Dawg posted a video yesterday I wish I had never seen. No, not a clip from the latest slasher flick. Worse. Michael Coren, using the meme begun by disgraced ‘historian’ David Starkey that it’s ‘not racism, it’s culture’, went on a riot of his own on Fox News North with Brian Lilley gleefully cheering him on. His rampage laid waste to black people (“black thugs”), their history and their culture.
This open sewer of hate has been long coming. What started with the election of Obama has become an open wound. Breivik and the riots have taken away any last vestiges of holding back the ugly undercurrents of the pillars of conservatism. It’s become a free-for-all of hate and racism with no media to buffer – only to amplify.
Coren’s rant is nothing more than pure racism, stripped of any pretence of civility or reality. It has most likely broken Canadian broadcasting rules. Goddamn you Anders Breivik. What you have started is far greater than you anticipated. Fox News North has come by at just the ‘right’ time to capitalize on that hate and lack of self control in the form of license to people like Michael Coren to openly spew racist hate.
As hard as it is to view the video, make your way over to Dawg’s house and watch it. Then follow the links to report this act of blatant hate speech.

‘Mark Steyn’ also describes himself as a “culturalist, not a racist.”
Ever notice how much he looks like one of those yobs in the suspenders and Doc Martens? Wouldn’t take much to see him parading around with a swastika t-shirt.
(Incidentally, the Captcha code here was EWW4. Appropriate.)
Canadians have been developing this rationalization for quite a while now, although it’s only recently started to break the surface of mainstream media. Just go through the comments or letters section – or even the op-eds – of any Canadian newspaper for the past ten years and replace the word ‘immigrant’ or ‘Muslim’ with the ‘N-word’ and it becomes pretty clear.
I suspect that it’s a symptom of being so immersed in American culture and history: we don’t recognize this sort of thing as racism because there are no police dogs or ‘whites only’ fountains involved.
Looking at Coren’s racism, it’s not hard to see why there’s problems like this in the UK.
Since Michael Coren comes from the same clan of thuggish Britishists who rioted in Britain and Vancouver, he should take responsibility for the violent tendancies coming from this fellow Britishists. As noted by the violence in Vancouver, there is a creeping BritishiSation invading Canada. Anyone who appears to be a Britishist should be considered suspect.
The way I see it, the only difference between “racism” and “culturism” is that “culturism” can potentially incorporate a wider group to hate. I’m sure they hate Islamists whether they’re white, brown, or black – regardless of the many who are just people doing what people do and not hurting anyone.
Some good points here. I agree that “culturism” allows these thugs to hate on LGBT communities as well as political ideologies, religion and race. Race alone is so limiting when it comes to hatred.
