ILANA MERCER<\/strong>: Barack Obama as a devotee of \u201cBlackism.\u201d Explain. Why do you think this president is incapable of empathizing with the untold number of white Americans dead by blacks and Muslims?<\/p>\n

JACK KERWICK<\/strong>: What I call \u201cBlackism\u201d is an ideology, a recipe for achieving racial \u201cauthenticity.\u201d Like any ideology, it is the distillation, the cliff note, of a cultural tradition, the tradition of black Americans. Biological blackness is necessary for authentic \u201cblackness.\u201d It is not, though, sufficient. Blackism is designed for the Barack Obamas of the world, those who are at least partially black biologically but for whom black culture is a foreign language. The ideology is a simple method that, being a method, is comprised of a few principles that need only be affirmed in order to achieve \u201cracial authenticity.\u201d One of these principles is that ultimate reality is comprised of collectivities, primarily racial collectivities. Another principle is that non-whites are perpetually oppressed by whites. It isn\u2019t that Obama or any other Blackist would think to deny that whites (and others) can and have been harmed and killed by blacks and Muslims. It\u2019s only that they must see such violence as stemming from \u201croot causes\u201d\u2014\u201cracism,\u201d a \u201clegacy of slavery and Jim Crow,\u201d \u201cthe Crusades,\u201d \u201cimperialism,\u201d \u201cpoverty,\u201d etc.\u2014that, ultimately, whites should have rectified.<\/p>\n

MERCER<\/strong>: Like me, you are still haunted by the \u201cKnoxville Horror\u201d? Why?<\/p>\n

KERWICK:<\/strong> This real life story is the stuff of nightmares. In 2007, in Tennessee, a young white couple in their early 20s, Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, were carjacked, abducted, raped, tortured, and finally murdered by four black men and a black woman. Newsom was blindfolded, sodomized with an instrument, and shot execution-style. His body was then set on fire.<\/p>\n

According to The Knoxville News Sentinel, \u201cChristian suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus, and mouth. She was not only raped, but savaged with \u2018an object\u2019\u2026She was beaten in the head. Some type of chemical was poured down her throat, and her body, including her bleeding and battered genital area, likely scrubbed by the same solution [.]\u201d \u201cShe was then \u2018hog-tied,\u2019 with curtains and strips of bedding, her face covered tightly with a small white trash bag and her body stashed inside five large trash bags before being placed inside a large trash can and covered with sheets.\u201d The medical examiner concluded that \u201cChristian died slowly, suffocating [.]\u201d Far from being the chronic victims of interracial crime, as the Racism-Industrial-Complex would have us think, blacks are much more likely to be the victimizers: In roughly 90 percent of all attacks involving blacks and whites, the former are the perpetrators. Thankfully, your average black-on-white attack doesn\u2019t involve the savagery of the \u201cKnoxville Horror.\u201d Yet the latter is the textbook illustration of the reality of black-on-white racial violence, as well as the randomness and mercilessness that far too many such attacks do involve. Beyond this, the \u201cKnoxville Horror\u201d is the textbook case of the media\u2019s complicity in the evil of black-on-white violence, for just as it routinely refuses to cover the latter, so the national media refused to cover the ghoulishness in Knoxville.<\/p>\n

MERCER<\/strong>: In \u201cThe American Offensive,\u201d you recount the forgotten, white, race riots of the 1800s. You reach an unexpected conclusion about the founding American people, also a pathologically passive population. What is it?<\/p>\n

KERWICK<\/strong>: Black crime in-general, and black racial mob violence<\/a> specifically, are huge, persistent problems in contemporary American life. Only the most self-delusional and shameless of race propagandists would think to deny this (though even they admit that black criminality is a problem, albeit, to hear them tell it, the result of a larger problem: \u201cwhite racism\u201d). WND’s Colin Flaherty is one courageous journalist who has meticulously, unapologetically, chronicled this phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Given current racial realities, then, it may surprise people to hear that most race riots in this country until well into the early decades of the 20th Century involved white perpetrators and black victims. And they were brutal, making the black perpetrated riots of today look like temper tantrums.<\/p>\n

My point in noting this is not to engage in but another exercise of white guilt-mongering. Rather my point is to remind people that just because whites no longer engage in the type of racial mob violence for which blacks are known today doesn\u2019t mean that history couldn\u2019t repeat itself if circumstances were just right. Since enough violence has a way of provoking more violence, this is something worth bearing in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
