Inauguration Day: There Will Be More Blood
“If you don’t understand white supremacy, then everything else will only confuse you.”
— Neely Fuller, Jr., author and mentor to the late Dr. Frances Cress Welsing
The most important and intriguing thing about white supremacy is not its cruelty nor its utter inhumanity. To be sure, white supremacy is that — cruel and inhumane. But its most salient aspect is its tenacity, its sheer ability to simply endure over the last five centuries. It has done so by deftly adapting to changing conditions and circumstances. Whenever whte supremacy/white racism is exposed as the consummate evil and scourge that it is; whenever it is outnumbered, or out-legislated, or even out-gunned, white supremacy/white racism will “go to ground” (underground) where it re-groups, re-organizes, and re-assesses its position, tactics and strategies. And then, when “circumstances” permit and/or the “right” leadership emerges, white supremacy/white racism comes roaring back in new form and often, literally, in new clothes as a “new and improved,” more palatable product. It then attempts to reclaim its rightful, superior, social, economic, political, and cultural station among the “races” — races which it created, invented, defined, and placed within its also self-constructed global, social, political, economic, and cultural pyramid.
