Entry: Postmodern, Not Hypermodern: Russell Kirk Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/postmodern_not_hypermodern_russell_kirk#14385 Post contents: "Cundliff's Historical Innacuracies While Racialism in various ideological formats dates back to the mid 19th century, to deny that human societies prior to this era had no conception of race or differences between the races is absolute nonsense. In fact, Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and Vedic Indians clearly made distinctions along racial, tribal, and ethnic lines. Would you like examples? Cundliff's attempts to disprove the essentially Racialist vision of America's Founders is another desperate ploy on his part. It is quite clear Jefferson believed that Blacks and Whites were unable to live under the same government and supported the idea(at least in theory)of repatriating Blacks back to Africa. A little group was founded called the American Colonization Society? Ever hear of it? Many prominent figures in American History, including several Presidents were members. Immigration and naturalization policies until the 1965 "reform" show very clearly that The U.S. was to be a European-descended nation, not your favorite Neocon ideologue Ben Wattenberg's concept of "the first universal nation." Shouldn't you be on Free Republic or NRO? Your views sound like a sanitized Ben Wattenberg/Jack Kemp Neo-Conized revision of real history. Back to the drawing board and hopefully, the fever-swamps for you. See you at the next McCain rally! Sent at: 2008 07 25
