4:39Now PlayingEvery white supremacist organization has some extremely anti-semitic things to say about Jewish people, but why is that? The Bitchuation Room put that question to Erick K. Ward, one of our guests at our Portland Live Show. Here’s a link to the article that Eric wrote a few years ago on how anti-semitism animates white nationalism. Give it a read, it’s well worth your time:
Both anti-semitism as well as anti-catholicism were integral parts of white supremacist ideology in the beginning of the 20th century, but anti-semitism has had a much longer shelf life. No one is worried about a papist president setting up a house in D.C. for the Pope anymore (yes that was a real concern), but there’s still more than enough anti-semitism being spouted by white supremacists.
According to our guest, part of why that may be is because of the Civil Rights Movement. White Supremacists lost the battle for civil rights in the 60s, but their ideology is fundamentally incapable of accepting that they lost because Black people out organized and out-gamed them in the political arena. Instead, someone else needs to be blamed, hence the fixation on Jews.
We were also joined at our LIVE show by Eric K. Ward, Executive Director of the Western States Center, Chair of the Proteus Fund, and senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center. Follow him on Twitter here:
Last but certainly not least, we were joined by Mac Smiff, artist, utility worker, and editor-in-chief of a hip-hop magazine. Follow some of his writing at the link below:
