Panama (2014) – Why Do White People Possess a Terrible Sense of Direction (Spanish Sources)? (4.5.2023)

Overtime, however, the emphasis was usually toward voluntary mixing – although large (and remote) areas of Panama still retain tribes of indigenous people who avoid any prolonged contact with outsiders. Today, White Europeans (and their American counterparts) tend to possess a demeaning attitude toward what they perceive to be the ‘inferior’ non-White Panamanian population. This attitude of utter disrespect was compounded by the 1989 US invasion of Panama and the overthrow of its Cuba-friendly government (the local people have been forced by the US to abandon their pro-Cuba and pro-Socialist attitudes). As a consequence, many indigenous people talk of the US soldiers raping, torturing and killing the local population.

Panama: Kris Kremers & Lisanne Froon – ‘White’ Privilege – Even in Death! (3.5.2023) 

I do not necessarily believe that Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon were murdered by locals – at least not deliberately. As to whether they were the victims of criminal gangs is another matter – who knows? I suspect they became lost, disorientated and disorganised. This spiralling of events cost them their lives. As tragic as this undoubtedly was – people go missing and die all the time in Panama – people of all ethnic backgrounds and cultural affiliations. Why, then, are these two women treated as if they are something ‘special’? The fawning over Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon – as if they were both Super Models – is as laughable as it is disturbing. It is as if the White community is attempting to deify these two young women – who did nothing for humanity and achieved little with their lives. This harsh assessment is dialectically required not as an attack on Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon – but rather as a ‘corrective’ to the incessant muddle-headed approach this case attracts throughout social media. It is the presence of Eurocentric racism which pushes us into this cul-de-sac of reality – from which we must collectively escape. The Panamanian victims of (historical) Eurocentric racism did not murder these two young women.
