This Year’s ‘Self-Hating White Man’ Finalists: My NEW Taki’s column

December 16, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

Warning: The comments will be 5000% “JOOOO!”-y this week. I don’t even have to check first. Sorry…

The blue ribbon in the “Self-Hating White Man” category has to be placed on the coffin of David Ruenzel.

I’ll admit it: I emailed the story of Ruenzel’s murder to a bunch of my friends with the subject line “ha ha ha ha.” That’s because he made a living writing about “white privilege” for the inexplicably respectable Southern Poverty Law Center—and he was killed by two black dudes.

While hiking, no less. (…)

His murder provides some of us with a “Little Nell” moment, but don’t laugh for long…
