Notably: Cambodia fell to the Khmer Rouge on this day in 1975, leading to one of the 20th century’s major genocides at the hands of Pol Pot’s followers. Seth Mydans reported in the New York Times on June 7, 1996: “Sous Thy played an important role in the mass killings by the Communist Khmer Rouge that for nearly four years turned Cambodia into one of the most terrifying places on earth: He was a clerk. In meticulous, even radiant script, he recorded the names and personal histories of thousands of prisoners who were led blindfolded through his office to be tortured and killed at Tuol Sleng prison in Phnom Penh. He was not a violent man, Mr. Sous Thy said in an interview at this village one hour’s drive south of Phnom Penh. “I was just making lists.” Today, those lists, like the dedicated work of other loyal record-keepers, are being turned against the Khmer Rouge by a research team, financed primarily by the United States Congress, that is gathering evidence for possible trials of their leaders. In addition, in tallying thousands of mass graves around the country, the researchers say the number of people killed between 1975 and 1979 could be double the figure of one million that is generally used, out of a population then estimated at seven million.”

The Elect are our Pharisees. In fostering antiracist ideas that actually harm black people, they are obsessed with the letter of the law rather than its spirit, and their prosecution of sinners contrasts with Jesus’s embrace of them. We see in them not the demeanor of someone smoking out something awful–think of unearthing bodies after a mudslide–but the demeanor of someone rejoicing in showing themselves to have smoked out something awful. Their social media posts tend to be the equivalent of someone posting a picture not of the covered-up body they dug out of the mudslide, but of themselves actually in the act of digging the body out, to show that they were the ones who did it. This is the kind of “work” that the Elect are evangelizing America to do.
–From John McWhorter’s “Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America” (2021).
