Well, huh.  That sounds just like Western Civilization, to me.  So, if that's 'white' culture, what exactly is 'black' culture?

The businessman, perplexed, then asks the fisherman “If you’re the best, why don’t you stay out longer and catch more fish? What do you do the rest of the day?”

The fisherman replied “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, spend quality time with my wife, and every evening we stroll into the village to drink wine and play guitar with our friends. I have a full and happy life.”

The businessman scoffed, “I am successful CEO and have a talent for spotting business opportunities. I can help you be more successful. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats with many fishermen. Instead of selling your catch to just your friends, you can scale to sell fish to thousands. You could leave this small coastal fishing village and move to the big city, where you can oversee your growing empire.”

The fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?”

Straw man argument.

Cute parable, but hardly universal.  The premise is the businessman's measure of success is somehow the universal goal (of whites).

The fisherman is working hard, everyday, to provide for his family.
He is a rugged individual, number 1, "The Best Fisherman in the Village".
He has a wife and kids, he is the bread winner.

"Systemic racism" only makes sense if you buy into the Marxist dialectic.  Under the Marxist dialectic, there is no such thing as personal responsibility or even personal morality.  Everything is based on being an oppressor or oppressed.  If you are an evil white male "oppressor" then everything you do is bad, even having a normal family.  If you are "oppressed" then everything bad that happens to you is due to something the "oppressors" did.

This is why Marxism always results in a mountain of skulls.  Everyone in gulag deserves to be there because they are from the "bad" group.  The people killing them are blameless because they are part of the "good" group.

Marxists hate the traditional nuclear family.
View Quote


It’s a continuation of the destruction of the multi-generational family.

For millennia the multi-generational family was the core structure.  This went beyond the nuclear family concept and included the grandparents (and occasionally great grandparents) in the family structure.

Grandparents provide roots for the family, passing on traditional values, adding workforce for home tasks and acting as high value trusted babysitters for when mother and father both have things to get done.  

This structure laid deep cultural foundations and provided for great societal stability.  This began to break down right around the 1930s-1950s.  Marxism needs chaos and a rootless, drifting society to take hold.

If those traits were so universal, there'd be a lot more cultures like ours in the world. One of the reason white, Western, European, Chrisrtian, culture is the most successful in the history of man is because our values were/are not unique.

And yet anyone can become a Christian.

Values are learned.

Many others have found success besides White Europeans using that formula.

It's the Culture that determines it's own success. Or it's eventual collapse. We took a wrong turn for a Leftist dream of utopianism.

Everyone would be a lot better off if rather than trying to justify some made up universal traits that they think their culture exhibits, they look for qualities that result in success and try to emulate them.


For example, Asians make more than white people in the US. Make sure your kids have a good work ethic and study math.

The problem with the story, is literally nobody is saying someone who is happy working hour a day and can provide for their family is doing something wrong.

On the other hand, there are a shit ton of people who work an hour a day, can't provide for their family, and want to steal everything that the businessman has.

I got that.

But there's a huge difference between upper middle class (comfortable) and multi-millionaire (fuck you money).

I agree success is defined by the individual.
I disagree the "White Definition of Success" is Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk.
As if you haven't attained that, you're not successful.

I use Somalia because I've been there and every time I see the typical "America sucks" mentality, it just comes to mind, that's all.

And yes, I know of how Liberia was formed.  Also look at the history of Haiti.  Something to note, it was kicked around the idea of rounding up the former slaves and return them the same way they were brought over.  Most intended for Liberia.  That never came about, but right after the US civil war a lot of Chinese were brought over to work on rail road and telegraph wire construction. And subsequently, we deported them as out very first immigration enforcement action.  In fact, we had a sole inspector patrol all of the border from El Paso to San Diego and his sole job was to track down Chinese in the 1880's.

That story has the most disingenuous ending.

The businessman retires to a nice clean village, rich and with all the luxuries.   And will have the resources for healthcare and travel when he wants.

The fisherman is stuck in the same 3rd world shithole,  has no resources for luxuries,  healthcare and travel AND will have to continue to fish until dead.

Of course, a wealthy educated white woman came up with this BS. The list should be titled "How to be successful, no matter what race". But being smart, efficient, hardworking....is all racist.

Most black people think "whiteness" consists of going to the bank and being handed a bunch of cash (for being white) and meeting with local police to encourage them to harass black people to keep them down.

I had wondered why the fuck BLM had a hardon for destroying the nuclear family. Well derr, it's a fundamental tenet of Marxism and also one of the key reasons why "white peepo" are world dominant.

In one of Tucker Carlson's long (1hour plus) speeches/ Q&A, I don't remember which one - he said that when people do what she is doing?
The "I'm apologizing for MY identity group" backflips, what they're really saying? "Please eat me last."

That story has the most disingenuous ending.

The businessman retires to a nice clean village, rich and with all the luxuries.   And will have the resources for healthcare and travel when he wants.

The fisherman is stuck in the same 3rd world shithole,  has no resources for luxuries,  healthcare and travel AND will have to continue to fish until dead.

I think the point of the parable is the fisherman lived and enjoyed his life along the way, the businessman waited until the end.
So even if the fisherman dies at a younger age, he lived a fuller life.

But reality is a continuum between those two extremes.

Of course, a wealthy educated white woman came up with this BS. The list should be titled "How to be successful, no matter what race". But being smart, efficient, hardworking....is all racist.

Most black people think "whiteness" consists of going to the bank and being handed a bunch of cash (for being white) and meeting with local police to encourage them to harass black people to keep them down.

I had wondered why the fuck BLM had a hardon for destroying the nuclear family. Well derr, it's a fundamental tenet of Marxism and also one of the key reasons why "white peepo" are world dominant.

Blacks had strong nuclear families, extended families and community centers of worship until the welfare state (by design) killed off the family and replaced the wage earning father.

.aybe in the 1950's. LOL!

Just an FYI for them, White women go to college,  have careers,  and frequently earn as much or more than men. And if the husband is in charge it's frequently because the wife gives him permission to be.

Government intervention. Part of the equality equation. Saturation of .gov, academia, non-profits,and so on jobs. Not saying they aren't equally capable in some jobs, but the government intervention is about incentivizing an agenda.  Competence vs. corruption. It's not about competence now as much as it is about a social experiment.

Government intervention.

Not saying it's all bad. Just the stuff that goes looking to fix stuff and create utopia. Assumes a religious nature.. Not the protect your rights, provide basic community services (police, fire, sanitation, water, etc) minimalist government stuff but the one that creates a political class of government workers....

In my experience Tucker is incorrect in his assertion.

Back around ten-ish years ago in my late 20's I dated a woman who had moved to my area to go to a local college and obtain a PhD in Education.  She was white, but her step-father that raised her was black.  The views that she expressed were exactly in-line with what this Professor appears to believe.  She wasn't afraid of being eaten, and in-fact seemed to believe she was fighting the good fight.  She obtained her PhD in the end and is now working at a major university instructing the next generation of educators.  She's not educating them to believe they'll be the last on the trains, but that they need to fight this ideological battle for the good of all.

From the context of the story it took 15 to 20 years.

Boy.  Reading through that infographic, if you got rid of the racial mention, it would make an awfully good book on how to achieve success.

Where is the comparable "aspects and assumptions" list for Black Culture. I really want to see that one.
