Quickies: Racism? What Racism?

AlbaMoretz Aralık 01, 2021

By the au courant use of the term – especially on the Left – I am a racist, and an admitted one. That’s why I get a charge out of stories such as this one:

     A Rhodes Scholar and leader in a black activist group at Oxford University posted a Facebook status in which he boasts of stiffing a white waitress on a tip as revenge for colonialism.
     Ntokozo Qwabe hails from South Africa, and is studying at Oxford as the beneficiary of a full-ride scholarship created by 19th century British imperialist Cecil Rhodes. Despite this, Qwabe became a leader in the Rhodes Must Fall movement, which demands the removal of all memorials to Rhodes on Oxford’s campus. Qwabe claims that Rhodes was “as bad as Hitler” because of his support for the British Empire.
     Recently Qwabe returned to South Africa, where he visited a cafe with some friends. His own description on Facebook of what happened next is below:
     To cut the long story short, we are out at Obz Cafe with [a black non-binary transgender] activist, and the time for the bill comes. Our waitress is a white woman. I ask the said activist what the going rate for tips/gratuity is in these shores. They look at me very reluctantly and they say ‘give me the slip, I’ll sort that out’. I give them the slip.
     They take a pen & slip in a note where the gratuity/tip amount is supposed to be entered. The note reads in bold: “WE WILL GIVE TIP WHEN YOU RETURN THE LAND”. The waitress comes to us with a card machine for the bill to be sorted out. She sees the note & starts shaking. She leaves us & bursts into typical white tears (like why are you crying when all we’ve done is make a kind request? lol!).

Note that this vicious-minded bastard who so gleefully abused a white woman for being white is enjoying a free education courtesy of a Rhodes Scholarship. What do you suppose this “leader” of the “Rhodes Must Fall” movement would say if that scholarship were to be retracted? That it’s “racist” to do so?

It’s a struggle not to hate such persons. A lot of good people are slowly losing that struggle. What will follow will not be pretty.
