Yesterday, I published the first of a three part series on things Tumblr says. The general impression of people is that Tumblr is the fringe of society, a weird cult that does not represent the mainstream. This is partially true. It is a weird cult, and its views don’t represent those of the mainstream. However, the Tumblr reality is now the mainstream narrative, as it is being embraced by world leaders and the largest part of the mainstream media. A recent article in The Guardian – which is about as “mainstream” as media gets – entitled “Philosophy has to be about more than white men” attests to this fact.
The op-ed was written by Minna Salami, who is a half-Nigeria, half-Finnish feminist extremist.
Here’s part of her bio from her “MsAfropolitan” blog:
I am a Nigerian-Finnish writer, blogger and speaker and the founder of MsAfropolitan, a multiple award-winning pan-African feminist blog. I am a member of the Duke University Corporate Education Global Learning Resource Network, the Guardian Africa Network, a board member of UK Charity For Books’ Sake and a Huffington Post contributor. I am listed as one of Applause Africa’s “40 African Change-makers under 40″, one of Nokia’s “50 Remarkable Women Connected by Nokia” and listed by Eelan Media as one of the “Top 100 Most Influential Black People on Digital/Social Media”.
My commentary has appeared in leading papers: The Observer, The Guardian, The Independent and The Huffington Post. I am a TEDx speaker. My appearances include talks and debates at The Victoria & Albert Museum, London City Hall as well as fora and events in South Africa, Nigeria, Gabon, Morocco, France, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Gambia, Austria, Belgium.
Her article begins:
Across the country, students have been “dismantling the master’s house”. They weren’t smashing their principals’ offices, but rather demanding a revision of their predominantly white, predominantly male curricula. From UCL to LSE to York, Warwick, Nottingham and Kent, the student-led campaign “Why Is My Curriculum White?” has attracted thousands of people concerned that the course content at universities across the country reflects white dominance and under-represents black people.
Again, this is presented as some sort of massive movement, when in reality it is not. What they hope to do is make it a mainstream movement by presenting it as such.
The “Why Is My Curriculum White?” video, posted in November of last year, only has 16,372 views at time of writing. This is less than some of my own videos have gotten in that amount of time. It’s hardly a “movement.” Also note that we should assume that at least half of the views were from when this was being passed around on Nazi sites.
Here’s the video, for those who missed it:
She goes on to respond to critics of this plot to remove White men from academia:
Critics of the campaign argue that it undermines academic freedom; that all knowledge is of equal worth; that students ought to transcend cultural background in the interest of expanding knowledge; and that there are very good reasons why a philosophy, economics or history curriculum might be full of the works of dead white males. Very good reasons indeed: some of these include the systemic killing of female philosophers, massacres of some of our earliest thinkers such as the Aztec; and the destruction of ancient African cities that illuminate the thinking of old civilisations.
Yes, that link to the killing of a “female philosopher” goes to the Wiki page of Qiu Jin, a female Chinese revolutionary who was executed in 1907 for planning to overthrow the Monarch of China. She later because a hero of the communist regime for having opposed fascism or whatever.
How does that relate to White men in academia you ask? No one knows! But somehow it must, or why would she link it in her article about the oppressiveness of White men?
Also, how is the word “systematic” used in connection to the killing of one Chinese revolutionary? That seems dishonest, almost like an outright lie! But I know a newspaper as respected as The Guardian wouldn’t publish outright lies, so there must just be some confusion on my part!
The Aztecs she then mentions – and yes, some of these people were definitely killed by Whites, and the Catholic church did convert them to Christianity. No one argues this point. But you know, Ms. Salami, they were engaging in mass human sacrifice, sometimes killing dozens of people a day and cutting out their hearts because they thought if they didn’t the sun would stop coming up?
Is this something you want to teach in universities? That if you don’t engage in human sacrifice, the sun will stop coming up?
One thing I do like about the Aztec philosophy is that they worshipped White men as gods – that is, genetically superior beings. And yes, that probably is something that should be taught at universities.
As far as the third point – “destroying African cities” – to this I can only ask “what African cities?”
Mapungubwe was already ruins by the time Whites got there, and was built by Arabs not Negroes.
Ms. Salami then goes on to list off alleged African philosophers who are allegedly being dismissed by the University system because it is somehow inherently racist. What she doesn’t mention is that Africans never, in their entire history before European contact, developed a written language. This obviously puts them behind, quite a bit.
All that the movement to remove “dead White men” from academia is is an attempt to lower academic standards by removing real academic figures and replacing them with African nonsense in order to make Blacks feel better about themselves. There is no other goal. It is not university systems that are racist, it is history itself that is racist. White men (and a few Asian men) are responsible for everything important that has happened in history.
That is why we study them in university. Not because of an invisible secret racist conspiracy.
