"Keep the fires burning under the feet of us white folk"
Yes #35, we must continually engage in an cleansing orgy of self-hatred for the fact that our ancestors were the most successful at doing what every other people on the face of the earth all through history sought to do: expand their territory and control more resources. We're just so very evil for doing that! Rotten, evil white men - inventing ships and guns and navigation and thus gaining an advantage for us, their descendants, that any other people in the world would have loved to have had.
We have to continue to work at sidelining, demonizing, and demoralizing ourselves (since these other groups can't seem to get their acts together enough to do it to us themselves) so that hopefully the wonderful, enriching "other" will maybe someday forgive us and like us again. Because we so desperately want to be liked by the rest of the world!
We should never miss an opportunity - including looking at art - to turn it into a preaching lesson on "values". See, everything is about inculcating our values, and erasing the values of those successful white men who built a prosperous, democratic world for us. Only when those white men have been thoroughly vilified in the minds of their great-great grandchildren can we begin to ease up.
