We are now at the point where even the so-called "white silence" is declared racism: if someone does not kneel in the street when members of the BLM movement walk in front of him, then his silence is exclusionary and racist, Tamás Magyarics told vasarnap.hu , lecturer at Eötvös Loránd University.
A conversation with the head of ELTE's Department of American Studies about the changing American historical narratives can be read, from which we quote some details.
By the late 1960s, the civil rights movement had made a breakthrough, resulting in the passage of many laws that favored racial and ethnic minorities.
– To what extent did they find social support?
- To a limited extent, but over the decades, various efforts have softened American public opinion. Finally, the great American historical narrative of that time also began to be eroded. Already from the 80s, there were universities and colleges that saw white racial supremacy in the works of ancient philosophers and Christian theologians.
Since they and their ancestors could create little lasting, they attributed this to white oppression. some universities and research institutes came to the point where they now claim that the United States of America was created by white exploitation.
Today, a complex system of state institutions is working to change the past.

– Is that why they are trying to push George Washington and Thomas Jefferson out of the history of states, among others?
– Not only historical narratives are transformed, but also everything else, for example literature. For years, the new teaching of literature has been trying to reduce the number and weight of white authors in the curriculum. There was nothing wrong with them, just that they were white!
This movement, which is creeping into all areas of life, is increasingly beginning to resemble the transformation of a society based on mass psychosis.
All this goes beyond all common sense. We are now at the point where the so-called "white silence" is also declared racism. So if someone doesn't kneel in the street when members of the BLM movement walk past them, they are exclusionary and racist with their silence.
The worst thing is that a scapegoating mechanism has started . Now white, heterosexual men are in the crosshairs.
The Democratic Party currently strongly supports these movements - even though it used to be the party of the slaveholders. In their election campaign, they also promised to give compensation to the descendants of slaves.
