I am going to quote this flagged/removed reply that I think only certain HN users can see, because I think it's important to address:

>Since you did not want to quote the whole thing, I will do it for you: >The white race is the cancer of human history; it is the white race and it alone—its ideologies and inventions—which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself.

>And I will point out the obvious thing: yes, she's jewish. Most of the things against the so-called "white race" come from jewish people. Don't trust me, just verify this: every time you see something about "white people blah blah", check the author. 9 out of 10 times it's a jewish person and/or has jewish background. I won't elaborate on the causes, you're free to research yourself.

>Then on one side there are no races because we all are the human race. On the other side, there may be races, but we're all equal - well, except if we talk about the "white race", then we can say all kinds of truly trashy things because it's about whites and therefore it's all good.

>I wish this would stop already.

Hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of white nationalists and neo-Nazis react this way to such things. I'm not going to respond to it myself (it's total bullshit in many different ways), but just know that there are a lot of people out there who think this way. (And, of course, you don't want to know what this poster is writing on places like 4chan compared to the PR-friendly thing they wrote here.)

Is that full quote supposed to be better?

I’m not sure what’s being addressed here, but that you feel comfortable reiterating that an entire race is cancerous is concerning to say the least. What is the end goal of this rhetoric?

I'm not endorsing Sontag's quote at all. I disagree with her and think it's wrong and immoral to exhibit bigotry towards any race or to cast any sort of group judgment like that in general. Plus if any other race had been in the same position they'd very likely be just as rapacious towards the Earth. I think what she describes is a human problem and not a racial problem.

I had just wanted to provide the preceding sentences to give it full context. The part I was disagreeing with is the stuff about Jews and what I wanted to address is the specific ways people react to these things.

But, you're right. It's totally besides the point and is irrelevant; racism is racism. I removed the full quote.
