Medieval England Was Too White
Front Page Magazine ^ | June 9, 2023 | Daniel Greenfield

The woke war on the past reaches historic proportions.

After canceling most people who lived in the last two centuries for not being sufficiently accepting of the current dogma, woke academia has turned its attention to the distant past.

After accusing Isaac Newton and Robert Burns of being complicit in slavery, the British woke war on the past has gone bigger. Edinburgh University had already renamed David Hume Tower after Black Lives Matter activists accused the philosopher, born in 1711, of racism. The Sir Francis Drake Primary School had to change its name and William Gladstone is next.

But even when you get rid of every famous Englishman, Scotsman, Irishman and Welshman, there’s no escaping the fact that it’s just a bunch of white people. As Mary Rambaran-Olm, an Afro-Indo Caribbean academic who decided to study medieval English literature, complained, the “field has traditionally been represented by white people and unsurprisingly still attracts mostly white students due to the field’s inherent whiteness.”

There are no complaints that black studies is too black, attracts black students and is represented by black people due to the field’s inherent blackness, but you can’t have the study of Irishness get too Irish, Welshness get too Welsh or England get too English.

The English, after being accused of colonizing the world, stand charged with colonizing the study of medieval England by the woke academics who want to ‘decolonise it’. Much like the decolonization of other parts of the world, the academic euphemism for ethnic cleansing, means getting rid of all the English. Or at least all the ones with the skin tone common on the isles.

Sounds like this:

Then:

The New York Times
Michelle Goldberg

“We Can Replace Them ... in Georgia, a chance to rebuke white nationalism”

Now:

The New York Times

“’Replacement Theory,’ a Racist, Sexist Doctrine, Spreads in Far-Right Circles

Nah, no anti-Angloism replacement going on here, either. Never.

Zimbabwe is the classical example of what you get with decolonization: From breadbasket to basket case of southern Africa in a single generation.

Our world would be a saner world if the leftists quit projecting onto the rest of us their deep felt guilt of their own history of racism.

Look around your house—almost every single convenience was invented by a white man.

These “academics” wants us living in dire poverty and filth.

Is it in bad taste to point out slavery was actually legal then, it has been considered normal practice for most of human history?.

“Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.” From The Holy Grail.

"The woke-racialism cancer will kill the West."

That's what it's intended to do.

Maybe when grievance groups give up the white “magic” only then can they cast stones.
