'Only in Mississippi': White representatives vote to create white-appointed court system for Blackest city in AmericaHouse votes to create a separate court system within the city of Jackson — the Blackest city in America — appointed by white state officials.

There is a reason that states like Florida and others, especially in the Old Confederacy, do not like to be reminded of how widespread scourge of white supremacy was in their socieities: it was and is so very deeply ugly and misinformed. Politicians like Ron DeSantis don't want us to know the truth.

The legacy of slavery plagues the South and the United States more generally. As discussed in the Zombie, the tragedy of a compassionate and thoughtful person like Lincoln being replaced by Andrew Johnson, his vice president, can never be underestimated:

In his December 1867 annual message to Congress, Johnson insisted that blacks possessed less "capacity for government than any other race of people. No independent government of any form has ever been successful in their hands. On the contrary, wherever they have been left to their own devices they have shown a constant tendency to relapse into barbarism." (From Eric Foner's Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution, p. 180.)

This is the attitude that the white Republican legislature of Mississippi is imposing on the blackest city in the United States, Jackson. The legislature wants to resegregate Jackson by allowing the white section of the town to seceed from the City. By doing so, these guys know that they'll be furthering impoverish a the black community whose ancestors they enslaved.

The Mantra of White SupremacyThe idea that "anti-racist" is a code word for “anti-white” is the claim of avowed extremists.

Critical Race Theory is not some sort of anti-white boogie. It's the assertion (and proof) that race is a factor in pretty much all elements of American life, and maybe the life of other societies as well. But, because white supremacy was an avowed ideology of the country that seceded from the United States and then was forced to return without ever silencing those ideas, the supremacy doctrine and its many variant remains a potent and ugly force in this country.

Texas education board rejects proposal to call slavery ‘involuntary relocation’ — The Washington PostThe Texas State Board of Education said it told the work group advising on changes to the social studies curriculum to "revisit" the language.

This is another example of how willing and eager so many folks are to minimize what slavery actually was! What does "involuntary relocation" mean? Is it similar to being detoured when your in a hurry and road work means that you have to "involunrarily relocate" to another road?! No! It means, "If you don't do what we want, we're gonna kill you, assuming that you made it across the Atlantic Ocean after being chained on top of another 2-5 human beings for six weeks."

'A group of educators in Texas proposed referring to slavery as “involuntary relocation” in second-grade classes — before being rebuffed by the State Board of Education.

The nine educators made up one of many groups tasked with advising the Texas board on changes to the social studies curriculum, which would affect the state’s almost 9,000 public schools.'

White supremacy, Nazi ideology still a big problem for InstagramResearchers found hundreds of Instagram accounts sharing white supremacist and neo-Nazi content including dangerous movements like "accelerationism."

I could probably post 50-100 articles documenting the workings of white supremacy on any day...and I just might to demonstrate the pervasiveness of this virus. It's the Omicron of ideologies!
