Homo racist americanus

It appears that lots of white Americans are mad at France. Most of these Americans are the same ones who are still angry with the French for not supporting the U.S. invasion of Iraq – something they should not single out France for, since almost the entire world recoiled in horror at the American aggression. Now the French have antagonized American racists again, by deciding it is not in their best interest to antagonize the entire Arab and Muslim world by massacring young French rioters of West African and Arab descent. But, for racist Americans, it’s an unforgivable crime for white people to not put colored people immediately, and bloodily, in their place.

It's not that the French are strangers to the game of massacre and genocide, beginning with the Crusades. The French have a thousand-year history of antagonizing Arabs and enslaving Blacks and anybody else they could get their filthy colonial hands on. And the French Left has been damn near worthless in opposing what they considered to be "their" empire. Now, millions of the people of that empire have settled in France, making up one tenth of the population. Integration with underlings is something the French never fully contemplated, nor did other Europeans on the continent that has shrunken in geopolitical size with the loss of empire.

But the French were taught a lesson in the mid-Nineties, when Paris was wracked by a series of subway bombings. France had taken the side of the Algerian government in that country's war with Islamic fundamentalists. French commuters paid the price, and the government didn't forget the lesson: You mess with Muslims and Arabs at your own peril, because they do not recognize the boundaries that Europeans have unilaterally drawn. Arabia and Africa are IN France. Domestic politics and international politics have become one – an unanticipated result of globalization. After the terrorist bombings of the mid-Nineties, France seem to have learned its lesson in discretion.

But white Americans are anything but discreet. Among the most indiscreet is Jack Cafferty, the daily buffoon at CNN. Cafferty spoke for many of his American race-mates when he cal led the French insurrectionists "mutants" and called for a U.S.-style hammer to be brought down on them. Amazing, isn't it, that white Americans of Cafferty's ilk think they have the right to manage the affairs of everybody else's country – including European countries. The Caffertys of the U.S. believe they have mastered the art of keeping colored people in their place, and they deride the French for letting down the white side, by not committing mass murder.

Living in a bubble of an insular culture that is increasing divorced from reality, the Jack Caffertys and George Bushes fail to understand that the world has no more use for the truly mutant species, homo racist americanus – which has reached the end of its evolutionary line. If the world survives the depredations of homo racist americanus, that line will go extinct. And nobody will miss them.
