I’ve mentioned the “Black Hebrew Israelites” before. It is a black supremacist religion no different from, say, the white supremacist “Christian Identity” schmucks, just with reversed color values. They believe that black folks are the *real* Hebrews, and that they are prophesied to eventually take over the world and enslave white people for all eternity. Nice folks. They came to prominence a year and a half ago when they kicked off the Covington Blood Libel. They have had themselves a little rally at Stone Mountain in Georgia. Interestingly, though, the news media has kinda passed on a lot of the details. For instance:
Predominantly Black armed protesters march through Confederate memorial park in Georgia
The article says that the armed protestors came to the park to call for the removal of the statue, and to stand up to white supremacists. But there is a half hour long video of the leader of this group. It’s an interesting watch:
Here he calls not just for the removal of the Stone Mountain carving, but for turning Texas into a black-only ethnostate. He calls for the killing of cops and white people in general. As a thought exercise, reverse the color values and imagine how the press would cover *that.*
He supports people arming themselves and defending themselves. That’s all good and proper, and something that I fully support and suggest that everyone do. But he’s also a religious whackaloon racial supremacist calling for a civil war.
2020 looks like it will continue to be interesting, and 2021 perhaps even more so.
