White Nationalism’s Deep American Roots


Robert bowers wanted everyone to know why he did it.
I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered,” he posted on the social-media network Gab shortly before allegedly entering the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on October 27 and gunning down 11 worshippers. He “wanted all Jews to die,” he declared while he was being treated for his wounds. Invoking the specter of white Americans facing “genocide,” he singled out HIAS, a Jewish American refugee-support group, and accused it of bringing “invaders in that kill our people.” Then–Attorney General Jeff Sessions, announcing that Bowers would face federal charges, was unequivocal in his condemnation: “These alleged crimes are incomprehensibly evil and utterly repugnant to the values of this nation.”

  1. Long article. But It's really quite simple. Europeans came to the New World and conquered it. They set up a political system that put themselves in power. They were the majority, so their power was not diminished by other races having political rights.

    At any juncture where the White hegemony became endangered, then the Whites go back into conquering mode.

    We are used to Black people in America periodically rioting. The examples are too numerous to even require a list here -- just name any city where they reside in large numbers to begin with: Washington, Los Angeles, Baltimore, etc etc.

    So why be amazed that Whites gang together and revert to violence outside the realm of law when they feel threatened?
