PC police shame "white men of the West" into silence

You can't call Ujjal Dosanjh a racist, or a white supremacist, or even a conservative right-wing nutjob. Born in a village in Punjab, India, he emigrated to the United Kingdom at the age of 17 before moving to Canada almost four years later. He worked numerous manual labour jobs and attended university, studying political science. He earned his law degree at the University of British Columbia and opened his own law firm.

Mr. Dosanjh is a card-carrying Liberal. He served as Premier of British Columbia from 2000 to 2001 and as a Liberal Member of Parliament from 2004 to 2011. A moderate member of Vancouver's large Sikh community, he has been a vocal opponent of violence and extremism.

Keep Mr. Dosanjh's background as you read some excerpts from his blog for January 2nd, headed "The silencing of the white men of the West!". He argues persuasively that by silencing white men in the name and through the power of poliltical correctness, Canada can’t have an honest debate about equality, race and culture. It's important you read this because what he says about Canada's PC police goes, in spades [Watch it! Ed.], for the USA and the rest of the West.

Mr. Dosanjh writes: What started as a legitimate change to bring about equality and transformation of how we viewed, treated and spoke about each other has now ossified into a rarely breached wall of silence; a silence reinforced by the onset of the West's indifference to its own - good, bad or ugly but - distinct societies, their values and norms; call it white man's burden or guilt; a guilt for the sins of the past now manifesting itself in the white man's fear.

But the real need for equality and social justice for all has also spawned the much despised political correctness preventing us from being honest with each other. Politicians afraid of  "ethnic backlashes" revel in silence policed by the so called multiculturalists who might be more appropriately called multicults - the practitioners of a fierce brand of exclusivist Multiculturalism that ought to be renamed Multicultism. Under these circumstances when politicians do speak they utter non sequiturs,simply bromides.

It seems some of us have so thoroughly shamed the white men into complete submission regarding our misplaced belief that Canada has no core identity or core values; so much so that even our Prime Minister won't defend what was so dear to his own father - what he had fought so hard for.

On matters of race, religion, culture and national identity of Canada the white men are reduced to either silence or non sequiturs. If the white men of Canada can't overcome the fear of rebuke from the enforcers of fear, Canadians can't ever have an honest debate about the state of equality, race, culture and the place and space for religion and other languages in Canada.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Or, if I had said it, I'd have been called a racist bastard, white supremacist, yada yada yada. And the PC police would be at my doorstep, if only they could locate my cabin in the pines.
