White Man, Apex Predator of Earth (Sonnets 2399-2400) – Abhijit Naskar, When Calls The Kainat

You know how the dinosaurs went extinct – they committed suicide when they saw the white man coming. They said to themselves, clearly white men are the apex predator of earth, so there’s no point of us being!

Asteroids wiped out the dinosaurs, caucasteroids wiped out civilizations. Colonialism was a mass extinction event, yet no textbook has the spine to bear the burden.

You demonize hitler for his measly 6m white body count!

Americas were radiant with life, love and wonder, then columbus happened, and population dropped 90%, bengal had the world’s finest silk industry, then churchill happened, and industry collapsed, 4 million starved to death, millions massacred across india, like australia, like leopold-infestation in congo.

Everywhere the white man has laid his eyes on, plague, famine and massacre has followed, and they had the gall to send missionaries to the south – ubuntu, advaita, aztecs and mayans, each could eat eurotheologies for breakfast and still have room for a 50 course meal.

In a way we should be thanking the cannibals, they were doing humanity great service, if only the africans, indians, native americans, aboriginal australians had done the same, earth would have been spared the brutalest extinction event in the history of life.
