In fact, U.S. policing started in Boston to control poor Irish immigrants; in the South to maintain the slavocracy; and in the Midwest to intimidate Native Americans into a unique form of segregation. The anti-Black, anti-immigr…

…s in the campus protest movement. In the case of civil tights, Vietnam and South Africa, the Left’s “anti-Westernism” was correct. Of course the Left wasn’t really protesting the West, but rather imperialism, injustice, and coloniality.

In the early 1800s they began to be pushed off the land and then were forcibly pushed off the land [even more rapidly] under Andrew Jackson’s presidency. It was the largest forced migration in the continent’s history. Some 80,000 people were forced from their land, and maybe 20% of them died en route to what is now O…

By Erik Love

…ights advocates to even make the simple point that Arab, Muslim, Sikh, and South Asian Americans should not face discrimination. Even as advocates have tirelessly worked to push back against Islamophobia, they have witnessed the constant expansion of deeply harmful anti-immigrant policies and practices, mainly through so-called national security programs. The laws and systems set up in the 1960s to protect communities from racism have not been nea…

Those who will enact Satan’s purposes on Earth are never far away, and even in the most personal of songs, symbols of disturbance straight from the playbook of Southern lore and Scots-Irish ballads abound: I can’t say your name without a crow flying by. Conjurers and tricksters from black Southern lore, and traveling r…
