Racist Old England

They are digging up graves in England now and, as you might have figured, the White man has been found wanting. In America they dig up graves for two reasons: to desecrate a Confederate hero or to “prove” that a nigger in Tulsa was the victim of White men so niggers today can steal from White men. In Canada they don’t dig up graves because they know they are not really graves, and no tiny brown tots are in there, and an empty tomb is bad for the business of stealing from White people. But in racist old England digging up graves is now a going concern and it turns out the one black lady who lived there in the 14th century got bit by a flea and died of plague. Of course that means that all of White England must weep tears of regret and remorse, all the academic disciplines that have not already totally succumbed to anti-racism (are there any?) must capitulate on the double, all of English history must be re-written and re-portrayed as shot through with Africans, and of course the money spigots must flow from Whiteward to the backward blacks. Really these are just the same old stories with the same purpose--just re-packaged. The Romans of England were black; the Beachy Head lady? She was a negro. That Cheddar Man proves the earliest inhabitants of the island nation they were shucking and jiving. And you can be sure for her request for a last meal Ann Boleyn asked for some fried chicken and collard greens. And now the blacks, who are a plague people, say they got the short end of the stick way back when when it came to the plague. The plague? Yes sir, the plague (of all things) is big news right now in England due that negress who got bit by the flea. The sooner we say a plague on them all the sooner we can resume the path to our destined future. Until then we have to listen to them screech and scream about made-up nonsense.

“Racism in medieval England may have contributed to black people dying of bubonic plague academics have suggested. Researchers employing black feminist archaeology have studied remains in 14th-century plague cemeteries in London. The study has claimed that black people may have succumbed to the plague in disproportionate numbers compared to whites because of structural racism in medieval England. It concludes that critical race theory, an academic field devoted to examining how Western institutional power upholds racism, should be used by archaeologists in future.”

If lo these long years you had remained blissfully unaware that there was such a thing as black feminist archaeology you are not alone. In more innocent times such a thing would have been a punch line—well, it still is, let’s be fair, but the graybeards in English universities are not laughing. They’ll take it deadly serious at least publicly as few want universal opprobrium heaped on their head. Anyone can see on the face of it that the sample sized used is ludicrously small to make any generalization in this matter. And then in the first instance who really cares if some 14th century Englishmen were racist. Let’s just stipulate that by today’s standards of course they were. They had not been marinated in a vile stew of Jewish propaganda onslaught. They lived in England in the 14th century after all when the Jews had been well banished. And you can bet they thought the blacks (if there were blacks it was very few) were exotic oddities and certainly nothing to compare to White people. No, a study like this has nothing to do with plague times it has to do with the constant drum beat of turning the White English past into the black English past so as to justify the coming black English future. And a quick search shows that sure enough this Redfern creature is all over the push to vastly exaggerate the presence of blacks way back to Roman times and beyond. If you believe her the place has always been lousy with them, and they have never got an even break. And, as such, all the disciplines, especially the ones like archaeology which have long been the special preserve of the White man---must be utterly transformed.

“By examining the skulls, bones and teeth of these unfortunate individuals it was possible to identify their racial heritage, and it was discovered that the number of African Londoners in these cemeteries was disproportionate to the percentages of people of African descent living in the city at that time. Black women were especially overrepresented, revealing an elevated risk for plague death that was unmatched by any other group.”

Hold the phone there Shlomo---skull measurements? You’ve got to be kidding. What’s next, are they going to start talking about the cephalic index and bust out the calipers? Is it anti-racist over there are is it the ghost of Otmar von Verschuer, Eugen Fisher, and Mengele? They have already ruled out running DNA tests on the remains as the know that the Beachy Head lady was a bust and left a lot of egg on their black faces; they said she was sub-Saharan but turned out to be Cypriot—oh my. But just so we know what we are talking about they are saying out of one side of their mouth that they can tell that these dead are negros just by looking at skulls, bones, and teeth. How pray tell? Because out of the other side of their mouth they spout as an article of faith that races are unreal, that races are a figment of the imagination, are social constructs only. That when they refer to blacks as a race they say they are “racialized.” That is the White man slapped them with the “black race” label which is but part and parcel of the White racial imaginary. But when the chips are down and they need some dead blacks way back when to prove the structural racism—whatever that is---in merry old England they’ll gloss over their fake ideals and hope no one is looking too closely.

“Research conducted by Dr Rebecca Redfern, of the Museum of London, also suggests that misogynoir, prejudice against black women, created a particular risk of death by plague. The study suggests that the findings show structural racism’s devastating effects at work in 14th-century England, when the plague bacteria yersinia pestis caused mass death. Dr Redfern studied 145 sets of human remains interred in plague cemeteries when the Black Death swept through London and killed about 35,000 people. Of those buried, 49 succumbed to plague and 96 to other causes. By measuring skull features, Dr Redfern and her colleagues claimed to have established that there were nine people of black African ancestry among the plague dead, and eight among the others.”

Does this really rise to the dignity of the concept of research? Perhaps a score of dead negros (maybe) found in a musty lime pit and all of a sudden you are going to make grand sweeping claims? Let’s recall that some 35,000 White people were killed in the plague in London and we can safely assume life at the time was no picnic for them. But the most important thing for them is the fact that it was the blacks who suffered most though they say this with no evidence aside from their say so. Whatever blacks there were there at the time (if any) were a demographic rounding error, were so close to zero that you can safely ignore them if you are trying to elucidate the society of the time. Blacks in London in 1350? Hardly the lede. Hardly even an afterthought. And hardly anything whatsoever to hang your hat on some six hundred years later unless it’s a tiny hat. You can bet your average Londoner then didn’t even know there were blacks there or, if they did, did not know what the hell they were except strange indeed. But to hear this Redfern tell it the people of the British Isles were marauding in white hoods and forming Citizens Councils looking to lynch any stray one that crossed their paths. And it’s more than enough (it takes next to nothing) to blast another round of England is racist across the Jewish airwaves and screens.

“Redfern’s research paper, published in Bioarchaeology International and focusing on anti-black structural racism, claims that the purported black population in London suffered disproportionately more deaths during the plague which struck in 1348. The paper cites studies that show death by plague was more likely for those with underlying nutritional or health problems, perhaps caused by poverty or other stresses, and concludes that the black population of medieval London may have suffered the health outcomes of structural and anti-black racism."

They called it the Black Plague or the Black Death and that’s racist right there, tells you all you need to know, it’s right there in the name. How could we have not seen it all these years? Probably because we were blinkered by our racism. But really, assuming there really were black people in London all those years ago, and from my days reading Chaucer I don’t recall the Shucker’s or the Jiver’s Tale, what you have here is the oldest one in the book. Whatever blacks there were in the shire were likely to have been relatively poorer than the natives and thus less able to fend off the plague which, let us not forget, killed a third of Europe. I don’t have a PhD in mumbo jumbo like them and I don’t work in a Hate Whitey Museum but, on the other hand, I didn’t wake up the day before yesterday or just fall off a turnip truck. The old adage that you have to be very well educated to be that stupid applies to the progenitors of this study. The black population of medieval London (which may be a phantom menace) did not suffer the health outcomes of structural and anti-black racism, they suffered (if they were even there) the health outcomes from being black. Which is a plague in itself.

“The paper states: Intersectionality – the compounded harm of race and gender and misogynoir – may have impacted mortality during medieval pandemic disease. The paper makes apologies for the disciplines of its authors and the double whiteness and twinned whiteness of both anthropology and medieval studies, and states that it has set out to prioritize the methodologies of black feminist archaeology. This theoretical approach to archaeology seeks to focus on race, class, gender, and inequality, including in prehistory. The paper concludes: We recommend that intersectionality and critical race theories become integrated into archaeological studies, with intersectionality being the crossover of various traits such a race and class which could lead to inequality.”

Double Whiteness and twinned Whiteness---jumping Jesus these mental defectives as so blinded by a dead ideology that they are seeing double. But you know when the paper gets approved the ones who oversee these studies will especially appreciate being shit on in such a glaring fashion, for nothing makes a hyper educated stooge feel intense pleasure than ideational masochism and getting taken to the woodshed as a bigot. Acknowledging that “studies” are complicit in a vast if unspecified hegemonic structure gives them a kind of cachet and street cred in the groves of academe, indeed this is the one area of life where selling your craft down the river gets you vaulted to the top of it. But at bottom a paper like this is just an expeditionary force in the colonization of the academy in the name of decolonization---they have their grid and their “methods and methodologies”, in this case a bizarre mishmash called “race theory” and “intersectionality” and, well, archaeology is just so damn White. Like classical studies it is the last redoubt and bastion of the White man in the university and now the Jew inspired revolutionaries are battering down the door with their battering rams. They say the black plague came to Europe by the Golden Horde tossing some plague infected corpses over the city walls, and this is just the same. They have the plague ideology and they lob it into the faculty lounges and the lectures halls. Which is a shame, really, because merry old England used to be a damn good country before these cretins were loosed on it, indeed it was the White country par excellence. But now they are re-writing history on the back of a few dead niggers not for the first time and, one supposes, not for the for last.
