US Imperialism And The Hubris Of White ‘Supremacy’ Ideology
Last week, New York Times columnist Carlos Lozada in a piece entitled, Pax Americana, Meet Lax Americana, remarked, “We had a good run - some eight decades or so - but it’s clear now that the United States has ceased to be the leader of the free world.” Who exactly Mr. Lozada meant by “we” is a subject for another time - but I would argue that “we” certainly does not refer to the masses of poor and working class Black, Brown, Indigenous and white folk who have little to do with the barbaric and draconian imperialist and neo-colonial machinations of the U.S. empire in the same way that developing nations have little to do with the profligate greenhouse gas emissions driving and exacerbating the climate crisis.
