Message To America: Why We Need to Finally Win the War Against White Supremacy
Bok av Shodai Sennin J. a. Overton-Guerra
America is at war within itself, and has been since the first colonists arrived and methodically engaged in the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans and in the importation of African slaves to create a White European Christian Nation. It is a multidimensional conflict that should have been resolved at the conclusion of the Civil War - but was not. As a result, the ideology of hatred, terror, discrimination, and genocide that the South represented continued to disseminate its evil venom insinuating itself in all levels and facets of American culture and society. Militarily speaking, the open hostilities involved in the Civil War ended on May 9, 1865. Ideologically, however, the Civil War persists to this day via social, political, and economic means. That is what the enduring tolerance of White supremacy reflects.
After the American Civil War, rather than ensure the South's political and ideological subjugation - as America did in Japan, for example - Northern British-America manifested a great empathy towards the fallen South. This empathy was no doubt due to their racial, ideological, and cultural affinities. After all, most Whites from the North could not have cared less as to the conditions of Black slaves in the South. It is this empathy for the South - or lack of empathy for former Black slaves - that prevented the North from taking a much stronger stance against the former military and political leadership of the Confederacy. As a point of comparison, no such quarter was granted, for example, to Native American nations defeated in battle. In Europe, at the close of the Second World War, German leaders responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity faced trial at Nuremberg between 1945 and 1946. Twenty-two Nazi leaders were tried, twelve were sentenced to death.
Nevertheless, rather than being tried for high treason and sedition, and expeditiously treated as the criminals they were, we are now - over a century and a half later - faced with the prickly task of mopping up the mess that the North's lack of ideological clarity and dubious moral resolve has left us.
