White Nationalism’s Deep American Roots--By Adam Serwer in The Atlantic--A must read + My Comment
https://www.theatlantic.com/
My Comment: After you read this historical
analysis of race in America, if you read it, stop and think on why our
nation today is having convulsions over race and why our nation has
become, especially on the right, so imbued with hate, cruelty and
violence with laser focus on immigration. There are historical American
roots of reasons for this. Think on the early authors mentioned by
this historian and what they said about Eugenics and the movement of it
that followed. Think then on films like Scorsese's "Gangs of New York"
or D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation" starring Lilian Gish.
