Brother Ali vs. White Supremacy part 24

Count Volney, a French intellectual and one of the first of the French to study the ruins in Egypt, pretty much sums up WHY the Europeans felt a need to white wash history. The guy is writing 200 years ago (so he’s not some sort of multicultural historical revisionist). He says:

Just imagine, finally, that it is in the midst of peoples who call themselves the greatest friends of liberty and humanity that one has approved the most barbarous slavery and questioned whether black men have the same kind of intelligence as Whites!

Volney also says:

I was tempted to attribute it to the climate, but when I visited the Sphinx, its appearance gave me the key to the riddle.
