National Geographic acknowledges decades-long coverage was racist
The Telegraph ^ | March 13, 2018 | Mark Molloy

Posted on 03/13/2018 8:56:01 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

ational Geographic has admitted its past reporting on different cultures around the world was racist.

The US magazine acknowledged in an editorial that for decades its “coverage was racist”, adding that the only way to rise above its past was to “acknowledge it”.

For its upcoming issue, dedicated solely to race and how it “defines, separates, and unites us”, the magazine asked a preeminent historian to examine the publication’s own history.

“The only fair thing to do now is to publish pictures of bare-breasted white women, until the numbers of such photos equals the past number of bare-breasted non-white women.”

The only public displays are in feminist marches. You want to blind the readership?

***
You are correct. How stupid of me.
Let’s change it to “. . . pictures of bare-breasted white women, who are Not Guilty in Free Republic.”

Eventually I came to think of the coverage as racist. I lived in Europe as a kid and Euro women didn't mind going naked in certain public places. Seeing 40 year old women change clothes out in the open was a surprise for me.

Years later I got a subscription and it had turned all Enviro-nazi and SJW. I canceled.

That’s really Siberia, and a local picture of the widely celebrated event of Maslenitsa (the last week before Lent), corresponding to our Carnival.

I quit National Geographic a while back

I did so before 1990, and now use them to exercise ridicule.

Maybe do re-issues with the gals donning castoff Old Navy t-shirts to cover up.

Shirts courtesy of racist Americans donating to Goodwill, United Way etc.

It was the Darwinist point of view being forced into the mushy little heads of children-—that the blacks were closer to the naked apes. Whites were civilized. It is weaponized “news” to embed hate (hate for others and hate/guilt for self) for the future race wars—the Dialectic—for the chaos needed so total takeover of the World can “progress”.

The dehumanization of the Blacks has always been No. 1 in Hollywood—but since the 70s it is the destruction of the Natural Family (the foundational unit for all civilizations which makes agency and individualism possible) and pitting Blacks against Whites—because the elimination of White culture (Christianity) must happen for mass slavery again, since only Christians considered “slavery” Evil. Now, the media is normlaizing vice in little children since vice creates slaves for the State. Only virtuous people can be free and create a “Just” government and even then, power will corrupt some.

The control of perceptions of the masses is the reason that the cartel. got control of all publishing agencies, including Time, National Geographic, Newsweek, Life, etc., and owned (or killed) MSM producers to control the narrative and to flip Christian worldview (Kill God group) to the pagan, Darwinism of Marxism. (Collectivist v. Individual Natural Rights from God (Western Civilization destruction tor totalitarianism).

The elite cartels took over the major Christian organizations and the Catholic Church with VII to dechristianize them—ecumenicalism—to make Good into Evil, etc. and flip 2000 years of ethics back to paganism—Babylonian culture of baby-sacrifice, pederasty, homosexuality (narcissism), occult orgies, slavery, pedophilia, misogyny (objectifying all human beings reduced to irrational godless animals.)

To control the narrative is to control the minds.....and the Darwinian Marxists have controlled even our skools by 1930s, and completely by 1970s. They habituate a sick worldview in young children inside the Prussian mass conformity center, designed to destroy agency (free will) and individualism, to create atheists, a dependent, materialistic, nihilistic worldview in children, so they will be happy slaves for the elites. (Their weaponized curricula is working. Get your children out of public schools, and off of screens—dehumanizing systems).

I read the article (someone posted it on FB), and there were some truly questionable NG comments from long ago (ex: describing a cotton worker as a pickaninny). But then the article discusses NG’s detailed coverage of Halie Sallase’s crowning as king of Ethiopia while their was no coverage honoring a black man in the US during the 1930’s as racist. Further, they showed a picture of some natives from some country examining a camera in wonder, and declared that THAT was racist (because the natives were amazed at the technology).

Yeah, NG. You can apologize for past indiscretions. But when you identify just about everything you did covering POC in the past as racist, then you’re merely virtue signaling and your words mean nothing.
