BOREV ON BOLIVIA: "Is Jackson Diehl (Wash Post) a Dangerous White Supremacist or . . ."
Is Jackson Diehl a Dangerous White Supremacist, or Just a Dick?

You probably already knew this, but Bolivian President Evo Morales is an Indian, in a country made up primarily of Indians, and in the 170-year history of Bolivia he is the country's very first Indian president, which is crazy when you think about it. Anyway the Washington Post's Jackson Diehl believes that this is a bad and scary development, because it threatens to inject "ethnocentric policies" into Bolivian government when everything was fair and square before. Hell even the slaves were probably happy.

All of which got me wondering, how would the Washington Post have covered the fall of apartheid if Jackson Diehl sat on the Ed Board in the early 90s? Haha that's easy to figure out. Just take today's editorial and substitute "South Africa" for "Bolivia" and "Mandela" for "Morales." Oh no wait allow me:

South African President Nelson Mandela claims to be ruling his country on behalf of a black majority whose rights have been denied for centuries by an evil "oligarchy." In fact, Mr. Mandela is pursuing a narrow and divisive agenda that, if continued, will split South Africa along geographic as well as ethnic lines, and possibly trigger a civil war.

Though demographers disagree, a common estimate is that 65 percent of South Africa's 43 million people are of African descent, while "Whites," descendants of Europeans, make up the balance. Ignoring this disparity, Mr. Mandela, a black South African and former guerilla fighter, is trying to impose a new political system on the country that greatly increases his own power and that privileges his own ethnic group at the expense of the rest of the country. Worse, Mr. Mandela is an acolyte of the Soviet Union's Mikhail Gorbachev and has adopted his potted and authoritarian version of socialism.

Early returns from a white-separatist referendum held recently in Johannesburg's better white neighborhoods showed that more than 84 percent voted for the autonomy plan. Though the legality of the vote is questionable, the exercise demonstrated beyond doubt that opposition to Mr. Mandela's program extends far beyond any "oligarchy." If South Africa is lucky, Mr. Mandela will recognize that most of his country will never accept ethnocentric policies or Soviet-style autocracy, and he will begin to negotiate a compromise that allows more rights for South Africa's white inhabitants. If he presses ahead with black-majority rule, the result is likely to be bloodshed.

Now that was easy, wasn't it? Everybody was doing just fine in South Africa until the blacks took over and made it all racist with their racism. The same applies to Bolivia today, so go back to India, stupid Bolivian Indians!

1. Oh, he's BOTH! Now that's a great way to look at one of Diehl's pieces of filthy scribblings.
The man is pure evil. What good has he ever been for anyone? Venomous bully, elitist snot, and you bet, pure, nasty racist, such pride in nothing other than his sicky, pallid, glow-in-the-dark natural hue.

He sure can't take pride in his intelligence, or in his writing, and god knows, he can't be any too proud of his appearance. What's he got left, his heavenly personality. Of course not. His lack of interest, of liveliness, of value indicates he has no personality whatsoever, unless whining about the advantages he fears the poor might get in a million years constitutes charisma.

That's a great test for a Diehl-gram.

This tool feels that, because the fools in Santa Cruz, etc. believe it's possible to treat indigenous human beings like dirt, it's perfectly acceptable for him to see them in that light, too, as people who simply don't matter, who are not as important as people like Diehl.



Jackson Diehl, displaying his semi-boneless hands.
If he loses his writing career, he can get a job
snapping holes in donuts with his upper front teeth.
