OBAMA-VOTER PUNCH-IN-THE-FACE
I mean, the whole random violence thing is pretty popular these days. So, why don’t we just start a trend of punching obama voters in the face? I mean, over here in the east, it’s pretty obvious that this guy is the worst thing to happen to the world since the previous professor ideologically imposed the versailles treaty.
The academy is a house of religion and has no place in world affairs.

http://souloftheeast.org/2014/12/05/emir-kusturica-interviewI am sorry that Russians hold some of these views even if I sympathize with Russian particularism and am myself an antagonist against western suicidal universalism.
But the fact is that anyone who sough to invade Russia’s did so to civilize barbarians unsuitable for self rule.
This is also an uncomfortable truth.
Russians are still unsuitable barbarians.

I don’t think “reverse racism” is a useful or even entirely coherent concept, and I don’t think thought-experiments are a particularly helpful way to think about racism in the first place: in my view, something about the subject demands an “ecological” or “in vivo” rather than thought-experimental approach.
In other words, the topic demands engagement with the living, breathing complexity of real-live experiences of racism, not with thought-experiments that abstract away from them.
I also think that if the topic is racism, as it should be, focusing on black-white relations in the U.S. is overly narrow, and problematically distortive of our thinking.
It doesn’t even capture race relations in the U.S., much less race relations beyond American borders.
