To those of you condemning what’s happening in Charlottesville from the safety of other states, don’t forget that a lot of us actually live there or somewhere else in Virginia.
I know some of y’all don’t find it hard to believe, but those Nazis and klansmen legit live in Virginia. This is not a multi-state conglomeration that represents the last dying embers of white supremacy in the United States. They’ve always been here. When I say that I grew up in Klan country. I mean it quite literally. Them motherfuckers ain’t went nowhere. They didn’t die off. They didn’t move. They didn’t “grow out of it.” The only thing now is that they’re slicker about it.
I bet you that after they go home, not a single one will lose their jobs or be turned down for a job even though their actual faces as plastered all over the internet. Because we have to live with these people. They’re the neighbors. They’re the cops. They’re the invisible hands of businesses and institutions all over this state.
Make no mistake. This is not sudden. This is not an anomaly. This is not just because of Trump. These people have always been here, but y’all didn’t listen when the people who lived here all our lives, the ones outside the pretty, tourist attraction side of town, told you.
also, what has to be added is that for so many of these people, they will go home and have cordial relationships with black people, jewish people, gay people, immigrants, refugees, they may be their coworkers or even caretakers. white supremacists do not live in isolation, and to condemn a vague notion of the South as a nebulous other forgets that there are people who are targeted right where they live by these forces. white supremacists specifically exist through an arbitration of their beliefs, through a cultivated process where they gauge the acceptability of their beliefs at any given moment, allow it to form and structure their desires before being let out in moments such as this, expressions of fascist desire.
they are not living in these isolated, unreachable communities; rather, the ones they live in are so thoroughly inundated with white supremacy that those living within know exactly what lies underneath the politically correct veil of politics as a means of creating a measure between this structural white supremacy and everyday actions. it allows black families in these communities to be denied housing, for gaybashings to be unremarkable and a natural consequence of a Lifestyle of some sort, it creates violence but moreover there are people within these communities who experience this violence. overwhelmingly, white supremacy is enacted locally, is enacted and realized through these moments, not through gatherings of fascism but through the establishment and realization of a fascist structure that is allowed as part of maintaining neoliberal order.
to confine this to the south, to pretend that this is merely “their problem” as so many tend to do with white supremacy is to miss exactly what makes this so horrifying. this white supremacy will lead directly to more violence, more acts of a violent character, and these acts will be targeting the exact people that liberals talk about as only existing outside of these places. white supremacists will go back to cities and towns that not only accept their white supremacy, but specifically prevent the victims of it from meaningfully combating it. these white supremacists could not exist without those they act against, and they will go back and continue to exert this violence.
Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke suggested on Saturday that President Donald Trump is inspiring the white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Asked by a reporter what the alt-right rally means to him, Duke said that it represents a “turning point for the people in this country.”
“We are determined to take our country back,” Duke said. “We’re gonna fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.” Read more. (8/12/17, 12:43 PM)
Officials have declared a state of emergency in Charlottesville, Virginia, where white nationalists demonstrating against the removal of a Confederate statute clash with counter-protesters.
The confrontations between white nationalists and counter-protesters at the Unite the Right rally began overnight, when a counter-protest group was encircled by torch-wielding white nationalists. Read more (8/12/17 1:20 PM)
Several hours after a planned white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, descended into chaos and violence, President Donald Trump finally weighed in on Twitter, urging the nation to “come together as one.”
David Duke and other alt-right activists have stated Trump’s election in November has been the inspiration behind rallies like Saturday’s. This is a developing story (8/12/17 2 PM)
I’ve heard from friends in Charlottesville that some of the Nazis are reporting these photos to FB, trying to get them taken down, because they’re afraid of losing their jobs or not getting into law school.
So, obviously, screenshot and spread the fuck out of every pic you can find.
man idk i can make a real easy political statement right now though: if youre any kinda fascist/nazi/white nationalist/sympathizer etc you can get the fast fuck off my blog right now and never return. youre lucky this isnt a country like germany where people respond to your limpdick purity posturing sewage belief systems by kicking the shit out of you
i hope all black and/or jewish people in virginia are safe today and i hope every single one of those white supremacist fucks terrorizing them today is fucking murdered insha'allah
This shit literally happened on the campus (AKA, “Grounds”) that I walk on every day.
Every. Fucking. Day.
The Grounds at U.Va. were built off the backs – and the remains – of slaves. My first-year dorm (It is called “Dillard.”) was built off of the graves of slaves. Literally.
(I actually stared down a white girl who was sitting on one of the graves one morning…)
And for you evil-ass white supremacist bitches (I REFUSE to rebrand you as “Alt-Right.”) to use the space that enslavedblackpeople have made possible for you to infiltrate…
… in order to spew your disgusting racist, anti-Semitic bullshit.
Y’all can choke.
For real.
You know, something seems suspiciously familiar a8out you, 8ut I just can't seem to put my finger on it.
