All the Politically Correct sources say that American
history is racist.
But nobody dares to go into how this attitude shows
itself.
New York State recently approved a textbook for general
use, which declared simply that, "All whites are racist."
It was pulled at the last minute. New York authorities
suddenly realized how fatal it would be to their holier-than-thou
attitudes if people really started looking closely
at the attitudes of whites who call themselves "antiracist."
This is because Whites who are "antiracist" have
thoroughly white supremacist attitudes. But their
racism is so deeply ingrained that they don't even
know it's there.
There is nothing like total self-righteousness to
keep you from realizing your own shortcomings.
For example, everybody always tells me over and over
and over again that the Chinese invented paper and
gunpowder before it was in the West. I cannot have
heard that less than fifty or sixty times in the last
decade. Every literate person has.
Why do we keep hearing about Chinese gunpowder and
Chinese paper? The population of China has consistently
been equal to or bigger than the entire population
of the West. Yet everybody has to repeat to everybody
at least once a month that they had paper and gunpowder
before Europe did.
Why is it such a major news item that the Chinese,
a consistent one in five of the whole world population,
invented some things before we did?
The reason for this is that, to self-styled antiracist
whites, the idea that nonwhites invented anything
is something we just assume to be front-page news.
This endless repetition, which is supposed to be the
very epitome of antiracism, is one of the best illustrations
of how our view of the world is so deeply racist we
don't even notice it when it is shouted in our faces
as antiracism.
