Re: Can anyone translate this word salad article from Patheos?

What is the cause of self-hating white women? They seem racked with guilt over things they have no control over.

I think it's a hangover from Christianity. They were most likely guilt-ridden, cower-before-God types in their immediate set of past lives, so they've taken to self-flagellation because they've never done enough deep thinking to strike at the root of their self-hatred. They are still racists. The bigotry of low expectations is the most insidious form of racism. By accusing her own race of thoughtcrime against all the brown and disabled people, Daimler is actually saying she knows herself to be superior because she was born in a certain race. She is projecting her own thoughts on fellow white people rather than dealing with her own internalized racism. In other words, she should try meditating upon her diatribes before she hits the publish button.
