‘White guilt’ is vanity posing as virtue
Twenty-five years ago, the American filmmaker Michael Moore published Stupid White Men, a book that not only assails America’s ruling class, but also constitutes a wholesale slander of this particular demographic. The chapter ‘Kill Whitey’ is devoted to deploring what Moore regards as the most execrable aspects of white American culture. Despite being released shortly after the September 11 attacks of 2001, Stupid White Men proved a roaring success.
