White Nationalist,
White Supremacist,
Western Civilization
How Did That Language
Become Offensive?

 


"I’m not in the business of offering 'damage control'
for this shrinking segment of America which has no
conscience, no heart, and wants to know when 'white
supremacy' became offensive to everyone who
wasn’t white and yet enduring under it?"




White Citizens Council/Trump Party Grand Pooh-Bah Steve King asked this allegedly innocent and naive, if not completely disingenuous question last week and I feel compelled, if not obligated by having a spine to answer him with the absolute truth . . . : “How,” “how“ King ask did these “all American” terms come to be regarded as “offensive?” White Americans have adopted and embraced these terms to explain their deep desire to “rule the world,” to achieve global control to the extent the “sun never sets on European empires around the globe.”

White America has embraced this “offensive” language, and the terms have earned their sinister reputations the old fashioned way . . . they’ve earned the scorn and contempt they generate because you’ve said and much more significantly done , carried-out countless dastardly deeds under the banner of these “loaded” words and the ideologies - that they’ve earned the negative and hostile connotations they carry with them.

These terms-of tyrannical oppression serve as White men’s national “brand” - White nationalist represents the millions of white folks who’ve stock-piled personal tanks and bazookas, paranoidly formed “minuet-man” militias over the last quarter century . . . fueled-by a desperate desire to forcibly take-back “their” nation and make it pre-civil rights era snow-white again. White Supremacist - the Klan obviously comes to mind for all my life their bigoted goals have been deemed that of . . . White racist.. Lastly, Western civilization: Where do I start? From the goddamn beginning . . . Columbus was a crown-sanctioned, sponsored and endorsed pirate, he was certainly no “Dora the explorer.”

The Klan, local police, uncountable soldiers and the WASP rank n’ file - they all back Trump - that paints and taints all these folks as “White Power” advocates who believe in an all-white USA, of, for and by white people.

In the name of “White supremacy,” of expanding Western civilizations to the four- corners of the globe, European colonialism stole the land from the Natives, enslaved Africans, over multiple generations - forced them by whip, rope and gun to provide the blood, sweat and tears required to construct an empire virtually overnight. Then they strong-armed the US Southwest lands from Mexicans, who’d already fell victim to a genocidal Spain. And least we ignore the defeated 1865 Confederate losers wanted Central America as a vast plantation - the expanding and entrenching of white supremacy and domination.

Pimpin’ aint easy!!!

The term “American Exceptionalism” which is tossed-around by those on the “Right” translates into “White male supremacy.” “American supremacy” really means “white supremacy” which culminates in global domination . . . attainable by any diabolical means white men deem acceptable . . . understand these are the guys who put babies in cages . . . . And “American nationalist” seems to be the latest definition King is hiding behind . . . God, I wish these cats had the testicles to say what they believe, because we all know what they believe in both their hearts and minds - White America, Trump’s America, i.e., most white people, particularly and specifically white males simply don’t “like” Black people. Their history, the documented historical facts scream exactly that - there’s little speculation involved - it’s cut n’ dried . . . Trump and his minions would like to put us back in chains . . . ask him!


Think about it . . . this nation was repulsed a couple of years ago when we witnessed a Jordanian pilot “set-afire” while alive, in a cage by ISIS extremist/barbarians . . . someone tell me how that horrific incident differs from all the pictures one can thumb-through if they Goggle “American lynchings of black people . . .” never, ever . . . never forget Black women and children were too lynched, mutilated and burned far-beyond recognition by their assailants -all those white folks. in the foreground of the black n’ white picture who’re smiling, waving, eating ice cream and waving proudly at the camera . . . . Four little girls were blown up in a Birmingham church, under the guise of White Nationalism. The NFL has blackballed Colin Kaepernick, denied him a well-earned position in the NFL- based upon White supremacy and domination. Police brutality rules the land, from coast to coast -it’s aim is to maintain white control and dominance.

Can you say “White Power?” Trump can., and does, everyday.

Sorry, I know I’m supposed to “sugar coat” that well-documented tragic historical fact . . . however I chose not to, I’m not in the business of offering “damage control” for this shrinking segment of America which has no conscience, no heart, and wants to know when “white supremacy” became offensive to everyone who wasn’t white and yet enduring under it?

As we turn the page, Trump is doing an excellent job of playing dumb . . . and informing the press he’s oblivious to the Congressman King’s “situation.” Yet he’s Tweeting/quoting aging white nationalist columnist Pat Buchanan, the former communications director for President Ronald Reagan and one of Tricky Dick Nixon’s boys: "The United States, as we have known it, is going to cease to exist ... And Americans will not go gentle into that good night,"

Buchanan went on to write: "The more multiracial, multi-ethnic, multicultural, multilingual America becomes -- the less it looks like Ronald Reagan's America -- the more dependably Democratic it will become. The Democratic Party is hostile to white men, because the smaller the share of the US population that white men become, the sooner that Democrats inherit the national estate.""

Well slap my black ass and call me Uncle Remus . . . but I think these good ol’ boys are talking about maintaining “white supremacy” and domination far beyond their numerical fair share. Their “Wall” is merely symbolic of a philosophy which is preoccupied with keeping America as white as possible.

When you ponder the ironic thought - blacks, who never got “40 acres and a jackass,” and Indians who’ve been forced to live on “unlivable” reservations . . . we are the direct-descendants of those who did all the heavy-lifting, got their hands dirty, used up all their elbow grease, work their fingers down to the elbows, broke their backs, gave their ancestral land and endured horrific lives . . . all in order to handcraft this “Whites only” Utopia - Buchanan’s “National estate.” We are as entitled to our fair share of this decadent empire as you.

Down with “white power,” up with “all power to the people.” Yeah you bet your ass I said it.
