What about Americanophobic racism? Although there is nothing original—or perhaps because there is nothing original—about the polemics of Ward Churchill, his notorious essay “Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens”, posted the day after September 11, reveals something of how radicalised Americans have come to view their own country. The vividness of Churchill’s writing and readiness to follow his anti-America creed to its logical (or illogical) conclusion is disturbingly instructive. Only an American citizen with an extraordinarily disconsolate view of his homeland could write this about the fate of 3000 murdered compatriots as the site of their horrific killing still smouldered:If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the Little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I’d really be interested in hearing about it.
[D MacCann]As with most things, what happens in America very soon happens in Australia, although in this particular instance I would say that after having read a fair bit of history about Australia, the negative perspective towards the Western origins and dare I say it; 'male, white, middle-aged Australians in particular.........Australia has pioneered in institutionalised antagonism.
However, in my humble opinion, the university's radicalisation merely adds a veneer of (increasingly doubtful) 'respectability' to the age-old envy and desire for dominance that inhabits the left-wing of all as yet un-bowed Western nations.
