We need to start calling what is happening in this country by what has become a forbidden word in the media: "white supremacy". In 2015 and 2016, during the first Trump campaign, the major prime time television networks would vocalize the term "white supremacy" or "white supremacists" concerning MAGA ideology; and because Donald Trump was instigating divisiveness across the country along racial lines. We cannot allow the existing establishment which has always had a foundation based on white supremacy to "normalize" blatantly racist behavior and erode the gains we made during the Civil Rights Era (which in many ways never ended). If other people in the United States will not call this white Christian nationalist movement by its true name, then those in opposition must call it out. The Trump administration and his MAGA followers have a white racist agenda, to make America "White Again". Why does the general media throw water on it, and expect "white supremacy" to get cleaner by calling it "white nationalism"? White nationalism is based out of white supremacy. After all, they are the ruling class and are not oppressed in America.
In Oklahoma, a white supremacist by the name of Charles McCall is running for governor. His television ads are blatantly racist, so much to the point one should questioned why any broadcast channel would run something with such vile content. Of course, this man who reports himself to also be a Christian, uses "God" for his political purposes, while hissing like a vile, contemptuous serpent. At some point in one of his television ads, McCall complains about Chinese nationals, and later states sending them to Shanghai, back to their country. As a major embracer of conspiracy theories, he slams Muslims complaining about Sharia Law, and radical Islam. And naturally, in true sycophant fashion, he points to his alignment with the Donald Trump in all his commercials. Look up some of his racist commercials on YouTube.
Across the United States, whether its Georgia or Oklahoma, Louisiana or Tennessee, we the people need to start taking a stand. Start writing these television stations which air vile racist content from politicians, and call it out for its offensiveness. Across the nation tv stations are airing this crap without any consequences for their actions, and making money off it! We have to raise up against this regime in different ways, and not just rely on voting. And believe this, voting remains essential for stopping this madness!! Americans must engage in voter participation all levels of government; including municipal, state and national elections. From the ground up we must root out racist politicians.
People must pay attention to the proposed bills in their towns and cities, because the goal of these white supremacists is demote power and crush economic stability for certain specific groups of people. Furthermore, billionaires want to weaken the power of Americans regardless of race. We are dealing with an oligarchy composed of white supremacists. The United States has always been a racist nation, but in the 1960's, with the passage of Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Acts, great gains were made by minorities for more equal representation. This further allowed for greater economic gains and political representation by actual minorities in political positions. However, a few weeks ago, our corrupt Supreme Court change all of that by destroying Section 2 of the voting Rights Act, and people of color have just lost a good deal of ground we gained. We now must think "numbers".
Because of this newly released green light to individual states to not control racist gerrymandering of districts--indeed-but instead engage in gerrymandering, it is imperative blacks and other minorities who recognize this oppressive ruling from the Supreme Court to counter it with the strategy of using large numbers. The more of us who vote, the better our chances to gain representation in gerrymandered districts. We cannot afford as a people to sit the mid-term elections out. NO! Every single vote counts on the upcoming midterm elections. We must develop a strategy to overcome this utilizing our numbers, and countering apathy. Apathy helped get us into this authoritarian mess in 2024. I am sick of hearing people saying they are tired of fighting, when they have never fought before other than within their own personal domain. Damn, at least just vote. If you black, if you a person of color, you will always have racist stuff coming at you. We must unite, strategize, and organize to now regain what we have lost, and fight to stop this regime from hurting us even further.
