  • Patriotism vs White Nationalism

    [Read the article: Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    When Rev. Wright excoriated this nation for its treatment of black people and the world in general he was not speaking as an American. He was speaking as a black man in America. Blacks are still full citizens only on paper and our opinions still do not matter to any white people in positions of power. We are to do as commanded, a la Rice and Powell, and just wait to be addressed.

    This country was founded on white supremacy and genocide as we all should know by now. Whites hate being reminded of it though because they still receive unearned privilege from the crimes of their ancestors. They tell themselves that they rescued slaves from Africa instead of dehumanizing them. White Americans are ALL full of shit, minus perhaps Tim Wise, Molly Secours and Noam Chomsky, to a greater or lesser degree.

    Rev. Wright was facing the metaphorical KKK of this country when he spoke against the evil these men do and have done. White Christianity is the same thing. It's a religion of rhetorical ethic bound up in white nationalism, nativism, exceptionalism, xenophobia and false patriotism. White people have this psychological need to stratify society and they naturally always put themselves at the top, although eugenics has been thoroughly debunked as trash non-science.

    What I keep telling people is that whites will never admit they are wrong collectively. They are told from birth and throughout life that they mean everything to this world and that nothing could exist without them. That is why it is so infuriating to hear a black men tell them the unpleasant truth, because we are the least worthy to criticize in their blue and green eyes. The media daily and minute by minute reinforces their ridiculous racial bravado. When the people that are in charge refuse to believe they can ever be wrong there is nothing the people not in charge can do except wait on the pompous asses to undo themselves from their insecurity branded as confidence and surety. This is exactly where this ill-gotten country is headed and although I am not looking forward to the further suffering it will bring blacks in America at least it will bring much needed relief to the world of six billion nonwhites.

  • White supremacy perpetuates white supremacy

    The whole Rev. Wright controversy is ridiculous. He told the truth and refused to sugar coat it. Whites hate the truth because this nation was founded on white supremacy and still exists based on it. That's why we're in the trouble we're in now. Whites hate blacks more than any other racial group of nonwhites. So it stands to reason that whites do not want to hear the truth from the descendants of former slaves. We have the high moral ground and whites are tired of being blamed for the sins of their ancestors but they don't mind still perpetuating the imbalance and inequity against blacks conferred on them through inheritance and nepotism over the centuries. It is hypocrisy and it is evil but whites do not care because whites believe they are God. That is why any mention of religion and whites is contradictory. White Christianity is all about sustaining white nationalism and global white supremacy because it tells white people that they cannot be wrong because they are the smartest people on the planet. White America collectively is seriously deluded and it will only worsen as races continue to mix and white birth rates continue to plummet worldwide. Only one in ten people on this planet are white. It is a crime against nature for whites to be in charge of everything and until whites stop being the spoiled violent brats that they are nothing will change. Frankly I am not hopeful. I believe mankind's best chance for survival will be either the isolation, marginalization or elimination of whites in power. Nothing else can save us.
