Topic
In this talk, Wilfred will look at one of the defining trends in modern upper-middle class society – the conflict between an incredibly prevalent anti-Western narrative, and reality. According to the federal government’s official curriculum, Native North and Meso-Americans were peaceful Eloi. According to groups like Black Lives Matter and the New York Times’ 1619 Project, American slavery was an evil of a type and scale never before seen in the world. Even as re today’s world, we have been told for a decade that police murder of Black men, and white crime against minority citizens, reaches the level of a “genocide” (Crump 2020).
But, none of these things is true. Native Americans were among the greatest warriors in history, slavery dates back to before the Roman Empire, and inter-racial violent crime is about 3% of all crime – and 80% Black-on-white.
