Rejecting Postracialism: Whiteness, Morality And Decency

August 9, 2016 Richard Raber, www.dailymaverick.co.za Educate! #BlackLivesMatter, Black Lives Matter (BLM), Post Racial America, Race, White Supremacy

By Richard Raber for Daily Maverick - Beginning with the contention that most white people view racism conceptually as bad, evil or at least something that is undesirable to be associated with, it is disheartening to see so much support for reactionary #AllLivesMatter, #BlueLivesMatter and similar postracial rhetoric from ostensibly decent people. White America must seek to understand our own existence and its relation to the lived realities of both others and ourselves.

Can The United States Transcend White Supremacy?

July 19, 2016 Robert Jensen, www.dissidentvoice.org Create! United States, White Supremacy

By Robert Jensen for Dissident Voices - Facing what seems like an endless stream of news about racialized conflicts and violence, many people call for us to get beyond our history and find solutions for today, concrete actions we can take immediately, ways of expressing love right now to help us cope with the pain. This yearning is understandable, but it’s just as important that we grapple with history, realize the inadequacy of any actions we might take today, and accept the limits of love in the face of political and economic realities.

Black Power Is Not The Same As White Supremacy

February 11, 2016 Sterling Wilmer, www.star.txstate.edu Educate! Black Power, White Supremacy

By Sterling Wilmer for The University Star - Some may view the black-and-proud movement as supremacist, but historically the only racial empowerment camp with a history of demeaning the existence of others includes those who fly white-pride banners. To put the black power movement and associated organizations, like the Black Panther Party, on the same level as the infamous ideals of white supremacy is insane. To reach a better understanding, people first need to know the difference in the two ideas’ origins.

Anonymous Releases Names Of KKK Members

November 6, 2015 Amanda Girard, www.usuncut.com Resist! Racism, White Supremacy

By Amanda Girard for US Uncut - Ever since members of the Ku Klux Klan threatened Ferguson protesters last year, hacktivist collective Anonymous has been promising to hack KKK websites and release the information they find to the public. As of a few minutes ago, that information has been officially released. “We need to make room for important, blunt, honest, public, productive conversation. Violent bigotry IS a problem in the United States. This is not a colorblind society,” Anonymous’ #OpKKK organizers wrote in an official statement. “Part of the reason we have taken the hoods off of these individuals is not because of their identities, but because of what their hoods symbolize to us in our broader society.”

Anonymous Vows To Unhood 1,000 Ku Klux Klan Members

October 29, 2015 Dominique Mosbergen, www.huffingtonpost.com Resist! Race, White Supremacy

By Dominique Mosbergen for The Huffington Post - As the first anniversary of the Ferguson protests approaches, a group identifying itself as the hactivist collective Anonymous has issued a threat to members of the Ku Klux Klan. In November of last year, Anonymous members launched Operation KKK, or #OpKKK, after a chapter of the KKK reportedly threatened to use "lethal force" against people protesting the killing of unarmed teenager Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. At the time, the hacker collective vowed to wage a "cyber war" against the hate group, saying: "You messed with our family and now we will mess with yours."

New Book: America Built On Slavery & Was Worse Than You Imagine

October 5, 2015 Steven Rosenfeld, www.alternet.org Educate! Slavery, White Supremacy

By Steven Rosenfeld for Alternet - This August, when Hillary Clinton met with Black Lives Matter protesters, they told her that ongoing violence and prejudice against blacks was part of a long historic continuum where, for example, today’s prison system descended from the old Southern plantations. Slavery, Clinton replied, was the “original sin... that America has not recovered from.” But how much do modern Americans really know about slavery in colonial America? In the genocide of Native Americans? In the War of Independence or the drafting of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights? Or afterward for decades until the Civil War? Chances are, not very much. Not that slaves, for example, were money in the antebellum South—currency and credit—which led to the enforced, systematic break-up of black families in generation after generation. There was no national currency, and little silver or gold, but there was paper tied to slaves bought on credit whose offspring were seen as a dividend that grew over time.

When Oppression Is The Status Quo, Disruption Is A Moral Duty

August 10, 2015 Bree Newsome, www.theroot.com Strategize! Police violence, Racism, White Supremacy

By Bree Newsome for the Root - I’m struck by the way society can commemorate the movement of the past while condemning the movement of the present. Or how it can continually celebrate social progress in the most abstract of ways while ignoring the realities of what is required for social progress to occur. Lyndon B. Johnson’s signing of the Voting Rights Act happened only because there were black Americans refusing to comply with oppression, creating disruption and posing direct challenges to the United States’ racial caste system. In 1963, Birmingham, Ala., was one of the most segregated cities in the United States of America. Black citizens faced brutal racial and economic oppression. If they protested, they faced violence from police and local authorities. To ask, “Was the Birmingham campaign of 1963 really necessary?” seems like a ridiculous question to most people today. Yet some of those very same people whose 20-20 hindsight never fails them seem blind to the present.

Unapologetic Black Anger Can Change The World For The Better

July 21, 2015 Chauncey de Vega, www.alternet.org Strategize! #BlackLivesMatter, Black Lives Matter (BLM), Law, Mass Incarceration, police brutality, Racial Justice, White Supremacy

By Chauncey de Vega in Alternet - At the Socialism 2015 conference, Martinez Sutton, the brother of Rekia Boyd, a 22-year-old black woman killed by an offduty white Chicago cop who recklessly fired five shots into a crowd of people because he was supposedly upset that they were playing loud music, shared his story of anger and pain at a legal system that twisted justice in order to protect one of its enforcers of death and destruction on the black and brown body, as well as the poor of all colors. Sutton told the audience that he and his family will not forgive the cop who killed his sister. He called out how this expectation that black and brown folks should always forgive those who malign and hurt us is an absurdity.

Privilege And Social Identity: Getting Real

July 19, 2015 Eva Orbuch, www.kosmosjournal.org Organize! LGBTQ, Racism, White Supremacy, Women's Rights

By Eva Orbuch in Kosmos Journal. Oakland, CA - Last Fall, I participated in one of the most meaningful educational experiences of my life—a training facilitated by Generation Waking Up. A very diverse group of 25 young adults spent three whole days together examining the major issues of our time and learning enlightening frameworks from which to re-view things like social justice, oppression, and the environment. What made the training go beyond solid curriculum and into actual shifts in our mindsets and hearts was our commitment to working deeply and intimately with ourselves and with each other. By the middle of the second day, we had shared a lot of our personal stories and often some of the pain that was behind who we are and why we act today.

Democracy Only For Rich White Guys: Explaining America’s Inequalities

July 14, 2015 Sean McElwee, www.salon.com Educate! Capitalism, Democracy, Patriarchy, White Supremacy

By Sean McElwee in Salon - More than a century ago, German scholar Werner Sombart published a book entitled ”Warum gibt es in den Vereinigten Staaten keinen Sozialismus?” or, “Why Is There No Socialism in the United States?” Today, many scholars and political thinkers ask the same question, and the answers vary broadly. While many of the answers – racism, the malapportionment of the Senate, federalism, a pro-business Supreme Court, low levels of civic participation – all have some truth and explanatory power, it remains difficult nonetheless to square democracy and inequality. Democracy was supposed to be “the road to socialism,” after all. Now a new study by Nicholas Stephanopoulos sheds light on why “democracy” hasn’t reduced inequality: Because it doesn’t exist.

Week Of Righteous Resistance

July 13, 2015 Lena K. Gardner, www.standingonthesideoflove.org Resist! Black Lives Matter (BLM), police brutality, Religion, White Supremacy

By Lena K. Gardner in StandingOnTheSideOfLove.org. Minneapolis, MN - Last November, I lay down with just under a hundred other people on an interstate highway in Minneapolis. Along with thousands in cities across the country, we stopped the cars, we carried signs and we chanted and sang, saying Black Lives Matter in every way that we could. My brother called me from Texas, and said, “Hey, did you shut down I-35 today?” I responded, “Well, yes, me and a few others.” He said, “It made news down here. That’s dope. My freedom fighter sister.” That was just over six months ago, it was the start of what has been a nonstop whirlwind of actions, public witness, and personal challenge for me. It has been hard and I haven’t been alone. I have been fighting for freedom, for the freedom to be human in my Blackness, and the liberation of the most marginalized amongst us.

Anonymous Revealing Ku Klux Klan’s Identities – Operation #OpKKK

July 9, 2015 Anon HQ, www.mintpressnews.com Resist! Hacking, KKK, Racism, White Supremacy

By Anon HQ in MintPress News - Anonymous has revealed a list of KKK members in light of the Ferguson protests as part of #OpKKK and a cyberwar against the organization. The ‘de-hooding’ of Ku Klux Klan members has spurred threats and attacks against Anonymous over social media, with @KuKluxKlanUSA stating “You messed with us, now it’s our turn to mess with you.” The threat comes in response to the campaign Anonymous began online, to name KKK members in the Ferguson and St. Louis area after it was discovered that the KKK members have been distributing fliers. The fliers warn Ferguson protesters of the consequences of a continuation of their fight, stating they have “awakened a sleeping giant,” and that they [KKK] will use “lethal force” against protestors if they continue. The fliers handed out justify the lethal force as a form of “self-defense.”

Silence Around Who Is Burning Black Churches Speaks Volumes

July 6, 2015 Kirsten West Savali, www.theroot.com Educate! Black Churches, Media, Racism, White Supremacy

By Kirsten West Savali in The Root - Black churches in North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and Tennessee have burned in the weeks following the terrorist attack on Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C. that killed 9 people. In response, agents of the state and mainstream media have attempted to gaslight black America into believing that the smoke choking our collective souls is imagined. Lightning, that was it. Maybe some delinquent kid or faulty electrical wiring. According to theDepartment of Justice, "Preliminary investigations indicate that two of the fires were started by natural causes and one was the result of an electrical fire...If in fact there is evidence to support hate crime charges in any one of these cases, the FBI, in coordination with the ATF and local authorities, will work closely with the Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices to bring those forward.”

‘Fists Up, Fight Back’ Solidarity With Charleston

June 25, 2015 Maressa Simmons, www.popularresistance.org Resist! Racism, Violence, White Supremacy

By Maressa Simmons of Black Liberation Committee. Tallahassee, FL - After the June 17 white supremacist attack at Emanuel AME Church, in Charleston, South Carolina that left nine African American parishioners dead, the Black Liberation Action Coordinating Committee (BLACC), Students for a Democratic Society and the Trans Liberation Front held a rally, June 19 in front of the Old Tallahassee Capitol. 30 community members attended the rally and vigil, which started with nine minutes of silence, one minute for each victim. During the moments of silence, the Tallahassee Police Department interrupted the vigil, stating the candles were a fire hazard and those in attendance needed to move off the Old Capitol steps and into the grass. The emcee, Regina Joseph, stated it would only last nine more seconds, and, “The police care more about property rights than Black rights.”

US Terrorism: White Supremacy’s Long History Of Violence

June 20, 2015 Lawrence Brown, www.salon.com Educate! History, Racial Justice, Terrorism, White Supremacy

By Lawrence Brown in Salon - The evidence is clear. The reports are in. There is no other conclusion. It’s 2015, and Black people in America are under a sustained and lethal terrorist attack. In North Charleston, S.C., not too far from the place where the A.M.E. terrorist attack on 9 Black church members took place, Walter Scott was shot several times in the back as he fled from police on foot, posing no immediate threat. In Staten Island, N.Y., Eric Garner was choked to death by officers as he gasped for air, exclaiming: “I can’t breathe.” In Baltimore, MD, a frightened Freddie Gray fled from Brian Rice and two other white officers on foot. By the time he was placed in the police wagon, his leg had been broken.
