When Feherenbach mentioned “sensitivity” to race with regard to Anglo-Saxons, I read it as him referring to what we would today call “white guilt”. Do you think that he meant something different?

Hmmm… I can’t say Anglos are any more sensitive to race than anyone else: Scandinavians? Japanese? Bantus? Various Sub-Continentals?

They’ve generated plenty of leisure and wealth; while channeling it toward vanity civil wars; and giving everyone welfare and a lawsuit.

Even if you don’t agree with Fehrenbach (and I don’t completely) he’s worth reading for the sheer political incorrectness of his views, by modern standards. This is true of a lot of literature from the day before yesterday (prior to about 1970 or so…).
