This article is the second of several on the topic of Cultural Marxism and it's use of Multiculturalism and Political Correctness to destroy the fabric of Western society. (Unabridged Version) When is Multiculturalism 'not' OK? I have written many articles in the last few years on Political Correctness and multiculturalism, and I frequently point out that those who crow the loudest about the 'rights' of ethnic minorities are also the ones who decide what is permissible and what is not. Why is that in Australia, a Chaplain cannot 'pray' with the person he visits, or use the name of Jesus and yet Muslims receive all sorts of accommodation for their faith? Why is it that if a non Muslim objects to seeing Muslim women in traditional dress, that they are howled down for being racist, when many Muslim customs such as that men can have four wives are simply 'not allowed' by law in our society? And what of female circumscision?
The explanation for why 'we' are called racist when we do not like something about a foreign culture, while at the same time that culture is not permitted to fully flourish on our soil, is that those in charge of making sure that we are all equal and receive 'fair' treatment, and that we should embrace each other's cultures, are also the arbiters of what 'cultural practices' the ethnic minorities can and cannot bring into our country. The bottom line is therefore, that the thought police who demand that we 'believe as they believe' are hypocrites. As demonstration of a how 'non accepting' society is of 'ethnic culture', I bring to your attention a recent article which will disturb many people I am sure, but if you can take your focus off the actual 'fact of the matter', and look at the principle of the matter, which is to say of 'multiculturalism, racism and political correctness', you must at the very least, recognise that so much of the spiel about 'racism and multiculturalism' is hypocritical.
The background to this story is that the Aboriginal girl was 12 and the Aboriginal boy was 16 in June of 2006 when they met. They became boyfriend and girlfriend. Finally they lived together at a remote outstation, (which is to say in a place where 'traditional aboriginals' can be found) and were supported by their extended families. She gave birth to a child last year when she was 14 years old. The boy has received a suspended jail sentence. I imagine that many people will forgo their previous views on racism and multiculturalism to insist that the boy is a criminal and that this relationship was disgusting and tantamount to child abuse. However, the fact remains, that this story is not about western thinking, white people's culture, or religious morality. It is a story about the 'culture' of an ethnic group; a minority cultural group. Aboriginal culture contains a lot of things which Whites don't understand. For instance, you should not look full blood Aboriginals in the eye. This is a sign of anger in Aboriginal culture. Another cultural point to be found within Aboriginal culture, is that if a man commits murder, there is a 'blood' payment to be made that may result in the offender's death. I remember one time when I was living in Alice Springs in the middle of Australia, that a prisoner had arrived from down south. He had served his time for murder, but before he could be taken back to his own people, he had to face this 'blood feud' trial. He was to be taken to 5 different communities where he would be 'speared', as 'cultural' payment for his crime. The police had to be with him to ensure that he went through with these tribal customs, and to provide him with medical treatment when he was speared. You might say that this was barbaric, but in fact it was not. You see, if the police did not take him to these spearing events, which he would survive, then he would have been murdered by relatives of the deceased. This my friends is what it means to accept 'multicultural practices'. This is true multiculturalism. People who genuinely push 'multiculturalism', are only insisting on societal tolerance for all cultures. Those however who are not genuine, are those who seek to punish 'us' for not accepting the 'foreign' in our midst. But as the two stories here about Aboriginal culture indicate, there are always things about a foreign culture that we are not going to be comfortable with. This does not mean that we do away with multiculturalism, but it does suggest that we should do away with those who would punish us for not accepting 'all foreign culture', for the fact is, that those who would punish us for not accepting 'foreign culture', are the very ones who first determine what of that 'foreign culture' is acceptable. And that my friends is hypocritical, for it demonstrates that the politically correct who want to control our thoughts and actions, have already made sure that their own 'personal' objections to minority culture have already been excised. Who the hell are they then to tell us that we must follow them as though they were gods? R.P.BenDedek Email: rpbendedek@hotmail.com
