The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said in the Justifiable Homicide Series (2007) that “there is no law on the books that White Supremacists feel they need to respect, particularly if that law would lead to our acquisition of strength or power to remove an impediment to our pathway of success.”
There are seven main predominant doctrines of this “new White racism” that are emerging now. We now take a closer look at each perspective:
1-White Nationalism is an ideology that advocates the idea of whiteness being synonymous with citizenship. It is the belief in a White nation and ranges from a preference for one’s specific White ethnic group, to feelings of superiority, including calls for national citizenship to be reserved exclusively for White people. Nazism and White separatism is a sub concept of White nationalism.
2-White Supremacy is an ideological perspective centered around the belief that the White race is superior to all other races in certain characteristics, traits, and attributes to all other peoples’ and therefore should politically, economically and socially rule non-White people. White supremacy is a political ideology promoting domination by White people (as evidenced by historical and contemporary socio-political structures such as slavery, Jim Crow Laws, indentureship labor schemes and apartheid.
3-Anti-Semitism is hostility, prejudice, or discrimination against Jewish people. There remains, however, some ambiguity to the real identity of the original Jews and there has been the academic negligence of the African historical roots of all Semitic peoples. But for all intents and purposes of this article we make reference to contemporary Ethno- European Jews.
4-Right-wing populism is a political view that rejects the mainstream political consensus as it appeals to the “common man” as opposed to the liberal elites. In Europe right-wing populism is also an expression used to describe groups and political parties generally known for their opposition to immigration from non-European countries.
5- Nativism is the political position of supporting a favored status for particular recognized and established inhabitants of a nation as opposed to newcomers or immigrants. This view, however, is both skewed and illogical as people of European ancestry are not the original natives of any part of the world, but in order to justify this view, real indigenous or native peoples have been philosophically dehumanized in theory.
6-The Neo-Reactionary Movement or Dark Enlightenment is an anti-democratic movement of thinkers and writers that reject egalitarianism and seeks to restore White privilege. “Neo-reactionaries” have been described as an informal “community of bloggers” and political theorists who have been active since the 2000s.
7-Islamophobia refers to fear, discrimination, hatred and misinformation propaganda campaigns directed against Muslims as individuals and against the religion of Islam as an ideology. Note that misinformation propaganda campaigning is a major feature of Islamophobia because the real truth about the philosophy of Islam, in many instances, tends to have more in common with both Christianity and Judaism than they both have with each other.
New U.S. National Security Advisor to Trump, Michael Flynn has described the religion of Islam as a “vicious cancer.”
The man tipped to be the new Attorney General Jeff Sessions has expressed views that have been supportive of the KKK. Stephen Bannon ran a media association called Brietbart News which was the mouthpiece for the White Supremacist Alt- Right Movement and Mike Pompeo is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association (NRA) which is so pro-White and all White that one of their few (possibly only) publicly known Black members Coilon Noir is treated like a celebrity to some and an anomaly to others.
We continue to monitor the evolution and resurgence of this old revitalized racism as we move towards January 2017.
