The True Face of American Terror

Always Has Been, Always Will Be...

I don't know if it's the years and years of hard drinking and drugging... the mega-violent movies and video games consumed from early on... the wild and uncouth "bro" culture in our high schools and sporting events... the even wilder "frat boy" culture in our universities... the cantankerous labor and police unions, the brainwashing military... the fear of Blacks rising up and doing to them what their ancestors did to Black and indigenous American slaves... the fear of losing their privilege...

Honestly, I don't rightly know which of these is to blame. But what is clear, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is that an increasing number of White American men are, emotionally and/or morally, broken.

Now that isn't to say that non-white men are not (because we very much are as well), but when it comes to terrorism in THIS country (and maybe one could argue globally as well) the White man takes the cake every fucking time. Below, I've compiled a list of the most egregious White terrorists in US history... starting with, who I consider to be the first known terrorist of the 15th century.

Christopher Columbus - Directly and indirectly responsible for the death of at least 250,000 indigenous people from 1492 until 1499 on the island of Hispaniola (modern-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic).

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichol - Killed 168 people in the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995.

Larry Wayne Shoemake - Killed a black man in a random attack in Jackson, MS on April 12, 1996.

Eric Robert Rudolph - Sets and detonates a bomb at the Atlanta Olympics (killing 1 person) on July 27, 1996. Kills another man with a bomb at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, AL on January 29, 1998.

Alan Pilon, Robert Mason, and Jason McVean - Murdered a police officer in Cortez, Colorado on May 29, 1998.

James Charles Kopp - Shot and killed an abortion provider at his home in Amherst, NY on October 23, 1998.

Benjamin Matthew Williams and James Tyler Williams - The Williams Brothers killed a gay couple in Redding, CA on July 1, 1999.

Richard Andrew Poplawski - Killed three police officers from Pittsburgh, PA on April 4, 2009. Apparently, he believed a national “gun ban” was imminent.

Scott Roeder - Killed abortion provider Dr. George Tiller on May 31, 2009.

James von Brunn - Shot and killed a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. from point-blank range on June 10, 2009. von Brunn was 89-years old at the time of the killing.

James Alex Fields, Jr. - Rammed through a crowd of counter protestors at a white nationalism rally in Charlottesville, VA on August 12, 2017.

I thought the prospect of madmen driving through people like it was nothing was purely a European problem. Clearly, I was misguided in that belief. What took place in Charlottesville, VA recently is yet another weak attempt by “race soldiers” attempting to start a race war in this country. The KKK, Neo-Nazis, the alt-right, and other groups involved in this violent chess match have been wanting this for centuries since Blacks walked off the southern plantations.

They’re disgusted with our achievements… despise our collection of wealth… loathe how we’ve educated ourselves… and, secretly, lose sleep at night over the thought of losing their wife, girlfriend, mother, sister, or daughter to her lust for a Black man. There is nothing viler to the White racist eye and mind than that specific image, which is enough to stir an already unstable individual into the throws of violence. It’s like The Joker [Heath Ledger] said in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning film The Dark Knight,

You see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push!

What is more, a lot of these white race soldiers commit violent atrocities against non-whites (non-everything) in order to spark a race war. These misguided individuals salivate at the mouth for a chance at a civil war do-over because they're so butt hurt over losing the first one.

Dylann Roof himself even said as much to police, he slaughtered those nine black people in that church in the HOPE it would lead to war between whites and blacks... let me say that again… he did what he did in the hope it would lead to a second Civil War. But here is how you know these race soldiers are not smart… if you (they) couldn’t beat us (the Northerners, the Starks, the liberal elites, the progressives) in the 1860s, when automatic weapons did not exist yet, then HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT TO BEAT US NOW???!!! GTFOH with that, silly white race soldiers... victory is for the strong, not the weak.

Plowing through counter-protestors, blowing people up, shooting and stabbing others for no reason (other than their skin color, gender, religion, appearance, etc., etc.) is so beyond weak and fearful, no word exists in the English language that best explains that level of trembling malice.

Some White men have long been terrified of the prospect of Black men taking their women (80% of White women desire sex with a Black man), their money (out-earning them in the most lucrative, white male-dominated professional fields), their privilege (getting the criminal justice system and corporate boards to treat EVERYONE the same regardless of race, religion, gender, etc.) and their place as leaders of the free world (being the creators of a powerful international Black economy that rivals and/or outperforms the US economy as a whole).

But what these white race soldiers should be concerned with is that one day, maybe in my lifetime, a black generation will come along and look at what happened in our history in this country.

And one of them will say, "Well, why didn't they hit those racist assholes back? I don't get it?" and surely, someone will respond with "Because God said turn the other cheek...violence begets violence..." and yada, yada, yada. But if we're lucky, that future someone will emerge when nonviolent men and women on ALL sides finish rattling off their worn-out spiel.

And, hopefully, that someone will say something like, "When God has to be translated to you, it is not your religion, so pick up that bat and watch my back and I'll watch yours!"
