This article reflects a peculiar joining at the hip of the Left's ideas of race and gender.
The Left has a peculiar mythos of "androgynic
tribalism", that androgyny is the authentic human condition and that cultural
ideas delineating men from women, and universal standards of right and wrong
and good and evil, are the result a non-authentic ideas imposed on humanity.
For the Left, to be "white" has little to do with skin color and much to do with one's participation and agreement with Christendom, which is the legal, social and political expression of Christianity and, in the West, those pre-Christian ideals of ancient Greece and Rome that are Bible-adjacent, consistent with Biblical Natural Law.
"Racism" is a term that the Left has plundered from its meaning within Christendom and re-defined it to mean that which supports Christendom in contra to the Left. "Racism" to the Left is effectively equivalent to "evil" within Christendom and to be "white" is by definition to be "racist". The Left understands that it is playing with the confusion between two diametrically opposed concepts of racial progress and is happy to harvest the energy of useful idiots who believe that they are advancing the Christendom of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in contra to "racialism" by supporting BLM's Leftist attack on "racism".
The founding documents of United States of America, The Declaration and Constitution, have reflected the purest expression of the ideals of Western Christendom, and the expungement of tribalism in favor of a universal vision for humanity being endowed with rights by the Creator. American culture has been intended as "melting pot", where a new American citizen acknowledged their heritage, but gave up their tribalism to be part of E Pluribus Unum.
Cultures that make distinctions between men and women have extended far beyond Christendom and (even extend into the animal kingdom with distinctions between male and female animals). However, a culture that makes distinctions between men and women while also being tribal only challenges the androgynic facet of Left, but does not challenge the tribal facet of Left. The Christendom of the United States of America, which simultaneously values human universalism under the Creator and Biblical/Natural Law distinctions between men and women, is the double barrel existential threat to the Left's cult of androgynic tribalism.
It is true that the United States of America, and its people, have historically fallen short of the ideals of our Founding and have dealt with racialism as was understood Dr. King Jr. But we have gotten better, with fits and starts, with every generation at putting the Founding ideals to practice, with room yet to improve. But the Left is not interested in acknowledging the progress that has been made within a Christendom concept of racial progress, because its nemesis is Christendom itself.
This is why the Left's very peculiar construct of "race" and
"racism" is joined at the hip to its peculiar construct of sex
and gender, and why the Left has a particularly dark and destructive vision for
Christendom and the United States of America.
