The views of the Authors are not necessarily the views of Enigmose.
Many whites are ashamed, saddened and feel guilty about our history of slavery, Jim Crow and gross racial discrimination. Many black people remain angry over the injustices of the past and what they see as injustices of the present. Both blacks and whites can benefit from a better appreciation of black history.
Often overlooked or ignored is the fact that, as a group, black Americans have made the greatest gains, over some of the highest hurdles, and in a shorter span of time than any other racial group in history.
For example, if one totaled up the earnings and spending of black Americans and considered us as a separate nation with our own gross domestic product, we would rank well within the top 20 richest nations. A black American, Gen. Colin Powell, once headed the world's mightiest military. Black Americans are among the world's most famous personalities, and a few black Americans are among the world's richest people such as investor Robert F. Smith, IT service provider David Steward, Oprah Winfrey, and basketball star Michael Jordan. Plus, there was a black U.S. president.
The significance of these achievements cannot be overstated. When the Civil War ended, neither a slave nor a slave owner would have believed such progress would be possible in less than a century and a half — if ever. As such, it speaks to the intestinal fortitude of a people. Just as important, it speaks to the greatness of a nation in which such gains were possible. Nowhere else on earth could such progress have been achieved except in the United States of America.

Marx and Engels were ardent Racists whose views were similar to Hitlers
Karl Marx was an ardent racist as was his co-conspirator, Frederick Engels. Socialism and communism were hotbeds of anti-antisemitism and racism in the early years. In the 1930s the Western Socialist realm divided itself into the Nazi wing and the Stalinist wing. Contrary to current day dogma, yes - the Nazis were indeed socialists who emphasized the racial aspects of the socialist dementia, as opposed to the Stalinist faction, which concentrated more heavily on sewing strife via socio-economic class warfare.
For Marx, racism wasn’t contradictory to his ideological views. Marx believed, as did many leftists of his time, that for “progress” to take place, some ethnicities had to be eliminated and figuratively devoured by more advanced and powerful nations. Much like Margaret Sanger, the founder of planned parenthood, who believed the Negro race should be eugenically abolished as they were "human weeds that should never have been born". Read More
