Americans are a new and mixed people, not a White People

I have been hearing a lot (or what feels like a lot) of the white supremacist rhetoric from interviews with Vice, Eddie Huang, and Univision.


The argument that White Supremacists have, both the super angry ones and the seemingly more reasonable ones, is that White created the nation and did not do this to hand it over to "others."

Of course the local population would have something to say about that.

But that point can be debated. In the end a colony was started that was under European control.

However, learning more about Cape Verdean history one realized that it was a mixed people, a multi ethnic people that actually helped to found the "New World" and the founders were mixed and multi ethnic before even arriving on the shores of the Americas.

From first contact there on these shores there was of course brutality and pillaging, but there was also mixing.

In fact seeing the "threat: of the mixing of the races is backwards. The lower classes were getting along fine which frightened those in power and there was an active and intended SEPARATION of the races in order to divide and keep people under control.

Look at how organized and angry the white supremacists are. Now in the 60's a lot of these Appalachian patriotic groups were working WITH the black panthers. In a democracy, all you really have to do to take the country over when you are organized like that is vote.


But if you can froth up division and anger and keep communication down so that both sides can never talk to each other or find common ground ever, then you prevent the two sides from possibly even becoming ONE group within a couple of generations.

"Normal" racism can't even be touched now or "liberal" racism because now everything is seen through the lens of neo-nazis.

"White Fragility" is not even going to be talked about and not so racists whites who might take pride in statues are not going to go be racist activists... but they are less likely to help Black lives matter now too.

At the end of a CNN conversation I remember one of the white commentators chiming in, "and its time for white people to help too."

So that you will have scenes like you see on the Vice program where you see two crowds of angry white people chanting at each other "White Lives matter!" and then 'Black Lives Matter!"

Everything that Malcom X ever talked about and complained about when it comes to Civil Rights and the status quo is all coming to light. He was relevant then and relevant now which is why the media shut him down and why people are really so afraid of him and his teachings. His teaching after is Haij were even scarier to people and that got him killed.

Malcom X was able to inspire white people to support him who nowadays would be considered racists. People that would honk at him when stopped at a traffic light and say, "If I was one of you guys I would be fighting too. Keep fighting!" and shout encouragement. That type of off the cuff working class white male today would be shot down in the media as a racist and either lumped in with a Neo Nazi or forced to simply quietly hold his tongue and not support any coming together of the races.

And probably because of that he will stay within his community date within his race and not mix and not associate with people outside of his race when it isn't absolutely necessary and everyone stays divided, docile, if organized against each other only, and know type of progress will come about.


Anyone politically savvy and getting in front of denouncing Nazis and heated rhetoric in areas of the country where most of the population supports this will STAY in power and we will be distracted from what is actually happening to certain neighborhoods. We will be distracted from the history being taught in the schools. We will be distracted from police culture that encourages racism and division. We will be distracted from making our lives better as a ONE group of mixed people. A New and American people. Which is what we, in truth, were at the founding of this country.
