Harvard prof says burning of Notre Dame cathedral "feels like an act of liberation”

"Racism" has become the Original Sin of the White Liberal Guilt Religion, which is installed by the new clergy which is academia.

Just as I didn't buy into Original Sin when I was trying not to fall asleep at mass as a youngster, I feel I have no part in bearing the burden of racism accusations as an adult. I just live and let live. This despite getting an advanced degree (albeit in the sciences).

There has been vandalism and church burnings all over France for several years. The question which is not being asked in the media is, WHO IS DOING THIS?

Mosques have also been torched throughout Israel.

Europe and America as well.

WHO IS DOING THIS?

Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.

Tourist trap? I don’t agree.

Tourist traps are incredibly expensive wastes of time.

It costs nothing to enter Notre Dame. Île de la Cité is a pretty nice place to wander around and Square du Vert-Galant is a cool spot to sit and watch to traffic on the Seine.

Western Civ has, for centuries, played a back and forth between being grateful for its cultural heritage (such as Notre Dame) and being resentful for being tied down by it. This is nothing new at all - Western civ is torn between reverence and disdain for its past.

Take a look at the futurists in Italy, rock and roll of the 60s, or the post impressionists in france, or any number of modernist writers, trying to break open the straightjacket of this history of the west, so new things can be created.

Some artists have always craved 'liberation' and others have always craved working within a tradition. This is totally normal and gives us so much great art.

European culture and tradition has always been envied by the rest of the world, for good reason. People with an inferiority complex about anything will try to destroy what they are jealous of. While the whole world desperately tries to move into Europe/Ethnically European countries, they also seek to destroy these cultures and traditions, out of deep envy.

The Black Panther was a huge hit because it depicted an IMAGINARY equivalent of European civilization.

Library Journal Pushes to Destroy Book Collections Because ‘They Promote and Proliferate Whiteness’

Modern leftism will lead to a new dark age if it is not stopped, as all knowledge deemed ‘too white’ by the thought controllers will be destroyed

For a lot of people in France, Notre Dame is just a tourist trap. And in the days of the yellow vest movement, it is a symbol of the longstanding struggle between the people and the power held by the Catholic church and the rich. The French Revolution was fought against the unity of power between the aristocracy/monarchy and the Catholic Church. Notre Dame was the seat of that power during the French Revolution. So, while it is an extraordinary example of medieval architecture, it is also an uncomfortable reminder of the constant struggle for power in France between the centers of power in the church and upper class versus the working class French.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing that information.

Much of written history is a huge bunch of nonsensical hogwash anyway.

Destroying book collections like that could help to get rid of the nonsensical histories.

If said artifacts had remained in Africa they wouldn't exist today. They would've been burned, wrecked, sold on the black market, or in the personal possession of a warlord or dictator.

The countries of origin should be paying European countries for the service of safekeeping.

Yup, oh and we should just ignore the non-stop black on black genocide in Africa, and the widespread practice of cannibalism, and the widespread practice of black on black slavery.

These are the exact same things the "colonialists" noted in their earliest reports, and we're told that these evil white men must have been lying about the kangs in Africa.

Oh, and they still believe that AIDS is cured by raping children.

Without European museums, nobody would even know that Sub-Saharan Africans made artwork at all. Just like they never figured out how to invent the wheel or woven cloth or written word.

Nice try hoping that Egypt is in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Oh, and the Ancient Egyptians weren't even black:

Ancient Egyptians more closely related to Europeans than modern Egyptians, scientists claim

However Egyptologist says he is 'particularly suspicious of any statement that may have the unintended consequences of asserting – yet again from a northern European or North American perspective – that there’s a discontinuity' between ancient and modern populations

1) there is absolutely nothing wrong with insulting delusional belief systems, especially when they are fanatically held to the point of influencing laws and society. Ironically, new ones are now appearing to compete with the old ones and gaining equal protection from insult. Those who adhere to the old ones need to learn from this.

2) they said they saved the "crown of thorns." Do they mean THE crown of thorns? Still running a relic racket? What a shame that wasn't the first thing to burn.

Yet for the past 100 plus years white kids have desperately tried to talk, walk, act, dress, dance etc. like black kids.

And then the kids grow up and move as far away from them as possible, for obvious reasons.

I can’t figure out what qualifies a post for deletion. I feel like posts this blatant get deleted sometimes, but not all of the time. Is it literally just Rojo moderating these boards? Poor dude

Name an NBA basketball player who lives in a black neighborhood.

Look what happened to Nipsey Hussle when he ignored his survival instincts.

Apparently you have missed the lesson about how the most intelligent people lead the less than versatile, singular skill trained employees. For example, the last two major corporations I have worked at were run by a Princeton grad and a Harvard grad.

I am sure Jeff Bezos regrets going to Princeton. Obviously the type of students who are enrolled at Ivy League schools has nothing to with their superior intelligence to those of the students attending the more trade oriented schools, such as your NC State's of the world.

And by the way, you would be shocked at the scholarship and financial aid opportunities at superior institutions nowadays.
