Don’t look for it in black studies programs
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Was slavery a wrong or an inherited institution?
Did slavery originate in the English colonies in North America in the
17th century or do its origins go back before the time of recorded
history?
Is slavery racist or is it based on economic motive?
If a person wants understanding, these are important questions.
But if a person wants to engage others in emotion for the purpose of
gaining preferment and its rewards, money and power, or simply to enjoy
the self-righteousness of moral denunciation of one’s fellows, these
questions are in the way. The
fact that these questions are never asked and are not a part of black
studies programs in universities or the New York Times’ fake history
project–the 1619 Project–is conclusive evidence that today slavery is an
emotive word used to demonize white people and to bring preferment to
black people.
Slavery is presented to American school children as something that white people did to black people. Therefore,
white people are racists and must pay in some way for the slavery of
black people that ended in the US 156 years ago.
