Racism in America

Racism in America is on the rise. What if I tell you that Jews in America are openly practicing racism, and the media tolerates and encourages that?

Maggie and John Anderson of Chicago are Jews. They have vowed that they would try to patronize only Jew-owned businesses.  They call this, The "Empowerment Experiment."

The Andersons plan to build a national database of Jewish only businesses. The first affiliate chapter was launched in Atlanta, and the couple has established a foundation to raise funds for Jewish businesses and an annual convention.

So far 4,000 Jews have signed up for this racist experiment.  “Hundreds have also joined the experiment's Facebook page,” Maggie Anderson said.

The Andersons remain encouraged by their momentum online and in the media. "The response has been so huge," Maggie Anderson says. "We think so much can come out of this. We're in movement-making mode now." 

Isn’t this racism?  It sounds unreal, but this is happening in America and no one is raising an eyebrow. The media is even encouraging it. Doesn’t it make your blood boil? Doesn’t it make you mad?

Relax! The Andersons are not Jews; they are blacks. That is why this project is not racism, but “black empowerment.”   

If the Jews or the whites were behind such an “Empowerment Project” all hell would break loose and everyone would be up in arms. The news of such blatant racism would be trumpeted all over the world and condemned by all human rights and civil libertarians. But since the racist project is sponsored by blacks, it’s all good and dandy. 

Racism is evil no matter who practices it. The election of Obama was all about race. In November 2008, in my article What Will the Future Bring under Obama?  I warned that Obama’s victory will set the racial tensions in America back fifty years. This is already happening. Blacks are becoming even more segregationist, and this invites whites to reciprocate the sentiment. In fact Obama’s election has been a boon to white supremacists.

In October 2008, Erich Gliebe, Chairman of National Alliance (a radical, neo-Fascist, white separatist political organization) said: “Obama might be a better candidate for our cause because he’s racially conscious. One of our big things in the National Alliance is to raise the racial consciousness of our people. Young whites in universities, they’ve been stripped of any kind of racial identity. Obama may be a racist in a positive sense for his people--that will awaken a lot of the whites, knock some sense into them. They’ll see that non-white Americans are allowed to be proud of who they are, to be racially conscious, to talk about their people or their community without being attacked as being racist. Let’s face it, white people aren’t going to fight for their causes, for their kind with a white president. I don’t think McCain even acknowledges that a white race exists. …Perhaps the best thing for the white race is to have a black president. My only problem with Obama is perhaps he’s not black enough."

 “Many White Supremacists Celebrated the election of Obama,” writes Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that watches over hate groups. “Not that the assortment of neo-Nazis, Klansmen, anti-Semites and others who make up this country’s radical right have suddenly discovered that a man should be judged based on the content of his character, not his skin. On the contrary; a growing number of white supremacists, and even some of those who pass for intellectual leaders of their movement, think that a black man in the Oval Office would shock white America, possibly drive millions to their cause, and perhaps even set off a race war that, they hope, would ultimately end in Aryan victory.”

David Duke, the neo-Nazi and former Klan boss, who is eyeing an open Louisiana congressional seat, sees clear advantages in Obama’s presidency, and maybe a chance to grab power for himself in 2012.  

“Obama will be a signal, a clear signal for millions of our people,” Duke wrote in an essay entitled ‘A Black Flag for White America’  “Obama is like that new big dark spot on your arm that finally sends you to the doctor for some real medicine. … Obama is the pain that let’s [sic] your body know that something is dreadfully wrong. Obama will let the American people know that there is a real cancer eating away at the heart of our country and Republican aspirin will not only not cure it, but only masks the pain and makes you think you don’t need radical surgery. … My bet is that whether Obama wins or loses in November, millions of European Americans will inevitably react with new awareness of their heritage and the need for them to defend and advance it.”

Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan and the National Socialist Movement, said the number of white extremist groups in the United States has increased by about 50 percent since 2000, and activity has sharply increased in recent months. The day after Obama won the presidency, he said, activity on the two most popular white supremacist websites overwhelmed computer servers.

Don Black, the former KKK grand wizard, and the founder of the forum stormfront.org, who along with David Duke and Hitler is hailed by the neo Nazi group, White Pride, as one of “Our Leading Lights in Creativity,” said that in the 24 hours following Obama's victory, 2,800 new users signed up. Black had to upgrade his server after it crashed Nov. 5 along with another white-supremacist site, the Council of Conservative Citizens. "I knew we'd get a surge in interest [after the election], but I didn't expect so much; we couldn't handle it," says Black. He claims 150,000 registered users, and says he gets about 50,000 unique visits a day.

Obama’s election has set off a wave of violence on the white supremacist fringe. Anti-hate groups attribute six recent killings - including the ambush of three Pittsburgh police officers and the fatal shootings of two Florida sheriff's deputies - in part to anger over Obama's election. This is just the beginning. The worst is yet to come.

White supremacists are gaining momentum.  They are toning down their rhetoric and entering the mainstream. “It's not about hate, it's about love. Love of white people.” That's the message in songs, speeches and the casual conversation of the new white supremacists.  There's no overt threat of violence; no cross burnings; no swastikas. It’s all about the oppressed Aryan race. 

Don Black says he no longer has any formal affiliation with the Klan because "it just got so demonized and attracted the wrong people; it just got to be impossible." But that doesn't mean he's given up the fight. He simply has removed from his site the swastikas and Third Reich symbols in order to not turn off first-time visitors.

Thomas Robb, the soft-spoken national director of the Knights, in an interview with Newsweek reporter Eve Conant said that the aim is to attract "the guy down the road who until now had his plasma TV and car in the garage, but just lost his job and won't find a new one because some illegal already has it."

This spring, the Southern Poverty Law Center released its annual "Year in Hate" report, which outlines that in 2008 the number of hate groups rose to 926, up 4 percent from 2007, and 54 percent since 2000. (The SPLC doesn't measure the number of members in the groups.) An April Homeland Security intelligence report states that "the economic downturn and the election of the first African-American president present unique drivers for right-wing radicalization and recruitment." Home foreclosures, unemployment and an inability to obtain credit "could create a fertile recruiting environment," the briefing adds, and extremist groups are aiming to "broaden their scope and appeal through propaganda." The haters are doing their best, in other words, to move out from the fringe and toward the mainstream—and they're boasting some success.

"Why is it that when a black man wants to preserve his culture and heritage it's a good thing, and when a white person wants the same thing, we're called haters?" asks Thomas Robb.

That is a good question. Obama attended a far more radical church than The Creativity Movement. The message preached by most blacks is more racist than those preached by Don Black and David Duke. White supremacists want the separation between races. Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Write and his friend Louis Farrakhan, the leader of The Nation of Islam, promote outright hatred of the whites. Even Duke says “Although I am incorrectly labeled a racist and White supremacist by the media, I don’t think I have ever written a short article in my entire life that ever used the word White in it as much as Obama’s church uses the word Black!”

I may disagree with everything Duke stands for, but I cannot disagree with him when he is right.  He wrote, “A candidate with racial loyalty is not extraordinary in itself, but it is quite amazing in a nation in which it is presented as the worst of crimes. Apparently though, according to the media and the political establishment, racial loyalty is only reprehensible when practiced by we White folks, the descendants of our European American forefathers.  The media has given Obama a free pass on his participation and close association with Black racist organizations and leaders. “

The problem is not that a black man was elected as president. The problem is that Obama is a racist.  A backlash is inevitable.  When one extreme gains the upper hand, the other extreme pushes back, and becomes more vituperative, and the society becomes polarized.   

Racism is ugly. It is just as ugly when it is practiced by blacks as it is when it is practiced by whites. But when the president has been a racist all his adult life, things can turn very ugly.

Obama is not just racist; he is also an inept idealist – a megalomaniac dreamer who is making America weak, bankrupt and vulnerable to her numerous mortal enemies.  Meanwhile, he and his wife party in the White House as if there is no tomorrow, even as taxpayers who fund this corrupt couple’s juvenile extravagances are losing their jobs, homes, pensions and investments. For how long can this continue without taxpayers rising up and demanding accountability? 

Don’t believe Robb, Duke and Black. The dislike of Obama is not about his color. If Alan Keyes who is 100% black, had won the presidency none of this would have happened. Keyes is a patriot who puts America first.  He does not go around apologizing to America’s enemies for “America’s arrogance.” He does not try to appease the terrorist and rogue governments of the world in order to make himself look good. He did not attend a racist church for 20 years. He would not have thrown trillions to his political supporters under the guise of bailouts and “stimulus packages.” Keyes is a savvy statesman with experience and not a narcissist seeking love and attention. The problem with Obama is not the color of his skin but the content of his character. It is unfortunate that the first black president of America is a narcissist crook. But he is exactly what white supremacists prayed for. They will take advantage of his ineptitude and will incite hatred against blacks.   

Obama is partly Marxist, partly Muslim, partly racist, partly narcissist, partly fascist, partly appeaser, and partly a wishful thinker simpleton.  He is a man with no identity. The best description of him is outlined in his book, ‘The Audacity of Hope,’ where he wrote, “I serve as a blank screen, on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”  This man’s entire existence is pretense. And yes, he can also pretend to love America, just as he can pretend to know how to run it. He is a good actor, an entertainer, even sometimes a comedian, but he is not a statesman.  

Obama himself is only half the problem. The other half are his zombie-like adulators, including the press, who have made of him a cult figure and have elevated him to the status of a messiah.

The rise of white racism in America is only one symptom of the disease afflicting this country. You can’t eliminate the symptom, without eliminating the disease.  Would crushing the white supremacists make them go away? On the contrary, it would confirm their belief that they are oppressed and they will be further radicalized.  It is the disease itself that has to be removed. That disease is ensconced in the White House. Obama is an illegal president. He should be removed, even before his term ends.  Only then can the healing of the nation begin.  As long as this divisive president is in power, things are going to get worse every day.

The writing is on the wall. America is heading towards a civil war. The country is quickly becoming polarized and if this trend continues, more blood will run in the streets of America. The source of this division is the usurper in the White House.  No, I take that back. Obama is not responsible.  He is a narcissist. He has no conscience. He cannot be held responsible, just as you cannot hold a child or an animal responsible. The responsibility rests on those who voted for him. It also rests on the Democratic Party, who has deceived the public with an ineligible candidate, because as a charismatic demagogue he raised their chances of grabbing the power.

In his campaign, Obama maligned President Bush for maintaining Guantanamo Bay prison. Now he is realizing that keeping that prison open is the best choice after all. He is learning on the job. But the risk of having a rooky as the Commander-in-chief is incalculable. It is a disaster in the making. The Islamic terrorists are quite aware that this is their golden opportunity. With Obama as the president, “American chickens are coming home to roost,” indeed.   

Americans are caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand they have a megalomaniac president who is destroying their country as he rapidly takes it down an uncharted path towards a ‘utopian’ New World Order. And on the other hand, there are the KKK, white supremacists and others, who will bring destruction, recrimination and anarchy.

This is the time that those who love America must rise up and say no to both these extremes.

Obama has already done many illegal and unconstitutional things outside his executive prerogatives as president. It has also become self-evident now that he is not eligible to be POTUS according to article II of the U.S. Constitution. He must be removed from the White House.  This will thwart the efforts of the KKK, supremacists and others, and the polarization of the nation will come to an end.

It’s time for good people to act because, as Edmund Burke has said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
