That goes too far, but indeed race is not a forbidden category.
No, it is a make believe category. There is no such thing as "race".

Poor 9/11 since he is so deeply concerned about 'race' I wonder how he handles knowing that European 'whites' are descended from 'blacks' out of Africa?
He'll deny that too.
Probably!
Hey 9/11 if you were dictator like Hitler what would you do with all the non-whites and all the others not within your sight in the Netherlands?
Slavery never was an 'institution' in Africa. The Europeans for 99% paid for blacks who had been captured by other blacks from neigboring tribes and who were subsequently transported, often on jewish owned ships, to America.
Tell me aggle-rithm: what is the African 'cultural advanced' equivalent of:
- Dresden
- Newton's Principia Mathematica
- Chartres Cathedral
- Sea-worthy sailing vessels
- St. Pauls Cathedral
- Rothenburg
- St. Peter Dom in Rome
- The Loire castles in France
- Venice, San Marco
etc., etc., etc.
Success.
P.S. I can only come up with the cultural achievement of the penis sheath. But hey, that's only me, the flaming Nazi gasbag.
P.S.2 for the occasional lurker: the lefty worldview basically is a sort of mental defiency which has to surpress all empirical data in order to uphold an egalitarian phantasy ideology, not unlike the Soviets once had.
P.S.3 We can be rather certain that aggle-rithm will quietly drop the subject.![]()
Is it a matter of need or opportunity?
Most of these are too recent to be relevant. But how's this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Zimbabwe for starters?
Under Ezana Aksum became the first major empire to convert to Christianity and was named by Mani as one of the four great powers of his time along with Persia, Rome, and China.
It makes me feel like a traitor to write this. The Second World War was my religion for most of my life.
Brave, alone, bombed, defiant, we, the British, had won it on our own against the most evil and powerful enemy imaginable
I read the fictional adventures of RAF bomber ace Matt Braddock in the belief that the stories were true, and not caring in the slightest about what happened when his bombs hit the ground. I do now.
So it has been very hard for me since the doubts set in. I didn't really want to know if it wasn't exactly like that. But it has rather forced itself on me..
Now here comes another. On a recent visit to the USA I picked up two new books that are going to make a lot of people in Britain very angry.
What if the Men of Glory didn't need to die or risk their lives? What if the whole thing was a miscalculated waste of life and wealth that destroyed Britain as a major power and turned her into a bankrupt pensioner of the USA?
Funnily enough, these questions echo equally uncomfortable ones I'm often asked by readers here.
The milder version is: "Who really won the war, since Britain is now subject to a German-run European Union?"
The other is one I hear from an ever-growing number of war veterans contemplating modern Britain's landscape of loutishness and disorder and recalling the sacrifices they made for it: "Why did we bother?"
I know Pat Buchanan and respect him, but I have never liked his sympathy for "America First", the movement that tried to keep the USA out of the Second World War.
Baker is also keen to show that Hitler's decision to exterminate the Jews of Europe came only after the war was fully launched, and that before then, although his treatment of the Jews was disgusting and homicidal, it stopped well short of industrialised mass murder.
The implication of this, that the Holocaust was a result of the war, not a cause of it, is specially disturbing.
A lot of people will have trouble, also, with the knowledge that Churchill said of Hitler in 1937, when the nature of his regime was well known: "A highly competent, cool, well informed functionary with an agreeable manner, a disarming smile, and few have been unaffected by a subtle personal magnetism."
Three years later, the semi-official view, still pretty much believed, was that Hitler was the devil in human form and more or less insane.
Blood brothers: By Christmas 1940, Stalin (right) had murdered many more people than Hitler, and had invaded nearly as many countries
We went to war with the Kaiser in 1914 mainly because we feared being overtaken by Germany as the world's greatest naval power. Yet one of the main results of the war was that we were so weakened we were overtaken instead by the USA.
But this is a minor issue beside his surgical examination of Britain's guarantee to help Poland in March 1939. Hitler saw our "stand" as an empty bluff, and called it.
The Poles were crushed and murdered, and their country erased from the map. Hitler's eventual defeat left Poland under the Soviet heel for two generations.
We then embarked on a war which cost us our Empire, many of our best export markets, what was left of our naval supremacy, and most of our national wealth - gleefully stripped from us by Roosevelt in return for Lend-Lease supplies
Would we not have been wiser to behave as the USA did, staying out of it and waiting for Hitler and Stalin to rip out each other's bowels?
Was Hitler really set on a war with Britain or on smashing the British Empire?
Not so simple, is it? Survey the 20th Century and you see Britain repeatedly fighting Germany, at colossal expense.
Therein lies the central fallacy of all Nazi-speak. What is this "white race" you speak of? Is it a fixed historical concept, or one that changes over the millennia? Is it based on skin color, or nationality, or culture, or is it possibly based on descent that traces back to one or another character in the Bible? Cause I'm just not buying it. Face it, niner, you, just like everyone here, is a mongrel.That they will be seen as the traitors of the White Race.
