They were always here.

I escaped from the south to the coasts, but I always tried to warn people how vile the worst of us were.

Nobody coukd believe it, but remember, Hitler wrote about the south as the model for Germany in mein kampf, and the nazis copied the Nuremberg Laws from Jim crow almost verbatim.

They also took inspiration from the Catholic Church and the inquisition. The Church did ethnic cleansing long before the Nazis.

Nazi legal theorists saw the U.S. as a “pioneer” in racist legislation.

I believe they got some of their ideas from American eugenicists.

I’ve lived in much of the country, and I’m not white.

There is racism everywhere.

But the South is like going from Lebanon to the deepest reaches of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

They’re monsters, and proud of it.

It’s funny how the capitalist media interviews this lady to explain her side. White privilege in action. Imagine capitalist media doing that for any refugee, anti-genocide activist, leftist, etc. Liberalism supports fascism.
