Hello!
The Ledger is back and thanks for returning. I’m saving the laughs for my videos. I want to talk about something serious.
Many Americans went through hell last weekend as dozens were murdered by white supremacists targeting people of color. There is nothing that I can say that makes this better.
White supremacy needs to be uprooted from society and not just here at home. Our wars abroad are justified with the logic of white supremacy. The logic of colonialism was white supremacy. The ad campaigns that trick us into purchasing plastic shit that ends up in landfills thrives on white supremacy. Our police were literally born in the slave patrols following federal laws to return enslaved people to the white men who considered them their property.
The logic of white supremacy doesn’t only create suffering for the majority of people on this planet who aren’t white, it also draws our attention away from other issues causing the majority of people who aren’t well-off to suffer every day. While Americans blame foreigners and people of color for the slow-motion collapse of our national hegemony, the mega-wealthy are consolidating their power and wealth.
White Americans who support racism deserve condemnation, that includes those who aren’t actively murdering people because of their bigotry. But the rest of us also need to double our efforts to fight back against this scourge that terrorizes immigrant communities, black communities, native communities, & Latino communities.
We need to end racist violence from civilian gunmen, from police officers, from capitalists AND from our soldiers abroad. We need to do it now.

How a Small Group of Pro-Israel Activists Blacklisted MintPress on Wikipedia
MintPress News | Whitney Webb
