Ilana Mercer, who has written on race conflict issues, especially the South African situation in her book, Into the Cannibal’s Pot (2011), and makes some comments relevant to the French riots, although her piece was published before that unhappy event. The issue is, how is it that the Left can swallow the burning buildings, the violence against white people, the shootings, even killings? The answer comes from the cultural relativism of Critical Race Theory, and neo-Marxist ideology, that sees the non-white as oppressed by definition, and the white, by definition as a racist suppressor. The same woke abstraction is employed in feminism, where all men are oppressors and rapists, at least in the most radical forms, which is essentially the mainstream. Thus, what we would see as rampaging urban terrorists, looting stores, the Left see as good honest folk, only getting the designer goods and luxury items that they were deprived of. No matter that most white working class and unemployed people never get to have the goods that the rioters steal, no matter how hard they save.
