To say this story is a tempest in a teapot is to say too little; it’s all cry, no wool. They want to pull the wool over our eyes to make us think this matters at this late date, or matters at all, and they’ll enlist the good little sheep students into the lists of anti-racism and the hatred of their past. By rights these academics should be writing paeans to our past, panegyrics to our people, to the dyed in the wool stalwart men who gave us everything we have. Instead they will dredge up what they say anyways is the soiled linen of our history and cleanse it of everything they deem dirty or distasteful. This is certainly no way to run a railroad, unless you goal it to send it down the tracks to our demise.
“Wales must acknowledge its complicity in colonial exploitation because the nation’s wool was used in garments worn by slaves, a historian has said. Dr Charlotte Hammond, a Cardiff University academic, recounts in a new book how the wool, known as Welsh plains, was both used as a commodity to trade for slaves and as the material for enslaved peoples’ clothing. She said it was an area of history that has received little recognition until now and it is difficult for Wales to acknowledge how it had benefited from the trade. Woollen cloth woven in Wales became a popular commodity in the Atlantic Slave trade but there is a lack of public knowledge of this colonial history.”
We must of course do nothing of the sort; this is a footnote to a footnote tucked away in the fine print. It received so little recognition because it’s but the small change of life which most pay no heed to. So people in the past did not live up the already fake humanitarian principles of today; one people dominated and the other was dominated. This lady has blown the lid off of life! What’s next is she going to emit a hard hitting and gritty monograph on the fact that some people are actually superior to others? That life is unequal in that regard? No, that’s a fact of life she’s going to keep relegated to the dark corners as they don’t serve her nefarious purpose. No, a piddling and picayune story like this has no intrinsic interest; the reason it is promulgated is for one and one reason only: to make the White race feel guilt, to weaken its resolve, and to have its weak sister members take it as another reason why racism is the greatest evil of all. This Hammond woman is completing the tasks of her Jewish task masters; and is getting publishing rights in the bargain.
“The Welsh plains wool was uncomfortably coarse, and was distributed to slaves to fashion as they wanted, rather than being given ready to wear as clothes. The book edited by Hammond, Woven Histories of Welsh Wool and Slavery, describes how dress became an important visual language of resistance. The collection of essays comes with a warning that it contains colonial racial language that is considered offensive today. In particular, the term Negro Cloth appears frequently in colonial archives to refer to the woollens used to clothe enslaved people.”
Were the slaves not kitted out in comfortable clothes? Was everything not to their liking? Did they have to work rather than laze the days away in dreams under a tropic sun? News flash: they were slaves. Something which is as old as the hills and has flourished since the dawn of man. But this academic slime would have us believe that the White race is not only evil but uniquely evil. And little Wales? For shame little Wales, you were far from the metropole where the transatlantic slave trade was run (by Jews) but that doesn’t mean you can escape the harsh light of an imperious moral obloquy. Hell no it doesn’t. You thought you were just plying an honorable trade but you were really the harsh lash master Simon Legree. You were doing the whipping they like to exaggerate so much about. Why, you might as well have been putting the screws in the thumbs of those Africans just like Jew Ed Asner did in that wholly fictionalized miniseries, the one with that blind guy from Star Trek and OJ Simpson in a loin cloth pretending to be a big mandingo warrior.
“During the project students walked to historic sites, and sketched oppressive implements from plantations such as shackles, chains and branding irons, as well as the enslaved field workers themselves. Dr Hammond added that the research had taken the group from fulling mills in Dolgellau, Meirionnydd, via the packhorse trails that transported Welsh Plains cloth to England. There, it was dyed and finished in Shrewsbury, sent to London and Liverpool to be traded and then exported to the Americas. We have followed the cloth’s colonial connections to the Caribbean and southern states of the US, where Welsh plains was used to clothe enslaved field workers who toiled on the plantations. The book also calls for further research in the field.”
She led those students around by the nose like a perverted pied piper and wanted them to see with their own two eyes how evil their forebears were. Here a man made wool that oppressed a darkie plucked from the jungle; draw some pictures for us of those sadistic instruments of pain! Draw the poor helpless slave too but don’t give him a toothy grin or show him cutting a caper to the strains of a banjo, that gives way too rosy a picture and is racist as well. By the time they are done the student will have been “shaken” by the experience, and any chance of them being patriotic Welsh, or having any kind of racial pride will be nil. They are drilling it out of them, eradicating the kindred feeling for their own kind. It’s what the modern world has as a substitute for education.
“But critics have responded, claiming that Wales is only the latest European nation to be pulled into a grievance industry. Frank Furedi, Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent in Canterbury, said: the thing is that there is now an industry of grievance archaeologists and they are linking everything to slavery so everything that’s important and good in European civilization becomes either directly or indirectly linked. Even poor little Wales is not going to get off scot free because they too like every European nation are directly or indirectly implicated in this.”
Implicated, as if in a crime and we know whodunit: the White man! But slavery in the Americas was never a crime, it was a blunder. The idea of transporting Africans to the green breast of the New World where they could be fed and watered and breed like locusts is the single more idiotic thing ever done. You see the results of this colossal mistake every time a black man knocks off a liquor store or a black man calls for his cut of millions at the commission meeting.
And the new research she calls for will only compound the error. In the new anti-racist paradigm no one will escape the whipping, no White country at least. The professorial scum fan out over history to pore over the mundane and quotidian reality of what always was the case, pick out the White race for exclusive attention, home in on the fact that the White race was magisterial and awesome and held the backward races in check. What else were we to do? We were on the way to the stars back then, on an ever upward arc, a path of ascendance and transcendence, to become who were: the great race, the greatest race, the only race worthy of the name. And no ankle biting professors was ever going to get in the way of that, at least not then. But later when the Jews began to infiltrate all over the European world and shattered the superior superconfidence of the White race which knew no bounds, all of a sudden our past glory was adduced to our shame. Fact! And any history books which doesn’t tell you this unadorned and straightaway is pulling the wool over your eyes. You can see the evidence of this as those students in Wales trek across the stations of the Jewish cross.
