Why the “Whites as Cancer” Myth?
"So far I have written many articles describing the “whites as cancer” myth, but I have not yet put forth any theory to explain why it has been so attractive to Westerners. It is one of history’s great riddles, perhaps its greatest: why has our race turned against itself? Why do whites, contrary to reason and the natural inclination to racial pride, slander their own culture and history, and glorify those of other races?
There are certainly many reasons for this, but there is, I believe, one primary reason. It is because whites who slander their own people have managed to convince the world that they are smarter, more courageous, and more sophisticated than the rest of us. Slandering your own people indicates that you have managed to overcome your ethnocentric prejudice, or the natural bias in favor of your own people and nation.
