GOP Pushing Bill To Ban Teaching History Of Slavery
[quote]As the GOP seeks to suppress classroom lessons about
racism and slavery, parts of academia are aligning with their
right-wing rhetoric. The University of North Carolina now
drawing backlash after denying Pulitzer prize-winning journalist
Nikole Hannah-Jones a tenured position. [/quote]

It used to be OK to be a "white" home owner:

[quote]HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Fred Ware and his son were
researching the history of the home he’s owned in the Hartford
suburbs since 1950 when they discovered something far uglier
than they expected.
Tucked in a list of rules on the home’s original deed from the
developer was a provision that said: “No persons of any race
other than the white race shall use or occupy any building or
any lot,” with the exception of “domestic servants of a
different race.”
...
While the U.S. Supreme Court in 1948 ruled such racially
restrictive housing covenants unenforceable, many remain on
paper today and can be difficult to remove.
...
The restrictive language was written into property documents in
communities throughout the U.S. during the early- to mid-20th
century amid the Great Migration, which saw millions of African
Americans move from the rural South to the urban Northeast,
Midwest and West.
These restrictive covenants were a tool used by developers,
builders and white homeowners to bar residency by Blacks, Asians
and other racial and ethnic minorities. Even after they became
unenforceable, according to historians, people privately abided
by the covenants well into the 1960s.[/quote]

New U.S. census data shows white population shrank for first
time
[quote]New U.S. census data released on Thursday show the white
population declined for the first time in history last decade,
with significant increases among people who identify as
multi-racial, Hispanic and Asian driving much of the population
growth between 2010 and 2020.

I'm assuming people who could easily be mistaken as "white" but
reject that identity to the fullest were probably also lumped
into this census data considering the U.S. has a lack-luster and
half-ass understanding of identity and race, even though both
have major effects on the U.S. government itself and the nation
as a whole. You would think that a country such as the U.S.,
which suffers so greatly because of racism and identity related
issues, would take the time and effort to get to the bottom of
both race and identity once and for all. But then again, that
may lead to sanity and clarity and we wouldn't want that now
would we?

Ku Klux Klan - The secret history of the KKK (1/2) | DW
Documentary
[quote]KKK: Three letters that instantly conjure images of
hooded processions, public lynchings, and churches in flames.
These shocking scenes continue to haunt our collective memory
and summon up the darkest chapters of American history.[/quote]
[quote]From the abolition of slavery in the 19th century to the
populism of the inter-war period, the civil rights struggle of
the 1950s and 1960s, and the recent riots in Charlottesville,
the history of the Ku Klux Klan is inseparable from that of the
United States. But what do we really know about this secret
society? How has it managed to perpetuate itself up to the
present day? What hatreds and fears has the Klan fed on, and
fueled? What kinds of resistance have civil society and
democratic institutions offered? And what does its story tell us
about America's relationship to its minorities?
Through the secret history of the Ku Klux Klan, from its
creation to the present day, this film will explore more than a
century of racial segregation and racism, bringing together
numerous archive images as well as interviews with historians
and witnesses who have faced the violence of the Klan.

"The Invention Of The White Race" by Theodore W. Allen.
Presentation by Jeffrey B. Perry
[quote]"The Invention of the White Race" (Verso Books) by
Theodore W. Allen, especially Vol. II: "The Origin of Racial
Oppression in Anglo-America."
This Slide Presentation/Talk by Jeffrey B. Perry, which draws on
insights from Hubert Harrison, was hosted by The Hubert Harrison
and Theodore W. Allen Society on January 31, 2013, at the Brecht
Forum, when it was still located in lower Manhattan.
On this cold night the building had no heat. The standing room
only audience is testimony to the growing interest in Theodore
W. Allen's important work and in the struggle against white
supremacy.
The video was shot by Fred Nguyen and made available Courtesy
Fansmiles Productions.

"When the first Africans arrived in Virginia in 1619, there were
no 'white' people there; nor, according to the colonial records,
would there be for another sixty years."
Theodore W. Allen
(Written after searching through 885 county-years of Virginia's
colonial records)
Theodore W. Allen's "The Invention of the White Race," with its
focus on racial oppression and social control, is one of the
twentieth-century's major contributions to historical
understanding. This two-volume classic (Vol. 1: "Racial
Oppression and Social Control" and Vol. 2: "The Origin of Racial
Oppression in Anglo-America") details how the "white race" was
invented as a ruling-class social control formation and a system
of racial oppression was imposed in response to labor solidarity
in the wake of Bacon's Rebellion (1676-77), how the "white race"
was created and maintained through "white race" privileges
conferred on laboring class European-Americans relative to
African-Americans, how these privileges were not in the interest
of African-Americans or laboring class European-Americans, and
how the "white race" has been the principal historic guarantor
of ruling-class domination in America. (See
HTML http://www.jeffreybperry.net/_center_...
)
"The Invention of the White Race" presents a full-scale
challenge to what Allen refers to as "The Great White
Assumption" -- "the unquestioning, indeed unthinking acceptance
of the 'white' identity of European-Americans of all classes as
a natural attribute rather than a social construct." Its thesis
on the origin and nature of the "white race" contains the root
of a new and radical approach to United States history, one that
challenges master narratives taught in the media and in schools,
colleges, and universities. With its equalitarian motif and
emphasis on class struggle it speaks to people today who strive
for change worldwide.
Jeffrey B. Perry contributed new introductions, back matter,
internal study guides, and expanded indexes to Verso Books' new
expanded edition of "The Invention of the White Race."
