People with a superiority complex do not value or respect other peoples culture or customs. In fact, they will unknowingly as well as overtly destroy it. People with an inferiority complex will not maintain or practice their own customs, culture or disciplines, but instead try to assimilate into a culture they feel is superior to their own. This title explains in detail a tragic psychological state in black and white America.

This book is a collection of op-eds published on Pressenza. Each article looks at a different aspect of the Western dynamic as played against other cultures and as seen through current events. While the mainstream often views these issues as either political or economic, I argue that these conflicts are deeper and rooted to a cultural historical formative landscape that I call the White-West.

During these years, all forms of media were flooded with...
