Tu Quoque By Chris Knight

     A supermarket in Germany has made a statement about “racism,” by removing all foreign groceries from its shelves:

See, there is nothing left, and you all would starve!  Keep up the experiment for a year, just to show how ideologically pure you are.

     Nevertheless, contrary to this, I think that the message delivered is exactly the opposite. It shows how foreign domination amounts to a form of economic imperialism, which is “racism,” to use that meaningless, catch-all word. Perform the same circus trick in an African country and you get the same result. Do these chatterers want to label oppressed Africans as “racists”? Surely not. Hence, refuted, QED.
