      Incredible, horrifying passage from Theodore H. White’s acclaimed “The Making of the President-1964,” describing what he calls the “close-to-animal Negro community of the South.” As a whole, the book offers quite a window into mid-century white, liberal racial thought./1pic.twitter.com/wFSmLlchYN

      Elsewhere, White, invoking fears of fanatics on both sides, speaks of “the primordial fact of race hatred.” He acknowledges the serious problem of racism, but throughout highlights the problem of black extremists. /2

      White locates the problem of racism strictly in the South and he is perplexed by the “race riots” in the North. As he writes, “It was as if Southern white crime required Northern Negroes to take vengeance on Northern whites.” /3

      White perpetuates the common theory of the time that African Americans had been stripped of culture. “Deprived of both personality and identity, stripped of tongue and culture, blacks were civilized by the lash.” /4

      White is channelling some academic history here, right? Stanley Elkin in particular.

      Yes, and the story is fascinating and, strangely, circles back to Theodore H. White. 1/

      My advisor, the late Lawrence W. Levine, wrote his great book, Black Culture and Black Consciousness, in part as a response to Stanley Elkins' 1959 book on slavery. Larry, of course, was drawing on African American scholarship as well as the work of Melville J. Herskovits. /2

      Stanley and Larry were both students of Richard Hofstadter. In fact, Larry published an early piece of his research in the Hofstadter festschrift co-edited by Elkins, The Hofstadter Aegis. Larry's article was on "the meaning of the slave trickster." /3

      And the circle closes a bit more when we consider, as I mentioned to @drewmckevitt yesterday, that White's second wife, Beatrice, had previously been married to Hofstadter. /4

      Ah, I didn't know that about Hofstadter/White. Small world! White showed some neo-con tendencies in 1970s, so perhaps larger story here is continuity between Cold War liberalism and neo-cons on race.
