We are still battling false Monuments in all states..Harriet Tubman would be an enlightning figure if alive today in a voice to protect our Democracy! We need to speak up for voting rights and keeping history alive!
Describing the US as "as evil as the German Fascists" is an enormous understatement. The US is the evilest entity in world history by many magnitudes more than the short lived Third Reich. US Capitalists literally taught and materially assisted Nazism. 6 million murders is horrendous of course, but 90 million murdered Native Americans is many times worse. We call this math. Stop pretending that Hitler was the world's worst White Supremacist and then stop using the word White, unless you are a Racist who wants to perpetuate WS. Otherwise, stop using purely Racist terms like White. Only Racists believe in Races.
Disappointed that Hedges and guest went so heavily with the narrative of the racist symbolism of monuments, instead of the larger substantive issue of erasure of the Reconstruction era and the effective power of government remedial efforts and the power of the black community.
The monuments are allegiances concept is brilliant. I think reparations that work, that are possible, are a UBI (Universal Basic Income) and full civil rights for voting, gender equality, courts that represent democratic ideals instead of "white supremacy" and would be a realistic solution.
On Monday June 12, 2023 all day long at the National Press Club in Washington DC, Dr. Steven Greer and his Disclosure Project team are presenting yet even more government Whistle blowers who will prove the existence of the Secret Government its bases in the US and elsewhere. The 1300 MILE underground base below Dugway AFB in Utah, and the heinous crimes this unauthorized evil group has been engaged in for the last century. He also has a movie exposing them. "The Lost Century" which will air on You Tube around the same time. This group has had antigravity craft since October 1954. And since that time they have learned that DNA is the Currency of the Universe. And, as such, they have engaged in abductions of people, while posing as aliens, and using them as slaves in trade with certain ET groups in exchange for technology that they expect to use to control the world. This sick Mad Scientist mentality has been fueling their agenda for some time. They are the reason David Paulides has been researching the missing people from National Parks. in is Missing 411 series on You Tube. This evil group had assistance from certain malevolent ET's.
This Press Club event will prove to be a major historical event, exposing the most sick and deranged Secret Government program that is not controlled by Congress or the President. I hope you can set aside the time to learn the truth, which will be only the tip of the iceberg. Their tentacles run deep and wide. Efforts are being made now to reign them in. They also have engaged in experiments that would make Dr Mengele look like Mr Rogers.
Brilliant analysis. I was especially drawn to the final observations re Clarence Thomas - how such faces as his are put into positions of power because they serve the powerful anti-democratic/pro-oligarch positions - if I can put it like that. It's why Bush and Trump would both sit in the crowds behind them when delivering televised speeches as many of the few African America, Latino, etc attendees as they could - while in front - scarcely any of those ethnicities to be seen. Here in Australia the nation is heading to a referendum to introduce a change to the Constitution - to allow a national representative First Australians body to be set up in order to offer advice to the government of the day on ANY legislation with implications for First Australians (Indigenous) who make up some 3%+ of the population - though suffering all kinds of negative discrimination - despite the painfully won gains from an earlier 1967 Referendum (90% of Australians in favour) to count the members of that community! The basis for this referendum is the Uluru Statement from the Heart - in 2017. Dismissed summarily as a pathway to Voice, Treaty and Truth by then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and by his successor Scott Morrison - but campaigned on by the current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and immediately re-endorsed at his governments electoral win in late May last year. However - suddenly from the woodwork and much endorsed by their Conservative buddies - now in Opposition - two people of First Australians background - (a) Jacinta Price from the Northern Territory (her anti-Voice stance re the Referendum - in October this year) repudiated by the peak body representing First Australians communities stretching across her seat - the Central Lands Council - she does NOT speak for us - it has just stated - and (b) Warren Mundine - a political party flip-flopper of major proportions - 3rd marriage into a rightwing political commentator's family (of Gerard Henderson) and for a while at least - still no doubt - almost a bosom buddy of the former PM Tony Abbott (who had given himself the Ministry for Women - and he was a confirmed misogynist - and the Ministry for Indigenous Affairs - a portfolio about which he knew nothing more than that photo opportunities in remote communities might serve in fooling some of the nation - smooging and smiling - then betraying). Clarence Thomas - misogynist as we all remember - and an alleged rapist - as was that other Supreme Court Judge, too. Scandalous that they can be on the US nation's highest court bench!
Pol Pot was a fascist. Not interested in that. Maybe instead of making personal insults you could explain your causality for African American on African American violence. Still curious.
Does the word white as you use it refer to any distinction other than skin tone Races? Ipsi facto, your use of the word is racist. You are hardly alone. This use of White is systemic and, yeah, purely Racist in meaning.
The " iron law" is purely fallacious given the numerous long running egalitarian cultures in 280 thousand years of sapien history. Pure bullshit and a big lie, given the historical facts. Our Oligarchs are all Capitalists supported by government welfare. They would have gone bust on their own long ago. If your property is in North America you are a Capitalist settler on unceded lands. What gave you the right to participate in that theft today? What gives you the right to determine what you can and cannot own? Nature owns you. Maybe you should own some humans like your (assumed) Euro ancestors did. Like John Locke, the inventor of the hideous idea of private property and third largest investor in the African Slave Trade. Capitalism starts with using Racism as a rationale for owning other human beings. That's the system you are defending here. Your rights are the rights of private property which is the invention of Capitalists and other thieves and resource rapists loose in our commons. You don't own land. Land owns you, bozo. It keeps you alive, and won't miss you when nature decides to take you out. So, to clarify Kill Capitalist Fascist Oligarchs and anyone else identifying with the most brutal, failed ideology in history. And , Capitalist wealth accumulation has led to the widest wealth disparities in 280 thousand years. Your property is a comfortable lie you tell yourself. Your accumulated wealth comes from the enslavements and slaughters and resource rapes of the Capitalists. You are complicit with those murders when you stockpile wealth for yourself. Capitalism is clearly antithetical to any idea of a society of equal dignity for all. It is intrinsically anti- democratic, so, yeah, kill Capitalists and redistribute their stolen wealth and property. Do you get why, yet? Or do you want to continue in your delightful Capitalist barbarianism?😂
Just to add - I have researched Prof. Clarence LUSANE (admiration and respect in equal measure I feel for his scholarship and courage) - and bought this latest book as discussed here - and read up about some of his earlier excellent work - and sent a story published by the Sydney Morning Herald back in 2011 on his White House book to a kinship connection out of the Caribbean but living in Fort Myers FL - himself a Masters graduate from Howard U.

A very interesting, informative interview concerning the current racial situation in our country.

I didn't define any reality. I'm just opposed to your skin tone racist talk. Stop being white, it's racist.

US Capitalism has always been an integral part of White Supremacy. Kill Capitalists!
I don't approve of symbolic gestures. Stop the war. Save the Earth.
