype. But the disdain for the West typified by this Illinois church is truly absurd, indeed but another example of a Civilization intent on committing cultural suicide in spite of the fact that any objective reading of its Cultural evolution shows it to be, for all the sins of its people, the most intelligent, the most self-critical, indeed the most evolved in all our species’ history.
