I’ve never liked identity politics. Maybe you don’t either. But as much as we don’t like it, we are gonna have to deal with it, because it’s becoming more and more of a factor all the time, whether we like it or not.

Jared Taylor and Tree of Logic have a pretty interesting conversation on the topic (and many sub-topics) of race. One of the interesting points made is how every race on earth has a desperation to view (and present) themselves in a positive way–sometimes making incredible leaps of logic to do so.

…EXCEPT Caucasians. White people behave the exact opposite way–making incredible leaps of logic in order to erase any contributions white people have made to civilization.

Of course, this is paralleled in any kind of discussion about the sexes. You can only say good stuff about women; and can only say bad stuff about men. And men (white knights and manginas, that is, who count for 90% of the male population) are the most vocal man-haters.

There are two rising subcultures (with some overlap) which are defying this zeitgeist now. Both of them have problems, but it is what it is.
