When I was in my 20s I was sharing rent with another guy close to my age. He was a guard in a prison. He came home one day with a Confederate flag tattooed on his back.
That was once common among Southern Democrats.
Now not so much.
The problem with questions like 'Have you ever met a White Supremacist?' is that you have to define your terms. For some if you are white and say the N-Bomb that makes you a bigot, therefore a racist, and therefore a White Supremacist.
I grew up during desegregation in the South, and I remember a lot of it. I talked to my father and grandfather about the topic and got different answers for the longest time, so I will summarize.
There are four kinds of 'racist' as the term is generally used today.
1) A
'bigot' who has racial attitudes about various ethnic groups, and none of them measure up to his ethnic group. A large measure of their personal pride is in identifying with their own ethnicity. They don't want discrimination in the courts against these other ethnicities, its just they are second tier to his ethnicity.
2)
Racial Segregationists wants to allow voluntary associations in business, social clubs, etc to be based on race or ethnicity. They do not want the government necessarily to discriminate by law, but they don't want to have to live with disgusting people of certain races or ethnicities.
3)
Racial Protectionist are racists that want the law to give advantages to his ethnicity and a few others but it should be understated or disguised as some other kind of target. He thinks it is only natural for the Peoples preferences to be encoded as law, and if the people through a democratic process elect Congresspeople that pass laws that discriminate against some ethnic groups, so be it, power to the people. They see no obligation at all for the law to be racially neutral. Most of the people involved in Identity Politics are these kinds of racists, but they want to benefit nonwhites over whites.
4)
Racial Supremacists embrace inequality under the law, but also want it to be done systematically to favor one ethnic or racial group that they consider so superior to all the others it is only humane to let that group/race rule over all the others for their own good. They don't think these people are not human, but are like weeds in ones garden; not supposed to be there.
I have only met a few overt White Supremacists and they were from Rhodesia and South Africa back in the late 70's. The white segregationists I grew up among largely gave up the idea of Jim Crow ever being the law again and instead only want to be allowed to live in all white communities, though some I have met more recently still talk about a national system of Jim Crow laws that has exceptions for some minorities, like black cops and veterans. And there are lots of bigots, but none will admit to it until they think they can trust you. I do not betray friends over the use of stupid language but I ask them top tone it down around me. As I don't like hearing it.
The lying leftists redefine the language and the MSM runs with it. There are more MSM people in the Democrat party that you can count. The MSM and the Democrat Party are really one in the same. The MSM inherited a huge demographic which they have been fooling into thinking that they (MSM) are 'objective.' It's a lie and keeps people ignorant of other points of view.
You can really tell because most of the leftists on this Forum regurgitate the same Democrat talking points, hate Trump, hate Fox News, Hate Rush, hate Hannity and on and on and on.
They are told what to think, what to listen to and what to watch and like obedient sheep they bleat in unison.
That is an extremely funny post. Then again, the current generation does not have the insight from those who lived the past. Let me enlighten you:
The right has tried to redefine words just as much as the left has. For example: there is that term
"illegals" when referring to people without human registration papers. Where, in the Constitution, does that document give Congress the
authority to tell states who they may and may not invite as guests, guest workers, and temporary workers? Such authority simply doesn't exist. The federal government was tasked with only ONE function relative to foreigners:
"
Congress shall have the power... To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization" (Article 1 Section 9)
That's it. Congress has NO authority to impose on states; NO authority to impede
unalienable Rights of other people; NO authority to infringe upon the Liberties of any man. You and I ... and society control who comes and goes within our borders, NOT the government (unless another country is waging war against us.) Constitutionally, we were designed to have free will with a free market economy. Some people have brainwashed you into thinking the government can save you from yourself. Therefore, the government would be your benefactor and you are beholden to government for your
"rights." THAT alone is screwed up on so many levels.
I'm not on the left and I despise Donald Trump. Trump's ban on bump stocks violated the Constitution on three different counts. He wants to ban silencers. He's on record wanting to ban so - called "
assault weapons" (he uses the language of the left to refer to semi-automatic weapons.) The man has said: "
Take their guns. Due Process later." He's supported Red Flag Laws (again not giving a sh!+ about Due Process) and wants a universal background check. Well, the only way universal background checks can be enforced is if weapons are registered and registration always, always, always precedes confiscation.
Hannity and Rush are paid stooges of Fox News. Fox News is owned largely by Rupert Murdoch and the next major stockholder is a Saudi Prince. Now, let's think about this for a moment:
Rupert Murdoch was (and may still be) on the Board of Directors for the
Council on Foreign Relations (the world's largest globalist think tank.) When I was a conservative (sic) the CFR and Murdoch were the arch nemesis of the Constitution. Today they are the good guys. The globalists are controlling all the news, controlling the fight you think you're in and they control both sides of the argument. You fight people that you are actually in agreement with (and don't know it) and the globalists fund both sides of the war, all the news and they allow you to deplete your resources in a manner where you cannot defend yourself. And your buddy Trump is a lap dog for them:
Rupert Murdoch and President Trump: A Friendship of Convenience
Murdoch said 'I can't get the a**hole off the phone' about Trump, book claims
Do you honest to God think that Murdoch is going to allow his place of business (Fox News) to be used to
effectively to get rid of Hispanics in this country? No sir. He's conning you into forfeiting your Rights and most of the crap that separates families will be over-turned in the courts. They have played you. Once Trump takes the guns, there won't be sh!+ you can do about it.
