  The title of this book should be renamed “Presentism: Judging the past by Modern Standards”

  grond2- Considering history through modern standards is central to the development of clear understanding between past and present, which is the point of historical commentary. By which standards do you propose we use to evaluate history? Establishing historical study based on the standards of the era necessitates devoting a large part of any historical study to explain exactly what the social and moral standards of the time, which in many cases, if not all, contemporary records and histories that remain.If you want to truly understand the scope and landscape of history, you must examine the past through modern eyes.

  LOL, I keep seeing theses books written by people who have absolutely zero understanding of history. No race has been more racist than black people, since they have enslaved their own people for thousands of years, and have been selling them all over the middle east and other parts of the world for at least a thousand years.
  Also from the late 1300’s to the 1700’s black pirates in Northern Africa kidnapped and enslaved over a million white Europeans. Look up Barbary pirates. White people never enslaved blacks, they purchased blacks who were already enslaved by their black overlords. Slavery was a normal business up until recently.
  Also, it was white people who abolished slavery, while Africans continue to have slavery TODAY. In fact, there are more black slaves in Africa RIGHT NOW, than all the slaves that were send to America.
  These are historical facts, the problem is there is so little racism in America, that they have to keep inventing it and spread this bullsh-t.
  But most Americas (And a large and growing number of blacks) see right through the lies and deception they are building.
  Watch the video on UTube “The FULL Erec Smith: A diversity Trainer Speaks out against DEI” if you want to see some real hard truths about this agenda. I believe that is being pushed by the wealthiest people (Mostly white) to bring America down by dividing it, which has been working quite well, although it is staring to get some major pushback all over the country.
  Expect this country to fall in the next 3-4 years if people don’t wake up. Just ask Opra, Denzil Washington, Lebron James, and all the other very successful blacks just how oppressed they are. This is stupidity in it highest form.

  it is not necessarily the bible at fault, it is the malevolent Machiavellian types ( Vatican and Jesuits) that interpreted the bible in a way that gives them power and profit at the expense of others, but only possible with hordes of normie followers and conformists. This ‘doctrine of discovery’ is not justified in the bible. But once again the truth is unlikely to be presented due to being labelled “conspiracy theory”.

  @Hogweed that is some of the best commentary i have read on this site, it summarizes an entire societal problem succinctly and brilliantly. I have never heard this societal problem broken down so well, this marxist identity politics is madness and I can see it tearing the country apart too.

  Those who can, do.

  History matters not. Mostly it’s used as a weapon.
  Every citizen could have a PHD understanding of history and it won’t change a thing. It’s a Western progressive article of faith that ‘those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it’ or make the same mistakes. More hubris & delusions of control. Machiavelli rightly observed that the usefulness of knowing history is that informs you to expect more of the same & why.

  “”Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.”"
  — Niccolo Machiavelli

  Humans are Biorobots following their evolutionary programming.

  ‘ever have been, and ever shall be,’animated by the same passions’ = ‘following their evolutionary programming.’

  This programming is why the humans are in their last century, and their species scar on the world will be a thin strata of radioactive plastic, concrete, rapid CO2 spike & chicken bones.
  .
  “”Chicken bones”"

  “”Humans like chicken. As of 2018, we were eating about 65 billion of these birds a year. At any one time, there are 23 billion chickens alive. But why would chicken bones be a telltale sign we were here? Because of how common they are – and because our long reliance on these birds has changed them dramatically. They no longer resemble their sleek jungle fowl antecedents – they’re far larger, grow quicker and eat differently. Broiler (meat) chickens can’t survive without human intervention. These changes are so profound that it’s as if we’ve bred a new species, according to paleobiology and Anthropocene expert Jan Zalasiewicz, who told AFP: “It usually takes millions of years […] but here it has taken just decades to produce a new form of animal.””

  Many people traveled around the world before Columbus, yet none of them committed genocide and enslaved entire races. What is it about these white, european christians?

  Notice how, among white men, showing you are violent and angry are considered virtues.

  Notice how just about every country that europeans invaded has had a long history of coups, instability and war since that time.

  Notice how white people CANNOT acknowledge the events of their ancestors by saying they’re “not responsible,” but when steps are taken to correct those things, suddenly out comes the white pride and words like “history” and “tradition” are thrown about.

  “We didn’t do it, but we refuse to stop benefiting from it.”

  Before colonization, europe looked like the slums of Africa. These people went from living with farm animals (that’s how many diseases were spread in the Americas) to suddenly “civlized”.

  I wonder who paid for the renaissance and “high civilization”? I wonder who funded the slave trade? Where did all this money suddenly come from…?

  The so-called “success” of white people is based on genocide and slavery and the reason why they’re so angry now is that they know it’s just a matter of a few more years before the rest of us decide to come take it all back. Look at the european museums giving things back, look at the non-white people being elected to lead white countries, look at how brown people have dominated entertainment and sports.

  The white man knows what’s coming next and he’s terrified.

  Hogweed Careful– your stupid is showing. Slavery is older than Sumer and Mesopotamia (roughly 3500 years ago), neither of which were “blacks enslaving blacks,” and in Egypt since the Old Kingdom, roughly 4000 years ago.Also, to claim that no race has been as racist as blacks is just plain drivel. Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece practiced slavery, neither of which were blacks enslaving other blacks. Also, claiming that “White people never enslaved blacks, they purchased blacks who were already enslaved by their black overlords” is just about the dumbest single sentence I have ever read. Chattel slavery was the only type of slavery practiced in America, where the outright ownership of another race was based solely on skin color. I bought this book in hardcover when it was released and, barring minor or insignificant errors common to all histories that cover such a range of time, it is a solid piece of historical clarity and is very well- researched.

  @ProfitPagan

  Hogweed isn’t stupid (well, he might be, but that’s not the point)

  The point is that Hogweed, like many of the little bootlicking failures that pop up here regularly, is deeply, cripplingly racist. He is absolutely terrified of Black men, primarily sexually.
