Here is the Blog Post, but this post is about one of the comments:

Said Adam Schiff on Bill Maher's show last night.

That is the total blog post by Professor Althouse.

Had the allied Greek forces not defeated the Persians at Plataea and Mycale, history might have been quite different.

Of course, the Greeks defeating the Persians is emblematic of White Patriarchal Oppression and White Supremacy.

Naturally. 2/10/18, 1:48 PM

(Battle of Plataea (479 BC) and Battle of Mycale, the same day.)

Exactly.  Well, except the word is "Caucasian".
