000-washington-10-30Chapter 13 of Dr. Benjamin Wiker’s opus, “10 Books that Screwed up the World,” has a remarkable critique of “Coming of Age in Samoa” by the anthropologist Margaret Mead. This secular scripture of the left is a logical fallacy created out of whole cloth in the mind of a young graduate student in anthropology who in 1925 sailed to the island of Tau in American Samoa. According to Wiker, Mead’s work in essence explained “how the pansexual paradise described in ‘Coming of Age in Samoa’ turned out to be a creation of her own sexual confusions and aspirations” – a Freudian psychological projection she wrote with fanatical zeal as a curse on American society.

To the extent that Mead’s work was immediately and universally heralded by the academy and throughout progressive, socialist and liberal circles was not only an affirmation of the hedonistic times of the “Roaring Twenties” and the Jazz Age when the book was published, in 1928, Mead’s propagandistic attack against the Judeo-Christian sexual morality of the West by slandering the Samoan culture more pointedly is a prophetic utterance of the even more revolutionary times to come during America’s sexual revolutions of the 1960s and ’70s, from which the nation has never recovered.

  1. Dear Mr. Washington, your writing skills are phenomenal. I tend to think I have an ‘ability’ to recognize brilliance: you are brilliant, with a twist. You are very well educated, as are others, but, your communications skills are the best I have witnessed. A high school graduate and a Rhodes scholar could both comprehend your writings at the same level. Thank you

    Ps: consider a run for President. We need someone like you!
