Terrific commentary. White people are an extreme minority in the world and will soon be a minority in America.

Churchill was as racist as they come and played an impotant part in The Empire's violence against its colonies, beginning in South Africa and the Boer War's cruel concentration camps for both black and white civilians. Churchill made several horrible strategic decisions during WWII and famously praised Hitler, who “would go down in history as the man who restored honour and peace of mind in the great Germanic nation” and Mussolini (in 1943) for rescuing Italy from the Communists - https://www.counterpunch.org/2012/11/30/a-view-from-livadia-palace/

there's so much more, but I'm not a historian so please y'all do some research yourselves, happy digging.... and when others get angry at 'us' for being white - so what? we should be proud of the good things and dare to criticise the not-so-good ones, but we won't cower in hyped-up fear mongering (life's too valuable for that).

I've heard lots of different things about Churchill - but I'm not enough of an expert to engage. I do know that there are views quite different from yours, with the historians citing lots of backing. So yes, let's all keep researching.

About others being anti-white, yes, great to find it easy to stand up for ourselves. We also need to take this on on a systemic level - in school texts, etc. I'm pretty sure you agree.

partly agree: the anti-white thing is a spiritual battle and has more to do with our individual attitudes and awareness than organised "we know best"-efforts. parents should teach their children not to discriminate, so that schools can actually teach science. and spelling. and arts.

I believe you need to look further into school policies - much of the misinformation comes from school curriculum, so students may come in without an anti-white outlook but be brainwashed into having one. Have you looked into this?

the 'misinformation' aka brainwashing comes through all kinds of conduits: television! gaming! movies!...kids are targeted all the time and can only survive when WE support them in being critical, being creative, being kind, showing them how to be resilient. the curriculum can be cr*p, but an able teacher is worth gold. we should focus on direct, inter-human communication and the transfer of knowledge that comes from it. and yes, I'm a teacher (early retirement since 2022, now tutoring indiv students).
