You Must Remember

How they have tainted the memory of our ancestors. How they have squandered our great empire. We had our sights set on the stars. You must remember.

Where are we now? They dragged us back into the dirt of racial strife. Forced to crawl through the weeds of mediocrity.

Did the great races we admire think of their ancestors this way? Were the late Romans ashamed of the supposed barbarism of their ancestors? Did the Greks see their first kin as monsters like we do?

No, the Greks recognized their land as the land of their fathers. It was both where their fathers were buried and the land their fathers WON for their prosperity. What lay on the outside of that was folly. One of the great punishments to be inflicted upon a Grek was exile. Exile from the land of his fathers.

Roman Patricians had on their estates something that could only be described as an ancestor room. They made busts out of the heads of their ancestors to display in this room. Sons would venture into these rooms and have their souls set on fire to surpass the accomplishments of their great ancestors. To leave an even bigger mark. Excellence through ancestor worship. This is how you must think about your ancestors. Reverence of the highest order.

You’re told to be ashamed of your ancestors for their “crimes against humanity,” but how much more terrible and brutal were the Greks and Romans? How much more terrible and brutal were all the other peoples before Englishmen and Americans came around?

How could you honor racist slave holders? Hah! To own slaves was the rule in history. Did the blacks not sell their own to our ancestors? There are slaves today still. Most of us would fit the name — we just don’t call it that anymore.

 The illusion of freedom is NOT freedom. The illusion of choice is NOT choice. That’s what we have, illusions. We are not sovereigns. We do not control the fate of our people.

Our ancestors did nothing wrong. There is nothing you should be ashamed of. Nothing you should feel guilty over.

Our ancestors took over a landmass the size of a Russia or China in almost record time. After capturing the eastern coast, they made it to the Pacific Ocean in less than a century. Do not doubt the greatness of your ancestors or the capacity for the greatness in your blood.

Our ancestors were forced out of civilization. Forced back into nature. Made to prove their worth to the world. Made to stand trial before God himself.
