Back when I was ranting about Boomers, I came across this ludicrous blog maintained by a preening, moralistic Canadian female Boomer.  I stay subscribed because it keeps me acquainted with how out-of-touch and hysterical professional women of a certain age are.  Add to that the fact that she’s Canadian, and it’s like a window into instant lunacy.

Last week she posted this rambling post about Greenland and how awful we people of European extraction are because we have the audacity to celebrate our accomplishments.  This ignores the fact that most of her posts are about her family’s impressive genealogy, much of which involves awesome Europeans building the Canadian nation.

Well, cringe Leftists aren’t known for their intellectual consistent, and they are well known for devouring and defiling their own heritages so a tiny minority of dusky people won’t call them racists.

What really caught my eye about her post was this news article about a British woman who trekked Baffin Island solo.  The woman claimed to be the first woman to do so solo, and the Inuit community complained that it was Eurocentric preening.  The article contains quotations from “indigenous women” who claim they have walked the island many times.

First of all, how do we even know that Inuit claim is true?  The vast majority of Inuit people today live on a perpetual dole.  I doubt many of them are trekking much farther than the liquor store.  Secondly, why does this woman have to apologize for doing something that is objectively cool and challenging?

Thirdly and finally, why should we care?  If Inuit women did make the trek, that’s awesome, and the lady who did it is merely mistaken.  She shouldn’t have to grovel to a group of blubber-eating drunkards—or anyone!  Even if she’s not the “first woman” (who really cares?) to do it, she still did it.

The rest of the blog post is just a bunch of white guilt about colonization and the conquest of the Native Americans.  What we have to remember is that warfare and conquest have been the norm in human history.  That doesn’t mean we should want it—I surely don’t—but it’s ridiculous and immoral to judge the people of the past by our standards.  It’s patently absurd.  And, of course, this very same blogger is living the good life in a developed country that is built, on part, upon that conquest.  I imagine she feels an immense amount of guilt—real or feigned—about that, but she shouldn’t.  It is simply the way of things.

We should treat Native Americans better.  The reservation system is a travesty, trapping people in generational cycles of dependence and alcoholism.  It’s the same bread-and-circuses that have trapped black Americans and poor whites in the same cycle.

But let’s be real.  They’re not getting land they lost in warfare—and they fought incredibly bravely and hard to defend it!—back.  Indeed, the United States is currently being invaded by both Mexicans and Indians; I doubt the Punjabs will extend the same magnanimity to Native Americans (and native-born Americans) as native-born European Americans do now.

White guilt is a psy-op.  Break free of it, and celebrate human accomplishment—of all peoples, races, sexes, etc.  If someone does something cool and challenging, they deserve recognition, not their two-minutes hate.
