Tucker Carlson touts ‘Replacement’ Conspiracy Theory; but his own Ancestor could have been Lynched

Tucker Carlson’s own family could easily be targeted by the hate he spews. Despite his WASP name and demeanor, Carlson is descended on his mother’s side from Cesar Maurice Lombardi (1845-1919), a Catholic Swiss Italian who immigrated to the United States during the big wave of 1850-1924.

Let us just recall that in 1891 some of New Orleans’ most upstanding and prominent citizens participated in one of the largest mass lynchings in US history, of 11 Italian-Americans. Tucker Carlson’s great-great grandfather could have been among the victims if he had immigrated to that city.

Attacks on Asian Americans are Rooted in over a Century of Racist Exclusion

The spine-chilling attacks on Asian-Americans around the country, in San Francisco, New York, and now most bloodily in Atlanta, are manifestations of a white supremacism that has deep roots in American history. The odious Trump and his minions whipped up hatred by branding the novel coronavirus the “Chinese flu” or “Kung Flu.” He was not doing something new. The coronavirus, of course, came to the United States from Europe.

Tucker Carlson’s descent into white supremacy: A timeline | Media Matters for America

AOC is right White Supremecy is a virus that exists in the US not everyone has caught it. White Supremacists have and we should stop asking if Trum is one. He has fully contracted the disease as has Tucker Carlson and Fox News, (ODT)

if they held “witnessing whiteness workshop” in their hometowns, Carlson called on his guest “to be honest and make a negative generalization about any other racial or ethnic group” besides white people.

June 18, 2018: Carlson accused people speaking up against the government detaining children in cages at the border of just wanting to “change your country forever.” Carlson also dismissed criticisms against Trump’s family separation policy, arguing that the costs of immigration are “entirely on you” and if you complain about it “they will call you ‘Hitler.’”

Trump Flashes The White Power Sign In Speech When He Mentions AOC | Crooks and Liars

Okay Hand GestureThe man charged in relation to the Christchurch massacre makes a sign to the camera during his appearance in the Christchurch District Court.

The hand signal the NZ Christchurch killer used in court is the same as Trump’s.

The hand gesture, often accompanied by a smirk, is associated with white power groups. The middle, ring and pinky fingers is said to represent a ‘W’ (white) and the thumb and forefinger come together to represent a ‘P’ (power).

Gunman’s cruel hand gesture in court – News.com.au

Trump this morning during his speech at Turning Point USA’s Teen Student Action Summit, a far-right group. Apparently signalling to his Aryan brothers that it’s open season on the young congresswoman, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Or maybe it’s just nothing at all. I don’t know. I’m not a White Supremacist with a grudge against brown people and ethnic minorities. You be the judge.

This Election saw the revival of white supremacy, nationalism and exclusion

The real danger of the white supremacist fanatics to the Muslim community, stimulated by this exploitation of fear, has not yet been recognised by the authorities.

The New York Times reported that:

There were five white extremist attacks in Australia from 2011 through 2017, all of which were attacks on mosques and Islamic centers.

Experts say the same broad motives are at play whether the target is a mosque in Perth or an asylum seekers’ shelter in Dresden or a synagogue in Pittsburgh. Attackers who identify as white, Christian and culturally European see an attack on their privileged position in the West by immigrants, Muslims and other religious and racial minorities.

White Nationalism’s Most Powerful Accelerant

The greater problem remains structural, far bigger than the fate of any individual sleaze monger. Educating those susceptible to their messaging as to why these voices are so toxic will be a harder struggle, given the sheer scale Big Tech offers. It will not be easy to do so without meaningful action by the tech industry, which only now seems to be somewhat recognizing that they have become to America today what sidewalk display cases were to Nazi Germany. Whether the U.S. political system is up to the challenge is highly dubious, but I am heartened by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden’s immediate and tenacious workto stop the spread of the Christchurch shooter’s video and extract answers from Facebook.

I see no contradiction between justice being served against the worst progenitors of right-wing extremism and empathy being exercised for the souls of those seduced. If far-right extremism is but a symptom of a national sickness, then the source of those issues is still upstream from the dead end of such violent hatred. And that’s our responsibility to combat—wherever and whenever we encounter it.

Despite Crackdowns, White Supremacist and Neo-Nazi Videos Take Stubborn Root on YouTube

The killings in Christchurch are part of an international pattern of attacks on Muslims, which seem to have increased over the past two years. In January 2017, a man entered a mosque in Quebec City and shot and killed six people. He was sentenced to at least 40 years in prison this year. The killer followed white supremacists, conspiracy theorists and right-wing commentators online, and he was fixated on Muslims and immigrants. He was a fan of President Donald Trump and his Muslim ban.

Since 2016, at least three U.S. mosques have been set afire, and at least three other Islamic institutions across the country have targeted for terrorist attacks.

‘White supremacy’ is really about white degeneracy | Keith Kahn-Harris | Opinion | The Guardian

The concept of “white supremacy” is having a moment right now, and understandably so. White resentment, entitlement and bigotry never went away, but it is closer to the political mainstream now than it has been for decades.

The rhetoric of the likes of Donald Trump, Viktor Orbán, Steve Bannon and other figures in the ascendant populist right might not openly embrace “white power”, but there is no doubt that open white racists have been emboldened by them. Trump may have not wanted Richard Spencer (who coined the term “alt right”) to gleefully exclaim: “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory” just after the 2016 US election, but he was not particularly bothered by it either.

Dangerous, growing, yet unnoticed: the rise of America’s white gangs | Society | The Guardian

ALMIGHTY GAYLORDS The Almighty Gaylords are one of the oldest street gangs in Chicago. This card is a particularly heavy version depicting two klansmen preparing to execute a Simon City Royal rabbit – another white gang.

Surveys of young Americans have shown that 40% identifying as gang members are white, but police tend to undercount them at 10% to 14% and overcount black and Hispanic members, says Babe Howell, a criminal law professor at City University of New York who focuses on crime and race.

“Police see groups of young white people as individuals, each responsible for his or her own conduct, and hold young people of color in street gangs criminally liable for the conduct of their peers,” she says.

In the US, white supremacists have infiltrated police and military to get weapons training

 

Former neo-Nazi turned author and deradicalisation expert Christian Picciolini in Nazi garb at the Dachau gate in about 1992.

Christian Picciolini, a 44-year-old, award-winning activist from Chicago who now works to deradicalise racist extremists, says members of his former neo-Nazi gang pursued careers with police departments, joined the military, or ran for political office.

“A lot of these old skinheads and [Ku Klux] Klansmen have gone into the mainstream,” Picciolini told Fairfax Media.
