“What matters to theorists like Thobani is this: she will condemn Third World deaths only if they have been caused by ‘white’ people, but not if those deaths have been caused by Third World people of ‘color’.”
In 2003, before the invasion of Iraq, I was participating in a debate regarding the proposed coming invasion. I had supported my views with facts, and history of the events leading up to WWII, and the failure to enforce international agreements.
There was one zealot whom I could not abide that kept going on and on about the first gulf war and Afghanistan and American Soldiers killing innocents.
I finally became so flabergasted I said in a post; “The truth is, you really don’t care if those people live or die at all, the only thing you really care about is Who it is that kills them.”
I was kicked off of the website for “personal attacks” the next day.
