"Why I Hate White People"
And Other Things
Great. Now that I have your attention I want to make it unmistakably clear that I do not hate white people. Hating anyone is destructive to one's well-being.
I do, however, hold a bitter contempt for people who add pineapple to pizza. These people must have not been hugged enough as children so they now find comfort in the embrace of citrusy fruit baked over a perfectly delicious pizza. Strange people. Avoid them.
Now that the title of this post is out of the way let us move on.
Regarding "white hate" and similar socially destructive ideas that have permeated some circles, I must add, that to hate anyone is to hate oneself. One can hate traffic wait times the same way one hates an over-salted well done $120 wagyu steak. Hating the inanimate is possible but not always advisable. Hating people is always discouraged. Hate comes in all shapes and sizes and depending on the reservoir of that hate, we can see the blossoming of something good or the immolation and disintegration of something great.
A person who is often given into hate, whether that hate is directed toward animate beings or inanimate things is more a sign of that person's debilitating character and inner workings than anything else. Hate can and will devastate everything and everyone in its wake. If you are normally given to this sentiment, please consider the time and peace you have lost over your willingness to hold on to something that can and eventually will lead to your emotional disintegration and psychological imprisonment.
Say no to hate, folks.
White Hate
There is a sentiment within non-white communities, not all, but a select few, where very progressive, liberal, or rather Neo-liberal communities where the shared memory that unites them is their disdain for a particular race, namely, the white race. In these circles, white people are derided, shamed in absentia, demonized in literature, dehumanized in open mic soirees, and if given the chance, divested of social influence.
They promote the idea that white people who are baptized into their cadre of moral signaling and virtue signaling circles must find it in themselves to hate the white race, silence white people, shut down white voices, and discredit all things white simply because of the history surrounding Whiteness for the last five hundred years of human history.
You can imagine how problematic this cultic environment is if you are a white individual who, upon entering it, in hopes of bettering the world by joining a racially diverse society, wants nothing more than to advance the ideals of a liberal democracy within a racially integrated community toward the goal of racial and gender equity but are in turn told to sit in the corner or the back of the room where once you voice your opinion, be it right or wrong, you are asked to remain silent for the rest of your stay because white voices have spoken for far too long and your opinions are invalid; your thoughts unneeded. All that is welcome is your idiotized and mute servile white body.
Your voice is not only dismissed but your race is seen as potentially hostile to the environment where you had hoped on finding refuge. You haven't done anything wrong. You are not racist, at least to your general understanding of the term racist. But you can be perceived as a racist individual part of a systemic problem where you are, without question, the beneficiary of white culture. No matter how far removed you become from your immediate racist society, no matter how much you promote racially equitable ideals, and confront racist individuals and policies, you are, irredeemably imprisoned to the image of the white savior, white terror, and white enmity because in this cultic environment you are white and hated.
It is this environment that I am speaking about today. There is centralized white hate within it without cause. Now, by "without cause" I mean the wonderful white people who have not a single prejudiced bone in their body (brave of me, I know) and are willing to do the work and join arms in fighting racism but at the same time are seen as potential saboteurs because of their social class and pigmentation.
I am not referring to white individuals and white systems that are historically and concurrently racist. These people and structures must be condemned from top to bottom if we're ever going to make our world a less racist and more racially equitable place.
If there ever were a situation where reverse racism was at play it is here, where whites are told to sit down, shut up, and listen, not because they don't have anything wonderful, wise, and productive to say, they often do, but because they're white and therefore subject to oppressive tactics as a way to get back at their ancestors, who may or may not have been direct participants or beneficiaries of the devilish racial caste system known as chattel slavery and its deformed afterbirth, Jim Crow.
Hate for white skin is nothing new. I can imagine the first time society became divided and stratified on the concept of race. People began to react negatively toward their oppressors.
I must add that disdain for darker skin was present before the classification of skin tones was even a thing. How does one identify race and then qualify or disqualify that race in society? One writer said that race is the child, not the father, of racism. Therefore, prejudice and discrimination against black and dark skin were present and evident long before Europeans, the Portuguese, initially, set off to the African coasts in search of the best possible "servile peoples" to help build their new empires in distant western colonies.
All in all, one can imagine the reciprocatory hatred tribal Africans must have felt for their white captors who threw them in chains, separated them from their families and homes, and later threw them into ships, by the hundreds, squeezed to the point of asphyxiation, to reach untilled shores to work from sun up to sun down until they died, and their children to follow suit, ad infinitum.
Some of you may be repulsed by the idea of whites alone being responsible for this horrible middle passage era because you might say Blacks were involved in selling their own people long before whites came asking for a stake in the slave trade. One must, with a healthy historical and contextual understanding of the time, capture the fact that the tribal slavery of antiquity was in most cases limited captivity, not always brutal, and focused on the aspect of financial betterment, not necessarily and singularly based on race. One was sold or captured as a slave but not dehumanized. Therefore, upon escape or emancipation, the Black slave would return to his tribe or join the current one as a member of that community.
European slavery sought to initially dehumanize people based on race, subjugate them to a servile class because of their race, profit from their enslavement, and ultimately create a slave class in perpetuity based on race alone. This level of inhumanity was unheard of until the rise of this concept of race and racial classes, introduced by non-other than prominent greed and hate-filled white Europeans of antiquity, made its way onto our annals of time.
Therefore, we can imagine the hate and disdain enslaved Black people —who were dehumanized and then shipped to the Americas, (North, Central, and South) — had for white people, and this with cause. To love one's captor is to be a victim of Stockholm syndrome. The person is merely trying to better the state of their captivity long enough to go without pain and suffering or long enough to escape. Outside of this, the person would never show compassion to men and women who spit on them, beat them, whip them, hang them, and collect the insurance on their dead bodies, for no other reason than the color of their skin.
Fast forward hundreds of years where we are removed from this racially hostile environment, there are still people who look upon white westerners as the exact representation and the reincarnation of their villainous white ancestors. There are people today who cannot look at white westerners without wanting to harm them, assault them, insult them, and disgrace them for no other reason than because they're white.
This is wrong and evil. We are far removed from the environment I mentioned above, from the society I mentioned above, and from the tactics and systems I mentioned above, but there are still people who want to reciprocate harm done to their enslaved ancestors on the descendants of white slavers and white racists.
I speak often about the benefits and necessity of reparations and cultural remedies, but none of these ideas ever involve harm, be it physical or emotional harm to white westerners. The advancement of reparations, remedies, conciliation, and reconciliation involves cultural responsibility and a shift in the way we understand the formation of western history not only from the perspective of the victors but also of those who were conquered; and how that formation continues to shape us today. The return of stolen land, seized property, education denied, liberty robbed, voting rights refused, and life taken before its time, are all things we can work to reverse or prevent, together. None of these involve vigilantism or violence.
White hate without cause, namely, modern anti-white racism, is a nefarious evil we must extinguish from society as soon as humanly possible. The era of white hate with cause is over and has been over, for decades now. Our generation cannot succumb to the same form of vacuous-minded prejudice and discrimination of yesteryear.
These cultic groups I mentioned above will go to lengths to dispel the possibility of reverse racism, namely, minorities exhibiting racist behaviors toward white people, because to them, racism is systemic and systematic alone and to enact racism one needs to have power and authority over society, culture, policies, etc, which, for the most part, minorities lack.
They will never admit that their silencing of white voices, demonizing of white people, disparaging white-owned companies and their creation of second-class thought tanks for the white members of their cultic communities are racist because to them racism is "out there" over "large structures" that work to disenfranchise Blacks and other minorities alone.
Three distinct social and personal aspects prevent certain white people from "seeing" racism and accepting that racism still lingers within the fabric of our society and these are, hyper-individualism, relationalism, and anti-structuralism.
Namely, white people fail to see that the racism found in the policing strategies of a police chief in New York City is no different from the racism found in the policies of another police chief, say, in Los Angeles. They cannot see that the very same form of race hate found in Idaho is also present in Florida. From judges to lawyers to doctors to landlords to ministers and policemen and fighter fighters and real estate agents and insurance brokers. All have a hand, a systemic and systematic hand in disenfranchising people of color. They fail to see the matrix of racial inequality because they swim and have swum in it their entire lives. What prevents them from visualizing this is the modern western trifecta which starts with hyperfunctioning individualism, meaning, that whatever happens to you is always a direct result of your decisions.
Within this framework, the potato farmer who has no potatoes to feed his family is hungry and poor not because of environmental crises, national mismanagement of agricultural funds, greed on the part of lending firms, and other multi-national disadvantageous decisions made above him and his family, but, that he is hungry as a result of him not planting enough potatoes. Never, within this individualistic framework, will the blame for wrong(s) be disseminated to a broader system of wrongdoing. It's always a person's fault. Therefore, racism is limited to you and your neighbor. It will never rise above that ceiling.
Next is relationalism, namely, white people believe that if a senile white lady in the grocery store called the Black clerk a racially charged term, then, of course, the Black clerk must've done something to deserve or welcome such ire. Racism isn't systemic or broad, it's only a relational issue. Resolve the interrelation issue in the grocery store and racism is gone. Problem solved.
Lastly, anti-structuralism. By this, white people who suffer from racial myopia, tend to be hostile to the possibility that there are structures at play that give them an advantage in life. Therefore, they become anti-structural.
Imagine a soccer game where the referee is paid to defer toward the "white team" and penalize the "black team." Questionable goals made by the white team are upheld whereas legal goals made by the black team are called back as illegally acquired points. Once the second half starts, the referee is asked to stop favoring one team over the other, the bribery is then considered illegal, and the teams are now set off to continue the game. The only problem is that the scores have not been equalized for the second half of the game. The white team is still up by several points, the black team still has zero, and the referee's nefarious tactics are outlawed but the game goes on without an adjustment or correction of scores. The white team eventually wins what they consider a fair game and refuse to admit their advantage in the second half of the game, saying the black team just failed to play as hard as they should have to win the game.
Anti-structuralists will always dismiss structural problems because for them to admit the existence of these structures they would then have to admit the structural problems they either benefit from or structures they use to exploit others. Therefore to admit the reality of structural racism is nearly inconceivable a feat for these types.
That is the problem within the white community that refuses to confront systemic racism.
The BIPOC community, however, understands systemic racism and its broader effects on minority communities, but it struggles, in some parts, to accept the reality of interpersonal racism, namely that which we have seen in these hyper-progressive circles against white people.
I wouldn't argue that this myopic understanding of interpersonal racism in the Black community is something inherent within it but more so a coping mechanism used to deal with the lapse of racial justice in the world today. This means I don't believe Black people and minorities who refuse to accept the reality of interpersonal racism are failing to see it as a result of systemic, multi-generational ills but as a way to deal with the reality of wanting to equalize the playing field and scores expeditiously, through unethical means, without dealing with the guilt associated with their prejudice and discriminatory tactics.
Anti-white racism is real and it must stop.
This is not to say that we must stop fighting white supremacy. White supremacy or Whiteness, the racialized concept of white superiority for no other reason than being "white" to them, means "better" or "pure" must be destroyed once and for all.
Same Devil. Different Foot.
I cannot emphasize this enough: if you promote racial equity while disparaging white people you are no different from white slave drivers, Klansmen, or white race rioters of old. You are simply revisiting the racism of old on an unassuming and innocent body politic whilst denying the fact that you are racist. you are promoting, with or without knowing, the dehumanization of the white members of your community.
Stop it.
Racism is evil. It is hellish. It is wrong. It hides under covert tactics, it mocks with overt tactics, it creates nefarious policies, it denounces the equality between us, and it robs everyone, victims and perpetrators, of their peace, humanity, and life.
One is not alive when they are consumed by hate.
Therefore, if you are within a group or community that is fairly aware, fairly woke, and seeking to lead our society out of a racist past and present, while promoting, in policy or act, the disenfranchisement, harassment, and humiliation of white people, please, for the sake of your wellbeing and the wellbeing of society proper, stop it and exit stage left.
These communities thrive on bitterness and you will not survive there. Even minorities within those environments are unsafe. Eventually, that hate for white people is turned toward hate for black people or other minority representatives who fail to exude the same level of hatred toward white skin.
If your right of passage and ticket to the echelon of racial elites is the hate of someone then you must reconsider your membership in that party.
Word of Caution
Black Radicals
You are working against the cause. Being historically informed, socially conscious, and a rising voice in an age of reversal of powers makes you much more responsible for your methods and tactics. Silencing white people just because they're white is the most backward method of advancing this cause you could ever have come up with.
King would have denounced your hatred, however hidden it may seem to you, it is evident to us. X would have denounced your isolationism and fundamentalism in his later days.
Our ancestors would have died for the luxury of having your platform to share their humanity, their love, and their altruistic nature contrasted with that of their devilish white neighbors just to remind the world that Black people and minorities are human beings worthy of the same liberal ideals as their white counterparts. That Black people are not hostile, brainless, hate-filled, and uncontrolled beasts who would bite their masters once
turned loose.
Do not become what they thought you would. Be that which you were meant to be: human.
But here you are behaving like animals. Like the white terrorists of yesteryear, albeit, to a lesser degree. Without torches, hoods, and policy-making power, you still dismiss, demonize, mock, deride, laugh, and silence those who are innocent of any wrongdoing because you are hurt and your hurt forces you to not only fear but also hate the people you are meant to live and work with.
Your hate will consume you.
We will not advance toward a racially equitable society in part because of white racists in power and of minority radicals who, like yourselves, love to "other" and ostracize white people willing to be part of the solution.
Thankfully, it is not too late to turn the tides, the ship yet floats, and the holes in the hull are sealable. Hate is not learned overnight and it is not done away with overnight either, therefore, start loving your white neighbors today.
White Liberals
Please, for the love of God, stop trying to burn everything down. Iconoclasm leads to the destruction of the very structures we stand on today. With that said, please, when it comes to fighting racism do not join arms with entities or people who hate you. Yes, they hate you and want you to live within the outer ring of their coterie of social capital and power. Your only saving grace is gnostic progression, meaning, you will only fall into their better graces by learning more, acquiring more information, joining more and more inner rings of acceptance, and never truly attaining freedom from a racist caste system because there is no attainable release of guilt from white sins. In truth, in this system, you are never free and once you fail or falter, even once, you will be the victim of their auto de fe. You are the easiest scapegoat in their world. Not the Klansman hiding as a police officer, but you, because you hold all of that information, be it entry-level information or inner circle private and deep information, and you have betrayed the ways of the devil, namely, the leaders of a racist minority society.
Leave and do better elsewhere.
White Conservatives
Systemic racism is real and just because we don't see men like Martin Luther King Jr. getting shot or Black women like Rosa Parks getting arrested for not giving her seat up on a segregated bus, does not mean that racism, in its most lasting and nefarious state, systemic racism, is gone.
Invest in multi-racial relationships. Sit and interact, converse, not to indoctrinate on things you know little about but sit together with people and listen to their experiences. Follow the trail of tears to realize that it's not just one isolated story but the story of minorities as a whole in the west. Things have progressed but racism has yet to be challenged and excised from our society. You can be a part of that process. The future demands your participation in the expulsion of racism. You are not devoid of responsibility nor should you find refuge in ignorance.
With that in mind, do not believe that everyone calling for racial equity is a hate-filled anti-whites racist. The grievances are real, the history is real and horrible, and the equalization of society is still in its nascent stages. And the fight for racial equity faces a lot of hostility from white people who are closeted racists.
Confront your racist friends and family members. Do not allow the relationship between you and them to become an impediment to progress.
Hate pineapple on pizza and love your white brothers and sisters; even the ones who fail to love you back.
"We underestimate the power of looking to our greatest enemies. We forget that they are like us more than they are unlike us and that if we can learn to see ourselves in their eyes, to bridge the gap between 'us' and 'them, ' tremendous healing and peace can be found. Never has there been a time in history where this message is more needed, and JR. tackles the subject with creativity, wisdom, and grace.

What If: Reimagining Race Relations After the American Civil War
Misplaced Hope
Allow me to be your cicerone through this brief work of my imagination. I want to carry my reader through a myth, a would-be scenario in which postbellum America would reunite as a nation and as a people, devoid of the racial caste that existed before this war and the terror-induced one that subsisted for almost one hundred and ten years after it.
Towards the end of the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln had declared victory over the Confederate States of America, reducing the pro-slavery aristocracy to a shadow of its former glory. What was to be an enduring kingdom, built, established, and idolized into the future on the economic structure of slavery came to a screeching halt at the request of international powers, national abolitionists, and a bloody five-year Civil War. And, after some 750,000 Americans laid their lives down on the battlefields of the Northern States and the Southern States, some, for the perpetuity of slavery and others for its annihilation, on April 9, 1865, Confederate generals and government officials unconditionally surrendered their forces to the reigning Union army of the North. Some three and a half million souls, previously bound to chains, whips, and the horrors of chattel slavery were now emancipated from their former restraints and imbued with a sense of freedom. Shortly after this, literally, days later, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by a recalcitrant Southern stage actor named John Wilkes Booth.
It was in this atmosphere, in this era that America had the opportunity to settle its debt to the African American people they had deracinated from the western African plains to till their lands, under the threat of whip and terror, for the enrichment of the new American colony now known as the United States of America. It is here, at the end of the American Civil War where we could have experienced the pinnacle of American race relations but are then presented with the spawn of a new American empire then known as the Age of White Terror.
Former Confederate soldiers were now home from the war, their efforts turned futile, and their former slaves — their property — now roamed the streets in search of work. Not the work of yesteryear where their toils merited them nothing but the kind of work they would get paid for. The disgrace and shame of loss beamed brightly on every white Southern face. Valiant Southern men previously vested with bravado and religious fanaticism now stood and gazed at the consequence of their failures. Their formerly wealthy white communities now lay tarnished by the ubiquitous presence of colored freedmen and freedwomen and the disdained presence of federal soldiers roaming the streets, defending these free people. It was too much to bear for these former rebels. These soldiers, under the guise of night, hood, and culture, dressed with the blood of newly freed African Americans to regain their sense of pride and communal endurance, terrorized every Black American soul, to return them not to bondage but a living hell on earth for having brought so much shame to this proud and undying American South. If Black Americans would not live under the demoralizing institution of slavery they would have to live under the fiendish reality of white terror, and so it was for the next one hundred and ten years. The false zenith of race relations became the nadir of its potential, accomplishing only the resurgence of a malignant tumor on the American plains, White Supremacy.
For a short and forgotten twelve years after the American Civil War, Black Americans experienced what is now understood as the Reconstruction era where, from 1865 to 1877, they thrived in attaining freedom from bondage, freedom to become citizens, and the freedom to vote. (Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments). There was a spike in Black representation in American politics, and in one instance, America had voted into power some two thousand Black men to represent the interests of all Americans.
This period, however hopefully and revolutionary for the Americas was short-lived as the result of the aforementioned reign of terror reduced every gain Black Americans have accomplished and then pulverized every bridge of hope they had fought to build, all in the same of White Rule. Former Confederate soldiers made sure to overturn elections where Black or Reconstruction favoring candidates had won, often doing this by killing them, their voters, or anyone who dared get close enough to a voting booth to vote for them. They lynched Black Americans in broad daylight under the banner of the White League — militant former Confederate soldiers who refused to hide their faces when terrorizing Black Americans. They raided Black communities at night under the cloak of the Ku Klux Klan. And in Louisiana, they formed white supremacist secret societies to overwhelm their racially integrated opponents in every facet of government by forming and perfecting their rites and methods in groups such as the Knights of the White Camelia. Formerly known as the Knights of the Golden Circle, antebellum.
Republican President Rutherford B. Hayes won the seat of power in the mid-to-late 1870s with the help of some Southern Democrats who expected a compromise in return: the removal of federal troops from the South. Once this request was honored, Southern aristocracy was once again at the pinnacle of society, now wielding its sword of terror with impunity and the newly discovered cultural claim of "Home Rule" bestowing white Americans with unimaginable power and authority.
Reconstruction had survived a short and troubled life, succumbing to the Redemption era of the American South as whites regained every seat of power back from Radical Republicans, Reconstructionists, and Black Americans.
What was meant to become the zenith of American race relations became, instead, its nadir.
But, I ask myself, I beg the question in my head all the time: what if race relations postbellum had gone a different route? What if Southern white Americans had instead joined the Reconstruction philosophy and spawned a revolution so benevolent that America would have become the world's greatest superpower from April 9, 1865, to date?
What if the United States of America, at the end of its grotesque civil war, had then fused itself back into a country with a battlecry against racism? Mind you, most abolitionist Americans in the North, Abraham Lincoln included, wanted slavery to end but wanted nothing to do with Black Americans. As much as they disdained the nefarious institution of chattel slavery, they could muster the courage nor the compassion to see Black Americans as fellow human beings, equals, deserving of brotherly love and intermingling. Northern white Americans for a great deal of time fought conscription mandates to join the Civil War, resisting the government's demands that they participate in liberating Black Americans from the chains of slavery. In some cases, they rioted and killed Black Americans where they could find them in a show of force, elucidating the fact that whites should not be called upon to die for Blacks.
The horrors of Southern slavery were evident and most Northern whites wanted nothing more than to bring it to an end, but their distrust of newly freed Black Americans, their loathing of these newly enfranchised citizens, and their hatred of all things Black was only now coming to the limelight with a flare.
But no one declared a war on racism. Perhaps the term was unheard of, perhaps the understanding of it was somewhat blurry to them then. But everyone was aware of the caste system Americans had created to not only perpetuate slavery in the former empire and its prolonged disenfranchisement of Black Americans in the new one. For white supremacy to exist and subsist, for this parasite to thrive, it needed a host, it needed a sub-class, a lesser race to exist and they created it in people of darker skin.
So even if the terminology was ahead of its time, the philosophy was ubiquitous, so much so that perhaps they might've missed it the way we miss the rays of the sun even while we receive its heat. My attempt isn't to promote historical presentism, holding historical characters responsible for modern problems. Far from it. I want to hold them accountable for what they already knew and in that knowledge, persisted, protected, and promoted.
Again, what if Americans had declared war on racism or declared war on prejudice and discrimination the same way recent American leaders had declared their misguided war on drugs or terror, we might have avoided one hundred and some odd years of white terror and black disenfranchisement. I can almost certainly confirm that had Americans dealt with racism right after the Civil War there might never have been a war on drugs — which disproportionately targeted and still targets Black Americans — and a war on terror — which disproportionality and dishonestly targets brown people and Muslims.
You see, racism, as we understand it today, is what founded the western world. Other societies were formed on imperialism, usually subjugating the surviving masses of their conquered peoples to slavery or bonded yet limited servitude, independent of their sex or race. But western civilization capitalized on the concept of race and the meaning thereof as they conquered new and unexpectedly and unsurprisingly occupied lands to the west. And since then, since the devilish concept of "white equals good, privileged, blessed, free, and intelligent," and colored equals "rebellious, subjugate, workforce, vacuous, and lesser than," society has struggled to tackle it because those who thrived within it saw little to no benefit in confronting it, nevertheless dismantling this exploitative system. So much so that even today when Americans attempt to discuss race and its ramifications, many white Americans see the discussion as an assault on the very fabric of their mythical history, namely the history that American founders were heroes and not land-hungry despots who fought tyranny on one hand to then create a more fiendish version of it for others.
Certain people fail to see the looming and lasting effects this race-based caste system has had over American society from inception to date because to see it would mean to see themselves as the children of raiders, land-grabbers, enslavers, and mass killers. These terms, these identifiers, however horrific are easily dismissed as evils of antecedents committed in the past, therefore they have no bearing on our current circumstances. But to confront racism, well, racism is still very much with us and it is the catalyst for the many sins of their ancestors. Therefore the mention of it, the mere connotation of the ramifications of the persistence and virulence of racism is difficult to denounce considering just how ingrained it is in many of our unseen but felt traditions and realities in the 21st century.
Therefore, I ask, time and again, what if there had been a war declared on interpersonal discrimination and systemic government-inspired and protected, de jure race-based discrimination shortly after the Civil War?
What if former confederate soldiers, upon returning home to their dilapidated cities and towns, destroyed by abandonment on one hand and the war on the other, joined forces with newly freedmen and women, to rebuild their society under the banner of friendship and reconciliation? What if Southern aristocrats opted instead to lead the South out of ridicule with the help and leadership of newly freed Black Americans?
Did you know that freedmen were forced into contractual work that paid them very little and anyone caught wandering the streets without a work contract was arrested, beat, fined, and then forced into manual labor for private and state-owned jails? This is the ignoble system called the convict-leasing gulag of the United States of America.
So what if former slavers had opened their hearts, understanding the cruelty of their former way of life, and then changed from it, in the service of fellow human beings. Implanting their new neighbors in their communities, affording them homes and land, tools, animals to work the land, and privileges they were afforded by their local governments before the war. Enfranchisement for all is a step in the right direction. Thinking otherwise is the cruel and selfish neologism known as the racial zero-sum model which states that if a Black man advances in life, in the social sphere, in the battle for Civil Rights, then it must be at the expense of a white man.
It was here that Americans had the perfect opportunity to form and live out the Constitution their predecessors spoke so passionately about and fought so vehemently for in their revolutionary war against the tyrannical British empire. They had seceded from the English, in turn, to build a bastion of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for white land owners only to enslave millions of souls within the same stroke of a quill. Here they had the chance to right the wrongs of previous generations, leading the nation onward to the right path, without the need or consequence of innocent blood painting their city streets. White Americans had the right opportunity to end their racial caste, rising like the beast of Babylon in 1619 and with the possibility of dying a thousand deaths in 1776. Unfortunately, this dream was inconceivable for many, save for the likes of Americans like Benjamin Bennaker who resisted and scowled with righteous invective against the hypocrisy of the United States Constitution which afford liberty for whites and perpetual slaves based on jus sanguinis (by bloodline).
Can you imagine what America would look like today had more and more racially integrated political spheres painted the American deltas, mountains, coastal towns, and capital city? What it would look like today if Black Americans had been afforded the same and equal rights to land ownership wherever they so please? If black, white, yellow, and brown children had been granted the right to study and play together without fault or fear? If they had been able to walk into the same businesses, restaurants, venues, bars, jazz clubs, and churches, seated one beside the other, hand in hand, arm in arm without posted signage condemning such innocent practices?
Granted.
We understand that none of these would have made much of a difference if white supremacy had not been challenged and destroyed, to begin with. White supremacy in a world where equal rights are afforded to all is a world that is only moments, a few skirmishes, a few election cycles, and one more civil war away from returning to its recently deceased but still very much present forefather, White Terror.
The Ku Klux Klan has since slithered into the shadows to survive modernity but in its place, we now have the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Patriot Front, MAGA's (Donald Trump loyalists), neo-confederate, white nationalist, neo-nazi, constitutional sheriffs, and other equally if not more dangerous white supremacist entities bent on restoring or rather "redeeming" white rule in America.
The more racially and culturally diverse America becomes the more violent these extremist groups become. One must wonder if terming them as "extreme" is appropriate considering just how normal white terror is throughout American history toward non-whites.
So, even if Black and white Americans had united under their Constitution after the war, avoiding the all-too problematic "separate but equal" Jim Crow culture that pervaded American life — its effect was so effective that the Nazis took note and used it in their anti-semitic Nuremberg Laws — America would still be crippled by its racial caste system.
Even if banks, land and community developers, and the Federal Housing Association had granted Black Americans the right to purchase land wherever they wanted and if the Veterans Association had provided Black American veterans their much deserved G.I Bill through which to purchase property, if racism was left unchallenged we'd all revert to the same caste system eventually.
I just want to know, I beg to know, I have a burning desire to know what would have happened if America had fought off the cause of its many woes, its many embarrassments, the devilish poison of racism at the end of the Civil War?
Where would we be today, as a people, as a nation — I speak as someone who spent eighteen years of his life in America, in the American Deep South — if we had confronted the Judas Iscariot of this nation, which sold her glory for the lives of some four to thirteen million Black souls. And I'm not even counting the losses in the Native American, Mexican American, Creole American, and Chinese American communities.
I believe I'm revising things in my head and imagining them at the same time, that had Americans challenged their racial caste system then, shortly before or shortly after Abraham Lincoln's assassination, we'd never have heard of Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. du Bois, Fannie Lou Hamer, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Emmitt Till, Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Huey P. Newton, the AME nine, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and more.
We'd never have seen pictures of men clad in white robes and hoods, handling torches, with Black bodies swinging from trees not far behind, crowds of white faces elated at the scapegoat swaying to and fro for their communal purification. We'd never have heard of federal government incentives to divest Black communities of resources, funnel drugs into them to finance American wars abroad, or its push to segregate communities with the construction of highways, barring Black Americans from moving into pristine and cushy suburbs with heinous "one drop" housing rules.
We'd never have heard of Black Lives Matter because there'd be no need for such a movement.
We'd never have heard of the reactionary Blue Lives Matter either because our police forces would have long been integrated and more willing to confront their prejudices early on, in an attempt to humanize the people they arrest, men and women worthy of due process and free from harassment and unlawful searches and seizures.
We'd never have to see section eight housing, ripe with police presence even in the face and evidence of reduced crime rates in the same areas.
There would be no section eight housing, and even if there had been, it would have been racially diverse, with people of all stripes and races, being provided for, as things should be.
What if we began to challenge racism today? We understand it for what it was and for what it is but will we pass this burden along to yet another generation? Will we permit white supremacy to live and thrive in the shadows before it rises, resurgent and boastful, under yet another banner, taking the lives of Black innocents through bombings, mass shootings, and bulldozing protestors with cars? "Klansman" sounds outdated but "president" seems fitting, these days. How long will we trouble ourselves with the blessings of the land whilst negating the horrors of the people who took it? Sure, they're all dead but their theft, its magnanimity lives on, giving to the descendants of thieves the gifts of pride, land, wealth, and influence, and giving, in equal parts, to the descendants of colored people, horror, shame, poverty, and blame.
So who will confront that which our ancestors, or rather, your ancestors (white readers) failed to confront? Black Americans have fought (not violently, until recently) to regain their humanity, their Constitutional rights, and their human rights, from the genesis of this nation but their fellow white Americans have only fought, and this is recent, for the end of a symptom of racism, not its cause.
Religionists, especially those of my persuasion, namely, Christians, white ones at that, will petition we only leave this battle of hate and disdain, to the work of Christ. This, too, is an excuse. Refrain from engaging religionists who think only of heaven whilst their fellow countrymen starve here on earth. Jesus, the God whom they claim to follow, would not approve of their methods.
But you, my reader, in this time, will you challenge the poison of racial supremacy? Had things been the other way around, and depending on how our secular culture deals with power once racial dynamics shift and colored people become the majority, should there be, then, a situation where colored people begin to dehumanize and discriminate against white people because they are white, instituting a caste system in the image of their former white countrymen to now subjugate them in reciprocity, I will — should I live long enough to see the day — condemn it to hell.
Any caste system, whether it thrives off of the exploitation of some group or another based on religion, nationality, race, sex, gender, class, income, or pizza topping, your choice, should be condemned to hell and before it reaches that fiery pit it ought to be confronted and shamed while it cowers under our combined efforts to exorcise it from our world.
But these things will exist, they will thrive, and they will fester in the shadows as long as we allow them to.
When will we finally put an end to white supremacy? A flaming dagger in its heart? It will not be when all white people cease to exist. They won't, mind you. I pray they do not. I would love for them to be around and to thrive in a world where they no longer carry the burden of false superiority. It's a burden no one ought to carry and they have done so, for hundreds of years, to their own demise.
White supremacy must die for us to live. We cannot, we will not allow another generation to go by as this evil in the psyche, the heart, and systems, to live, move, and have its being to dehumanize, desecrate, and destroy lives for yet another one hundred-odd years.
That America I keep thinking about, daydreaming about, where Black and white Americans, Americans of all stripes, thrive and live and enjoy, is still very much attainable.
"When" it comes to fruition, however, depends on us.
"Stony the Road presents a bracing alternative to Trump-era white nationalism. . . . In our current politics we recognize African-American history—the spot under our country's rug where the terrorism and injustices of white supremacy are habitually swept. Stony the Road lifts the rug. . . . essential . . . a history that very much needs telling and hearing in these times." —Nell Irvin Painter, New York Times Book Review

It is February 28 and we are at the end of Black History Month. Tomorrow, we return to the ouroboros of white history and I would advise my friends and acquaintances to be cognizant of that much. Eleven months out of the year is what we spend celebrating the inconspicuous and ubiquitous nature of whiteness in culture, history, and our social formation.
Your awareness of that is, in and of itself, already a step toward ending racial supremacy, namely, white supremacy in the world. Let us not turn a blind eye to color-blind racism nor the prevalence of Whiteness (capital W) attempting to control who our heroes are and who our villains were, well knowing that the line between hero and villain wavers between triumph and defeat.
The only reason we consider our historical heroes, namely, our founding fathers as heroes, is because they won a war, not a single war or battle, not a named war that took place in one particular location. No. They won a race war when crossing the Atlantic, a war won for the thirteen colonies; a war won over the indigenous people of the land; a war won over competing imperial malefactors seeking gold, land, and prosperity; a war won over religious and denominational exclusivity; and lastly, and most lasting, a war won over racial superiority.
We risk a great deal of disservice to our fellow countrymen, namely, those of color who have lingered and toiled under oppression and terror in a land of democracy, freedom, and liberty, if we did not share their side of the story in American history, not just on February, but every month of the year. It was on their backs that the foundation of the nation was laid. It was their work that built the White House, the United States Capitol, Southern aristocracy, and Northern fiscal flexibility and international influence.
Black Americans have fought in every single war America has dipped its feet into, from the Revolutionary War to the recent war against terror. Black bodies have often spilled blood for a nation that saw them as either property or criminals. A uniform and service serving for little more than an opportunity to get away from slavery on the field or terror at home. Neither granting them resolute equality.
Black bodies built this nation and Black bodies are buried under it, usually, in unmarked graves.
America has a responsibility to its historically most industrious workforce, who, at the multiple chances for insurrection, violence, overthrow, insurgency, mutiny, genocide, and mass killings, seldom acted upon these liberating actions; actions they learned from white American founding fathers. The select few uprisings that did take place were suppressed with utmost prejudice and the ensuring collateral damage wiping out scores of innocent bystanders and honest family men, women, and children.
Black uprisings were seen as Black uprisings, not as revolutionary acts working toward freedom.
It is this same group of people who, under continuous assault, defamation, decimation, exploitation, humiliation, and insurmountable dehumanization, fought for their liberty, freedom, equity, and for a piece of that Constitutional pie and liberal American ideals with intellectual prowess, industriousness, humility, faith, and humanity for equal footing and equal rights.
No group is owed more than Black Americans because no other group has endured more ostracism from white Europeans, white Americans, indigenous groups who were forced to hate Black skin, Latin Americans, Irish, Dutch, French, and Italian immigrants who assimilated to the American way of life by their shared disdain of Black skin, and lastly, under manipulation and brainwashing (whitewashing) Black people who were taught to hate their Blackness.
Reparations are still in the talks and I hope that descendants of slaves and descendants of people who were displaced, robbed of work and income, refused housing opportunities via the G.I. Bill, terrorized by white neighbors when they moved westward or north from the Deep South, and murdered by white locals before and after the Civil War, before and after World War I, before and after World War II, before and after the Vietnam War, before and after Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.s' assassination, before and after Rodney King's filmed torture at the hands of police officers, before and after those same officers were acquitted, before and after the innumerable police brutality cases, before and after the innumerable and unlawful and unnecessary killings of Black Americans on American soil at the hands of police officers.
There is a debt over America today that will not be paid, it cannot be paid in gold, diamonds, or dollars. Hell. Bitcoin, at its zenith, won't cut it either.
But Americans will work toward this debts extinction, more so white Americans will work to reduce this debt by becoming aware of white history and its legacy on American identity. Once there, once aware, eyes opened, soul quickened, and empathy amplified, will we see endemic and systemic cultural changes that will allow us to elevate American heroes who stood for the freedom of all Americans; not just the ones who stood for the betterment of white Americans.
We will see statues of tyrants and monsters relocated to museums, where they belong, and in books, where we will learn about them. Their memory is ever real and ever-present in our conscience, however, far from the public eye.
We know much about a nation by the statues it chooses to erect and which it chooses to relocate or demolish.
And rest assured, iconoclasm isn't the goal, moving forward. Iconoclasts are often replaced by younger enthusiasts with the same goals. But we shouldn't reduce ourselves to our current state of iconophilia, favoring people who were more monsters than they were human. Their presence, their monuments, their obelisks are a reminder that we refuse to confront them for what they were, what they are, and what they signal to those who seek to destroy the fabric of a diverse and integral American society.
Once this cultural awakening and transformation are enacted, we will see statues of enslavers and treacherous rebels eradicated from the public eye and replaced by statues of true American heroes like King, Truth, Garrison, Turner, Douglass, X, Morrison, Tubman, Bennaker, Cone, Bell, B.T. Washington, du Bois, and more.
And not that American history and cultural understanding ought to be Black majoritarian in effect but that it portrays American ideals and American resilience in the face of unimaginable tyranny and despair, conquering not through the violence and savagery their white American counterparts used to expand westward on land and upward in wealth but through bravery, fortitude, love, kindness, and faith.
We can learn more about what it means to be an American when we better understand what it feels like to be a Black American.
I will share a snippet of a story written by the now infamous but truly magnanimous lawyer, clergyman, spiritual, author, and inventor of the often misunderstood Critical Race Theory, professor Derrick Bell.
He penned a short story called Space Traders. Very few people know about this story because its thesis is triggering to a white American audience, and I believe this trigger was intentional on the part of professor Bell when he wrote it.
In Space Traders, a super-advanced alien society descends from space and graces the shores of America with their intergalactic ships, with all sorts of treasures, technological advancements, and benevolent gifts they intend on bestowing on planet Earth through America.
The catch, however, is that the alien race wants every single African American in trade for the goods. White Americans then rush to question the ethical and moral implications of this trade, on whether it is good, bad, questionable, etc. Here is a part of that same story.
"Those mammoth vessels carried within their holds treasure of which the United States was in most desperate need: gold, to bail out the almost bankrupt federal, state, and local governments; special chemicals capable of unpolluting the environment, which was becoming daily more toxic, and restoring it to the pristine state it had been before Western explorers set foot on it; and a totally safe nuclear engine and fuel, to relieve the nation's all-but-depleted supply of fossil fuel. In return, the visitors wanted only one thing – and that was to take back to their home star all the African Americans who lived in the United States.
The jaw of every one of the welcoming officials dropped, not a word of the many speeches they had prepared suitable for the occasion. As the Americans stood in stupefied silence, the visitors' leader emphasized that the proposed trade was for the Americans freely to accept or not, that no force would be used. Neither then nor subsequently did the leader or any other of the visitors, whom anchorpersons on that evening's news shows immediately labeled the "Space Traders," reveal why they wanted only black people or what plans they had for them should the United States be prepared to part with that or any other group of its citizens. The leader only reiterated to his still-dumbfounded audience that, in exchange for the treasure they had brought, they wanted to take away every American categorized as black on birth certificate or other official identification. The Space Traders said they would wait sixteen days for a response to their offer."
In eventuality, white Americans opted to trade their fellow Black citizens for that treasure trove of wealth and stability. They voted against their countrymen of color, favoring financial stability over moral and ethical integrity in the face of tremendous woes.
America, or rather, white America, has a history of and current deference for, and this is cultural, societal, and systemic, a continual willingness to throw Black Americans to the curb to accomplish national and international goals that benefit elite white Americans.
And if posited with an opportunity where Black Americans are granted not only access to financial means by which to accomplish not only social but also financial equity with white Americans, the same white Americans in positions of political, financial, and social power will sooner shipwreck America as a whole than see the day in which all racial groups in the country are, by intent and desire, equal.
Black History Month is not a steeple of pride. It is a reminder of sin. A corporate and national sin that allowed for Whiteness to burden Caucasians with the fallacy of racial superiority and minorities with the burden of supposed racial inferiority.
One day, I pray, our children will celebrate American history and what will come to their mind, involuntarily so, will be an array of colored faces, hand in hand, combating white supremacy in all of its spheres.
Off to white history month(s) we go…
"Marsden elegantly synthesizes theological, social, cultural, and intellectual history to elucidate the roots and development of Christian fundamentalism…. An almost impossibly rich work…. This is the one book every American who wants to understand fundamentalism should read. It's also among the best assessments of the cultural transformations that convulsed American from the late nineteenth century to the years immediately following the First World War (transformations this country is still assimilating) and, in its masterly new chapter, of the peculiar and far-from-inevitable political turn that fundamentalism has taken since the 1970s." — Atlantic Monthly

We must take note of America's unique ability to develop populist demagogues — at the rate in which it does — whose condescending vitriol always finds fertile ground through which to germinate and yield nationally catastrophic results.
Donald J. Trump and Trumpism are not unique to the American narrative. In fact, Trump's archetypical strategy of demonizing opponents and outsiders is the natural and prescribed method by which nativist populists and proponents of Americanism launch their campaigns.
In the 1840s, Lewis Charles Levin, an American politician, native of Pennsylvania, would instigate a thunderous race riot in Philadelphia against immigrants, primarily Irish immigrants and Catholics. You see, Levin disdained the idea of Romanism disrupting the theo-political control of protestant America. So much so that on one particular day, he built himself a makeshift soapbox and began channeling his hate from that mini-platform. His vitriol animated Philadelphia regulars to the point of violence. The riot that ensued, the violence and destruction of property, that of Irish immigrants, Catholics, and Black Americans, were all Levin's fault. This riot, and his rhetoric, launched his political career even further and on that point, namely, hatred of immigrants and Catholics, he started the Know-Nothing Party; a violent anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic political party. The Know-Nothing Party (they called themselves this because every time they were apprehended by the police for rioting and pillaging, they were asked what political party they belonged to, to which they would say, "I don't know nothing.") The Know-Nothing gang and sentiment would spread from Philadelphia to Ohio, New York, Maryland, and even California. Instigating violence against immigrants wherever they went, blaming "outsiders" for economic woes, immorality, pestilence, and the devaluation of American ideals. Shortly before the start of the American Civil War, Levin was institutionalized and died of "insanity."
And in the 1870s, another demagogue named Denis Kearny, an Irish immigrant who settled in San Francisco, California, would also instigate violence against Chinese immigrants and laborers by blaming them for the city and the state's financial ruination. In fact, Kearny's Kearnyism launched a wave of riots in San Francisco that led to the death of many Chinese immigrants and the destruction of San Francisco's wharf and Chinatown; and its wealth with it. Kearny would later launch a local political movement called the Workingmen's Party of California, later known as the Socialist Labor Party.
In the 1950s and 1960s, America would again be sabotaged by the likes of Joseph McCarthy, a Republican U.S. Senator, and George Wallace, former governor of Alabama, a Democrat. These two men elevated their political platforms, one, by demonizing anyone who affiliated themselves with Communist Russia. McCarthy's McCarthyism would be the advent of the Red Scare, a series of witch-hunts that found Americans usually under surveillance, at times by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, for minor offenses, like, disagreeing with McCarthy's tactics or disagreeing with segregationist views. McCarthyism would fan the flames of the FBI's unlawful surveillance of American citizens, namely, Civil Rights activists, most notably, its incessant obsession and surveillance of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. McCarthy's nationalistic fanaticism would pit police and federal forces against non-violent Black Liberation movements as well.
George Wallace's staunch segregationist vitriol would solidify him as a savor of White Rule for Southern Jim Crow aristocrats who despised the idea of a racially integrated South. Wallace pegged Civil Rights activists as agitators, criminals, and unAmerican entities who wanted to disrupt the peace. Wallace would eventually denounce his racist rhetoric, attributing his change of heart to his newfound faith. His poisonous rhetoric, however, was here to stay.
And in 2015-2016, we saw the resurgence of nativist sentiments in Donald J. Trump's birther movement, attempting to discredit the office and administration of Barack Obama, America's first African American president. Donald Trump would later accentuate his right of passage by blaming the woes of American society on Mexican Americans and Latin-American immigrants, by calling them criminals, rapists, murderers, and vowing to restore the purity of American identity, namely, American identitarianism, by building a border wall that would protect America from immigrants. Donald Trump would fan the flames of nativism and racism once more by attempting to prohibit certain Middle Eastern immigrants from entering the United States of America in an attempt to thwart the spread of ISIS militancy. He portrayed Muslims from the Middle East as extremists, a dangerous and erroneous strategy. This tactic was used before in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Immigrant Act of 1924, which barred Chinese and other nationals from entering the country because of their race and nationality. Donald Trump would fall in line with Kearnyism by calling the virulent coronavirus the "China Virus" or the "Kung Flu" virus as a way of demonizing the Chinese to further his ideals and political influence. His followers bought the rhetoric and to this day they repeat his inflammatory and incendiary Levinistic vitriol with pride.
Levinism, Kearnyism, McCarthyism, Wallacism, and Trumpism are nothing new. In fact, if you're American, there is a very high chance that in the next decade or two, you will fall victim to the influential rhetoric of another demagogue. As the nation's demographic makeup continues to evolve and white Americans are forced to grapple with their new reality, namely, that they will be a minority in America, we'll see an acceleration of populist separatist demagogues rising from the shadows and launched into positions of political power and influence on the platform of nativism, anglo-Americanism (cloaked racism), Protestantism, nationalism, tribalism, and hyper-capitalism.
I want to believe Americans are no longer susceptible to this kind of subterfuge but history has shown us time and again just how much they love a good ol' demagogue, a strong man, who will restore America to its traditionally racially monochromatic and denominationally singular way of life by bending the rules just enough to get things done.
"A wide-ranging, landmark summary of the Black experience in America: searing, rich in unfamiliar detail, exploring every aspect of slavery and its continuing legacy . . . Again and again, The 1619 Project brings the past to life in fresh ways. . . . Multifaceted and often brilliant."—The New York Times Book Review

Culchahworks explores the relationship between Newfoundland and Jamaica
Newfoundland's famous "screech" can only be made from Jamaican rum, while ackee and saltfish - the national dish of Jamaica - requires salt cod, and cod is not native to the waters off Jamaica's shores. So how did this come to be?
Culchahworks examines this question in a riveting new drama, written and directed by Artistic Director Andrew Craig.
Set in 1923 - the height of the Prohibition era - "Fish And Rum" is the story of two families: one in Kingston, Jamaica, the other in a remote Newfoundland outport. Unknown to each other, the families live out parallel lives of struggle, in an uncertain economic climate. But the families become unwittingly connected through barter: the Newfoundlanders send salted cod to Jamaica, in exchange for rum barrels.
John Parsons, head of the Newfoundland family, one day decides to send lesser-grade cod to Jamaica, thinking no one will notice. Unfortunately, Roxroy James, the recipient in Kingston, does notice, and retaliates by sending lesser-grade barrels. Thus begins a race to the bottom that will have serious consequences for both families, and their communities.
All this is set against the backdrop of widespread political corruption, the fight for women's rights, and of course, rum running. In the end, we see how each individual action has an effect on many. We are all connected.
Told in both Newfoundland dialect and Jamaican patois (with surtitles), "Fish And Rum" offers a fascinating and factual look into life in Newfoundland and Jamaica in the 1920s. Even though the islands are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, their experiences are eerily parallel.
The music in "Fish And Rum" is a brand-new hybrid: a fusion of the traditional music of Newfoundland with the music that would have been popular in Jamaica one hundred years ago - a little-known style called Mento.
Presented in partnership with the Al Green Theatre, "Fish And Rum" is a hybrid theatre/video production unlike any other, that will engage, enlighten, and entertain. Don't miss your chance to be a part of this live studio performance and taping!

Most all Dental Assistants receive paying holiday days, sick life, and compensated Holidays.
Notwithstanding, earning such a graduate hourly wage comes with a majuscule destroy of responsibility.

Kenji Goto Jogo, one of the two Japanese hostages taken by the militant group Islamic State (IS) in Syria, is a Christian who "possesses a strong sense of justice," according to former pastor Hiroshi Tamura.
On Tuesday, IS released an online video demanding $200m from the Japanese government for the release of Goto, a freelance journalist, and Haruna Yukawa, a soldier, who was captured last August when fighting with Suqour al-Sham, a Syrian opposition group.
"To the prime minister of Japan: Although you are more than 8,500 km away from the Islamic State, you willingly have volunteered to take part in this crusade," said the militant in the video, adding that Japanese citizens must pressure their government to stop its "foolish" support for the U.S.-led coalition waging a military campaign against IS.
According to the Japan Times, Kenji Goto, whose small company Independent Press supplies stories to Japanese media from conflicts around the world, became a Christian and was baptized in the 1990s. He is believed to have been captured by IS last October while reporting from Syria.
Hiroshi Tamura, the former pastor of Denenchofu Church of the United Church of Christ, where Goto attended, said the journalist was committed to covering socially vulnerable people in the Middle East and possessed a strong sense of justice.
"Goto is devoted to reporting what should be reported with a firm conviction," recalled Pastor Tamura, "He has a strong sense of justice..and he has always been conscious of vulnerable people, including children."
ISIS has said it will behead both hostages unless the ransom is is paid within 72 hours. The terror group has previously executed several hostages on camera in retaliation for Western countries conducting airstrikes on its forces. In 2014, American hostages James Foley and Steven Sotloff were beheaded on camera, along with British hostages David Haines and Alan Henning.
Speaking from Jerusalem on Tuesday, Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe vowed that his country will do all that it can to save the two men from execution.
"We strongly demand the immediate release of the Japanese citizens unharmed," Abe said according to Reuters. "The international community needs to respond firmly and cooperate without caving into terrorism."
Chief government spokesman Yoshihide Suga added: "Our country's stance - contributing to the fight against terrorism without giving in - remains unchanged."


BMW, at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, presented i3 prototypes with 360-degree collision avoidance and fully automated parking in multi-story car parks.
The Verge, like other media outlets, tried to crash those cars but failed even when being outside of the vehicle, controlling the i3 via Samsung's Gear S smartwatch.
No matter how hard you try to go forward or backward into an obstacle, the car will "beep" and stop.
Additionally, that car can find a space and park itself and then be summoned.
Everything works just fine, at least at low speeds. Probably a few more years will be needed to launch similar systems on the market.
