NY Times: As Historians Gather, No Truce in the History Wars
At the annual meeting of the American Historical Association, the raging battle over how to write about the past — and why — was uncomfortably front and center.
“Too many on both left and right treat history as an evidentiary grab bag. We suffer from an overabundance of history, not as a method of or analysis, but as anachronistic data points for the articulation of competing politics.”
The ensuing hissy-fit from the young radicals prompted a quick apology from Sweet for “alienating some of my Black colleagues and friends,” — although he did not retract his arguments. This is the level of madness which the AHA had descended to. Traditional leftist liars / fools such as President Sweet are now coming off sounding somewhat sane and responsible — that is, relative to the barbarian radicals who want to, and ultimately will, devour their quackademic elders for not being “woke” enough. “The revolution eats its own,” as they say.
We are in the hands of the Jews. They can do what they please with our values.”Adams advised against investment except in the form of gold locked in a safe deposit box:
“There you have no risk but the burglar. In any other form you have the burglar, the Jew, the Czar, the socialist, and, above all, the total irremediable, radical rottenness of our whole social, industrial, financial and political system.”
Now THAT was a serious historian talking. About 50 years later, the same AHA would elect Arthur Schlesinger (cough cough) as president. Various other chosenite quackademics would subsequently serve one-year terms.
Translation: The mighty tax-exempt foundations which were behind the falsification of history are now moving their resources toward insane “wokeism.” Follow the money (cough cough).
Boobus Americanus 1: I read in the New York Times today about a dispute between historians who want to keep history as is, and younger ones who want to incorporate a social justice agenda.
Boobus Americanus 2: I don’t believe they should be injecting current cultural trends into the study of history, but we should also be sensitive to minorities.
