Whitewash Quotes

“Some people are severely lonely, all they can do is accept the single life as an example of being free and happy.”
― Anthony Liccione

“Besides, leaked evidence would have resulted in a whitewash, or a Select Committee Inquiry as they were also known;”
― Mick Herron, Real Tigers

“Maps of the world are whitewashed,
history of the world is whitewashed,

knowledge of the world is whitewashed.”

“The Great Firewall (The Sonnet)

99% of the world's human rights
violations are manufactured by the west,
either directly or retrospectively.
No wonder, China is so strict about limiting
western influence on the national psyche!

China is right to ban our entire western internet,
Wouldn't you do the same if you had the might!
If you were self sufficient enough, wouldn't you do
the same to the moron whose biggest contribution
to the world has been genocide, partisan, apartheid!

Every parent tries their best to keep
their children away from bad influence.
You ain't qualified to speak of liberty
till you take off your western glasses.

Political correctness is not social justice,
any more than bigoted boneheadedness is.
Moral sensitivity is just mark of judgmentality,
till we disinfect ourselves from our westernness.”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“The West broke the world, now the human race gotta resurrect the world, offspring of the terrorists and terrorized alike - but we can do nothing at all, till we decolonize our mind.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper

“Educating the Educators (Sonnet 2281)

Greeks did not invent philosophy,
philosophy had existed across Latin America, Africa,
Arabia, India and China, thousands of years earlier,

not as some elitist discipline, but as everyday way of life,
later the europeans contributed their puny drop in the ocean,
but of course, the myth of europe as the origin of philosophy
goes deceptively well with the whitewashed history of earth.

Maps of the world are whitewashed,
history of the world is whitewashed,
ethics of the world are whitewashed,
knowledge of the world is whitewashed.

No wisdom is flawless 'n absolute, ancient or modern,
but the point is, enlightenment and civilization
did not originate in europe, they were born of
the lands colonially categorized as uncivilized.”

“Abolish all white teachers from schools
and universities across the world,
and replace them with noncaucasians,
and the human race will be decolonized
and properly civilized within a hundred years -

but then again, that would be just as inhuman,
ethnic cleansing doesn't cure ethnic cleansing,
so we have to go for the only humane alternative,
and sanitize every last textbook of all whitewashing.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“Education that doesn’t reflect plural humanity, raises only goodlooking jungle rubbish.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“I'm colored, I'm scientist, I'm poet, I'm polyglot - coming from zero money, I won the world with words. Try and get your puny white brains around this existence enigma.”

“Fall of America is a blessing for humankind.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“You know why the West makes such a song and dance about nonviolence, because when your entire empire is built on systemic extermination of living cultures and communities, it really helps if you simultaneously propagate a favorable ideal of nonresistance to evil, this way you can criminalize the very thought of revolution, not only legally, but also morally. Nonviolence has never been about human rights, nonviolence is western propaganda, commodified to maintain moral superiority, if the tortured communities ever dare to resist.”

“South Earth Summon (Naskaristana 2800)

I am the Son of South Earth,
my spice-tolerance is superhuman,
but lies-tolerance is nonexistent -
my resilience knows no mortal limit,
but I have zero tolerance for intolerance.

I speak more languages than most northerners,
I've devoured more scriptures than most northerners,
I have assimilated more cultures and disciplines,
which is why I say, there is no north, no south,
when it comes to virtues and vices of human nature.

So I'm not saying South is better than the North,
but reparations are foundational to civilization;
enlightenment was born in the South of Earth -
math, medicine, poetry, philosophy, theology,
almost everything was invented in the South,
then the Northerners barged in,
and pretended they invented astrophysics.

I come from the other half of the world that
has been systematically reduced to footnotes
of northernized history normalized as world history,

now I am a bigger giant than
all your white giants combined,
now I speak, and you listen.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

“In western narrative, isolation is liberation, the elderly is inconvenient, apathy is aesthetic - invasion is ambition, exploitation is exploration, indifference is etiquette, appropriation is innovation.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

“Till you outgrow white narrative, you'll never learn the human story.”

“Outside the Gutters of West
(Sonnet 2679)

If you grew up with western media,
you get brainwashed into asking,
why are most terrorists muslim!
But grow up and study actual history
of the human race, then you start asking,
why is every terrorist white!

To look at Islam through western lens is like
looking at the sky through a woodworm's eyes,
the same is with Sindh, the same is with China,
the same is with Africa, and Latin America.

Objectivity is an impediment to understanding -
if you yourself are not right smack in the middle
of the experience, you have zero grasp of the truth,
even if your head is full with facts and figures.

But then again, this is not something
a stubborn eurocentric mule can fathom,
even to entertain the possibility
that the prized imperial commodity
of objectivity could be a fallacy,
you have to have a decolonized mind.”

“Center of the world is indigenous.”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock

“Most white scholars eventually turn out to be just another colonial twit, no matter how brilliant, how learned they are, because animal conditioning doesn't wear off with mere education of the intellect - your soul must be disinfected of colonial filth, which is not possible until you intrinsically embody the pain, indignity, and humiliations of the oppressed, subjected through generations.”

“Not sonnets, Naskar Sonnets (2883)

I repeat, it's not sonnets, it's Naskar Sonnets,
don't try to fit them into your puny, whitewashed,
backward eurocentric customs and conventions -
you're welcome to keep your little legends,
but don't go comparing your lampposts with the sun!

I'm not superior to your aristocratic literature,
I'm just from a different dimension altogether,
a civilized dimension, a non-xenophobic dimension,
a non-misogynist dimension, a non-settler,
non-privileged, non-primate dimension -

a dimension where I write as I live,
I live as I write, instead of being
a saint on paper, while a sicko in life.

I don't write to earn your approval or trust,
I write to shortcircuit your jungle customs -
it's you who has to stand the Naskar Test,
not the other way around.

If you could finish even half of what I've written,
you'd either hate me enough to kill,
or you'd be so massive a human that everywhere
you look you'd find your own reflection,
wearing different skin and different clothes.”

“White people must be seen, not heard (Sonnet 2913)

In matters of human rights,
white people must be seen, not heard;

In matters of ethics and morality,
white people must be seen, not heard;

In matters of reason and righteousness,
white people must be seen, not heard;

In matters of philosophy and theology,
white people must be seen, not heard;

unless you've proven beyond the shadow of
a doubt, with every ounce of your existence,
that you value humanity more than you
value your faith, your intellect, your philosophy,
and every aspect of your whitewashed identikit.

White is not a color, white is a mindset,
and every person infected by that mindset
is a potential threat to the human race,
as such they must be crowdfunded with
immediate psychiatric treatment.”
