In Part Six of Us and Them, Shahid Bolsen relocates the entire conversation about so-called white people back to reality — starting with the most basic fact: physically, no human being is white. Steven Biko said it in the dock. Black and white are opposites. Humans are not birds. The category was never biological. Then Bolsen traces the actual history — what European peoples were before the concept of whiteness was invented, and why it was invented.
The intra-European hatred, the feudalism that was slavery under different branding, the pagan blood sacrifice that your days of the week still commemorate, the occult tradition that runs unbroken from the Germanic tribes through Freemasonry to the founding of America. The Renaissance as a copy-paste project from an Islamic civilization that was producing algebra and surgery while European peasants slept with their livestock.
The Bacon's Rebellion origin of racial categories — manufactured not from hatred but from fear, specifically the fear of poor Europeans and enslaved Africans organizing together. The Irish who became white by enforcing the racial order against Black Americans. The Italian lynching that became Columbus Day. The Harvard professors whose eugenics Hitler cited by name. And the closing line that strips the entire American ideological project to its actual operating code: all people are equal, but not all people are people.
