Well, yeah, okay, but if there WERE any, you racists still wouldn't visit them!

Rutgers women’s and gender studies professor decries the lack of white interest in ‘indigenous libraries’

Here is where I land most days about white people. And I actually have been helped in this by thinking about indigenous people, right? See, part of the challenge around whiteness is that it totally skews our view of everything… 
 The world didn’t start when white people arrived in America and tried to tell all the rest of us how things were going to go. There were people out here making worlds, Africans and indigenous people, being brilliant and, you know, libraries and inventions and, you know, vibrant notions of humanity* and cross-cultural exchange long before white people showed up being raggedy and violent and terrible and trying to take everything from everybody.

Native Americans had no written language, so books from that glorious period of engaging in “vibrant notions of humanity” with Africans (?) are non-existent. Other than that, I’m sure the professor has a point.
