People who believe in extraterrestrial life are sometimes referred to in a mocking manner. In the ‘X-Files’ TV-series Fox Mulder is often referred to as ‘Spooky,’ but according to a recent article, maybe he should be called ‘racist’– if Mulder believes that aliens built the pyramids in Africa.
The Quartz Media article, “Outlandish theories that aliens built the pyramids are rooted in racism,” by Julien Benoit is critical of those who believe the pyramids or other ancient structures were built by aliens.
Some may call this belief simply "odd," but Benoit just out and out labels it racist.
From the article:
Well, you may ask, so what? Who cares if relatively few people don’t believe the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids? What’s the harm? Actually, there is great harm: firstly, these people try to prove their theories by travelling the world and desecrating ancient artefacts. Secondly, they perpetuate and give air to the racist notion that only Europeans – white people – ever were and ever will be capable of such architectural feats.
Benoit says this racism branches out to Peru’s Nazca Lines, the stone circles of South Africa’s Mpumalanga province and other locations and cultures as well. Boiling it all down to “profound racism.”
From the article:
Why is it so hard for some to acknowledge that ancient non-European civilisations like the Aztecs, people from Easter Island, ancient Egyptians or Bantu-speakers from southern Africa could create intricate structures?
The answer is unfortunately as simple as it seems: it boils down to profound racism and a feeling of white superiority that emanates from the rotting corpse of colonialism.
If you watched Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull or any of the Transformers movies, you may have endorsed this racist idea for entertainment value. Or at least have endorsed this “feeling of white supremacy.”
Because it seems, under the right circumstances aliens from outer-space can even make you be a racist.
Earliest Egyptians were not “African” or Semitic. They were Caucasians. So technically it’s racist whether it’s the aliens or if the actual Egyptians built them. Lose-lose all around.
I accept space aliens as a possibility.
I know for an absolute fact that we have been invaded by millions of illegal terrestrial aliens.
Does that make me a double racist, or maybe just a racist and a half?
For me it all started with abduction on October 10, 2004.
That was not the first occurrence, but it differed in that
they took me to a strange land of Zots and Undead Threads
where I was forced into psycho-sexual experiments using
horrific images of Helen Thomas and some quasi-female
"thing" they keep referring to as "Cankles."
Yes - I spoke in present tense. I'm still looking for the door.
Or maybe The Doors.
Can someone please show me the way to the next whiskey bar?
Now, we have to figure out what the butthurt is with "aliens"?
Sorry, my quotient of feral animal fatigue is tapped out.
Don’t some people believe Stonehenge was done by aluens?
Druid lives matter.
DNA from New Kingdom indicates ancient Egyptians were related most closely to the Levant and Asia Minor. Modern Egyptians have a lot of sub-Saharan Africa admixture from Islamic times.
I perceive a bit of racial bias and a hint of Nation of Islam “thinking” if Mr. Julien Benoit believes that the Egyptian pyramids were built by Nubians.
Yes, of course, in the grand FR tradition I haven’t read the article, and I try to avoid subjecting myself to such tripe on general principle, but is he a black separatist? That makes what I’ve read in the excerpt fall into place.
If so, Mr. Benoit needs to explain his Mothership while he’s ranting about racist space aliens, lol.
Too stupid to comment on.
The undead thread doesn’t release it’s victims.
Soon the security drones will be along to escort us back to the brine tubes we’re normally kept in.
The real problem is that unfortunately everyone is born with a mouth.

Thanks Tolerance Sucks Rocks.
People will believe all sorts of zany things. Does that make them racist? hmmmmmmmm..
I'll put that in my pipe and smoke it.
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime.

Since we are all racists, and everything we believe, do, and think is racist, and since this is an incurable condition, we all might as well relax in our racist racism because we will always be racists , and can’t do anything about it./s
It makes me wonder which is the bigger sh!t list.. The racist list or the global warming list.
