It won't help them in any way, save perhaps aesthetically, but it's a noble cause. What I'm getting at is I'd love to see a raging Dick Cheney shoot Newt Gingrich in the face. Later, they could kiss and make up and go on speaking tours in undisclosed locations, where they'd recount the legend of Virginia Dare for the edification of their undisclosed location-dwelling friends.

for a long time in the rich west a soft-hearted vision of cultures among the global poor had them as an alternative to institutionalized vandalism.

so it’s interesting, right, that as the industrial revolution’s rewards really start distributing among the whole (much larger) population, the downsides are getting downright biblical.

maybe this means that history will remember whites as planetary criminals, because the story, driven by geography and technology to an extent, is turning toward a more equal society “cleaning up the white mess.”

important to remember that very white skin is a legacy of diet and location. so it’s a marker of early assumptions that way outgrew available space, over thousands of years. will it stay that way? i don’t think people are that superstitious anymore…?
