During the January 6th hearing held yesterday, July 12th, 2022, it was both refreshing and exceedingly disturbing to see the direct ties between White political and legal authority figures and White extremist groups and their members. It was refreshing because these unconscionable sociopathic displays were put on center stage for the world to see. It was disturbing, because these attitudes and nature consists within many of the legal and political figures who control our halls of power across America, throughout various cities, counties, and states.

By American (White American) academic/educational, economic, institutional standards, these individuals represent the best of the best. They have been and continue to be defined and regarded as “prominent”, “educated”, “reasonable”, “talented”, “successful”, “upstanding”, “strong”, “courageous” people; along with being linked to all other positive associative terms. As I write in my book, inherent within this country is the lack of interrogation into White criminality, White deficiency, White insufficiency, and White mediocrity. And because White people are typically held “less accountable” (if held accountable at all), there is a perpetual freedom to whatever one chooses.

Many Black people (and others from severely and historically marginalized non-White communities) understand the persistent history between White elites, most of whom were extremists and/or fervent and avowed White supremacists (i.e., Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, James Monroe, James Polk, Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Andrew Johnson, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight Eisenhower, Benjamin Tillman, Theodore Bilbo, James, Eastland, Richard Nixon, most of the public officials throughout this nation's history, and the list goes on), and their ideological influences on the total White community, throughout this nation's history. However, the information revealed in the 7th hearing concerning the January 6th coup, was next level. We were able to see, in real time - audio and video - (as with all of the prior hearings), the sociopathic and psychopathic nature of Whiteness. We were able to see and hear the delusional nature of Whiteness on full display. We were able to see the tenets that White culture, and the nature of Whiteness was founded upon. Furthermore, the world was able to see.

We must understand the historical elements that went into creating this cultural nature and mentality. I reveal many examples in my book, and am compelled to share some here:

Casual Killing Act of 1669:

“Whereas the only law in force for the punishment of refractory servants resisting their master, mistress, or overseer cannot be inflicted upon Negroes, nor the obstinacy of many of them be suppressed by other than violent means, be it enacted and declared by this Grand Assembly if any slave resists his master (or other by his master's order correcting him) and by the extremity of the correction should chance to die, that his death shall not be accounted a felony, but the master (or that other person appointed by the master to punish him) be acquitted from molestation, since it cannot be presumed that premeditated malice (which alone makes murder a felony) should induce any man to destroy his own estate.”

Act Preventing Negro Insurrections 1680:

“WHEREAS the frequent meeting of considerable numbers of negroe slaves under pretence of feasts and burialls is judged of dangerous consequence; for prevention whereof for the future, bee it enacted by the kings most excellent majestie by and with the consent of the generall assembly, and it is hereby enacted by the authority aforesaid, that from and after the publication of this law it shall not be lawfull for any negroe or other slave to carry or arme himselfe with any club, staffe, gunn, sword or any other weapon of defence or offence, nor to goe or depart from of his masters ground without a certificate from his master, mistris or overseer, and such permission not to be granted but upon perticuler and necessary occasions;

And every negroe or slave soe offending not haveing a certificate as aforesaid shalbe sent to the next constable, who is hereby enjoyned and required to give the said negroe twenty lashes on his bare back well layd on, and soe sent home to his said master, mistris or overseer.

And it is further enacted by the authority aforesaid that if any negroe or other slave shall presume or lift up his hand in opposition against any christian, shall for every such offence, upon due proofe made thereof by the oath of the party before a magistrate, have and receive thirty lashes on his bare back well laid on.

And it is hereby further enacted by the authority aforesaid that if any negroeor other slave shall absent himself from his masters service and lye hid and lurking in obscure places, comitting injuries to the inhabitants, and shall resist any person or persons that shalby any lawfull authority be imployed to apprehend and take the said negroe, that then in case of such resistance, it shalbe lawfull for such person or persons to kill the said negroe or slave soe lying out and resisting, and that this law be once every sixmonths published at the respective county courts and parish churches within this colony.”

Mississippi Supreme Court 1859:

“The crime of rape does not exist in this State between African Slaves. Our laws recognize no marital status as between slaves, their sexual intercourse is left to be regulated by their owners. The regulations of law, as to the white race, on the subject of sexual intercourse, do not and cannot, for obvious reasons, apply to slaves; their intercourse is promiscuous, and the violation of a female slave by a male slave would be a mere assault and battery.”

America. A country founded upon legalized terrorism through sexual violence (i.e., rape, prostitution, pedophilia, etc.), and other types of violent brutality. As H. Rap Brown stated in the late 60’s, “violence is as American as cherry pie.”

I digresss.

And these are the people who have inherited power, position, and authority in America, primarily due to their membership within the White race. A light must be shined on the very disturbing functionality of Whiteness, White supremacy, White racism, White extremism, and antiblackness.

Psychiatrist Dr. Alvin Poussaint stated in 1971 (later Dean of Psychiatry at Harvard), "White racism is a mental illness." There is overwhelming evidence that proves the truth of this reality.

Please join me for a brief conversation, this afternoon, at 4p.m. Pacific Time (7p.m. EST). This short meeting will provide space for us to debrief and discuss the state of Whiteness and White supremacy in this country. The event will be livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook.

Please feel free to share and invite as many people as possible to this event. Please respond to this invitation if you plan to attend.

I am not sure how many of you are disturbed and/or understand the magnitude of this situation, but we must be aware, if nothing more.

Please join me. See you there!

Dante
