Reading is white supremacy now. Good luck getting ahead.
Over the past several decades, many of us who were associated with the humanities noticed, within the ranks of its academic practitioners, an incipient displeasure with Western civilization taking hold and gradually developing into outright hostility.
This attitude was at first manifested by a growing reluctance to engage with the vast literary output of Western man, whose creative strivings were summed up dismissively as the work of “dead white males” and consequently deemed irrelevant to the late twentieth century and beyond. If “educators” had their way, those geniuses would be silenced, for as white men, they have nothing to contribute, and therefore they had no reason to continue their conversation with the world.
Eventually, the literary achievements of the entire West were under assault (as well as the attainments in most other fields of creative endeavor), which meant that the prodigious accomplishments of European women were now included in the body of work that had become anathema to modern “scholars” ensnared by the fashionable allure of the current zeitgeist. The position women held on the intersectional totem pole was not enough to offset their inescapable association with the European colonizer.
This trajectory of shifting values is something the general public became cognizant of only gradually and with varying degrees of alarm. But it has been analyzed in depth by intellectual giants as far back as 1987, when Allan Bloom published The Closing of the American Mind. Roger Kimball of New Criterion has canvassed the development of this antipathy to the Western tradition in both the latter publication and his own books. But despite the erudition that these and other great thinkers have brought to bear on this subject, the dismantling proceeds apace.

Good catch. An excellent article.
If math and reading are examples of white supremacy, maybe whites are better. What is the problem? Do your best. Stay in your lane.
Good article; thanks for posting.
Yes, that one is a keeper.
If anyone gets loud about white supremacy around me, it isn’t going to be pretty. I will demand they quite appropriating MY culture, if they don’t like whites, and give up their cars, air conditioning, cell phones, computers, running water, flush toilets, and many other products of “white supremacy”.
Now that's racist!
Dis article be raciss.
That life does provide for physical superiority but not mental (see American sports).
(The “man behind the curtain” of the evil worldview(s) isn’t a man, but rather “that old serpent, who is called the devil and satan, who deceives the whole world”
Yep
“ There seems to be a push to re-enter the Dark Ages.”
Socialism only makes sense to the ignorant and subservient, like serfs.
Communists has seized control of education. There’s no way to take back control. The only option left is to defund public education. We have to burn the village to save it.
Good point if the can’t ware it smoke it eat it or sell it it’s of no use to them.
Wow. Thank you for pointing that out!
And agriculture created math.
In about 8000 BC the chance hybridization of wild wheats with goat grasses (around the Jericho oasis) produced the first two (fertile) cereal grains, emmer wheat and barley. Civilization sprang up around the cultivation of these two crops, and mathematics was created both as a means of documenting the ownership of crop lands and for quantifying the volume of grains sold.
It was agriculture created civilization. In fact no great civilization has ever existed without a cereal grain and domesticated (meat) livestock.
