Diogenes’ Middle Finger:
If You Don’t Believe Our Culture Has Gone Off The Rails, Well Just Read This:
“Our library collections, because they are written mostly by straight white men, are a physical manifestation of white men ideas taking up all the space in our library stacks. Pause here and think about this.”
Ms Leung, an academic librarian, is unhappy that public libraries in the US, a white-majority culture with a white-majority history, tend to have among other things, lots of books by authors with pale skin, white dudes thinking great thoughts, or as we used to call it, Western Civilization. This, we’re told, is an “interesting mini-eureka moment” that our Queen of Intersectional Rumination feels compelled to share.
Ms. Leung airs her distaste for “white men ideas” – as if they had been uniform across continents and throughout history – while reminiscing about attending a “white AF conference” two years earlier. I was unsure what the “AF” might refer to and searched for some literary or scholarly explanation. It then occurred to me that a “white AF conference” is, to borrow the woke vernacular, a white as fuck conference. Which is how not-at-all-racist academic librarians convey their thoughts, apparently. more here
Funny that this dumb bint wrote her screen in a “white man’s” language. Isn’t she just perpetuating white supremacy by doing so?
AH-SO. Looks like the Asians are getting in on the anti-white male crusade.
“If you don’t like libraries, don’t go there. If you don’t like books, don’t read them.” seem to be fitting.
Her malevolent, intentional ignorance and moral obtuseness is an epidemic these days.
Of course they don’t like Libraries!
Ya can’t push an agenda and re-write history with all those nasty old books hanging around to tell people the truth!
If attacks on whites are bad now just imagine if we were in the minority. This is exactly why whites are inclined not to want minority populations grow to large in this country, they can see the abuse coming. Nobody expects from minorities the kind of welcoming attitudes we’ve shown {with exceptions} to them.
…but if we don’t have libraries, then what carpets will the homeless urinate on?
…it is not surprising that Dems want to get rid of paper books. It’s MUCH easier to rewrite history if its all digitized and YOU control the companies doing the digitizing…
Ain’t Nobody else gonna buy 6 million copies of “Dreams of My Farter”
Take away straight males and you evolve to the obamas. And rosie o’donnell.
Quite a world that would be.
Tell this sexist racist to go — no, better yet: kick his ass.
This is why fascists taking over after a country in chaos kill the ‘intellectuals’ first: the assholes who brought on the chaos.
She so woke!
“I still have some thinking to do around this topic, but curious to hear what others think. I’m less interested in hearing that you don’t buy it, so don’t bother with those types of comments.”
Keep your filthy hands off my books, both the ones I borrow from the public library and especially my own books. Why do I keep hearkening back to Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 when I hear this or Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. These people just want people to be illiterate and dumb as dirt so they can easily control and manipulate them. Words especially written words mean things that they can not allow since it might cause people to think for themselves. I hate book burners and those who would lead us into new Dark Ages if they totally banned books. Maybe I’ll to become a monk in order to preserve the written word for future generations.
Someone show her where the ‘off’ switch is on all books.
This is leading to South Africa and “kill all the whites.”
Professional academics are death to freedom.
They’re the ones who come up with terrible ideas and plans to enslave us, then sit back and let the dumber ones carry out their brain-sick plans. Worse, they never learn when their ideas fail, they just repackage and try to sell them again.
I include the whole panoply of communist “thinkers” in what I refer to as professional academics, starting with Marx and Engels.
