THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

SORRY! AND THANK GOD FOR DEREK | 2005-12-21

I am very tired, and it seems my dream of a seminar has gone down in ruins, though I'll feel better tomorrow.

Derek saved the evening for me. He said,

"The mantra is simple. I have read a million little studies about getting people "on the same page". Much like getting a group of youngsters to sing "row, row, your boat" we need to get people to start singing the race problem is really the white problem. "

"This is simple and effective."

Thank you, Derek!

We CAN change everything. But we have to make a beginning. We have to develope the means to get our message down to basics and sell those basics.

Western science started with people like Newton applying simple gravity everywhere. It got going with Occam's Razor, which said all the scholastic complications were absurd.

We now have while blackboards full of equations that WORK from simple basic laws of thermodynamics.

And every inch of the way we had to fight the byways that lead nowhere.

A classic remark to Galileo was, "You cannot overturn the whole weight of Genesis with a tube that has a piece of glass in each end."

He DID overturn the authority of Genesis with a tube that had a piece of glass in each end. Even the most literal Bible literalist still insists that the earth is the center of the universe and the stars were just spread around it.

His enemies were reduced to imprisoning people for disagreeing, just as they are today against us.

As Derek says, while everybody else is arguing with established religion point by point, we need to see what strict attention to reality can do.

That is what built white society, and that is how we save it.
