sail away: make fiends and influence sheeple

Count your blessings. But in disguise. Arkansas Republicans washing and pressing their white hoodies jest’ in case. They have a DVD copy of Griffith’s Birth of a Nation, and are dusting off the salad day photos of the John Birch Society. These are not neo-Confederates who like good ole’ boys want to wax poetic, or even fantasize as psycho killers like Dennis Hopper in  Paris Trout, or be a free spirit like a Duke of Hazzard.  They are just run-of-the-mill “ordinary” folk with southern sensibilities who might read Eustace Mullins ; in fact Muslims are such an obsession, its like a transfer of anti-Semitism onto a new target. The latest rant from fringe candidate Jon Hubbard is Crankville all over it, but reinforces broader American doctrine on slavery by limiting to a known known as they say, instead of turning over the rock and picking at the worms and bugs festering at the core of the concept of slavery and its intrinsic relation to American prosperity and social structure; the sad legacy of white slavery and their disposability as cannon fodder for the American dream, followed by the Black tragedy and continuing unabated really if we look at the effect of colonization and financial strangulation of the Arab world and whoever else gets in the way of a heady good time. Hey, if  Barack Obamster can starve Arabs to death with sanctions, these bit actors are small chow…

( see link at end)…There’s also Rep. Jon Hubbard of Jonesboro, famously unhinged, who’s put some of his choicest thoughts on paper in a book available on Amazon, “Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative.” I’d heard a lot about this book and was talking to Lindsey Millar this morning about ordering a copy. But Michael Cook at Talk Business has already written about some choice excerpts. I confess that publicizing thoughts such as these might only serve to encourage the Republican voter base. But the truth will set someone free. Excerpts selected by Cook and others:

—William Aiken Walker (American painter, 1839-1921) Cotton Pickers
William Aiken Walker (1838-1921) was born in Charleston, South Carolina. Walker had his 1st one-man show at the 1850 South Carolina Institute Fair. After the Civil War, where he sketched for the Confederate Army, Walker began visiting southern resort areas, where he painted small genre paintings for tourists charging between 50 cents & $3. —Read More:http://b-womeninamericanhistory19.blogspot.ca/2010/10/reconstruction-in-south_3021.html

Slavery was good for black people:

“… the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.” (Pages 183-89)
If you think slavery was bad, you should have seen Africa:

African Americans must “understand that even while in the throes of slavery, their lives as Americans are likely much better than they ever would have enjoyed living in sub-Saharan Africa.”
“Knowing what we know today about life on the African continent, would an existence spent in slavery have been any crueler than a life spent in sub-Saharan Africa?” (Pages 93 and 189)

Black people are ignorant:

“Wouldn’t life for blacks in America today be more enjoyable and successful if they would only learn to appreciate the value of a good education?” (Page 184)
Integration was bad for white people

“… one of the stated purposes of school integration was to bring black students up to a level close to that of white students. But, to the great disappointment of everyone, the results of this theory worked exactly in reverse of its intended purpose, and instead of black students rising to the educational levels previously attained by white students, the white students dropped to the level of black students. To make matters worse the lack of discipline and ambition of black students soon became shared by their white classmates, and our educational system has been in a steady decline ever since.” (Page 27)

It’s basically hopeless.

“… will it ever become possible for black people in the United States of America to firmly establish themselves as inclusive and contributing members of society within this country?” (Page 187)
Immigration is bad.

..the immigration issue, both legal and illegal… will lead to planned wars or extermination. Although now this seems to be barbaric and uncivilized, it will at some point become as necessary as eating and breathing.” (Page 9) Read More:http://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2012/10/05/republican-extremists-in-their-own-words

ADDENDUM:

(see link at end)…Yet, much of the views of Africans, African history and the condition of people of African descent in the Americas is informed by a deliberate systematic cultivation of ignorance about Africa and African history in Western intellectual culture, beginning with the impoverished content of the school curriculum on Africa and its history. You don’t cultivate an informed and balanced perspective of a subject by first systematically cultivating ignorance about it. You can obtain a university degree in the West and yet be unable to locate Egypt, South Africa or Nigeria on a map.

The West, beginning in the era of its global ascendance, elaborated a Eurocentric version of world history designed to pander to the racial pride of Westerners by embellishment of Western history vis-a-vis its very recent historical achievements while sparing no effort at disparaging or belittling the achievement of the victims of its hegemonic agenda. A few Western scholars have repeatedly, strongly criticized the heavily biased history curriculum of the Western educational system.Read more: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/334383#ixzz28ki3Yfc2

—The indentured servants who served a tidy little period of 4 to 7 years polishing the master’s silver and china and then taking their place in colonial high society, were a minuscule fraction of the great unsung hundreds of thousands of WHITE slaves who were worked to death in this country (U.S.) from the early l7th century onward.
Up to one-half of all the arrivals in the American colonies were White slaves and they were America’s FIRST slaves. These Whites were slaves for life, long before Blacks ever were. This slavery was even hereditary. White children born to White slaves were enslaved too.
Whites were auctioned on the block with children sold and separated from their parents and wives sold and separated from their husbands.—Read More:http://elliotlakenews.wordpress.com/2007/01/14/yes-virginia-white-slavery-existed/

————————————————-

Funny how Western Culture is founded on the idea of invidious comparison. It would not be surprising if a significant segment of racists are the legacy of former white slaves and the slave mentality. Nothing like an oppressed people to lord it over a group slightly lower on the pecking order:

(see link at end)…Foster R. Dulles writing in Labor in America: A History, states that whether convicts, children ‘spirited’ from the countryside or political prisoners, White slaves “experienced discomforts and sufferings on their voyage across the Atlantic that paralleled the cruel hardships undergone by negro slaves on the notorious Middle Passage.”

Dulles says the Whites were “indiscriminately herded aboard the ‘white guineamen,’ often as many as 300 passengers on little vessels of not more than 200 tons burden–overcrowded, unsanitary…The mortality rate was sometimes as high as 50% and young children seldom survived the horrors of a voyage which might last anywhere from seven to twelve weeks.”

Independent investigator A.B. Ellis in the Argosy writes concerning the transport of White slaves, “The human cargo, many of whom were still tormented by unhealed wounds, could not all lie down at once without lying on each other. They were never suffered to go on deck. The hatchway was constantly watched by sentinels armed with hangers and blunder busses. In the dungeons below all was darkness, stench, lamentation, disease and death.”

Marcus Jernegan describes the greed of the shipmasters which led to horrendous loss of life for White slaves transported to America:

“The voyage over often repeated the horrors of the famous ‘middle passage’ of slavery fame. An average cargo was three hundred, but the shipmaster, for greater profit, would sometimes crowd as many as six hundred into a small vessel…The mortality under such circumstances was tremendous, sometimes more than half…Mittelberger (an eyewitness) says he saw thirty-two children thrown into the ocean during one voyage.”

“The mercantile firms, as importers of (White) servants, were not too careful about their treatment, as the more important purpose of the transaction was to get ships over to South Carolina which could carry local produce back to Europe. Consequently the Irish–as well as others–suffered greatly…

“It was almost as if the British merchants had redirected their vessels from the African coast to the Irish coast, with the white servants coming over in much the same fashion as the African slaves.” (Warren B. Smith, White Servitude in Colonial South Carolina).

A study of the middle passage of White slaves was included in a Parliamentary Petition of 1659. It reported that White slaves were locked below deck for two weeks while the slaveship was still in port. Once under way, they were “all the way locked up under decks…amongst horses.” They were chained from their legs to their necks.

Those academics who insist that slavery is an exclusively Black racial condition forget or deliberately omit the fact that the word slave originally was a reference to Whites of East European origin – “Slavs.”

Moreover, in the 18th century in Britain and America, the Industrial Revolution spawned the factory system whose first laborers were miserably oppressed White children as young as six years of age. They were locked in the factories for sixteen hours a day and mangled by the primitive machinery. Hands and arms were regularly ripped to pieces. Little girls often had their hair caught in the machinery and were scalped from their foreheads to the back of their necks.Read More:http://www.revisionisthistory.org/forgottenslaves.html
