Fairy Tales in February

As many of you will be aware, February in America is “Black History month”. (in Britain we have something similar in October, although it has not (yet) reached the prominence it is given in the states) The intention of Black history month was to give the black minority in the USA a month to celebrate their culture, their history and the achievements black people have made over the centuries. Well, at least, that is the official story.

If that were true, who could complain?, all people, black, white and brown should celebrate their culture and be proud of their history. However, that is not what black history month is all about, it is certainly not about the truth. In reality, February in America has become a time when false history is taught in schools, even more than it already is, and the media bristles with historical lies, distortions and pure unadulterated fantasy, even more than usual.

History is re-written to either give it a black focus, which did not exist in reality, to celebrate black achievements which never happened or more insidiously, and maybe more importantly, to undermine and devalue the real achievements of white people.

Of course, that does not just happen in February, all through the year, there is an entire industry hard at work revising history in order to portray whites in as un-heroic manner as possible, downplay their achievements and falsely enhance the heroism and achievements, and, of course victim status of other races. This industry is primarily aimed at the gullible, at the stupid, and at the young. There are thousands upon thousands of writers and academics in universities and colleges across America and Europe who's sole function is to lie to their students so as to create a false (politically correct) history, and they do that all year round.

However, it is in February when the festival of that false history occurs in America.

Amongst the most outrageous traditions of black history month is the annual chanting of the black inventions myths where an orgy of intellectual theft takes place, real white inventors are erased from history books and their inventions and creations attributed to people from ethnic minorities, some of whom may have tinkered with, or revised the original invention, but most of whom played no part whatsoever in the actual invention.

To mark black history month 2010, the Council of Conservative Citizens in the USA are running a series of articles exposing the myths which trundle out on their gaudy floats around this time each year

The black history myths they have addressed so far are as follows:

The C of CC say they will continue the series of black invention myth exposures throughout February.

Some may say, why bother? Isn't it a bit mean to burst these bubbles which merely make black people feel good about themselves even if they are no more than fakes, fantasies and fairy tales, what harm does it do to let them believe these myths? Should we not, like the indulgent mother who allows her six year old to claim she cooked dinner, even though she did little more than some supervised mixing, allow them a few white lies to boost their egos?

In fact, there are many reasons why these lies need to be exposed, debunked and shown up for what they are.

For a start, the inventions myths are, as I indicated earlier, no more than intellectual theft. These myths steal the achievements of the real inventors, they seek to deny them credit for their own, often significant, contribution to society and then attribute the results of what may have been years of effort to someone entirely undeserving, just because they have a more fashionable pigmentation.

Yet the motive goes beyond that, these achievements are stolen from white men in order to falsely claim that other white men stole them from blacks.

It is the same when history is revised and lies become the legends which become accepted truths through constant repetition. It is done for one purpose, and that is to vilify the white race. It's aim is to perpetuate even greater myths such as the exclusivity of white cruelty and black victimhood, and that of noble black heroes (or noble blue heroes in the case of James Cameron's race hate flick Avatar) and evil white villains.

The single aim of these myths, fables and downright falsehoods is to created a revised history and a new truth which otherwise would exist only in left wing political orthodoxy of the foetid and malign imaginings of radical academia, and then pass the lies on to the next generation as an accepted and unquestioned creed.

There is nothing harmless about the myths of black history month, there is no gentle or paternalistic indulgence behind this deliberate redistribution of historical achievements, their design is malevolent and their agenda is deadly. It is being done in order to harm one race no less than it is done to benefit another, in fact, probably more so. In this, as in so many ways, our history is being rewritten and it is being rewritten for a reason.

There is only one reason to rewrite a people's history and that is to justify a future which is planned for them.

If you steal a people's history, deny their achievements, their pride and their worth, if you call them evil call them worthless, and often worse, and them make them believe your lies, it is then they become easier to defeat, and also, it is then they become easier to destroy.

Truths rewritten

By August Pointneuf

HAMILTON NAKI

Robert McKay, writing in The Times, May 29 2009 says:

THE documentary Hidden Heart looks back at one of the proudest moments in South African history — the first successful heart transplant — and finds that it might also have been one of our most shameful.

While Barnard was whisked off to the US to rub shoulders with movie stars and became famous for his womanising ways as the “doctor of hearts”, Naki was denied an entry in the history books by the apartheid government and ultimately pensioned off as a gardener.

The hype surrounding the movie which incorporated aspects of this man’s life demonstrates, again, a bias towards the contribution of the white man in Africa. Naki was not denied entry into the history books because he was black: It was because he was an ordinary man doing an ordinary, but unusual, job

What is not spelled out, and was certainly obscured by earlier articles in The Economist, The Times and The Telegraph was that Hamilton Naki worked as a technician in an animal laboratory. He never treated a human. He never went to Groote Schuur Hospital where the transplantation was performed, except as a visitor.

Doing this kind of work, day after day, enabled Naki to develop technical skills, but not unique or superior to tens of thousands of others involved in occupations requiring high levels of manual skill. He is said to have been a skilled anaesthetist but this must also be interpreted in the context that he was anaesthetising animals which would ultimately be killed, and those that died under anaesthesia would be considered “bad luck” and disposable.

Hamilton Naki showed himself, over the years, to be exceedingly conscientious and dedicated to his work, arising with regularity in the early hours as was necessary to prepare the laboratory for the day’s experimentation.

There is no evidence that Hamilton claimed to have taken part in the world’s first heart transplant. What was purported to be this evidence was a filmed interview between a reporter and Naki. It will be clear to all who have an understanding of Naki’s accent and Xhosa phraseology (the interviewer was American-English) that the two were speaking at cross purposes. Hamilton was speaking about his work in the animal laboratory. The American reporter was trying to prompt Hamilton into talking about events during the first transplant, which Hamilton did not understand at that date. When the American reporter asked “Did you take the heart out?” Hamilton replied “Yes I (used to) take the heart (s) out (in the animal laboratory)”.

Hamilton’s son, on the other hand, deliberately perpetuated the misinformation, saying that the family should be awarded money for his father’s role in the first heart transplant.

An honorary Master of Science was given to Naki, not as in recognition of academic achievement (because there was none) but because of his conscientiousness and the part that he played (within a team of very many others) in developing transplantation surgery at the University of Cape Town.

The State Award given to Naki by President Thabo Mbeki was entirely unwarranted and does an extraordinary disservice to tens of thousands of other people who have worked carefully and conscientiously during their lives in both the public and private sectors of South Africa. It reflected the distasteful, dishonest and distorted agenda of the Black-propaganda machine, which has now become the heir to the huge existing body of falsified anti-Apartheid propaganda.

This post is not designed to belittle Naki. It is, however, designed to be a vehement criticism and accusation of those who choose to pump untruthful pro-Black propaganda at every level (including those like Robert McKay who hold themselves to be journalists) of culpable dishonesty.

It should be noted that the Times, the Economist and the Telegraph have all retracted their previous articles on Hamilton Naki, and well they should.
