BLACK OR HISTORY?


In his book, "Might of the West," Lawrence Brown summed up a thousand years of Chinese history in two paragraphs. Obviously a lot more incidents occurred in that period than two paragraphs worth, but only two paragraphs of HISTORY occurred in that period in the Far East.

If we knew every incident that ever occurred in sub-Saharan Africa in the past ten thousand years, we would not have much more HISTORY than we have now.

In the real world, Black History is an oxymoron. Black History doesn't go anywhere and the purpose of history is to show where we are and why.


TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE, THE FIRST QUESTION IS: WHO ARE "WE?"


In order to understand real history in time, we must first face real history in space. When all the Politically Correct horsehockey has been put to bed and the talk gets serious, all mention of the Democratic Republic of the Congo disappears like mist and we begin to discuss real places.

Even when serious discussions go into the possible effect of the non-white world on real history, the analysis is of non-human factors. The third world may be important because of "ITS numbers." The Moslem world may be important because its population happens to be sitting on top of oil. When we get serious about Rwanda, its human population and history are less relevant to us than that of the handful of gorillas who live there.

In other words, when you stop talking horsehockey and your time gets valuable, you get down to priorities. And as we all know, real world priorities can be enormously insulting. Truth is seldom kind and reality is NEVER Politically Correct.

 

 
WHAT ARE OUR SPECIAL REQUIRED FALSEHOODS?
 


Nobody can seriously question the statements I have just made. But everybody is amazed that I made them. That tells us something very important about where we are in real history today.

Obviously we are in a period of history where no one is allowed to speak out unless he lies a lot.

In the real world, the most important factor by far is skin color. If you want proof of how important skin color is, look at the rivers of ink and billions of dollars we spend every month trying to prove it isn't important. At least twice a month, another book is awarded a long list of academic awards for trying, once again, to prove that what we all see is not really there.

If you look at the world the way I do, this can get hilarious.

The "It's all an accident" book that picked up a Pulitzer Prize recently is called "Guns, Germs and Steel." In its second sentence, it informs us that it is going to explain why history unfolded differently on different continents.

The next sentence would knock a sane person's eye out:

"IN CASE THIS QUESTION IMMEDIATELY MAKES YOU SHUDDER AT THE THOUGHT THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ A RACIST TREATISE, YOU SHOULDN'T."

As I say, you simply cannot write a book for the public unless you routinely lie and lie wildly. Even in the long and crowded history of outright lies, this one would be hard to top. No sane reader would think this was a racist book.

If there is one fact we all know today, it is that nobody is going to write a racist book for a mainline publisher. He would be ruined academically and professionally in America and put in prison in the "Western Democracies" of Europe (WOL Worldview · March 16, 2002 - GOING TO PRISON FOR HATE IN EUROPE).

So why on earth would anybody imagine for an instant that a book that got the Pulitzer Prize might be racist?

Try to imagine a future historian looking at this sentence, a historian who is perfectly aware of today's Inquisition on racial discussion. He would be in the position of a specialist in Medieval History reading a book put out by the Spanish Inquisition, complete with the doctrinal Imprimatur, which starts off, "You probably think this is a Lutheran book."

For someone who just got the umpteenth Major Award for writing the umpteenth book proving the doctrine of today's Inquisition for the umpteenth time to say the reader might think it may be a racist book surprises nobody. The fact is that you don't get a public forum in our age unless you start out with a "good, sound, resounding lie."

 

 
WHEN YOU READ, DON'T JUST ***SEE***, ***OBSERVE***
 


We all remember what Sherlock Holmes used tell his dumb-but-loyal assistant and biographer:

"You SEE, Watson, but you do not OBSERVE."

Let us OBSERVE what this sentence that millions have SEEN tells us:

"IN CASE THIS QUESTION IMMEDIATELY MAKES YOU SHUDDER AT THE THOUGHT THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ A RACIST TREATISE, YOU SHOULDN'T."

This wonderful sentence tells an OBSERVER another fundamental truth about our age. And it needs stating clearly because it is an important OBSERVATION:

Despite the fact that thousands of books are written and given awards to prove that the historical importance of skin color is an accident, absolutely nobody believes it.

Nobody really believes that race does not exist or that that the inherited characteristics of race are not important. What the author is here admitting up front is that any serious discussion of why some continents are part of history and others are not would be a racist book.

 

 
A FINAL OBSERVATION
 


People seem constitutionally incapable of talking about history without getting silly.

For example, there is a Great Historical Mystery that asks why all the Great Civilizations built pyramids. Maybe it was Ancient astronauts who showed them how.

Hundreds of books have told us that these Great Civilizations were nonwhite and built pyramids and that shows everybody's equal.

Let me give you another Great Historical Mystery:

A pyramid is a building where the base is wide and it goes to a peak. So why did absolutely none of the Great Civilizations build buildings where the base was in the air and the point was the only thing touching the ground? Did Ancient Astronauts tell them NOT to build pyramids that were upside-down?

By the way, both white and nonwhite Great Civilizations did NOT build upside-down pyramids. That proves everybody is equal. You could get a Major Award out of writing a book about that.
