Recent Derbism Issues

Derbism is a cultural postmodernist ideology that was famously exposited by writer Lawrence Auster . It describes the idea of partisan Government agreements that result in the promotion of the rights of Black People. It has been a controversial topic that has recently been aired and criticized by political and social commentators, writers and philosophers regarding democratic candidate for the American presidency Barack Obama's political drive for Black rights. It is a philosophy that was essentially created by academic John Derbyshire . There have been a flood of critics against this fundamental philosophy that integrates obligation into Governmental decisions by many academics. However, it has been significantly criticized by notable academic and scholar Stephen Bourne, a computer scientist and part time writer for various social journals, who argued that 'Yes... governments arguably do spend more time worrying about their minority and how to please them than their majority. However we cannot assume the promotion of Black Rights is the advent of obligatory black mail...excuse the pun'. In a recent Social Thought conference in Brussels, Stephen Bourne was quoted as saying that 'Derbyshire's train of thought has derailed his brain and crashed into the dark world of agnostism and atheism. He really is off his little nutter!"

Darwinism and Derbism

However, the idea of partisan Government decisions concerning the rights of black people is only a portion of Derbyshire's ideology. Amoung the other ideas spelled out in his theory of Derbism are:

1 That Darwinian selection can account for all human behavior;

2 That Islamism presents no real threat to Western Civilization, and that those who believe that it does are guilty of "Islamophobia";

3 That we are running out of oil;

4 That we are not going to deport masses of illegal aliens, so there is no point in discussing it as a policy option;

5 That human nature is not unchanging, and that we may be significantly different from people who lived in the past;

6 That overpopulation is a real and serious problem;

7 That Al Gore is at least partially right about global warming;

Although his ideas are revolutionary, they have, as already stated, attracted widespread critisisms. His atheist idea has attracted also the intense speculation and accusation of America's Evangelicals. They have argued that his statements are anti-chrisitainity. Indeed, although Derbyshire does not claim he is a Darwinist, his liberalist ideals swing into the left wing ideas of Postmodernism.

Indeed there is a limited consensus in political and social circles. However, the understanding of the future of the human race relies on the absorbtion of social ideologies that result in the furtherance and development of the social framework of human beings. Derbism can, as academics point out, shackle and imprison theory and thoughts that could ascertain to higher levels of rights that human beings can possess.
