The set of historical myths demonizing whites grows yearly. Recent additions include blaming the 1917 Houston massacre (black troops murdered 16 white civilians) on racism, retconning Tulsa race riots into a massacre, and turning the Belgian Congo into a quasi-Holocaust.

Libs have near-total hegemony over history academia, which means all of these blood libels get laundered into textbooks, and from there into Wikipedia, LLMs, news articles, government reports, TV shows, movies, and so on. Obviously extremely ominous and needs to be countered.

Important thing is that all of this revisionist history is new - it wasn't believed by the people there at the time and who investigated it immediately afterwards. No new evidence came out, it's all ideological winds shifting towards Radio Rwanda.

Some other readings on more historical myths (Reconstruction revisionism, Indian boarding schools as genocide, exaggerating Colombus' nastiness, Late Victorian Holocausts).
