Podcasts about southern whites

(Apologies for the audio in this episode, there was an issue with my mic, promise to have it fixed next episode!) In this episode… I introduce you to Dr. Thomas Sowell… One of the greatest thinkers of our time who played a major part in my unveiling and I can't recommend him enough to my audience. We will consolidate a specific section within his book Black Rednecks & White Liberals… this'll be fun. Extrapolating specifically on Cracker Culture and Butter. This book is nothing short of brilliance when it comes to the much needed historical context on how the complexities of culture develop overtime and are inherited from overseas. Many historians and scholars, such as Dr. Sowell, identify counterproductive cultural values and behavior patterns in the SOUTH of the US and see similar patterns connecting to their ancestry in Great Britain. Let us dive a bit deeper into the specific values and behaviors relating to VIOLENCE, AVERSION TO WORK, ENTREPRENEURSHIP and EDUCATION… and see how these compare with the northerners of the US….   Butter is involved I swear.   It is astonishing, on how different these regions are in various sectors relating to culture, success, economic development and productivity. These statistical disparities and observations that existed between SOUTHERN WHITES and NORTHERN WHITES in the past… are often taken as EVIDENCE OR PROOF of RACIAL DISCRIMINATION when similar disparities are found between black and white populations today. I don't buy the blanket term of systemic racism… neither racial discrimination or inferiority can explain these differences we discuss in this episode between northern and southern whites from earlier centuries. Even the differences between northern blacks vs. southern whites… I hope this opens some doors and raises eyebrows for further discussion.   Enjoy. Or not.   Yours Truly.   “What the REDNECKS or CRACKERS brought with them… was a whole constellation of values and behavior patterns that might of made sense in the world they lived in for centuries… but were counterproductive in the world to which they were going… and counterproductive to the blacks… who would live in the midst for centuries, taking with them… similar values…”   REFERENCES:   Thomas Sowell - Black Rednecks & White Liberals Grady McWhiney - Cracker Culture: Celtic Ways in the South David Hackett Fischer - Albion's Seed Alexis de Tocqueville - Democracy in America --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/unveiledpatriot/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/unveiledpatriot/support

Born into slavery on a Virginia plantation, Booker T. Washington's relentless pursuit of an education would eventually bring him such renown that he would become the first Black American ever invited to a private dinner at the White House. Surrounded by bigotry, his advancement looked by what seemed overwhelming obstacles at every turn, his superhuman discipline, relentless persistence and willingness to work not only earned himself a first-rate education; his attitude had been so impressive, and his achievements so notable, that he was offered the position of Director of the Tuskegee Institute, the first source of higher education for blacks in the deep south. He arrived at Tuskegee to discover that there was no Tuskegee Institute: no buildings, no property and no staff. Through sheer force of character, he found a way to to raise a magnificent brick structure on the ground of a formerly abandoned plantation, and would start a partnership that would eventually be responsible for over five thousand individual school buildings for black students all across the South. His message of hard work, self-reliance, good will and personal discipline won him the respect, admiration and assistance of the same Southern Whites that had once owned him as property, and his example of self-respect and friendly cooperation is one we could use very much today.

Why did Reconstruction fail? Why didn’t the post-war Federal government protect the civil rights of the newly freed slaves? And why did it take Washington almost a century to intercede on the behalf of beleaguered, oppressed African Americans in the South? In a terrific new book, Charles Lane explains why. The Day Freedom Died. The Colfax Massacre, the Supreme Court, and the Betrayal of Reconstruction (Henry Holt, 2008) tells the tale of a little-known though remarkably important incident: the murder of close to 100 freedmen by a posse of White supremacists in Louisiana in 1873. Charles does an excellent job of narrating this heart-wrenching and disturbing event. The book would be worth reading for that story alone. But he really comes into his own in describing the legal aftermath of the slaughter. With all the skill of a seasoned reporter–which he is–Charles chronicles the passage of the Colfax case from the courts of New Orleans to the U.S. Supreme Court. The result was a landmark decision–United States v. Cruikshank–that effectively placed the civil rights of Southern African Americans in the hands of Southern Whites for almost a century, with predictable results. A must-read for anyone interested in Reconstruction, constitutional law, and the sad history of race-relations in the United States.
