KNOW HOW MUCH YOU KNOW | 2005-04-12
A non-racist once made a very perceptive remark to me. He said:
"The racists I know come in two types. They are very, very ignorant or they are the smartest people I have ever met."
This was in the course of saying I was one of the smartest people he had ever met, but my opinions were not the ones "smart people" were supposed to have.
What he called "ignorant" described the sort of people I feel comfortable with. They are working people whose minds are not cluttered with fashionable nonsense. So they have no problem saying they don't know and they are willing to listen to sense.
From the Yuppie point of view, they are hopeless yokels.
From my point of view, the Yuppies have all the intellectual capacity of a brick wall, while those "ignorant yokels" are real people.
What makes me feel good about this concept that people who are worried about the white race are either quote ignorant unquote or brilliant is because it reminds me of Jesus.
Jesus confounded the High Priests with his brilliance when He was about twelve years old. Then He gave up on the Old Testament scholars and went out and talked to the "ignorant" and the sinners.
I keep realizing that everything I think of Jesus already did and said better.
Jesus is welcome to the patent. I just want to use the produce He produced.
