WHITE SUPREMACY IN THE WEST

If we believe David Batchelor, just five minutes, the West starting as far as Plato and Aristotle, and I am sure he could have found things in Chauvet Cave, has always claimed White was supreme, White had to be pure, and White could not be absolute if all colors, except black and greys, were not expelled from our culture. This is a biased view based on selected quotations referring most of them to the great (you know MAGA) period of colonialism and slavery for all people of color, even, despite what HG Wells claimed, the Jews, though H.G. Wells excluded them from his people of color to be eliminated because they accepted to interbreed. This claim stated by Batchelor as the “only” and “sole” dominant ideology of the West is, in fact, the motivation of the worst ever in human history crime against humanity and genocide. Strangely enough, the West started speaking of genocide when the Jews in Auschwitz were concerned, though some historians still ignore the fact that the Jews were about half the people who were genocidally killed in the Concentration Camps, or in the streets, or in villages, or in burning churches, or in stadiums, etc.

 

He even goes as far as quoting Goethe in that white supremacy paranoia, a quote that is vastly questioned by Goethe himself and even more questioned by his 19th-century translator who added a note Batchelor does not refer to or quote. The book ignores Newton and the fact that “white” is not a color but the packing together of all the color wavelengths between ultraviolet and infrared. In the same way, the book ignores black is not a color but the absence of light. He refuses to take a scientific approach and by locking himself in this cultural, ideological, political, and segregational approach, he justifies the emergence of white supremacy in the West. He is, in 2000, the prophet of the number 1 white supremacist fighting to Make America Great Again.

I will say that the very deep bias of the United Kingdom, or Great Britain, or England that sets white on top of the political, ethnic, racial, artistic, religious, and many other sectarian approaches blocks any sensible and reasonable discussion. David Batchelor could have been more balanced and willfully denounced this crime against humanity, this genocide that had been going on since Antiquity, and even in Egypt or Mesopotamia where black slaves, castrated or not, were the big fad to compensate for the lack of technology to produce goods or to side-track and neglect existing inventions that could have saved the use of thousands and thousands of black slaves or colored slaves like the water mill invented and implemented but never used next to Marseilles by the Romans in the first century before Christ. It was only used by the Benedictines, starting in the 10th century after Charlemagne’s religious reform with 52 Sundays and three fundamental festive weeks (Nativity, Passion, Assumption), plus a few more holy days in local places, that is to say more than 73, yes SEVENTY-THREE days when work was banned, though it did not concern slaves who were not supposed to be Christian since they had no souls since they were colored people.

 David Batchelor, you could have done better.
