Peter Simple (aka Michael Wharton. Ninety years and still going strong) (Filed: 25/04/2003) [url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fopinion%2F2003%2F04%2F25%2Fdo2505.xml&secureRefresh=true&_requestid=200122]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jh...equestid=200122[/url]
Thought Control
"It's very difficult," says Cdr Cressida Dick, head of the modishly named Metropolitan Police diversity directorate, "to imagine the situation where we will say we are no longer institutionally racist." It certainly is, but not for the reasons she believes in.
The occasion of her pronouncement was the 10th anniversary of the murder of Stephen Lawrence*. This crime marked the beginning of a new epoch in the irresistible progress of the race relations industry. Ever since, it has been exploited in a propaganda campaign of remarkable ingenuity and determination.
This also produced a sensational breakthrough in race relations jargon: Sir William Macpherson's inspired coinage of the term "institutional racism", by which the concept of "racism" was extended from individual cases to embrace the whole of our society and brand it as guilty and fit to be condemned.
The plain word "racism", it cannot be said too often, is of quite recent coinage and should never be used outside inverted commas. It is essentially fraudulent. It is conveniently used by the industry to load the normal, healthy and probably ineradicable human tendency to prefer the familiar to the unfamiliar with a sense of evil.
It implies that millions of innocent people are moved by racial hatred and guilty of "hate crimes" which, by a recent sinister development, have now become subject to legal penalties.
Of the tens of thousands of workers in the race relations industry, full-time and part-time, not all are bureaucratic busybodies or pestilent do-gooders, let alone conscious conspirators. Some, no doubt, have the best intentions. They may genuinely believe, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, that they are helping to foster goodwill between the "ethnic minorities" and the indigenous population.
But that is not the real effect of their activities. By spreading morbid guilt, self-distrust and confusion of mind among the suggestible majority, they are handing an incomparable instrument of thought control to the present Left-liberal multiracial establishment and to the coming totalitarian state.

Good article generally, but I can't get with that paragraph. "...tens of thousands of workers in the race relations industry"??? Mein Gott! These are commissars! Have any of them ever held a real job?
Never grant that your enemy has good intentions. If a rampaging raccoon is gnawing on my toe, I don't care if she has hungry little raccoons.
This is the white dilemma: We grant the humanity of our opponents. They do not grant ours.

That got me too. :rolleyes: The unapologetic rejection of the dogma supporting them - in a 'mainstream' paper - was good to read though.
