Is a "Race War" in sight,, in North America?

"...all North Americans need to build genuine communities of love and prosperity - not just African Americans."

Dear friends,

Due to the current tensions being created by the mainstream government- and corporate-controlled media, the idea that there will be more so-called "Race wars" is a false abstraction, because there have never been any here, per se. For example, back in 1921, there was a criminal assault - not a war, by the Tulsa police and many renegade "whites" against African Americans (most of them unarmed). The despicable criminals even found support from the US military. However, that was an assault that African Americans there withstood, ultimately.

Today, things are quite different, because, thanks to the Black Panther Party especially with our fight for "community control of police", there are now many Black cops in this country. Moreover, history is a constantly progressing phenomenon. In fact, it is happening as we engage in dialogue right here. Therefore, history is always evolving. Sometimes similar mistakes are seemingly made. However, we cannot resolve the past, because we cannot duplicate it.

The issue then becomes: Will the fact that there is far more interaction between European Americans and African Americans than even, say, 30 years ago direct us to inform our actions accordingly? I can only imagine that that will be the case.

Finally, all North Americans need to build genuine communities of love and prosperity - not just African Americans. After all, both the lie and mass illusion of being "white" is betrayed every time a European American loses his or her job, or house to foreclosure, or any number of other injustices. The mass illusion of Whiteness just mentioned will be shattered, when folks decide to be honest with themselves and rejoin humanity, as opposed to continuing to estrange themselves from the rest of us due to their bigger guns, so that we can all move against the "organized minority" that rules us all. Cheers!
