Why American & French History Won't Tell Everything

The Haitian Revolution (1791–1804)

Here's a "fun fact," rarely told (in a way that makes sense) in American history:

The deal known as "The Louisiana Purchase" (which famously doubled the size of the United States on the cheap) was only offered to Thomas Jefferson because France's plantations had been overthrown by blacks - France needed to get some money, quick, because they knew there wouldn't be more coming from slavery in Haiti.

So, considering the black Haitian's role in fucking up France's plans for world domination, is it any wonder why America and France insure Haiti stays one of the poorest places on Earth today?

While Our Wonderful Whites Are Out - Pursuing Things

“I feel like I was robbed of my happiness.”

New York's Highest Black Corrections Officer Resigns Over White's Indifference To The Hell Hole They Create

He even looks like MLK

Of course, he's black, because whites are too busy fulfilling the rapist, Thomas Jefferson's, "pursuit of happiness" to fix things:

  William Clemons, the highest-ranking uniformed officer of New York City's Correction Department, will resign, it was announced today, because—well, because Rikers Island is a really, truly, unimaginably awful place.

Clemons' "retirement" comes after reports that violence regularly went unreported in the jail's juvenile facility, that guards brutally beat mentally ill inmates, that violence among guards often goes unpunished, and that healthcare in the jail ranges from "substandard" to "nonexistent." 

 Boy - add in the fact that whites send blacks to prison on trumped up charges and that sounds just awful,...

 

It's Fitting That A Slave Owner, Racist, And Rapist, Said "The Pursuit Of Happiness" Is What America's About

If Washington & Jefferson Knew Slavery Was Wrong (& Did It Anyway) What Hope Is There For Their Admirers?

It's especially disheartening - and revealing - to wake up remembering the men and women who understood, at the time, the ugliness the American Founders were engaged in with slavery.

Much like their white admirers, today, the Founders didn't give a damn about right and wrong - or friends with ethically-correct perceptions of the world around them.

They cared, mostly, about their wallets, and if grinding up people's lives to fatten themselves was the price to be paid, then so be it.

This is hardly admirable.

And trying to make it so is also not an education - which is about truth - but propaganda, which is concerned with indoctrination.

America's a racist cult - deadly as sin - and it's been going on for hundreds of years now.

Americans, continually told to look up to those we should be looking down upon, and kept too stupid to know the difference - because white's self-imposed ignorance keeps them happy.

This is the reality of black lives.

And why so many others feel like ending theirs.

I figure I've got about 10-12 years of this horror, left, tops.

But, if I don't make it, believe me - it's totally cool,…

 

A Thomas Jefferson-Didn't-Know-Slavery's-Wrong Issue

Two guys who are not big fans of the facts - just chatting away.

Adam Corolla's mutterings remind me that America was founded by Thomas Jefferson, the man who wrote "All Men Are Created Equal" while owning slaves. Corolla speaks of himself (not the government) "giving" money to people who, he full well knows, are expecting money to be returned - and he's smart enough to know these are not the same thing. Corolla is really seeing himself as a white elitist, dispensing charity, rather than just a white guy who's incapable of grasping the truth:

We're the Founding Fathers, capishe?

This is about the nation admitting to, and paying for, a crime. 

"If they shop at Whole Foods, we shop somewheres else."

Most of what else Corolla says is just as ill-informed and misguided.

“Never did a man achieve more fame for what he did not do.”

Homeopathic - made in France - must be good!

Long story-short, Corolla's another member of The New Worried Well (who we should show concern for) endorsing rape and plunder, while Dave Chappelle haunts their dreams, and acts out their nightmares:

Blacks can now read the conservative mind before it can think of something to say.

Why Can't Glenn Reynolds' Readers Catch His Racism?

So, I see Der Tennessee Fuhrer - I mean The Blogfather - is getting a little upset with the anti-racism forces these days:

  "HOW TO RESPOND TO 'CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE' BULLSHIT: 'What you call "privilege" is just me being better than you.'”

Awww, the gun-toting guy (on the wrong side of almost every recent racial issue) has decided to help his ridiculous cult dig deeper, by linking to an article by a jerk, Kurt Schlichter, who's not - repeat: NOT trying to be like "adherents of a political party that made a KKK kleagle its Senate majority leader" - while advocating being EXACTLY like the political party that made a KKK kleagle its Senate majority leader. Think I'm kidding? Think again:

Blacks "are inferior to the whites in the endowments of both of body and mind." 

 - Thomas Jefferson, 1787, suffering from "a deeply troubling, unsure and unapologetic racism"

But racism can't be what Glenn Reynolds (Gasp! A Law Professor!) is suffering from, too, can he? "Me being better than you" sure sounds like it to me - what was this, if not racism?

Blacks are "a subordinate and inferior class of beings who had been subjugated by the dominant race."

- Chief Justice Roger Taney, Dred Scott v. Sandford, 1856 

Appointed Attorney General by Andrew Jackson in 1831 

Appointed Secretary of the Treasury by Andrew Jackson in 1833 

Appointed to the Supreme Court by Andrew Jackson in 1836

So is it racism or not? And, if Reynolds is so smart, why does he think going around telling people he's "better" than they are is such a grand idea? Remember, Glenn Reynolds is advocating this "me being better than you"" approach from the perch of someone who's clearly benefited from the country's racist history and biases, as he tells other white guys to rub it in the oppressed's faces:

"The Almighty has fixed the distinction of the races; the Almighty has made the black man inferior, and, sir, by no legislation, by no military power, can you wipe out this distinction."

--Rep. Fernando Wood (D., N.Y.), 1865 Mayor of New York City, 1855-58, 1860-62

How Reynolds and Schlichter can hate the Democrat's association with the Klan of yesteryear is beyond my understanding, when blacks (like me) keep telling conservatives (like them) the Right IS the Klan today. That everyone else is noticing - for instance, the similarities I'm pointing to, here, in rhetoric - that's what has the white supremacists going crazy:

"My fellow citizens, I have said that the contest before us was one for the restoration of our government; it is also one for the restoration of our race. It is to prevent the people of our race from being exiled from their homes--exiled from the government which they formed and created for themselves and for their children, and to prevent them from being driven out of the country or trodden under foot by an inferior and barbarous race."

--Francis P. Blair Jr., accepting the Democratic nomination for Vice President, 1868 Democratic Senator from Missouri, 1869-72 His statue stands in the U.S. Capitol.

And Glen Reynolds is their (self-chosen?) online political leader:

 Won any elections lately, oh great "people smarter than they are"?

BTW - Tennessee comes in at Number Four in "The Top Ten Most Racist States In the U.S." so, yeah, I guess fuck checking your privilege and check your sources for online information instead,…

 

1 Group Waiting For Another To Catch Up Isn't A "Race"

It's O.K., Baby, it's over now.

I know, it ruins that beautiful Thomas Jefferson/Sally Hennings storyline, but - like Jefferson - blacks have needs, too:

I NEED WHITE PEOPLE TO STOP PRETENDING CONSENT WAS POSSIBLE DURING SLAVERY.

STOP LYING TO YOURSELVES THAT THOSE BLACK COUSINS ARE THE RESULT OF ILLICIT LOVE AFFAIRS & GRASP THAT SLAVES COULD NOT SAY NO.

WHEN CONSENT IS NOT AN OPTION, WHEN YOU’RE ONLY SEEN AS 3/5THS OF A HUMAN BEING & YOU HAVE NO LEGAL STANDING? YOU CAN’T SAY YES.

I NEED WHITE AMERICA TO SIT DOWN FOR A SEC. LOOK INTO THE FACES OF BLACK AMERICANS WITH THE SAME LAST NAMES & FIGURE IT THE FUCK OUT.

OUR ANCESTORS WERE RAPED BY YOUR ANCESTORS. REGULARLY. SOME OF THE KIDS WERE TREATED KINDLY. MOST WERE NOT. THEY WERE SOLD.

Imagine this book is about looking at your lightened skin in the mirror.

One day, once we're all on the same page, we might be able to make something beautiful out of it.

Put your pants on.

Thomas Jefferson: Radical and Racist

In the multiracial American future Jefferson will not be thought of as the Sage of Monticello. His flaws are beyond redemption. The sound you hear is the crashing of a reputation

ADDED - From The Root:

  Thomas Jefferson Was a Racist, Period

White Culture: Why Black People Have Always Suffered

Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence and called slavery an “abominable crime,” yet he was a lifelong slaveholder,...28% of the American population was enslaved in 1790,...the paradox of slavery in Jefferson’s world is relevant for generations beyond Jefferson’s lifetime.

Like generations of black Americans growing to hate whites?

American whites did something, extremely bad, for a long, long time.

The depravity of gangsta culture? I know where that come from.

It was white America's lack of regard for human life - or, as one Althouse commenter recently stated, an "indifference" to it - that attitude is confirmed as a 400-year old historical fact.

Could hundreds of years, working for nothing under a mind-blowing level of white violence, have made black America poor today, too?

And isn't white America responsible for settling the debt?

Do whites ever consider, after the Civil War (which whites today are happy to talk about) the country reneged on every political agreement it made with blacks, and then laid on 100 years of new Jim Crow restrictions - which whites aren't too keen to talk about now - when judging how some blacks feel about whites, and the country?

Do they consider white culture invented covering black men in honey before making them sit on anthills? White culture filled our mouths with feces? White culture raped and whipped and castrated and chopped limbs - and what they didn't do, they made blacks do to each other?

Skinning black people to make furniture, public lynchings with children, picnic baskets, and religion, in tow - what does that do to a people - and what does it say about the white culture of our captors?

Honestly - would you be "happy" to live with the people who did all this to your family for hundreds of years?

"The lynching of two married African-American couples, known in some circles as the “Lynching At Moore’s Ford Bridge,” took place in Northern Georgia on this day in 1946. An angry mob of White men attacked the couples, with one of the wives seven months pregnant and a man in the group an Army veteran of World War II."

Whites also like to pretend this legacy is "ancient history", but it was going on long after I was born, and of age to know about it.

I knew when Malcolm X was murdered, and watched MLK's funeral with my own eyes - am I supposed to forget why whites killed them?

Am I supposed to deny every single thing my family said happened to them, by the hands of whites, just to survive with them now?

Whites today say the problem is black culture, but that's simply a dodge for the sins of white culture before, and since, because whites still insist on it.

Generally, American whites always insist on getting their way - and they fetishize sex and money above all else - maintaining their status quo through brutal violence.

"Shoe's on the other foot....the black man is failing Madison."

Here's another well-known historical fact about American white people:

When faced with blacks, they have a really strong inclination for trying to twist reality.

I think that's why white NewAgers have to "find themselves":

They can't imagine what anyone else could recognize them for,...
