Ego Trip’s Big Book of Racism
(2002)

RATING:100%
FORMAT:Book

May offend Whites

Inevitably any book that lampoons White supremacy is not going to be very popular with Whites – and this work knows it full well. To get around this problem the definition of the term racism is widened to include any comment about anyone’s ethnicity whether derogatory or flattering. This has the effect of watering down the book in the same way that a definition of pornography that includes all sexually explicit material would render the term meaningless.

That aside, this is often side splittingly funny – especially for the intended US audience – and a robust sense of humor is needed throughout. It has acute perception about the way Whites are intentionally racist in the most casual way; while pretending they intended no offence.

This is a ragbag and a miscellany of stuff about the White supremacy of the modern West - Hollywood, video games, trivializing Black experience, stereotyping, cultural appropriation, transactional analysis, etc; making it something of an unedifying slum through the underbelly of White culture:

Hey, see that Black man
Note how gracefully he walks
Throw a rock at him.

Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.
