In Britain and much of the Western world the vast majority of people are not racist. This will include people who have told, or laughed at, jokes based on race. These same people will have never done anything to harm another race, and would be revolted to see racial abuse in front of them, instinctively siding with the victim. This has in fact been true in Britain for many generations.

It is a historical fact that US servicemen during WWII were shocked by the British disregard for race and willingness to mingle freely with black or other non-white soldiers. It is also a historical fact that the Empire which is now routinely characterised as exclusively evil and racist was enthusiastically supported, entirely willingly, by generations of non-white and non-British people, so much so that many of them fought and died for it.

Britain has also seen a level of mass immigration and demographic change unprecedented in history. Other nations that have undergone this level of change have either been conquered or subjected to rapid colonisation. With very rare exceptions there has been no violent response to this change, even though entire communities have been radically altered. Despite constant vilification of the British themselves and hideous consequences from some sources of immigration, polling continues to show that the British are one of the least racist populations on the planet and that the most popular policy regarding immigration is one of a fair and sensible level that distinguishes by skills and practical considerations rather than race.

Despite these facts, we find that the British and particularly the English are now routinely subject to demonisation and racism.

They are told that they are ignorant and backwards. They are told that their votes should be ignored. They are barred from employment opportunities on the basis of their race and skin colour. They are told that they are privileged even if they are poor, or the minority where they live, or even homeless.

They are told that any respect for their own history or ancestors is evil. Their great heroes are either ignored or vilified, and lessons are taught focused solely on the crimes of their past rather than the achievements. TV shows of all kinds, from soap operas to historical dramas to documentaries, tell them that they are racially guilty, with the clear implication that they are morally inferior to other races.

Whilst they remain over 80% of the general populace, any realistic instance of them constituting a majority in a given field, occupation or awards category is subject to disgust and horror, as if their mere continuing presence in numbers is a great evil. They are surrounded by advertising that pretends that they already no longer exist, and that this is a very good thing deserving of celebration and joy.

Every single day, seemingly on every single topic, they are lectured by a professional class of well-rewarded race baiters. People like Afua Hirsch make a name for themselves from insulting the British people – insulting the very society within which they have become well-off talking heads.

The British, being such terrible racists, continue to mildly complain about this without in any way impacting the lucrative benefits to be found as a consequence of such a career.

Who are today’s racists?

Who are the people pointing out differences and causing division?

There is a point at which supine inevitably becomes assertive. Is that not exactly what these Z-listers want?
