Americans can be one nation or many hostile tribes. <\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Canada Free Press<\/strong>, by Daniel Greenfield — August 10, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three years ago, a bloody summer of black nationalist violence claimed the lives of eight police officers with the massacre of five police officers by Micah X. Johnson in Dallas and the murder of three police officers in Baton Rogue by Gavin Long.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson had declared his support for the Black Lives Matter racial nationalist group and told police that he wanted to kill white people, and especially white police officers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the fall, Marc LeQuon Payne tried to run over Phoenix police officers. Next spring, Kori Ali Muhammad went on a shooting spree in Fresno, murdering three white men.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhammad and Long were both part of the Moorish Science Temple black nationalist movement. Muhammad had posted Nation of Islam content which claims that \u201cwhite devils\u201d are subhuman. Long had admired the killing spree by Johnson. Payne had posted that, \u201cthe Caucasian needs to be slaughtered like the pigs that they are right along with the niggas who serve and protect them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long wasn\u2019t alone in viewing Johnson as a black nationalist hero.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former Miss Alabama had described the racial nationalist killer as a \u201cmartyr\u201d. Babu Omowale, a co-founder of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, said, \u201cThe fact that Micah just got five of the bastards, that\u2019s what got you all upset right now.\u201d Yafeuh Balogun, another co-founder of the black nationalist group named after the founder of the Black Panther Patyu, wrote, \u201cHe shall be celebrated one day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the white nationalist shooters of this year have been banished to 8chan, Johnson, Payne and Long were radicalized and posted their rantings on Facebook. The outpouring of support for their acts of violence also took place on Twitter and Facebook with no effort at censorship by the social media sites.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alternating mass shootings by white nationalists and black nationalists predated Trump. They\u2019re part of a cycle of violence going back decades if not generations. The cycle of violence had largely died down until it was triggered by the resurgence of identity politics in the Obama administration.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rise of a new age of identity politics was not a response to injustice, but a cynical political strategy <\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
