After a beer or two, he told me, if I recall his words well: "Look, Tom, I have been lecturing in biology; I can get away with saying things to my students about race that you will never ever be able to in humanities."<br /><br />Being young and living in the allegedly freest country in the world, I did not exactly understand what he meant. Years later I grasped the meaning of his words. I realized that there are academic fields in humanities that are subject to strict inquisitorial control and to undisputed canons of political rectitude. This sacred triangle consists of three subjects: a) modern historiography; b) Jewish power and influence; and c) the race question. Lecturing on these topics in an open an honest way on these topics means receiving a kiss of academic death.<br />Intellectual terror in American colleges is well-hidden behind the garb of feigned academic conviviality and the "have-a-wonderful-day" rhetoric of superficially friendly peers. Yet is has far more insidious effects than the naked terror I experienced in a drab ex-Communist Europe.<br /><br />http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/authors/Sunic-RaceIII.html#TSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
