Slavery Is White History

"If you really want to learn about white history, you have to start with the history of slavery." America associates slavery with Black people, but Michael Harriot explains why slavery is more white history than Black history.

According to the National Immigration Forum, proponents of the white nationalist-inspired great replacement theory believe “welcoming immigration policies – particularly those impacting non white immigrants –  are part of a plot designed to undermine or ‘replace’ the political power and culture of white people living in Western countries.” “I don’t subscribe to that,” said Musk, before describing an alternative theory that was a detailed explanation of the great replacement theory without using the words “white people.” In Musk’s convoluted alternative theory, the Democrat-leaning “illegals” counted in the census count are skewing the congressional apportionment and Electoral College count to blue states like California and New York. He went on to clarify that he only quoted the Great Replacement Theory on the platform he owns because he thinks it is something people should consider.

I’VE SEEN BLACK MEN GET ON TIKTOK & VEHEMENTLY EXPRESS THEIR PREFERENCE FOR “AESTHETICALLY NON-BLACK”, “EXOTIC” OR STRAIGHT UP WHITE WOMEN AND THEY FELT COMFORTABLE IN DOING SO.

Some Women challenged these men by arguing that their personal preferences stemmed from western Anti-Black conditioning and internalized self-hatred. They also challenged men who bashed the Black women who were NOT their preference in order to emphasize who they “prefer”.

NOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED & BECAUSE OF THIS VIRAL CONVERSATION BETWEEN IYANLA VANZANT & EBONI K WILLIAMS… A-LOT OF WOMEN ARE PUBLICLY AGREEING WITH WILLAMS .. SAYING THEY WOULD NOT DATE A BLUE COLLAR MAN. BUT UNLIKE BLACK MEN THEY ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING ELSE DEROGATORY ABOUT BLUE COLLAR MEN.

Why is it that BM get come online and be derogatory towards Black women in order to emphasize their preferences …. only to justify their actions by saying - “it’s just a preference” But when women (who are in a higher tax bracket) simply say, they want to date men within their tax bracket? Men are throwing up, sliding down the wall & taking it as a personal attack??

IN A PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY… WOMEN ARE ALWAYS VIEWED AS “WRONG” UNLESS THEY DEVOTE THEIR LIVES TO SERVICING THE PATRIARCHY.

Reni Lodge has a book : Why I’m no longer talking to white people about race… similarly women need to stop talking about (love, dating, marriage) around men. The male masses will always promote the oppressive systems that men benefit from the most.

Michael Harriot has written a lengthy and detailed documentation of South Carolina's War on Education. Make a cup of tea before you settle in to digest it. There are four parts: part one above, two, three, and four.

If you scroll down to Harriot's screenshot of the endnotes on the anti-CRT primer, you see his highlighting of Christopher Rufo. But a sharp WutBJU reader saw something else. All BJU students from the 1990s would see it too:

Joshua Matthew Dunn, BJU Class of 1995.

Professor Dunn doesn't like to highlight his BJU connections, but they are all over his scholarship.

His dad, Professor Charles W. Dunn, was well known for "preaching" in his Clemson classroom. WYFF would always highlight Professor Dunn at election time. If you want to read his not-yet-quaint screeds against President Obama, you can go to his old blogger blog.

Who's surprised that Charles Dunn's progeny would be part of the next wave of Klandamentalism?

God help us all.

I’ve always been a fruitcake, but I’m the only one in the household who is. After reading this, maybe next year I’ll go with Black Cake. Sounds like I should start soaking the fruit soon.

I made TheGrio Holiday List! 🥰

Former Jacksonville Jaguars player Myles Jack and his mother, LaSonjia Jack, just became one of the few Black majority owners of an East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) team.

Shortly after retiring from football in August, the 28-year-old is making major money moves as a businessman. The ex-linebacker recently acquired the Allen Americans, the East Coast Hockey League affiliate of the ENHL’s Ottawa Senators, reported The Grio.

Though the Jacks were initially credited by the league as the first Black majority owners, Herb Washington, who is also Black, once owned the Central Hockey League’s Youngstown SteelHounds.

Dr. King was murdered with a DEER RIFLE!

Notwithstanding that Irsay repeatedly misspelled the name of his beloved negro pseudomatriarch, every Black person has met a version of “Black Mother Dorthy.” In most cases, the conveniently cherished proof of racial tolerance goes unnamed. Somehow, when a white person asserts: “One of my best friends is Black,” their Black buddy is somehow never around. But in some other cases, well-meaning white people will confirm their immunity to bigotry by trotting out the African-American adoptee, describing the minority neighborhood where they once lived or citing the Black person they dated in college.
