It's Always About Control
Secular humanism--like all religions--has a list of cardinal sins, blasphemies if you will. Since the West has established secular humanism as its official religion, one consequently risks severe penalty if one commits a cardinal sin against secular humanism.
One of the cardinal sins is to be sexist. Actually, that is too generous. The sin of discrimination against women is the real McCoy. Miscreant Alisdair Thompson, in repeated outbursts of malice, was fired from his job for blasphemously arguing that women as a group are less productive in the workplace than men. Yes, he had data and evidence and some facts, but to secular humanism and its high priests this is irrelevant. Blasphemy is blasphemy. He was "gone by lunchtime" as they say.
A second cardinal sin of the established religion is racism--equally heinous.
Whatever you do, don't be a racist or you risk life and limb. But, as is the case with sexism, there are no scriptures to define what it is. Like ugliness, racism is in the eye of the beholder. Secular humanism tends to make these things up as it goes along--which is entirely to be expected, since it is a religion which turns around Man. Racism is what people say it is.
Therefore, if one does not want to go the way of Alisdair Thompson, one needs to be very sensitive and careful of what other people may think might be racism, and guard one's lips accordingly. The best defence against blaspheming in this regard is to be "Politically Correct". Then you will be relatively safe.
In New Zealand we have discrimination in favour of Maori. There are seats in Parliament reserved for Maori only. There are local body committees and authorities reserved for Maori. There are two political parties whose membership is race based. This is racism pure and simple because racism is any world view or practice which makes race the determining category or factor. What is the Maori position on nuclear fusion? There ain't one. What is the Maori position on the dole? There ain't one. You have right wing Maori, conservative Maori, socialist Maori, educated and urbane Maori, Christian and pagan Maori, and ignorant grievance mongering Maori. Those who claim that certain opinions or principles reflect a certain genetic make up--that is, ethnicity--are woefully ignorant.
The political parties which claim to represent Maori are charlatans. When they claim specific positions as Maori positions they are racists because they are implying that one's race determines one's opinions, world-view, and thought. Those Maori which don't agree with their pretensions are not real or genuine Maori. They are Uncle Toms, or traitors, or brown pakeha, or some other malicious sobriquet.
Strangely, secular humanism applauds racism in this case. To oppose such racisms is to be branded a racist and blasphemer quick smart. This gets us close to the bone. Our established religion of secular humanism hurls epithets like "sexist" and "racist" to shut people up and disembowel those who oppose. Racism is OK if it is "good racism" or "paternalistic racism" or "positive racism". It is not really racism at all. Racism is what secular humanism says it is. It is the proverbial wax nose. It is useful as a lever to gain power and oppress others.
Genuine racism--that is, the belief that a person's race is the ultimate determiner of a person--is a stupid and patently ignorant construct. Race based policies and characterisations are derivatives of genuine racism and are derivatively equally stupid and ignorant. The Maori Party and their fellow travellers--which are legion--are walking manifestations of stupidity and ignorance. Anyone who makes race a deterministic factor of a human being is a sandwich short of a picnic.
But that's secular humanism for you. Professing to be wise, it is the most foolish of vanities. But that's not important. In the end, it is always and only about the levers of power and controlling others by the brute force of government. That is the real point, the real objective.
