The Criminal-in-Chief has revived white racism against blacks by not only enabling the white supremacist cockroaches to come out from the sewers of white trash America, but he has been deleting, erasing, and trying to eliminate the historical contributions of African-Americans to the construction of America.
Like the Zionist criminals whose cruelty and inhumanity have twisted reality by portraying themselves as the victims of their own Palestinian victims, Trump has indulged in reversing the factual narrative of white trash pro-slavery history and continues to lament the fall of his white trash criminals as victims of the country's efforts toward equality and equity.
1906 and 1921 mark the years when white trash America committed atrocious massacres against an Africa American community trying to move beyond the slavery past towards full integration. But here we are more than a century later, still trying to understand why is racism so officially and culturally engrained in this country's history.
I can only find the answer in the fact that the colonial settlers of America were overwhelmingly from the white trash backward peasants of England in particular and of Europe at large. Those backward, ignorant, illiterate, very conservative and religious peasants were themselves victims escaping the feudal and highly stratified social structure (promoted as the "natural order") of Europe before the enlightenment and the revolutions of the late 18th century. Instead of genuinely liberating themselves from the jail of man's inhumanity to man, they came to this country and avenged themselves by tormenting other communities that were more innocent and less depraved than them because they had never been victims. Haven't we been taught that the victims of abuse grow up to become abusers when given the opportunity?
How could revolutionaries against English colonial barbarity become themselves colonial barbarians tormenting their own free-labor African slaves and their hosts the indigenous Amerindians? And now, despite the decades and the centuries, despite the constitution and the laws, despite all the advances made by science in our understanding of our origins as a species, we still have criminal-minded racists and pseudo-religious barbarians in the likes of Trump and his white supremacist followers who continue to breathe the disgusting and repulsive poison of man's inhumanity to man.
I see no difference between what Anglo-American white trash settlers did to African-Americans back then and what white Euro-trash Zionist settlers are doing to the indigenous Palestinians today. Just as the Atlanta massacres perpetrated by whites against blacks were called "riots", war criminal Netanyahu yesterday was dismissing his ethnic cleansing settlers in Palestine as "teenage rioters".

120 years later, Atlanta honors the lives lost in the 1906 Race Massacre

Fulton County's remembrance days seek to preserve the history of a violent attack that targeted Black residents and businesses.
In 1906, years before Tulsa became known as home to one of the deadliest massacres of Black men and women in United States history, a similar race massacre befell Atlanta.
Now the Fulton County Commission Board has established official days of remembrance for the Atlanta Race Massacre, as the four-day event from September 22, 1906, through September 25, 1906, resulted in the deaths of at least 25 Black Atlantans.
"The terror of 1906 accelerated the disenfranchisement of Black Atlantans and the expansion of Jim Crow segregation and drove thriving black families and businesses from their destroyed neighborhoods," Commissioner Doug Barrett said on September 16, revealing a proclamation to the Fulton County Remembrance Coalition to honor the lives lost during one of Atlanta's darkest chapters.
Yellow journalism utilized in The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution helped accelerate the massacre as top officials connected to the paper's past and present believed that Black citizens shouldn't have the right to vote, later spreading false accusations about Black men sexually assaulting white women and other forms of criminality.
The accusations ran counter to the actual progress and mobility of Black people in the city, with half a dozen Black colleges, a growing middle-class and Black men seeing progress in areas such as education and amassing a coalition of political power. A growing Black upper class became a major talking point in the governor's race, and the fear of its growth was seen as a clear issue, according to Clifford Kuhn, a professor at Georgia State University.
"African-American men had attained the vote during Reconstruction, and now there was a broad consensus in the white community that if the black man sought equality in one sphere, in the political sphere, he would seek equality in other spheres, in particular the so-called social sphere," Kuhn, who died in 2015, told NPR in 2006.
The amplified stories shared in the papers, as well as the Atlanta News, continued to stoke white fears of Black people. It would all come to a head during a period of four days in September 1906, leading mobs of thousands of white men to terrorize Black citizens, effectively shutting the city down.
Men and women were beaten and dragged from streetcars and businesses were vandalized. Mobs ventured into Black neighborhoods and despite retaliatory efforts from Black men who took weapons in self-defense, a resulting shootout in Brownsville, an area present day known as the home of Clark Atlanta University, where one white police officer died and more than 250 Black men were arrested.
Following the massacre, The Journal and The Constitution attempted to call the incident a "riot." Black press countered by calling the attacks, lynchings and harassment of Black citizens a massacre, a term that would grow in stature when documenting other race massacres of the early 20th century across the South.
Kuhn, who, along with Gregory Mixon, wrote about the massacre for the New Georgia Encyclopedia, noted that the massacre largely faded from public consciousness over time. Eventually, its remembrance would lead to the founding of the Fulton County Remembrance Coalition and the incorporation of the massacre into Georgia's social studies curriculum.
"Never underestimate the weight of a word," the Fulton County Remembrance Coalition shared on Instagram.
