The white prism of history / by kevin murray

It isn’t any real surprise that in the majority of Western nations, history as written is not only written by the victors, but that it favors the white version of history, because the white race has had some notable and remarkable achievements over the last several centuries.  This makes therefore for those that are not learned in history, or care not to research such, to basically believe that just about every meaningful achievement so made has been first done by the white race, for the supposed benefit of other peoples and races; whereas, a fairer version would recognize all the achievements made by other races in other places and other times, but somehow aren’t so readily recognized or suitably acknowledged.

 The reason why there is a white prism of history is quite obviously to proselytize to other peoples and other nations, the supposed superiority of the white race, as if somehow, intelligence and achievements are constructed upon the color of one’s skin, as compared to the knowledge so obtained and thereby utilized through one’s mind.  Yet, because so many of us are inclined to judge others by what they see in front of them, this is part and parcel of why the white race believes so strongly that it is important for whiteness to equate to intelligence and civility, by virtue of their skin color, taking not into consideration the true content of their character.  Additionally, while it could be said that pride has its place, those who are white, who believe just by the fact of their whiteness they are somehow the master race, represent the type of bunk which leads to divisiveness and serious conflict.

 However, as much as the white man still believes in their manifest destiny, we find that the world has already irrevocably changed, in which, those at the very top of power within politics and corporations, are already cognizant that the white man must not only share their power with other races and other creeds but are actively doing so, because the qualifications and achievements of other peoples and societies throughout the globe are so impressive, they have astutely recognized that by joining hands with those qualified others, that this is good for business as well as the politics of business.  This signifies that the white prism of history is already in a state of change or of decline, because those at the very top of white power levers recognize that without an arrangement or an embracement of other races and other creeds, they will lose what they most desire to keep, which is money and power.

 So then, we can expect to see a more nuanced view of history written, because every society wants to have their story told that values them as a people, and aren’t really interested in hearing how whiteness is somehow superior to everyone else, when they can already clearly see that there are plenty of those white people, that aren’t really all that, while also seeming to be incapable of ever being anything of merit, and therefore aren’t really worthy of unearned respect by other races and peoples, because there is little or nothing in their character to respect or admire.
