some white students at the University of Louisiana smeared themselves with mud and pretended to kick and beat another student, while chanting “Jena 6″ and “N*ggers put the noose on.”
I used to believe that this type of behavior was just kids who were too stupid to understand the context. Like with the 19-year-olds who burned a cross in my old neighborhood, I believed they had just never thought very deeply about race and racism. But now I am beginning to see in it the growing, deep-seated belief in white superiority along with a simultaneous lack of empathy that allows people to cheer at others’ misfortune. Hey, it could never be their heads in those nooses, right?

Traditional Southern Racism evolved differently that Northern White Racism.White supremacy as a practice came more from the master slave period.The White working class was a buffer between the slaves and the planters. White supremacy meant survival for the white working class.
In the North were I was born it was much different. There weren’t any blacks around my area.The racism of the North was more white separatism fueled by observation and competition under wage slavery. I am a white separatist and I believe that serves the best interests in the long run of both races. What amazes me is that billions have been spent conditioning the public to accept PC multi-racialism. Looking at it honestly it has failed. So why is so much time money and energy spent on force instead of free choice? And why are there are almost no pro-separatist speakers allowed on any university campus in the United States?This trend insures continued violence and probably on a greater scale. Tom Metzger
