Higher Learning

In 1995 I remember watching a movie titled Higher Learning. In it one of the characters played by actor Michael Rapaport (Remy), befriends a white supremacist, and eventually joins a Neo Nazi Skinhead group.

The movie dabbles in some of today's social issues, and how peer pressure affected these young students while they tried to fit in their society. In the movie, Remy is brainwashed to kill for the white race. 

I was reminded of the movie when I saw a picture of Neo-Nazi groups planning yesterday's "National Day of Hate" protest in the United States.

While the United States protects the right of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, and other hate groups to hold public rallies and express their views openly, Germany has strict laws banning Nazi symbols. 

Looking at the top picture, it is clear that we have a lot of young men in the United States trying to fit in, and being brainwashed to hate. Why are these young men so mad that they feel the need to embrace a hateful ideology and loathe those different than them?

Racist Cowards Need Assault Weapons To Feel Powerful

A couple of days ago, a Twitter user posted a picture of a birthday cake for a 10 year old, designed with an assault weapon, and a pair of insults for president Biden. As per the user who posted this on Twitter, the image caption of this ten year old's birthday cake illustrates what grooming and indoctrination looks like.

Ten people were killed during a mass shooting at a Buffalo, New York supermarket yesterday. The 180-page manifesto posted online by the perpetrator of the hate crime appeared to get his talking points from Tucker Carlson, Fox News, and the Republican Party about "Great Replacement theory".

The Great Replacement theory is a far-right anti-immigrant white supremacy conspiracy theory where they accuse non-whites of replacing them in the United States.

On his manifesto, the racist shooter goes on about his perceptions of the decreasing size of the white population and claims of ethnic and cultural replacement of whites; just as Tucker Carlson has expressed in his FoxNews program in the past. This loser attributes the internet for most of his beliefs and describes himself as a fascist, and a white supremacist.

This loser not only posted a 180-page manifesto online confessing to the attack, he also live-streamed the shooting. He pleaded, "not guilty" in court. I wonder if the police took him to Burger King for a cheeseburger after the killings?

The Chickens Have Come Home To Roost

Armed protests are being planned across all 50 state capitols next week, according to the FBI. They also received information that these domestic terrorists are going to storm federal buildings if the orange stain is removed from office.

Make no mistake, this is the end result of this administration four years of Nazi-like propaganda; in cahoots with their army of enablers: the Proud Boys, QAnon, FauxNews, InfoWars, Breitbart, etc. The orange stain biggest supporters still believe him when he lies.

At the same time, the orange stain and his GOP enablers have refused to disavow white supremacy and militia groups. Like Leonard Pitts Jr very succinctly explained, "white conservatives gave violent white radicals a pass. Now they're about to destroy the country".

The chickens have come home to roost.

White Supremacists Disguised as Black Lives Matter Arrested

It's official, confirmed by law enforcement in Virginia. A group of White Supremacists disguised themselves as Black Lives Matter protesters to disrupt a peaceful protest, have been arrested.

“There were white supremacists marching under the banner of Black Lives Matter, an attempt to undermine an otherwise overwhelmingly peaceful movement toward social justice,” Richmond Virginia mayor Levar Stoney said.

The news report indicates that the mayor "thanked Black Lives Matter protesters for trying to stop the white supremacists from provoking violence and destruction." Some of the white supremacists were charged with felony assault on a law enforcement officer and felony possession of a firearm while rioting.

Who would've thunk? White supremacists infiltrating the protests to instigate riots. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, shocked NOT.
