Minorities are Unwelcome in the United States

Beware! If you are not a White European you are not welcome in the United States.  DO NOT believe what is written on the Statue of Liberty if you are not part of that group.

The behavior of the United States today should be a warning to those who are not White Anglo Saxons about their treatment and opportunities if they migrate to this country.

 

More than our mistreatment of African Americans (Blacks) who were held as slaves until the Civil War that ended on May 13, 1865. Other Non-White people have been treated with disrespect, hated and jailed because they are viewed enemies of America.  Look at America’s history as a guide.  The following events are examples of the treatment of Non-White in the United States.  There are many more.

 

I wish it wasn’t so.  

 

From 1778 to 1871, the United States government entered into more than 500 treaties with the Native American tribes; all of these treaties have since been violated in some way or outright broken by the US government, while at least one treaty was violated or broken by Native American tribes.

 

One of the worst and most disgusting things happened in the 1829 decision by the Supreme Court in Johnson v. M’Intosh. The court ruled that the U.S. Government could sell Native American land to non-Native people out from under the tribes. Believe it or not, they were actually trying to do just that. Under President Andrew Jackson Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muskogee, Creek and Seminole people were forced from their lands required to march to Oklahoma. Thousands died in that march.

 

The Chinese Exclusion Act was a United States federal law signed by President Chester A. Arthur on May 6, 1882, prohibiting all immigration of Chinese laborers.  Those Chinese were needed to build the transcontinental railroad but by the 1880s the job was done.

 

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor all people of Japanese descent, even though they were born and raised in the United States were put into internment camps for the duration of World War 2.  Many Americans don’t like calling them concentration camps but that is what they were.

 

The Mexican Repatriation was a mass deportation of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans from the United States between 1929 and 1936. Estimates of how many were repatriated range from 400,000 to 2,000,000. An estimated sixty percent of those deported were birthright citizens of the United States.[2]:330 Because the forced movement was based on race, and ignored citizenship, the process arguably meets modern legal definitions of ethnic cleansing.

 

In 1955 Mexican immigrants were caught in the snare of Operation Wetback, the biggest mass deportation of undocumented workers in United States history. As many as 1.3 million people may have been swept up in the Eisenhower-era campaign with a racist name, which was designed to root out undocumented Mexicans from American society.  The short-lived operation used military-style tactics to remove Mexican immigrants—some of them American citizens—from the United States. Though millions of Mexicans had legally entered the country through joint immigration programs in the first half of the 20th century, Operation Wetback was designed to send them back to Mexico.

 

MS St. Louis was a German ocean liner. In 1939, she set off on a voyage in which her captain, Gustav Schröder, tried to find homes for over 900 Jewish refugees from Germany. Due to countries’ immigration policies based on domestic political realities, rather than humanitarian grounds, they were denied entry to Cuba, the United States, and Canada. The refugees were finally accepted in various European countries, including Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, and France. Historians have estimated that approximately a quarter of them died in death camps during World War II.

What America’s ‘alt-right’ movement wants and what makes it different

Here is something that should scare every “non-White” person in America.  It is the rise of White Supremacist organizations.  They have been in America since 1866 when the KKK was founded.  The success of such groups is proven when they are discussed in detail by a Canadian newspaper.

Over the last few months, the so-called “alt-right” has become one of the most prominent factions of the conservative media. The movement’s leading outlet is Breitbart News, whose chairman, Stephen Bannon, has just become the CEO of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

WASHINGTON—A certain set of values is enjoying a resurgence under a new, tech-savvy label.

The new face of white supremacism is a green cartoon frog.

His fans call him Pepe. On Twitter, you can find him dressed in a Nazi uniform, denying the Holocaust, disparaging Mexicans and Muslims and blacks, mocking feminists, and wearing a Donald Trump campaign hat.

The memes are made by supporters of the “alt-right,” a web-savvy racist movement with a fondness for bigoted harassment. It’s having the best month of its young existence.

Last week, Trump handed the leadership of his campaign to Stephen Bannon, head of Breitbart News, a website Bannon has described as “the platform for the alt-right.” On Thursday, Hillary Clinton claimed in a major speech that the alt-right had “effectively taken over the Republican Party,” which sent Google searches for the term skyrocketing.

“Millions of people are Googling #AltRight and thinking through our ideas for the first time,” Richard Spencer, the “white nationalist” credited with popularizing the term, wrote on Twitter. “If that’s ‘losing,’ I’ll take it!”

They have a whole hodgepodge of ideas. Some of them — immigration should be halted or sharply curtailed; political correctness has run amok; feminism, multiculturalism and “globalism” are destructive — are within the bounds of mainstream conversation. At its core, though, the alt-right movement is about this: a belief that “white identity” and “white culture” are under threat and need to be aggressively defended.

“What the #AltRight means is that whites no longer are going to cower and will defend our own race,” wrote one supporter, who tweets under the handle Identitarian. “The #AltRight’s message isn’t one of hate, but one of love: Whites learning to love and support our own race.”

That means different things to different people. The umbrella movement encompasses everyone from veteran neo-Nazis to men’s rights activists to “intellectuals” who want to create a white “ethno-state” to a troll army of anonymous students who claim they are puncturing political correctness by heaping racist abuse upon black Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones or anti-Semitic abuse upon Jews.

Jones felt compelled to briefly quit Twitter after she was subjected to a vicious online mob incited by Milo Yiannopoulos, a Breitbart editor sympathetic to the alt-right. Jewish journalists Julia Ioffe, Ben Shapiro, and Jonathan Weisman have been deluged with Holocaust memes and threats of violence.

“They think it’s all in good fun, too. They are anti-Semitic, they know what they’re doing is anti-Semitic, but they think it’s funny,” said Marilyn Mayo, a research fellow at the Center on Extremism of the Anti-Defamation League.

Mayo described the alt-right, whose size is unknown, as “a subgrouping under the white supremacist movement.” But she said it is different from previous groups in its youthfulness, its social media fluency and how it is trying to influence conservative discourse rather than withdrawing from conventional politics.

“Even though the alt-right rejects mainstream conservatism, they still want to be a part of the conversation. That’s why they’re calling themselves the alternative-right,” Mayo said.

The movement is also different, extremism expert Brian Levin said, in its embrace of people of diverse political views. Anxieties about globalization and the changing complexion of America are spread across a far broader swath of the population than a “mere Hitlerian group” could ever hope to reach, he said.

“It’s almost a siren call: give me your libertarians, your hardened bigots, your ultraconservative disenfranchised, and we will embrace you,” said Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino.

Some prominent figures on the mainstream right have angrily attempted an expulsion. Conservative pundit Erick Erickson has called the alt-right the “Alt-Reich,” likening it to Nazism. Stuart Stevens, chief strategist to Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign, says the movement is nothing more than old-fashioned “hate.”

“There is no ‘alt-right.’ It’s just rebranded racism. It’s like calling slaves ‘agrarian interns.’ No,” Stevens wrote on Twitter.

Much of the alt-right rejects the suggestion that it is racist. But its own definitions meet the criteria. In a Thursday statement, American Renaissance, a publication founded by alt-right “white nationalist” Jared Taylor, said, “There is very broad overlap between the races, but they differ in average levels of intelligence and in other traits.”

Such people now have a toehold in public life. Though Clinton may have been exaggerating when she claimed the alt-right now runs Trump’s party, he has given white racists a legitimacy they have not enjoyed in decades.

“The bottom line is: this movement, which has hardened bigots within it, has now become part of the mainstream political process,” Levin said. “The Klan, or even people who wore swastikas, just couldn’t get through the door. These guys have their foot in the door.”
