White Supremacy/Nationalists are about power. Racism is the vehicle.

The Caucasian movement that results in murders in the USA is about power at the highest levels as Trump demonstrated in his politics. What is so incredible is that there is no reverse racism. The Southern USA is awash with white politicians and they are elected with minority Americans voting for them. There are black legislators, but, they are disproportionate to their populations. 


As an example of the nature of minority representation is Mississippi (click here). There is a comprehensive list of the African American representatives in Mississippi past and present (click here). The state has been represented primarily by Caucasian men and women. The graph above spans four generations. That is 80 years and the phenomena has yet to end.

As of 2022:

Mississippi Demographics (click here)

According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of Mississippiwas:

White: 58.00%
Black or African American: 37.68%
Two or more races: 1.68%
Other race: 1.14%
Asian: 1.00%
Native American: 0.47%
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.04%

What is sad but true is to understand some of the US House members that are extremists, such as Marjory Taylor Greene. She is considered the best qualified for federal office in her district. Hoping to change such characters out of the US House through exposure of their disqualifying demeanor is not a real choice. Some areas of the USA have disparities in education and with that sophistication in understanding government and the USA Constitution. Basically, these populations are easily lead to vote for people they believe represents their values that are mostly populous in nature.

In the USA such dynamics is called politics. It isn't real, it is simply relating to the voters and driving the vote to the polls. Then once elected and heading to Washington, DC to represent the people they roll back the rhetoric and begin to actually govern. That was the old school. Today, the person heading to Washington, DC is exactly what they appear, extremists that do not find the USA Constitution helpful in their lives or the lives of their constituents, hence, Trump and his minions such as Greene and Hawley.

On November 15, 2022 the world population reached 8 billion people (click here). That is interesting to discuss in many ways, but, in relation to White Supremacy/Nationalists the news does not get better. You see in the graph below the pale face is the least populated across the entire Earth. It has been the case for most of the existence of people on Earth.

The concern of the world is not about skin color and the preservation of it. The focus of genocide is not about skin color either as it can change in a tanning booth and one turns the color orange. Issues of ethnicity are about culture, language and the right of those realities to exist, their populations increase and their land secure in the borders that provide them a homeland. Earth has never nor will ever be dominated by Caucasian people. Let's face it the original inhabitants of the USA were the Red Man or Native American Indians. The Caucasians came to dominate the land in the USA long before there were organized governments that cared about humanity and the end of Adolph Hitler.

Sometime in May 2020, Payton Gendron, (click here) a 16-year-old in upstate New York, was browsing the website 4chan when he came across a GIF.

It was taken from a livestream recording made the previous year by a gunman as he killed 51 people and wounded more than 40 others at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The killer had written a manifesto explaining that he was motivated by the fear of great replacement theory, the racist belief that secretive forces are importing nonwhite people to dilute countries’ white majorities.

Seeing the video and the manifesto “started my real research into the problems with immigration and foreigners in our white lands — without his livestream I would likely have no idea about the real problems the West is facing,” Mr. Gendron wrote in his own manifesto, posted on the internet shortly before, officials say, he drove to a Tops grocery store in Buffalo and carried out a massacre of his own that left 10 Black people dead.

The authorities say Mr. Gendron’s attack in May mimicked the massacre in Christchurch not just in its motivation but also in tactics....

...That’s why it is alarming to see the great replacement idea espoused by political leaders around the globe, including Jordan Bardella, who this month was confirmed as the successor to Marine Le Pen as head of France’s leading far-right party. It has been cited approvingly by Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary and darling of some American conservatives. Tucker Carlson of Fox News talks about it often. An alarming poll by The Associated Press-NORC this year found that about one in three American adults believes that “a group of people is trying to replace native-born Americans with immigrants for electoral gains.” Last year a poll found that 61 percent of French people believe that, too.

That the great replacement theory has gone mainstream is a victory for white supremacists and their cause....

...One of the best ways to counter a global ideology of violent extremism in a country that also wants to protect civil liberties is to create problems for extremists — to work to make them less popular and less capable, notes Daniel Byman in his new book, “Spreading Hate: The Global Rise of White Supremacist Terrorism (click here).”...

The Democrats need to move forward with it's agenda of protecting diversity and encouraging minorities to step up and run for office. That means there are plenty of social programs to prop them up and provide stepping stones to a better future, such as tuition forgiveness. Keep fighting. We have a lousy Supreme Court that may very well be illegal in their focus and decisions, but, emboldened  with self-righteousness of a lifetime appointment. Let's face it, Clarence Thomas just doesn't care about being silent anymore.

Good night. I am teaching tomorrow. There is a lot of what I want to write about and will.

Oh.

I don't bring a gun to my teaching. There is no way I would ever do that. No matter how much I may worry about the availability of guns, the wrongful thinking of some young men influenced by White Supremacist/Nationalist, there is something completely unnatural about nurturing learning and being guarded by a personal weapon out of site of the class in the room. THE GUN is more powerful than all of us and the outcomes of carrying one into such a room of acquaintances due to common learning goals is unconscionable. More guns is not the answer, regulation is.
