"...so why do I need to throw all of you into detention? Because you haven't been paying enough attention to the fact that our nation's culture is not only created in our schools but that it is our children who are leading the development of that culture in our schools adult authority is long gone. So here I am ringing the alarm. In 20 years many of us will be retired or sadly dead, and the children in our schools will be in important and influential positions in our institutions. As G.K Chesterton said the true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him but because he loves what is behind him. Well, I'm asking how much do you love your country, how much do you love the values that you claim to defend? Do you love them enough to tweet under your own name do you love them enough to change your child's school to one that's less woke and ignore the impact on your social status? Do you love them enough to do more than simply chat to your friends who already agree with you at dinner parties. For Heaven's sake man, stand up and be counted! As Russell Crowe says in the film Gladiator (a clip I regularly play for my staff): 'Hold the line! Stay with me!... what we do in life... echoes in eternity. Will your life echo hollow with cowardly hypocrisy or will it echo with courage, valiance and honour? The choice is yours strength and honour be with you all!' Now get yourselves to detention!"

#MagazineUSMITPressReader #EDUSEMalmoUniversitetMartinLund "The essentialism of racial thinking took long to develop. Ancient Greeks, Romans, and others displayed varieties of xenophobia, but almost always with an 'escape hatch' in conversion or assimilation. Slow movements toward essentialism in prejudices about European Jewry and Black Africans took place over centuries. While anti-Judaism had been part and parcel of Christianity almost from its inception, it wasn't until the 12th and 13th centuries that some began to speak about an insurmountable difference between Jews and Gentiles. And although the association of the color black with evil has long roots, it didn't translate everywhere into anti-Black sentiment. Spanish anti-Judaism started to include ideas about the purity of blood (limpieza de sangre) in the 14th and 15th centuries, framed in terms of whether someone was Christian or not, rather than in terms of white and nonwhite, but it stands as a historical 'segue between the religious intolerance of the Middle Ages and the naturalistic racism of the modern era,' writes historian and author George M. Fredrickson, in its incipient biologization of difference. Similarly, while it was never universally accepted, the so-called curse of Ham gradually connected Black Africans with Noah's son Ham, who was cursed by his father to be a servant. The curse was the basis for centuries of debate about the legitimacy of enslaving Black people; some used it to motivate enslavement, and others to oppose it." https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/a-prehistory-of-scientific-racism/ #MetaphorSpatialHierarchyScalaNaturaeGreatChainOfBeing #OtheringHateXenophobia #PolicyCulturalAssimilation #BeliefReligiousConversion [Wikipedia] #MetaphorPeriodizationClassicalAntiquity [Wikipedia] #OtheringHateAntisemitism #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #ToponymAfrica_ #BeliefTheismChristianity #MetaphorPeriodization12thCentury #MetaphorPeriodization13thCentury #MetaphorPurityRace #MetaphorPeriodizationMiddleAges #IRLAuthorGeorgeFredrickson #PhenomnBiologization #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleOTBookOfGenesis [Wikipedia] #MetaphorNoahsArk #PowerControlChattelSlavery #BehaviourNormalisation

"The fact that until the end of the 1620s more Britons lived in North Africa than North America is largely overlooked, and historians have concentrated instead on the looming prizes of the New World rather than the allure and danger of the Barbary states. North African privateers--largely driven by western maritime technology and renegade captives from Europe--regularly captured English and colonial sailing vessels, and the captives were frequently exchanged for much needed hard currency. The slave traffic, of course, ran in both directions as British and Maltese corsairs captured 'Barbary Pirates,' and the exchange of captives became regularized and an important aspect of the Mediterranean economy. Matar theorizes that the North African conflict received little attention by contemporary writers simply because Europeans were often overpowered at sea and, as he has shown in his earlier work, Christians regularly converted to Islam.

Genetic studies show that the high frequencies of this variant allele in European populations may be associated with a substantial reduction in regional heterozygosity (Lamason et al., 2005; Soejima et al, 2006). This tends to tie in with other molecular genetic research that has shown Europeans to have among the world's lowest levels of genetic variation which results in lower heterozygosity levels (Weber et al, 2002; Watkins et al 2003). Heterozygosity is thought to enhance resistance of hosts to infectious diseases, offers a greater degree of fitness for one or the other allele, and improves overall health (Gangestad & Buss 1993, Thornhill & Gangestad 1993). Reduced levels of genetic variation and heterozygosity have also been linked to lower reproductive and evolutionary fitness (Lacy 1987; Reed and Frankham, 2003)."

"Eighty years ago, two young African-American men, Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith, were lynched in the town center of Marion, Ind. The night before, on Aug. 6, 1930, they had been arrested and charged with the armed robbery and murder of a white factory worker, Claude Deeter, and the rape of his companion, Mary Ball.
That evening, local police were unable to stop a mob of thousands from breaking into the jail with sledgehammers and crowbars to pull the young men out of their cells and lynch them.
News of the lynching spread across the world. Local photographer Lawrence Beitler took what would become the most iconic photograph of lynching in America. The photograph shows two bodies hanging from a tree surrounded by a crowd of ordinary citizens, including women and children. Thousands of copies were made and sold. The photograph helped inspire the poem and song 'Strange Fruit' written by Abel Meeropol -- and performed around the world by Billie Holiday.

The given year of the image is important -- 1948 -- as it marks the emergence of the Dixiecrats, who left the Democratic Party in 1948 over its rising interest in civil rights. In that context, the photo functions as a warning to blacks and those who would support them in their freedom struggle. ...
The idea of former slaves literally clasping the hands of a Klansmen - dressed as Santa Claus, no less -- and sitting next to a radio seems to create a studied photo in which the Klan is merging examples of American modernity with those of its enslaved past. There is also the nagging sense that this is simply an absurd parody of Klan bravado. The idea of former slaves sitting with Klansmen seems to at least suggest a mockery of Klan pretensions of power and acceptance."

This typical Dutch act is performed by a colorful group which is dressed to perfection in the Baroque style from the Golden Age. The dog from the 'Night Watch' is also included and makes it complete. The basic performance consists of an 'unexpected' arrival of the company in the hall, whether or not between your guests.
Preceded by drummers, the company walks straight out of the Golden Age into the event, with astonishing audiences as a result. The audience is blown away and doesn't know what to expect. Once on stage, the extras get into position. There is beautiful bombastic, classical music and the drummers give a roll!

Supplementary: #1965_VotingRightsAct i.e. "This act was signed into law on August 6, 1965, by President Lyndon Johnson. It outlawed the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests as a prerequisite to voting.
This 'act to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution' was signed into law 95 years after the amendment was ratified. In those years, African Americans in the South faced tremendous obstacles to voting, including poll taxes, literacy tests, and other bureaucratic restrictions to deny them the right to vote. They also risked harassment, intimidation, economic reprisals, and physical violence when they tried to register or vote. As a result, African-American voter registration was limited, along with political power.
In 1964, numerous peaceful demonstrations were organized by Civil Rights leaders, and the considerable violence they were met with brought renewed attention to the issue of voting rights. The murder of voting-rights activists in Mississippi and the attack by white state troopers on peaceful marchers in Selma, Alabama, gained national attention and persuaded President Johnson and Congress to initiate meaningful and effective national voting rights legislation. The combination of public revulsion to the violence and Johnson's political skills stimulated Congress to pass the voting rights bill on August 5, 1965."

From the 1960s-90s Johnson was predominantly known among academics who studied slavery, but interest in his (misrepresented) life has recently gained traction with the advent of digital sharing, discussion sites, and public forums. For instance, as of July 12, 2019 Johnson's Wikipedia page claims he was a 'colonist' sold by 'Arab slave traders,' though there is no citation for the latter claim, nor is it supported by historians. It was likely added by a user who hoped to redirect blame from the Atlantic Slave Trade toward the 'Arab Slave Trade,' a popular talking point among right-wing commentators. In his podcast disputing reparations for slavery, conservative pundit Michael Knowles reiterated this myth about Johnson without reviewing the available literature.

*Culture warriors denounce slave princess*
Born into a sultan's harem in #1844_, Princess Sayyidda Salme survived slavery, zealots and exile but appears to have fallen foul of political correctness. Princess Salme was the youngest daughter of 36 children of Said bin Sultan Al-Said, the sultan of Zanzibar and Oman. Her mother was a Circassian concubine, bought for the sultan at Zanzibar's slave market. In keeping with tradition, Salme was given her freedom at the age of 18. Shunned by relatives for backing the wrong brother in a power struggle after her father's death, she lived in Stone Town, the European quarter of the island, now part of Tanzania. She became pregnant to Rudolph Heinrich, a Hamburg trader, and returned with him to Germany, where she lived as Emily Ruete until she died in 1924. She challenged perceptions of East Africa and the Orient and worked to alleviate the suffering of children. A multilinguist, she wrote her autobiography, Memoirs of an Arabian Princess, which was published in 1886 and translated into French, Arabic and other languages. She is buried in Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg, where her grave is deemed of historic importance and a memorial to commemorate her was raised in 2007. Under pressure last year from the Greens and Social Democrats, the local municipality named a square after her. Barely was it agreed, however, when Hamburg Postcolonial, a movement dedicated to eradicating remnants of the city's colonial past, accused her of racist views, and favouring slavery and polygamy. The honour was rescinded by the politicians who proposed it. With a general election next month, these issues have gained prominence on the left. The princess was deemed not to have sufficiently condemned the slavery that brought great riches to Zanzibar and the Arabian peninsula. In her memoirs, she wrote: "The sole difference between an oriental woman's situation and a western woman seems to be that the first knows the number and character of her rivals, whereas the other is kept in charming ignorance." Spurred on by the Hamburger Abendblatt daily newspaper, citizens wrote letters demanding that the square be named to honour the princess. The Emily-Ruete-Platz signs remain but the vote to revoke the decision has not been reversed. Her square is difficult to find because since it is not official it no longer appears on navigation apps. Not for the first time, Princess Salme finds herself in limbo, caught between two cultures worlds apart. Her memory is valued, however, in the Princess Saline Museum in Zanzibar. Said el-Gheithy, its curator, said: "She was a pioneer in terms of cross-cultural commentary and was the first woman to record her observations about the way of life in Germany and Zanzibar."

#ReasoningFallacyStrawman i.e. because our modern understanding of slavery has evolved with humanity (and therefore a prior understanding exists, which wasn't critical) any attempt to conceptualise the practice as anything other than critical can supposedly be deemed disingenuous: "Tegelijkertijd is er veel af te dingen op Halsema's toespraak en het rapport. Ten eerste betekent het bestempelen van de Nederlandse betrokkenheid bij slavernij als een misdaad tegen de menselijkheid een onverantwoorde uitholling van die term. Het heeft weinig zin om iets wat in grote delen van de wereld eeuwenlang de normaalste zaak van de wereld was als zodanig te benoemen. Het leed van de totslaafgemaakten was verschrikkelijk, maar was daarmee nog niet fout. Althans, niet door de ogen van destijds. Het besef dat slavernij onacceptabel en on-menselijk is, dateert pas vanaf het einde van de iade eeuw.Toen ontstond het idee dat mensen gelijk zijn én de behoefte om slaver-nij te rechtvaardigen. Die historische nuance ontbreekt in het rapport en in Halsema's toe-spraak Ten tweede, in de ogen van nu zijn sla-vernij en slavenhandel afschuwelijk, maar wie is of was ervoor verantwoordelijk? Na-mens wie moet de regering excuses aan-bieden? Halsema was buitengewoon te-genstrijdig op dit punt."

Supplementary: "One of the Socratic fallacies that still permeates our culture is the idea that those who defend unjust ideas must be stupid or ignorant. We assume that the axioms of justice must be clear to anyone who has reasoned about them sufficiently; it follows that anyone who endorses injustice as enthusiastically as Samuel Francis did must be incapable of such reasoning. Alas, intellectual history bears sad witness to the fact that many defenders of the worst injustices were neither stupid nor ignorant. Francis, for example, was an undeniably erudite man, and he made an original contribution to radical-right theory. The major themes of his thought are dispossession and resentment. Even more than most other right-wing thinkers, Francis was fixated on the many ways the unworthy had taken something that rightly belonged to people like him." https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/sam-francis-matt-mcmanus-trump-reactionary-middle-america #IRLHistoricalFigureSocrates #MetaphorVersusIntelligenceIgnorance #IRLWhiteNationalistSamuelFrancis [The Southern Poverty Law Center] #OrgSyndicateAccordConservativeEcosystem #PoliticsEgalitarianism #PowerControlInegalitarianism [Wiktionary]

"It has already been four months since the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Frédérique Vidal, V announced an investigation into Islamo-leftism at universities. Since this date, no official communication on the announced report. As if the loud cries uttered, from petitions to press releases, by hundreds of academics, Conference of University Presidents (CPU) and CNRS in the lead, in the name of academic freedom and the non-existence of said Islamo-leftism arguments which, moreover, were contradictory - had immediately overcome the ministerial concern. Further: instead of being content with this discreet burial, some protesters have just filed an appeal before the Council of State against the initiative of Frédérique Vidal, wishing, it seems, to make him pay for his initial desire. Unless the very recent and discreet signal from the ministry (the work continues) has reignited their fear? Regardless, this excess of outraged virtue proves counterproductive. Courageous voices (Pascal Bruckner, Pierre-André Taguieff, Philippe d'Iribarne, Nathalie Heinich, Mathieu Bock-Côté, among others), are rising to denounce the ongoing intellectual and political drift. A report from the Observatory of Decolonialism and Identity Ideologies, composed of academics, has just, given the ministerial silence, drawn up an edifying inventory: themes of conferences, titles of works and articles, job profiles or calls for projects show the impressive penetration of the new progressive science into French research. Because this movement goes far beyond Islamo-leftism alone. In fact, it aims to be, according to its own words, 'intersectional', that is to say, pointing out the convergence of <discriminations>>>> based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, ability physical, etc. However, far from being in the minority as it readily presents itself, the intersectional paradigm, as the Observatory of Decolonialism has just calculated, weighs no less than half of the items listed in the databases. in social sciences.

An additional 15.4 million people are estimated to be living in forced marriages.
Of the 24.9 million people trapped in forced labour, the majority (16 million) work in the private sector. Slaves clean houses and flats; produce the clothes we wear; pick the fruit and vegetables we eat; trawl the seas for the shrimp on our restaurant plates; dig for the minerals used in our smartphones, makeup and electric cars; and work on construction jobs building infrastructure for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Another 4.8 million people working in forced labour are estimated to be sexually exploited, while roughly 4.1 million people are in state-sanctioned forced labour, which includes governmental abuse of military conscription and forced construction or agricultural work. In certain countries such as Mauritania, people are born into 'hereditary' slavery if their mother was a slave.
Again, women and girls bear the brunt of these statistics, comprising 99% of all victims in the commercial sex industry, and 58% in other sectors, according to the ILO." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/feb/25/modern-slavery-trafficking-persons-one-in-200 #ToponymAfricaNorthwestMauritania

Supplementary: #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianRobertBaird "Of course, it's important not to overstate the case: the evolution of the idea of whiteness was messy and often indistinct. As the historian Nell Irvin Painter has cautioned, 'white identity didn't just spring to life full-blown and unchanging'. It had important antecedents that included a growing sense of a pan-European identity; longstanding cultural associations that saw white as a symbol of purity and virtue; and bog-standard ethnocentrism.
Still, with only slightly exaggerated precision, we can say that one of the most crucial developments in 'the discovery of personal whiteness' took place during the second half of the 17th century, on the peripheries of the still-young British empire. What's more, historians such as Oscar and Mary Handlin, Edmund Morgan and Edward Rugemer have largely confirmed Du Bois's suspicion that while xenophobia appears to be fairly universal among human groupings, the invention of a white racial identity was motivated from the start by a need to justify the enslavement of Africans. In the words of Eric Williams, a historian who later became the first prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago, 'slavery was not born of racism: rather, racism was the consequence of slavery'." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/apr/20/the-invention-of-whiteness-long-history-dangerous-idea #WebsiteStuffWhitePeopleLikeSWPL [Wikipedia] #MetaphorPeriodization17thCentury #PhenomnWhiteness #IRLAuthorTaNehisiCoates #IRLSociologistWilliamEdwardBurghardtDuBois #IRLHistorianNellIrvinPainter #ToponymEmpireBritish #IRLHistorianOscarHandlin #IRLHistorianMaryFlugHandlin #IRLHistorianEdmundMorgan #EDUUSYaleUniversityEdwardRugemer #OtheringHateXenophobia #PowerControlChattelSlavery #IRLHistorianEricWilliams [Wikipedia] #ToponymCaribbeanTrinidadAndTobago

Context: "Robert David Steele, the conspiracy theorist who organized a far-right event in Belfast in July and called COVID-19 a hoax, has reportedly died of the disease.
Steele, a former CIA officer, was hospitalized with COVID-19 in early August, shortly after he spoke to a large crowd at the Crosby Center.
Known for anti-Semitic beliefs and falsely asserting that NASA operates a child slave colony on Mars, Steele was also a promoter of the sprawling QAnon conspiracy that centers on the baseless idea that former President Donald Trump will vanquish a shadowy cabal of Democratic pedophiles." https://www.mainepublic.org/politics/2021-08-30/conspiracy-theorist-who-spoke-at-far-right-rally-in-maine-dies-of-covid-19 #OrgUSFedCIA #PhenomnVirusCOVID19 #ConspiracyTheoryCOVID19PandemicDenialHoax #OrgUSFedNASA #ToponymSpaceSolarSystemMars #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #PowerControlViolationPaedophiliaPaedophileRing

The video conflates the destruction of world heritage artefacts such as the #OrgAFTaliban demolishing Bamiyan Buddhas in #ToponymAfghanistan and Daesh demolishing statues in the Ninevah Museum in Mosul, Iraq with protests over the killing of #IRLDeceasedGeorgeFloyd in May 2020. In doing so, an equivalence is being made between the despicable vandalism of the Taliban and #OrgSyndicateTerrorismISISDaeshISIL and those #PhenomnStatueToppling celebrating #PowerControlChattelSlavery-traders. #CauseBlackLivesMatterBLM

"After an exhaustive search of over 327,000 entries, baby food and clothing giant Gerber has announced the winner of its 10th Annual Photo Search.
Besides the stylish headwrap, Magnolia Earl was chosen as the 2020 Gerber Spokesbaby because of her 'joyful expression, playful smile and warm, engaging gaze,' Gerber noted on its website." https://spokesman-recorder.com/2020/05/08/introducing-magnolia-the-2020-gerber-spokesbaby/
Supplementary: "Along with other 'controlling images' of African-Americans such as the Sambo, the Jezebel and the Sapphire, the mammy was a creation of white supremacy, intended to bolster and legitimise the status quo. Or, put more simply, the US were so desperate to be absolved of the crimes of slavery, that such an absolver -- maternal, asexual, ever-loyal and black -- had to be invented." https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20190530-rom-mammy-to-ma-hollywoods-favourite-racist-stereotype #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryMammy #OtheringCaricatureSlaverySambo #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryJezebel #OtheringCaricatureSlaverySapphire #PowerControlChattelSlavery #TheoryMyth #PowerControllingImages [pdf]

Supplementary: "Donald J. Trump has won the presidency of the United States, due to strong support among white voters. This is a remarkable turn of events, and it only gets more remarkable when you think back to how the Republican Party began its existence: fighting against the expansion of slavery. Over the past century and a half, though, the party of Abraham Lincoln has changed dramatically. It went from a party that was racially progressive for its times, to one that gets little support from nonwhite voters. And it went from a Northern-only party, to one that dominates the South."
