Other writers and scholars would note how antisemitism shaped white nationalism. But Teter, professor of history and the Shvidler Chair of Judaic Studies at Fordham University, saw something else: how centuries of Christian thought and practice fed the twin evils of antisemitism and racism.
Please, what has ideology got to do with slavery? Any non-modern culture enslaved weaker people when it got the chance. Any theory can be developed by scratching up a few facts and linking them with a chain of fancy words.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Woke revision of history in which slavery is a "Whites enslave everyone else" narrative.
ReplyDeleteHence we have a movie called 'The Woman King" about an African kingdom that fought back against European slavers, only in actual history that Black kingdom was a major slave trading source and it was the British who were trying to stop them.
Reminding people that Arabs and other Blacks also engaged in slavery is bad form for these permanent victims.
