White Privilege and the Racism Debate: A British East European point of view
Nebojša Radić
In this country[1] I am regarded as White and therefore, privileged – it seems. People in the streets and on television say that Whites should kneel and apologise.
Really?
How come I find myself in this bizarre situation?
How did I get here?
How did a refugee from war-torn socialist Yugoslavia turned fisherman in the South Pacific become a privileged White male?
Did I miss anything?
Is it something I did?
Something I said?
No, it’s not something I did or said. It has nothing to do with me.
Except that… it has everything to do with me and there is no-one to speak out for me!
So, there you go now, hear my voice.
I was born in Yugoslavia, the most multicultural country in Europe. Through the non-aligned movement, it had many links with third-world countries and we used to call Africans: braća crnci, Black Brothers. I grew up in Belgrade listening to African American blues musicians such as BB King, Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker and Blind Lemon Jefferson, playing basketball to better the likes of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson!
It was only in the late 90s that I noticed that the footballer Edson Arantes do Nascimento better known as Pele was black! And I remember watching him play for the first time in Sweden 1970! It took me thirty years or perhaps, ten years of living in an English-speaking country to think of the great football magician in terms of race.
In the early nineties, many of my countrymen (and women) fled the war. I too found myself in a new setting, in Nelson, New Zealand where a friend of a friend operated a fleet of fishing boats. I learnt the trade and a couple of years later, upon graduation, I could tell ALL the commercial fish species in the South Pacific.
Filling the many forms of the New Zealand immigration service and later of the government, I identified as a Pakeha, the Maori term for white people and, apparently, also for a pig. Pakeha or Caucasian, that was the choice I had. At the same time, for most the Yugoslav immigrants in Aotearoa, I was naš – ours. I was just one of us, ex-Yugoslavs and we all spoke naški – our language. We never bothered (very wisely) to call it Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian or…
Locals struggled to tell us apart, the same as we struggled to tell the English from the Dutch or the Maoris from the Pacific Islanders (NB. the great rugby player, Jonah Lomu was of Tongan origin, an Islander – not a Maori).
While in Nelson, down very South, a good friend of mine Kit Carson, a farmer, woodturner and artist taught me an important lesson. We were barbequing some meat near the Tahunanui beach when Max said that as an Irish-born immigrant, Kit wasn’t a real Kiwi. The already well-aged and proud son of Joyce, Beckett, Heaney and a very long line of Celtic storytelling alchemists stood up from his chair with a drink in his mighty rugged hand and roared: You were born in this country, Max, but I chose to come here out my own free will. I am much more of a New Zealander than you will ever be!
Thus, spoke Kit Carson, Down Under Below, raising his glass to a thunderous – slaintè!
On the day the New York twin towers fell, I left Aotearoa[2] and moved to Britain (this country?). I now live in Cambridge, a multi-cultural city with a peculiar town and gown historical (class, racial?) divide.
For the immigration service and the government here, I am White, the other White, mind you. The official government web page lists those options:
One of the home nations or Irish (Kit Carson!)
Gypsy or Irish Traveller (Tyson Fury, the boxer)
or any other White background.
You can also belong to mixed ethnicities or declare yourself to be Jewish, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Chinese or of any other Asian background. You can be African, Caribbean or of any other Black background. You could be Arab too (Dr Ali Meghji)!
So, all Europeans are other Whites.
Nigel Farage however, the prominent and outspoken British politician, does not complain about his French, Italian or German and not even Greek neighbours. He just does not recommend living next door to a bunch of Romanians!
At the same time, ‘Go home Poles’ graffiti compete with Banksy’s excellent artwork, anti-Russian hyper-hysteria (you don’t really want me to give you any links for this one) and the already metastatic anti-Serbian bias (uh, where shall I start with links…) that I have been exposed to over these 30 years.
Nine in ten of my conversations that started with where are you from originally? and continued with me saying I am from Serbia, ended right there – in embarrassment and silence. A sure sign that my interlocutors were educated on the topic by alphabet soup corporations (CNN, BBC… ESPN, CIA?) rather than history or any other books.
While I do not expect people to have read all the novels by the Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić or seen the films of multiple Palme d’Or winner Emir Kusturica, to have ever found themselves trapped in one of the Marina Abramović arty installations, to have understood the principles of Nikola Tesla’s coil and wireless transmission of electricity or even watched Novak Đoković play tennis, it would be nice if they could make a small mental effort to move beyond the “murderous Serbs” stereotype.
So, the western political correctness pill may pretend to be covering Muslims, Blacks and Jews but it does not cover the others, with special reference to Eastern Europeans.
I can inform you, for instance, that there is no such thing as an “East European accent”. Same as there is no such a thing as a Western European accent[3].
The geographical Eastern Europe features languages that belong to different groups: Finno-Ugric, Greek, Romance, Slavic and Albanian among others. Native speakers of these languages do not and cannot possibly have the same English accents. Again, is there such a thing as a Jewish, African or Muslim accent?
For instance,
- Talking to a woman in a burka you ask leisurely: Oh, is that a Muslim accent that I hear, darling?
- Talking to Shaquille O’Neal during a pick-up basketball game you say: Where does your accent come from? West Africa, perhaps?
- Talking to a rabbi who happen to be dressed as a rabbi: Interesting accent that you have – Semitic isn’t it?
[NB: do NOT try any of these techniques at home]
East European is not an ethnicity. East Europeans as a compact group do not exist linguistically, culturally and religiously. They are no different from Western Europeans in that respect. East European is a prejudiced political, cold war denomination for marginalised (other) white people.
My ancestors fought the Ottoman Turks for centuries not to be enslaved or taken away by the Janissaries. As my name is not Muhammed and I am a Christian, grandad seems to have done well. Now both the descendants and victims of the British Empire slave traders tell me I should apologise. Uh, let me see…
Is racism, as we now know it here, in English, not a construct of Western European maritime imperial nations, of genocide, slave trade and slavery?
Where I come from we learnt about these sinister exploits at school. We were told about what happened to the American Indians, the Aborigines, the Mayas and the Incas, the Africans abducted from their ancestral homes, enslaved and shipped to the new brave world. We knew about the East India Company, the British concentration camps in South Africa, Churchill’s racism and crimes, the utter high-tech barbarism visited upon the civilian populations of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Dresden. This was all common knowledge among people outside the Anglo-Saxon imperial reach.
The British Empire is racist, you now tell me? No kidding.
The American fathers of the exceptional nation were slave owners? Say no more.
The Empire committed atrocities with the ‘excuse’ that their victims were not really human. If they now, suddenly accepted the humanity of the colonised, exploited and murdered peoples, their minds would blow and disintegrate along with all of their cherished ethical, religious principles and civilised posturing.
But let’s go back to our topic, my Eastern European predicament. I am White. Other White but still – sort of, White! To be better represented, I might join forces with the other Asians and the other Africans perhaps? So much for an identity crisis of the Others (capitalised by now, mind you)!
I don’t think I am or ever was privileged in this society or, for that, matter, responsible for racial tensions. I support human rights and equality wholeheartedly. One day, when I return to the Balkans I may lay down and die of shame for what we allowed to happen to my generation and my country in those mountains. I have learnt to deal with my own and with our collective past. It’s a process that brings pain and, I hope, also clarity and hope for a more harmonious future.
So, East Europeans are other Whites. We are not privileged and we often find ourselves at the receiving end of prejudice and intolerance. Do not paint us thus, with the old, stained, black & white brush. There are too many dirty brushes lying around already… and so many wonderful colours.

Privilege, in black and white.
And that particular War on Privilege did not turn out very well for anyone.
Dumb “article’ which misrepresents the entire issue. Pity.
https://youtu.be/urAjuDecBFU
Ah, the problem of immigration. I am also ‘white’ and there’s a check box for me on numerous forms that enquire after my ethicity. But I’m not “White” in an American sense; I’m “white” in an ex-British sense, the product of a mongrel mix of Irish, Scots and even a dab of Jewishness, such was the melting pot of East London back in the day.
(Just for the record, a Scots crofter or an Irish peasant are kind of white but neither group are what I’d call ‘privleged’.)
So, back to the form. Caucasian. But also an immigrant, Except if you say ‘immigrant’ around here you’re automatically assumed to be Latino.
I think I’ll ditch the whole race thing and go back to class. Far more telling — Upstairs or Downstairs?
I’ve skimmed it. I’ve had enought of this projecting and race baiting from the Left to last a lifetime.
Moderater, what happend to the up/down vote buttons?
I hope they’ve gone.
I wrote an e-mail requesting their removal, but it wasn’t delivered for some reason.
They are an unnecessary distraction. Do you write to get approval from others?
I don’t give a shit what others think of my opinions and in my opinion, nor should you.
And downvotes without comment are just trolling.
Our email is on hiatus atm. Just another in the long series of issues needing time we don’t have to resolve. The comment votes are now back.
Thanks!

So you were appropriating black culture from a young age?
were you reading alt right propaganda? most blacks probably dont mind cultural appreciation besides most of them are only black on the surface. lol.
I was mocking the concept of cultural appropriation and Saker’s cuckaliscious virtue signalling.
How about you, Rachel? Ever fucked a black guy, or are you a bigot?
Why would she? Black guys are already fucked.
Virtue signal much?
Why are people so worried about tags like white privilege from leftist nutters? Have they got you so rattled you have to come here and confess your sins and show us otherwise.
The more you give them air the more they will suffocate you.
Judge people if you have to by the content of their character not the color of their skin.
You just come across a needy and weak with this article. Stand up straight with your chin up and don’t pander to nutters that only have labels and no substance.
Let them howl at the moon all they want.
how doe eaten europeans treat brown people? do they take advantage of white privilege when they can? it’s about systems.
“how doe eaten europeans treat brown people?”
To me, this question sounds exactly like “how do the spanish treat donkeys?”
Do “brown” people only exist to be “treated”? Do they have no autonomy or responsibility at all? Your remarks betray your ignorance and your racism
Also, please explain to me how one can “take advantage of white privilege”? This information would be very useful to me.
Pretty ignorant comment by the ‘mouse”
Hungary is extremely insular – an alt right fascist state.
the book the secret relationship between the blacks and the jews
is most interesting
it is either truth or lies
my only issue is the term jew
you see the secret relationship
was with khazars askanazim who
self identify as jews only
most of the oriental many sephardim the old 12 tribers have been snuffed out by magpie and cookoo
even today real jewish tribes from africa are being sterilized with vaccines and vitamin pills in israel
do not believe check out the tel aviv press
all the hues have an issue
it is khazar pirates who are demons
ho hum
I think that depends on the attitude of the immigrant. Some yes, others no.
Actually, there is. Where I live there are many immigrants. Lots have been here long enough to have kids.
Their kids grow up hearing only their parents native accent at home, both in english and mainly their mother tongue.
Yet, their kids speak english with a perfect english accent.
Contrast that to muslims. Here we have 3rd generation muslims who still speak english with an accent that makes them immediately identifiable as such. But of course, they are not insular!
consider the possibility that you’re much too stupid to understand articles such as this.
Ad hominem response I see. What a surprise!
3rd generation Muslims from where? India? Middle East? Africa? Bosnia? Indonesia? There’s no muslin accent you thick piece of sh*t, there’s the accent of the country they come from. Maybe that’s why they’re insular, because the people who look down on them don’t even hold this basic piece of knowledge.
you thick piece of sh*t Thanks for the personal attack! I’m sensing a trend here! There’s no muslin accent Habibi, I do agree with you on that point. I’m yet to meet a piece of fabric that can talk. —- To reiterate, I did not specify the origin of the muslims since they are UK born and bred. Their families were likely from Pakistan originally. I am pointing out that I can immediately tell a muslim from this area from their accent. If you lived here, you would be able to as well. All muslims do not have this accent of course. I do not understand why you get so angry? Because I point out something that is true and you do not like it? Maybe that’s why they’re insular, because the people who look down on them Oh dear.… Read more »
Yeah somehow I knew you’d have something to say about the typo. As for your Muslim girlfriend not being able to marry you, it works in the other direction too. Usually if the man is worth marrying they’ll make the effort to convince their parents that’s the case.
Yeah, sorry about the typo remark, low hanging fruit and all…
But seriously, I am fascinated as to how you justify the double standards? I merely pointed out a fact and your response is to personally insult me.
Then your response to my own personal experience of blatant anti-white racism is again to insult me.
So my pointing out a fact is somehow insulting, yet examples of actual racism against me are seemingly acceptable and even warrant my being attacked by you.
I am genuinely interested in your thought process.
My thought process is as follows:
Brilliant 🙂
Pretty much generalising from your own limited experience huh?
No, not particularly. It’s like that all over the UK
DIVERTED RAGE Be suspicious of protests or political issues advanced by mainstream media news outlets whose raison d’etre is to omit information which would raise political consciousness. Advancing identity politics is similar to stoking sectarian violence. Focusing exclusively on race fragments populations diverting rage away from the social injustice caused by income and wealth inequality. MSNBC or CNN would never allow a commentator to connect the issues of race, class, and US imperialism. News outlets prefer commentators to talk about racism and confederate statues, but not about how Obama destroyed black wealth. “The middle-class Americans saw their wealth decimated by the subprime mortgage debacle, but African-Americans suffered a particularly heavy blow because so much of that population’s wealth was tied up in housing…. Thousands of blacks lost their homes under Obama. “The first black president in American history was a disaster for black wealth.” Affluent blacks like Susan Rice or Kamala Harris can shout… Read more »
Kamala Harris, Slaver: “Harris actually argued that if California released inmates too soon, the state would lose an important source of labor.”
Kamala Harris is a descendent of a slave owner. As her father wrote:
Yes, Kamala Harris sounds like a slave-master–so much for identity politics…..
Divide and rule, Charlotte. That’s what all this is about.The oldest game in the global town. Now newly improved, with added categories, classifications, tick-a-boxes and victim-status compartments. And the folks seem to be loving it…
That’s true but focusing on race distracts from how in March the usual criminals used COVID-19 as a way to transfer trillions to the most wealthy while 40 million lost their jobs…….
Mailman here: “Black” (ie, Bantu-American) professor fired for criticising Black Lives Matter. Clip from Paul Craig Roberts article in Saker Vineyard:

Brilliant post, Vexarb: so sad that he/she had to write that all anonymously, truly saddening.
But heyho, in the final phases of the Roman Empire, there were many centurions who gauged their own eye out, in order to get back home from the extremities of the Roman Reich over-reach. . .
Look for the bare necessities of life. That simple.
Take care, Doc. Keep on mailing.
Best wishes,
Tim
And best wishes to you, Tim. Those Roman centurions remind me of a book called The Climax of Rome: with an oversized Army overstretched to defend an oversized Empire and an oversized Bureaucracy to finance the whole creaking tottering system by overtaxing a continually impoverished middle class. We appear to be witnessing the end of yet another New Rome — the Anglo Zio Capitalist Empire.
The end of the Roman Empire was not pretty: it broke up into “gated estates” – large feudal fiefdoms with a tied peasantry owned by individual War Lords. But these gradually amalgamated to create a series of New Romes, each with its own delightful Life Style and smoothly running Public Convenience for its enlightened bourgeoisie.

It is hardly surprising that these people will react this way for they themselves have done it to others and are now afraid the reverse will happen to them. Talk about Europeans stealing the lands of the Native Americans, Incas, Aborigines and what have you and you’ll begin to understand why this fear of immigrants taking over their homelands. They did it by force, but now they fear it’ll be by demographics.
Young Pharaoh interviews Angela Stanton, running for Congress from Atlanta. A real woman with a real story. I prefer her to the great civil rights leader Nancy Pelosi who had absolutely no idea what the fuck was that multicoloured scarf her marketing people told her to put on for the camera. Talk about white privilege. Off to the guillotine with her!
poor Ms Stanton… doesn’t realize that to Trump she is a piece of worthless meat.
Guess she can overlook the way, in general, he treats, women, minorities, immigrants…
So sad that she sees no alternative
A good article, thank you, Nebojša. I was born of a Spanish mother in a Latin American country. One that is deeply racist: it is common to find job adds asking the dark skinned not to apply; one could easily think that they are broadcasting Scandinavian TV; calling people “indian” is a common insult to which most will not even frown upon, regardless of their skin tone. If there is something resembling white privilege, it exists in Latin-America. But even there, such generalisations are deceitful and, I am afraid, will not bring anything but hatred. It is going to get nasty now that the European (academic) colonisation is giving fruits in the form of vile racial stereotyping and violent rhetoric against the white minority. That, in a country in which 90% of the population is mixed race and in which have 40,000 murders per year. Now, that after… Read more »
“My privilege comes from being born in a loving and supporting family with enough resources to care for my every need. Something which I wish everyone could achieve.”
That just about sums it up.
“The rest is commentary” — Rabbi Hillel of Babylon
Right… “with enough resources to meet my needs”… including to protect me from those who would exploit and harm me simply because they have the power to do so.
Circassion women of the caucasus – were highly prized Slaves, their beauty so greatm Sultans prized them for their harem – and it’s said, that Cosimo Medici had an illigitimate child from a Circassion slave.
“Some went off dearly; fifteen hundred dollars
For one Circassian, a sweet girl, were given,
Warranted virgin. Beauty’s brightest colours
Had decked her out in all the hues of heaven.
Her sale sent home some disappointed bawlers,
Who bade on till the hundreds reached the eleven,
But when the offer went beyond, they knew
‘Twas for the Sultan, and at once withdrew”
Byron – Don Juan
And the slave traders were Jews, though for some strange reason you dont hear about Jewish privilege.

Perhaps because Jewish privilege is subconsciously assumed by now. People don’t bother to mention it.
What the author is missing is that when pink skinned people move to pink occupied racist* regions like the US and UK they get the benies of white supremacy whether they want to acknowledge it or not. So throwing off complicity with racist privilege is pointless. It is meaningless for any human not to take responsibility for the mechanics of over two thousand years of humanity’s colonial pursuits embedded in local law and custom and the Doctrine of Discovery. No matter where one lands on Earth, skin color codes your social and “legal” privileges. In the last 500 years this has been people of color vs white colonizing empire of any origin. Privilege follows pink (“white”) people wherever they go. And people of color everywhere pay the price. It is the existing order and no one can avoid it. This is inescapable. Now institutionalized by capitalism, the Vampire descendant of… Read more »
What abject, immature, paranoid, racist, fascist and dishonest nonsense. Are you a student of critical race theory?
Historically wrong too.
Tear down borders? OK, let’s all pour into Tibet. Vietnam! Tahiti looks nice. How about Australia? Oh, wait, that is ‘stolen’ Indigenous land ‘always was always will be’. Ooh, dilemma.
Nobody is claiming superiority over anybody, except for the insecure who project it on to whites.
If white people are the problem, why do people want to move where they are?
Why not establish your Utopia in Africa, for example? Any whites there now can leave…perhaps those who survive the privilege of the slaughter currently under way in SA. There is some concern that when the racist assholes are all gone, there will be mass starvation, but let’s overlook that minor detail. You can show us all how it’s done! It can be the shining beacon to which all people of the world flock (except white racist assholes) to be looked after by the Nanny state that you set up.
No assholes with privilege to stalk you; we can seal it off from all assholes, forever.
Except maybe the Chinese imperialist assholes…do they count, or only people with pink skin?
Enjoy!
They could call it Wakanda.
Sorry, author was too gentle — did not touch the sickest of all — you see your race did not figure in European consciousness when words “slave” became words in German , French and English. It was my ETHNICITY , Slavic — that gave Europeans the word for trading humans. Untold millions were sold to European markets, Ottoman empire and Middle East. The slaves were chained to Venetian galleys, they were used to have kids practice killing people, and abused in unspeakable manner. And the money was made by well known wealthy families that are still living of that wealth. That slavery ended iy by the end of 18th century when Catherine the Great of Russia ended Ottoman rule in Crimea. Some are STILL seeking revenge — Russophobia was not born yesterday. Have grievances — stand in line.
‘East European is not an ethnicity.’ It is if one is being polite, Professor Radić, at least in my English South-East-Coast town. You see, we have a biggish population of Czech and Slovak Gipsies here. And it is definitely rude to say that someone is a Gipsy, unless that person is an English or Irish Gipsy who has to self-distinguish thus because he looks like the rest of the English population. And it does not do to conflate the Irish/English Gipsies and the ‘East Europeans’; the former would object vehemently. Truly-ruly. 🙂
This feeds into the racism meme of mainstream.
There are some people that are racist both black brown and white skinned.
Ignorance doesn’t care what color your skin is, its irrelevant we need to stop playing the “identity politics” in which we all loose .
We are all human beings .
We are taught ” otherness” but good news it can be unlearned.
‘We are taught ” otherness” but good news it can be unlearned.’

In a nation where the majority are X, by definition the vast majority of X will be at the bottom of the power pyramid, and have ZERO societal ‘privilege’. Minorities within that nation may well be either discriminated against OR given power simply for being members of that group. The majority experiences NORMALITY. This normality can be contrasted with normalities in other nations, for the normality will be relative on a global scale- however differences are most unlikely to be the ‘fault’ of individuals as individuals. Culture- a dominant factor that can effect a group for hundreds (and even thousands) of years – has the biggest impact of the lives of the masses. But the majority are controlled by PSY-OPS. Calling the majority this, that or the other is a common way to coerce a population for short or mid term goals. The article talks about the… Read more »

Unfortunately grandad’s ancestor didn’t fare so well, as the reason the author declares him/herself a Christian is because their ancestors’ native spirituality was violently destroyed and replaced with a domination program (backed by the Roman Empire) imported from the Middle East… essentially the same program the Janissaries would have been following… and the same program that led to the more recent genocides in Eastern Europe.

Well the “Brit” part of the word “Britain” is probably from the Hebrew language and there’s a rock supposedly from the imaginary Temple of Solomon under the Queen’s arse!
Privilege is something only a small minority of people have. That is the very definition of the word, and that is what’s always the actual case. Where I come from ‘white’ people are the majority, but very few of us have privilege. There are a few people — and not all of them are white — who can be said to be privileged, and we know who they are and what their privileges are, and these privileges are, in the interest of fairness, something that can be taken away from them. So if you call all white people privileged you are threatening them, and people of any skin tone don’t respond well to threats. What there is, instead of white privilege, is black underprivilege. Blacks are an underprivileged minority. I will continue to do everything I can to end black underprivilege. But turning the argument on its head is… Read more »
The CIA has been stirring the pot for decades 😉 It is not unreasonable to lay much of the responsibility at its door. Gloria Steinem [see Black Feminism, the CIA and Gloria Steinem] has acknowledged working effectively as their agent – the feminist group Redstockings outed her as early as 1975. Leading the student and feminist movement by the nose, and much of the anti-war movement (Jane Fonda is not above suspicion), with pliant academics in place, it would not have been hard to influence the field of gender/grievance studies. One study presented evidence, for example, that the MFA production line of novelists began with funding from the CIA or associated foundations. Since 2016 the agency’s been more open about courses – CIA launches Signature School Program at The University of New Mexico. Influence of education was first exposed by the Reece Committee into Tax-Exempt Foundations 1952-54 which Norman Dodd… Read more »
Actually, what you say about ‘black’ experience is true and false at the SAME time. Any ‘black’ person who is not stupid and ambitious has an advantage over his/her ‘white’ counterpart because of active POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION systems in almost every ‘white’ first world nation. So here the ‘black’ person has an unfair advantage. However, the vast majority of ‘black’ people experince life via a dominant ‘black’ ‘culture’- and the ‘black culture’ provides an inferior experience in many ways to the ‘white’ ‘culture’ experinced by the majority. The ‘black culture’ is NOT imposed by ‘whitey’ – culture is far more complicated than that, and culture is the major part of NURTURE in ‘nature vs nurture’. Indeed a particular ‘culture’ can last hundreds or thousands of years- being a complex emergent property of a system that feeds back into the system reinforcing itself. Any individual with a good enough… Read more »
‘White guilt’ will not get the ‘black’ kids that hate reading and love ‘sports’ to reverse their position. It won’t persuade the ‘gang bangers’ to give up the easy money that ‘street crime’ provides Yet another instance of The Chicken vs The Egg. Do black kids prefer sports to reading and street crime to other endeavors BECAUSE they’re black? or BECAUSE they see no future for themselves pursuing white enterprises? I suspect it’s the latter – although, for that matter, most white kids seem also to hate reading (except for Tech Manuals). Along those same lines, there’s a wonderful documentary called “The Canary Effect” which presents an alternative history of the Native American experience. Native American kids were forcibly taken from their families and schooled in the white man’s ways. But somehow never quite made the grade. Can’t imagine why.

Whites are least privileged. White, straight males, have no societal privilege at all. We got anti-privilege.
When morons say privilege they mean something else. They mean white men are privileged cos more white men own and run shit. Now if you’re saying ‘white men’ are privileged cos of this fact you’re implying that white men are superior.
Those screaming wacist are the wacists.
there was an interesting italian who went to hungary and believed there was an ancient european culture. he said it was more feminine and traced it in symbols he said still survived. he called the invasive culture indo europeans. you might find pdfs associated with https://michelangelonaddeo.com
i quite liked it like there was the mother isten and i could see symbols all over. there was the godess maya in greece who was the pig goddess. i was watching princess mononoke and it had pigs in it. they said it was big in japan but got suppressed in favour of titanic. lol
A ‘feminine’ culture would not survive and thrive without masculine protection, or some kind of geographic protection that would not exist today.
it is the more masculine culture that is destructive. it does not have anything to do with your feelings about your gender. nobody is putting males down by calling opression masculine. if anything they tend to be more feminine than females.
Oh please. The way fourth wave feminism is intent on recycling 19th century paternalistic memes about women as angels and men as beasts is just pathetic and totally anti-feminist
Your response appears to have nothing to do with my comment.
Feminism, female power etc is artificial. It only exists because men handed it to you. All that destruction you cite paved the path to this very platform you’re spouting off on.
One of my neighbors has said she’s tired of being called “privileged.” Another thing she’s tired of is blacks taking over our condo community.
Please – please oh please oh please – someone who sees this “White Privilege” thing as a scam please resolve that contradiction for me. Please! Before my head explodes trying to wrap around it.
Current BLM slogans are being authored by white people. Scam.
If so, then that’s why so many blacks refuse to endorse BLM. They’ve seen time and again what happens to themselves and their aspiration whenever they accept “help” from whites. They simply become playthings for yet another white agenda.

The problem is white northern european/ american / zionist supremacist culture, not the white race as a whole. Such as the “monument defenders” and apologists for white supremacy and the British Empire’s criminals, who are too arrogant to ever admit to being wrong, or not being the best, let alone being criminal and barbaric. Have you ever seen a British public school boy sincerely admit to being wrong and apologising? I doubt it , and if you have they were very likely faking it and laughing at you. North “American Indians” said “white man speaks with forked tongue” but they had only met a certain kind of white man. In Europe (at least): What makes the race thing ridiculous now is the spectacle of both “Aryan” white supremacists and Eastern European “Jews” who think they’re somehow racially different from, and superior to, each other … Somehow “jews” and… Read more »

Er- there is NO SUCH THING as the ‘white race’- There is the Human Race, where we all share- to a remarkable degree- the exact same genetic biology. One race with, compared to most other species, very little variation, individual to individual. Or are you so foolish, you think cats with different coats are different types of animal? What there most certainly are, and here we are distinct form all other animals, are different CULTURES. A Human culture is an emergent property of shared Human experiences, and once established can last many centuries or even thousands of years. The judaic mind virus you refer to is older, and was stoled by those that call themselves members of one of the three main judaic tribes today. It originates in Egypt, and even the key ‘facts’ about the christian branch were all stolen from much older egyptian traditions. What… Read more »
It would be interesting to know Nebojša Radić view on a war that destroyed Yugoslavia a previously successful economy. Tony Blare bombed it on Christmas day.

Blair didn’t care about Yugoslavia, but about kicking off his FABIAN new world order (the Guardian newspaper is an official fabian mouthpiece). Blair’s Kosovo atrocity was all about getting America to engage in its first major GROUND WAR since Vietnam. And in this regard, Blair utterly failed, for the USA was so scared of soviet weapon systems (especially over the horizon anti-helicopter missile systems, for helicopter support was an essential part of a ground invasion) it never went beyond bombing. Blair’s failure in Kosovo led directly to Blair’s 911 false flag, which was successful beyond Blair’s wildest dreams. Your own experience of NOT having ‘white privilege’ is a universal truth of any atom at the bottom of the power pyramid, where the atom is a member of the dominant population. But it is a current fabian psy-op to say otherwise, and to educate your kids in Blair’s academy… Read more »
Endless discussions of Racism is how the US neo-liberal corporate machine keeps people from talking about inequality and poverty. It has been going on for years with the help of the media. Because the discussion of race will not result in any meaningful resolution of fundamental economic and social injustice and inequality in the USA.
Even if racial equality is achieved in some form, the wealthy Washington elites will be happy, because it means the economic resources allocated to the exploited working underdogs, black or white, will not grow.
The working poor will share the same portion of the pie more evenly and equal wages will never come out of corporate profits, because a battle for equality or redistribution of wealth, has NOT been fought. Only fighting for economic rights will ultimately solve the problems of black poverty.
It sounds to me like what you’re saying is that in order for poor working whites to retain their mouse’s share of the pie, poor working blacks must continue receiving their gnat’s share of the pie. I realize you’re saying all workers should receive a much larger share of the pie; but until they demand it – which apparently they won’t – the share will remain small. So the more blacks get, the less whites will get. Which of course makes whites “privileged” vis-a-vis blacks, since they’re the majority.
Total and utter DRIBBLE (and the upvotes prove how much attention certain forces are now paying to this website) For thousands of years the experience of the masses at the bottom of the power pyramids in all nations was constant- short lives and absolute poverty. British thinkers created the entire NEW system that was to become the USA to change this pattern. In the beginning, a mass of ORDINARY Humans moved to America in quite mind blowing numbers. The standard of living for ordinary people in America started to arc upwards at an historic rate. By the time the 20th Century began, America was a nation apart- a phenomenon like nothing Humanity had ever witnessed. For sure, one could be a MORON in the USA, and live in the crappiest circumstances – but for people with one functioning brain cell, America was truly the land of opportunity. … Read more »
”The issue with the USA is not ‘poverty’ ”
The US has the worst inequality, worst social mobility, most child poverty, highest maternal death rate in child birth, etc….. in the developed world. GDP makes it one of the richest country’s in the world but wealth distribution makes most of the population some of the poorest in the developed world, With a national life expectancy worst than the poorest areas of Europe.
In a country where people don’t have access to full health care and the second biggest cause of bankruptcy is medical bills, then I think you are in denial. And the population do not support the killing machine, they are forced to take part of live in misery, with little hope of an education or training. You seem to be high on an intelligence that you just don’t posses.
Where I live the core of the BLM “movement” is situated in an all white enclave of sanctimonious white liberals. The blacks that are involved in BLM are all bourgeoisie blacks. The radical blacks have nothing to do with it and the poor of any color are nowhere to be seen. In that neighborhood property values are at around $250,000-$300,000. As they have held rallies in the town center the ratio is about 80% whites. My son attended the largest rally a few weeks back. A 50ish white woman came after him, not up to him, and demanded he wear a mask. He politely refused and began walking away- she followed him and harassed him demanding he wear a mask. He;s not so confrontational like his father so he left. He would like to support “the cause” in general- most if his friends are black and poor. None of… Read more »
The hypocrisy is very real. It is a matter of fact that there is no such thing as child labour free chocolate. Chocolate is produced by the exploitation of child labour, some slavery, some forced, all of it brutal and dangerous. Yet the people demanding the destruction of statutes of long dead people who exploited slave labour clearly could not care less about actually existing slavery in the contemporary world.
Boycott chocolate.
How many companies funding BLM are also having black prison inmates produce their products at 30 cents an hour?
Over 50 prominent American corporations have been exposed for using prison laborers to reduce their payroll costs over the last several years. Prior to 2016, organic grocery giant Whole Foods sold a $12-a-pound bag of tilapia that was labeled “from sustainable American family farms.” This family farm was actually Colorado prisoners making 74 cents a day or less. And their fancy goat cheese? The goats and milk were produced by the same prisoners. Whole Foods saved money and the Colorado Department of Corrections likely made a bundle. Some McDonald’s crew member uniforms are made by prisoners making even less money—a lot less—than the ones who wear the uniforms. Walmart has been known to buy produce from prison-run gardens. Female inmates in South Carolina have in the past sewn intimate apparel for Victoria’s Secret. In fact, whistleblowing inmates were placed in solitary confinement when they exposed that they had been told… Read more »

So the radical blacks have nothing to do with BLM, then what are they doing ? what makes them radical?
BLM is a classic “straw-man” as are white supremacists organizations in the main , constructed and supported by the powers that be for the most part . When a real revolution or an actual killer pandemic happens you and I will be the last to know that it is actually occurring..
“real revolution”- they happen ALL the time- but are never ever the result of the drones at the bottom taking action for themselves- and never will be. The people at the top of the power pyramid will always control the drones at the bottom with psy-ops. What matters is the MOTIVE. When the top is entirely evil (as is the case today), we are all effed. The fabian project that changed the world was originally apparently ‘good’ despite warning signs. It was notably anti-racist, anti-sexist, and focused on raising the standard of living for the vast majority. As a result of the fabian project, the Human Race made more progress in a century than during the previous million years. Because drones are too stupid to have a greater awareness of species history, this FACT flies over even the heads of almost everyone here, as they dribble about this… Read more »
The true answer for any Human is to escape from culture- to see culture for what it is, and to respond by loving one’s own individualism. The problem with this philosophy is that it is ALPHA thinking, and very few people are alphas- most people are drones, and in my experience actual love being drones. BLM is yet another psy-op aimed at certain classes of drone. For this reason alone there are prominant black voices today (alphas) noisily rejecting BLM. But when an alpha tells a drone to be less of a drone, things don’t tend to go well. Here’s the thing- at a good time in history, there are good and bad alphas at the top fighting each other, leading to the satanic evil being mostly neutralised, and the drones at the bottom get a mostly helpful message. But at a bad time in history (now),… Read more »
I want to discover the mindset that would conjure the guns-for-drugs, CIA-linked, cocaine-importing, inner-city crack trade on the one side – and on the other a privatized prison industry and a three-strikes law to supply the inmates. And then turn those inmates into slave labor for industry. Who would bring home the Cold War policy of containment? Imposing on a domestic population the strategy of neutralizing or exterminating political leaders, flooding it with illicit narcotics, strategies tending to depopulation, arming war lords and promoting gang warfare. In the economic sphere, pushing a workforce into dead-end jobs, siphoning off talent or diverting brains into circuses, entertainment or sport, again entertainment or sport, entertainment or sport… …. and creating economic dependence (on food or debt) and then suddenly pulling the plug, in Richard Nixon’s words, making the economy scream.

There is no such thing as race, but there is racism.
Actually NO- racism is NOT a natural thought process of ordinary people. Racism is a PSY-OP, a method used by forces higher up in the power pyramid to modify the behaviour of people below. Modern ‘racism’ was a judaic invention of the 19th century, when scientific enlightenment meant the Old Testament (which stated that the judaic god made ‘black’ Humans as slaves) was no longer working well in court. Judaic pseudo scientists in the USA worked in leading universities in major projects designed to ‘prove’ ‘black’ Humans were inferior ‘by design’. This was the birth of modern racism, that became eugenics- the dominant scientific philosophy to this day in the USA. So ‘racism’ is a mind virus exploited by the dominant judaic power cult. In America it is used to ensure the massive ‘minority’ never challenges the political clout of the TINY power cult minority. Where liars… Read more »

Pākehā has no relation to pig whatsoever. I don’t know where the writer got that impression.
https://teara.govt.nz/en/1966/maori-pakeha-pakeha-maori/page-2
It’s controversial, yes. That’s why I say ‘apparently’.
However, back then and there in Nelson in the early 90s, all fishermen (Maori, Islanders and White) understood Pakeha to mean both white man and pig. The story I heard about it was that White people brought pigs whose meat the locals appreciated very much. Hence white man / pig. It never felt as a derogatory term, though.
So, regardless of the etymology, the belief and the story are out there.
Are you talking about the 1990’s or 1790’s? I was only born last century, but I’ve never heard anyone confuse pākehā with poaka, an obviously transliteration of pork, which was just one of many greatly appreciated trade items introduced by Europeans. To follow that same logic you might as well surmise that pākehā probably meant potato. But that would be silly, as well as disingenuous.
HHhmm I’m a middle aged born and bred Kiwi. I’ve long understood, rightly or wrongly, that a possible literal definition/origin of the word Pākehā was pig. This has never bothered me. Whatever it’s origins it’s the Maori word for a European – simple as that.
I think it is very important to remain careful and not react from one or the other side with unconsidered emotion. There is a profound divisive wedge being drawn between peoples, the more the focus is on divisions, the more successful the “divide and rule” policy will be. Already in the last few years, the division between left and right has torn populations apart, while distorting the very meaning of what the “left” or the “right” actually stands for, as well as pushing people under labels: none of us are either this or that. The question of race is also being slowly distorted. Race is a superficial physical aspect due to adaptation to external environmental factors, and which then people inherit generation after generation. There is among non-Westerners certainly a deep feeling of anger that has built up over generations. Colonialism, unlike other forms of domination, destroyed the very… Read more »
I quite concur, great comment, thank you.
What is the question to which you refer?
Basically scientific statements are in effect of various degrees of uncertainty. Reducing this uncertainty to an amenable form, it means they should have at least 3 truth” value: true, false and uncertain (i.e. neither true nor false). However the mathematical language used has 2 truth values: either something is true or something is false. Hence to render uncertainty, the theory of probability has been developed. However as soon as you try to apply probability, you are making extremely strong assumptions of one type or other, so strong that they may be quite unrealistic. Now, logicians first in ancient India did develop some basic multi-valued logic (4-valued by the Buddhist school and 7-valued by the Jain one), and since the last century, modern logicians have evolved elaborated multi-valued logic. However, mathematicians have never tried to develop any mathematics founded on more than second order logic. All the mathematics we have can… Read more »

WHILE the Government were employed in clearing the ground for the Adventurers and Soldiers (the English capitalists of that day), by making the nobility and gentry yield up their ancient inheritances, and withdraw to Connaught, “where they could wish the whole nation,”* they had agents actively employed through Ireland, seizing women, orphans, and the destitute to be transported to Barbadoes and the English Plantations in America. It was a measure beneficial to Ireland, which was thus relieved of a population that might trouble the planters; it was a benefit to the people removed, who might thus be made English and Christians; t and a great benefit to the West India sugar planters, who… Read more »

Now every 3 years the Dutch Caribbean islands were visited by the Dutch Queen, who btw is very popular on these islands, and I was happy enough that the queen visited my school!

Racism against blacks is the direct consequence of European/American slavery. Slavery that existed for thousands of years before the birth of America wasn’t a racial construct. I believe the word ‘slave’ originates from the word ‘slav’ as most slaves up to the middle ages came from eastern Europe, think Roman Empire. The modern slave in America replaced bonded English and Irishmen when the colony outgrew the numbers of poor people willing/forced to submit to 7 years of service. Divide and conquer was instituted and with the coming of science, alleged genetic disparity between whites and blacks was born. Racism was born out of Imperialist conquest and later, the need to control the large numbers of blacks, Irish and even larger number of poor whites. In my opinion, the only way to defeat it is through class-struggle and solidarity. At the moment, division between blacks and whites is assured, political correctness,… Read more »
Michael A Hoffman, ‘They Were White and They Were Slaves’
According to Hoffman indentured servitude was pretty much a euphemism and legal nicety for slavery. But whites had no market value unlike the later black slaves, who were consequently better treated. The word ‘kidnapping’ came from this period.
