Schoolchildren Taught Black People Built Stonehenge

As part of decolonised history curricula, schoolchildren are now being taught that black people built Stonehenge and that the Roman Emperor Nero married a trans woman. The Mail has the story.

Pro-transgender teaching materials also claim that genital mutilation of slaves was a form of “gender transition”.

But landmark British victories such as those at Waterloo and Trafalgar go largely untaught – with research suggesting as few as one in ten schools include them on the curriculum.

A Policy Exchange investigation has warned that schools have “taken it too far” as they adapt history curriculums in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests.

The prestigious centre-Right unit found that George Floyd’s death in 2020 led to schools hastily including material about ethnic minorities to appear “anti-racist”.

Former history teacher and chairman of Campaign for Real Education Chris McGovern said it was ‘clear that the subject has been captured by the Left’.

The report added that some resources, such as the book Brilliant Black British History, push “contested narratives” – such as black people building Stonehenge.

The book is marketed as “a must-have in any school library” but its claim that early black Britons built the world-famous Neolithic stone circle is “hotly contested and outside mainstream historical thinking” yet “presented as fact”, according to the think-tank. …

One resource, from the Classical Association’s ‘Queering the Past’ project, claims the Roman Emperor Nero married a trans woman called Sporus but omits the fact that they probably underwent a forced castration rather than consensual gender reassignment. …

Separately, the think tank also gathered responses to Freedom of Information requests about the curriculum sent to 249 nationally-representative secondary schools.

The responses revealed the most popular curriculum topic taught to children aged 11 to 14 was the Transatlantic Slave Trade, taught in 99% of schools.

At the other end of the scale, the Battles of Waterloo and Trafalgar were taught in just 11% of schools, while for Agincourt it was 18%.

If they hadn’t been so busy doing that they wouldn’t need the Build a Water Well charity appeal currently in place.

You have hit the nail on the head.

Why, after thousands of years, is the White Man needed to build even water wells in Africa?

Some western charities supplied African village women with solar cookers, so they wouldn’t have to trudge miles through deforested land to bring back firewood from land rapidly being deforested by them.

But they didn’t want to change their ways, and just abandoned the solar cookers, and kept hacking down the trees.

And the “genital mutilation” of slaves shipped from sub-Saharan Africa to the Middle East sultanates was only the males to stop them reproducing to ensure they didn’t outnumber the indigenous, and to prevent mixed race populations.

There is no contest, or discussion, whether hot or cold. There were no stone age/iron age black Britons. Cheddar Man wasn’t black and the Roman Army were not British as they were an occupying army.

Of course black people built Stonehenge.

Or at least that is what my Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-

Grandad told me – and he knows ‘cos he did the double-glazing.

But of course he was white but identified as black in the days when people were not so picky about skin colour and you could be a blue cat if you wanted.

Life today is so much more complicated. Women want to be called women but women who are not women also want to be called women and everyone throws their hands in the air in horror.

My Neolithic ancestors could teach you all a thing or two about tolerance.

Again, nothing original.
During the Stalinist era the history books were re-written to teach that almost all the modern inventions came from Russians.
You thought radio was invented by Marconi? No! It was Popov.
To me it seems like a textbook case of overcompensating for an inferiority complex.

…Roman Emperor Nero married a trans woman.

From Wikipedia:

The power struggle between Nero and his mother reached its climax when he orchestrated her murder. Roman sources also implicate Nero in the deaths of both his wife Claudia Octavia – supposedly so he could marry Poppaea Sabina – and his stepbrother Britannicus.

In AD 67, Nero married Sporus, a young boy who is said to have greatly resembled Poppaea. Nero had him castrated and married him with all the usual ceremonies, including a dowry and a bridal veil. It is believed that he did this out of regret for his killing of Poppaea.

But ‘she’ was trans – so that’s all alright.

It is even worse with Egypt. There are people who actually want to claim that the great pyramid was built by black people. You read the ancient texts and they all talk about a race of bearded white guys who brought them the good things in life after the catastrophe.

It can’t be really called wrong because we simply don’t know. Whatever remains from this time might still be available, they contain no detail information about of skin colour. That it must have been black is a politically motivated conjecture which can neiter be proven nor disproven. In other words, it’s a fictional story with absolutely no relevance for anything and as such, obviously shouldn’t be taught in schools except perhaps in classes about English literature if there’s English literature about this beyond the pseudo-textbooks themselves.

Have they found any skulls/skeletons with African characteristics in Britain?

African characteristics vary widely in Africa itself, ie, don’t really exist. And that people who lived somewhere 5000 – 3000 years ago might have had a skin colour we might have regarded as black doesn’t mean they must have had any other properties we would presently associate with African. In particular, this means characteristics associated with the wild mixture of Africans from different tribes and regions which is nowadays known as black people living in the USA. Nothing like that existed anywhere on this planet in 2000BC.

Insofar there’s a discussions about this topic, it’s of the same nature as the historical discussion about needles dancing on the pin of an angel (or so): A competition of fictional narratives about things we don’t know, cannot ever determine and which don’t matter in the slightest for anything in the real world of today.

A good reaction to this would be: “Americans and people who really want to be Americans are hereby unkindly asked to keep their race relation problems to themselves instead of fighting US domestic politics proxy wars all over the world just because that’s all they really care for”.

I am not an expert in this field but I am pretty sure that people who are can do analysis on skulls and other bones and see clusters of things that are similar and relate to shapes found now. All the evidence points to the likelihood that Stonehenge was built by white people – evidence including the relative development of civilisations across the planet.

Africa is the continent with the largest genetic variety on this planet and with peoples ranging from extremely tall and lean to very small. A common African phenotype doesn’t exist and in particular, the American black people don’t represent it. They could almost be called an artifical race created by selective breeding.

Apart from that, if you really do feel like argueing about needles and pins and angels and suchlike, just join the cohorts of people already doing so. Just for the fun of it, I hereby claim that the people who built Stonehenge must have been purple.

What sub Saharan Africa doesn’t have is a huge variety of examples of indigenously developed technology or capability comparable to most other regions on Planet Earth. Occam’s Razor says Stonehenge was not built by “Black people from Africa” but by “White people from Europe”.

As the German saying goes: Not macht erfinderisch. Could be translated into English as Necessity is the mother of all inventions. Compared to our hostile climate, Africa is a paradise and hence, people born there never had a need to invent a lot of stuff.

I still claim that Stonehenge must have been built by purple people because everyone agrees that skin colour is the defining characeristic of mankind and as there’s no feat like it, it must have been built by people whose skin colour was not like that of anybody else. Maybe even purple with criss-cross of light green and yellow stripes.

We really don’t know, will really never know and it still really doesn’t matter. Except to present day US race warriors seeking to infect the world with their muddled thinking.

Unfortunately it’s not just these people, I’m amazed how corporations such as Amazon immediately play along… When I first heard about this Brilliant Black British History book I checked and it had a rating of less than two stars – reviews were like 96% giving it one star and 4% giving it five – which is demographically correct. Today its rating is 4.2, with some actually giving it five stars but calling it BS in the actual review – probably just to make sure it goes through the filters.

I’m absolutely sure kids will have a good laugh learning about these times in 100 years or so…

This is all silly talk anyway. Britain will be majority black much more quickly than that. The money masters are planning on using an exponential model for immigration for another decade. This is leaving aside disparities in breeding levels. You have no chance as a white person in this country. There is nothing left to defend. The bioweapon removed the spirit and resolve to defend.

So all these thousands or tens of thousands of ‘Black People’ happened to be here, at just that time in history, found these huge stones lying around, pulled them up and got them to stay up … then promptly disappeared leaving no evidence of their presence and no offspring to continue populating these islands.

I guess they got exterminated when the Dinosaurs turned up looking for something to eat.

It’s really not much more fantastic than the claim that black people lived in Britain for tenthousands of years and suddenly started to bleach less than 3000 years ago (Stonehenge estimated to have been completed around 1600BC).

Well that clarifies what I suspected about history in schools. When watching quiz programmes on TV the level of historical ignorance is astonishing. Obviously highly educated contestants completely ignorant over basic historical dates and facts. If you don’t know your past how can you make decisions about the future. But apparently that is not important anymore!

DNA degrades over time, and no matter what “woke scientists” falsely claim, they CANNOT DETERMINE HAIR, EYE OR SKIN COLOUR from ancient bones. And Ethnic Europeans are NOT DESCENDED FROM AFRICANS or any other Third World Ethnic group.

God created the races SEPARATELY, and punished miscegenation, as described in the Old Testament book of Nehemiah 13:27.

“Should we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?”

The real danger of the Communist/Globalists stirring up Third World Ethnics against Ethnic Europeans by creating fantasy world history is that the Third World Ethnics start to believe the FANTASY, start to believe the LIES, and feel a FALSE, BLOATED SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT, ENVY & MURDEROUS HATRED against the White Man.

This propaganda is incitement to WHITE GENOCIDE.

Notice that schoolchildren are NOT taught about the WHITE SLAVE TRADE, which has been going on for at least 2000 years, unlike the Transatlantic trade in African slaves, which only lasted a couple of centuries, before being STOPPED BY THE WHITE MAN.
