Let's stipulate two things up front.
The power to define is the power to rule. --- Author Unknown
That is an obvious truth and needs no further explanation. We'll discuss the definition of racism and how the definition is used to rule us.
All warfare is based on deception. --- Sun Tzu, The Art of War
We are at war. If you do not already know that, then you haven't been paying attention. I'm speaking to those of my audience who are awake and aware. If you're not, then delete this message. Find a Gilligan's Island re-run on the Tube and go back to sleep. Those Blue Pills are wondrously effective.
There are many definitions of racism found on line. There's this one from those English chaps at Oxford University.
+++The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.+++
Let's break this up into two parts. "The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race...". Well, yeah. That's the way it is. Who can argue with that? You might say that each race is unique, just like all the other races. Then there's part two:
"...especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.+++"
"Inferior or superior" are context evaluations. The average honky or gringo who found himself in a Vietnamese village trying to fit in with the natives would not function very well in a rice paddy. He would be inferior in the eyes of the local culture.
There are places in Chicago where the average cracker would not do very well, either! :-)) So it's a matter of context, y'see.
The CMM, the Controlled Mass Media, are the ones that shape our understanding of and definition of "racism". There's a war going on and the CMM is a servant of what Frances Parker Yockey called "the forces of outer darkness". The CMM wants you to believe that racism is evil and fill you with guilt for having such thoughts. They fill your head and your airwaves with images of Ku Klux Klan and lynch mobs and this is what they want you to think of when they label someone as a racist.
While such events are historically true, they are not a complete definition of racism any more than genocide and burning at the stake define Christianity, though they are also historically accurate events. As Richard Nixon would say; "Let me make one thing perfectly clear."
The forces of outer darkness would not be against racism if it did not threaten their very existence.
If you made a list of people, policies and institutions that are actively undermining the social structure of this country, your list would probably be include many of the names on my list. Corruption would be on that list. When have you ever listened to a CMM campaign against corruption? Name me one mass media outlet that has waged war on corruption. They do not consider it a threat to their survival because they, the forces of outer darkness, are the ones who are doing it.
+++On this day in 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of a Louisiana law mandating “equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races” on railroad trains.
Segregation was legal and conformed to the constitution in 1896.
+++In 1954, the Supreme Court reversed itself in the Brown vs. Board of Education and said that segregation was unconstitutional.
There are three possibilities here:
1. Segregation is constitutional.
2. Segregation is unconstitutional.
3. Segregation is not covered by the constitution.
In the 1954 decision, the Supremes cited the 14th amendment as the basis of their decision. That amendment was in effect in 1868, many years before the 1896 decision by the Supremes. Read the text for yourself. One could make a convincing case that the Supremes inferred a meaning into the amendment.
If the Supreme Court can decide this, is there anything they can't decide? Could they legalize slavery? Remember, slavery was legal in the US when the Civil War broke out. They could reverse the abortion rights decision. They could legalize segregation again. Nine members of the court could decide things that affected our lives. In the case of a 5 - 4 decision, one member would have the power to decide for us all. That's scary!
What I'm trying to get across here is that it doesn't matter what the constitution says. What matters is what the Supremes say it says.
The power to define is the power to rule.
The Supreme Court vacancy figures in the power struggle in the presidential election. Everyone admits, even proclaims, that whoever fills that seat will influence the court for at least a generation. The forces of outer darkness want Hillary Clinton to win. The forces of nationalism favor the election of Donald Trump.
Do what you can. We're playing for all the marbles this time. What's decided in November reverberates around the world and out into the cosmos.
