When I was young I us'd to wait

On the boss and hand him his plate;

and Pass down the bottle when he got dry,

And brush away the blue tail fly.

Dred Scott Cartoon

Dancing With Freedom

 

There are three groups of humans who began the USA- The Colonizers, The Colonized, and The Slaves as shown in the above Quadrille from and of the Era. As is so clearly and sarcastically illustrated, Race has been used over time to refine and refine this, continually keeping authority and control in place.

This is the tried and true power dynamic of Antiquity. Egypt, Greece, Persia, China- ALL employed it in fits and starts between revolution and war, but only One, Rome, perpetuated Slavery's degenerate residue unabated for over 2 Millennia- RIGHT on into 1964 America, and now, apparantly to be debated once again in the US Congress circa 2011- (sub-title:) Reconstruction Redux.

The results of this are entirely quantifiable, with the Genome clearly showing modern Americans' DNA geo patterns and racial genetic percentage amounts tracing White Westward Expansion conquest and intentional Southern Black Repression. These measurements are unassailable, (they are in our DNA and suitable for framing) and represent without debate the racist institutionalism and extreme prejudices and hate the United States of America was built on.

But, who are the White People? Who are they? Where did they come from? And, WHO said they were White? Why? When? Rome? What the ... ?

Like the Hawaiian Islands, America was settled by Colonizers in multiple waves of immigration. These groups did not know it then, but they would end up defining what would become White People as we know them today, with trends in Europe first beginning the twisted genesis of the demonization of darker as the "others"- then adapting the monicker White People after the Colonizers here had made it a Race in order to keep their power in place.

1First came the Puritans, the White Folk we all know from grade school. They gave us the New England American Culture; 2Second came the Royal-esque English Cavaliers, Colonizers extraordinaire who, Scotts-Irish servants in tow, would give us Southern American Culture (by entirely appropriating West African tradition); 3Third were the Quakers- The Real Americans!- theirs is the Real American Culture we, and everyone else, all so identify with the USA and love so much and want to "export" for all the World to share; 4Fourth came the hill people, cousins of the Scotts-Irish, who settled Appalachia and the Ozarks, creating the distinct American Mountain Culture. 

For Centuries these groups would multiply and manage to, through genocide, remain the largest in the land, defining White Culture and putting the final touches on the concept of a White Race, with tragic eventual blowback at home for the Europeans who inspired it, as well as for Jews and Polynesians.

So, why are White Americans, other than the local Haole of Hawaii, who number only in the thousands, confused, angry, conflicted, and, yes, cowardly, when it comes to confronting the country’s intensely racist past?

 

The TIMELINE of the USA’s formation says it all-

........................................................................................................................ 

eyes open, try and take a neutral look:

 

1002-

Leif Erickson arrives in the Vinland (Wine Land) of North America, and says nothing about being White. He, most certainly, self-identifies as Norse.

1453-

Rome finally falls. The elite and powerful flee Constantinople for Italy and points beyond; their arrival will trigger the Renaissance and re-ignite the fire of slavery in Spain during time of conflict with Africans. They do not identify as White and neither do their White Slaves. Rome was called Rome until 1453.

1492-

Columbus leaves Spain and on "finding" Hispaniola, takes the role of Colonizer-1, and begins to immediately slaughter and enslave the now Colonized-2 locals. Neither side has ever heard of the concept of a White Race per se; the natives' descendants will become intimately familiar with it.

1517-

Triggered by the Renaissance, The Reformation begins. And Europeans, who still self-identify not at all as White, but as English/Irish/Spanish - Italian/Holy Roman/Scots/Dane/Fin ... ok, you get the idea, and these are just a few of the broad categories, start trying to explain dualism by identifying "others" as responsible for ongoing "dark" barbarous behaviors. 

1521-

Hernán Cortés conquers the Americas' Aztec Empire, capturing the world's largest city in present day Mexico, while America proper remains untouched in the West for centuries. This opens the Spanish Main route to Manila, and Slaves-3 from Africa to capture, sale and brutal European export or death.

1582-

Sir Humphrey Gilbert, seeing, as he called them, a "surplus"- though not White,  population in England, acquired charter to 7 million acres in "Norumbega" (New England). His plan to precede the civilians in order to massacre the Natives in America before the first colonists arrived to break ground failed when his ship sank at sea off Brittany following reports of mutiny.

1584-

Sir Walter Raleigh

Discourse of Western Planting by Richard Hakluyt

16o3-

 Shakespeare's Othello premieres on the stages of London. The lead character, a European General, is African. Yes, the General, the lead, not the valet.

Art imitates life, even moreso with the Master, and offstage the continued Reformation movement needs scapegoats, especially those that can simply illustrate good and evil ... and dark is evil. Britain squarely suffers this curse.

1619-

A Dutch ship lands at Fort Monroe with the first 20 African Slave Captives for the fledgling Virginia Colony ... The genesis of the USA Hating Tradition begins.

1620's-

Jamestown, Virginia, America: The natural human talent for travel has all sorts of people in the New World, some by choice; some by circumstance, and many are indentured, they must work for 3-7 years to work off a debt. White people still do not self identify as White, and indentured servants are of various races- White, Red, Black, Mixed, as are their contracted masters.

1637-

The Pequot Wars

After enslaving Indian wives and children in New England, "White" People then exchanged their Native American husbands for black slaves on the slave trade market. As the Indians were not Christians this was considered OK to do.

1640s- The American Hating Really Starts in Earnest!

As indentured servants lobbied for better conditions, a divide and conquer strategy by their Masters was developed. As most Africans were not Christians, and many Native Americans were not Christians, this was SEIZED on and used to turn them from servants to slaves, to separate them from the other servants (mostly white, like the masters) and to use them as easy examples of what happens to anyone who complains about conditions.

Yes, evil people, not all of whom were White, but all evil to the core, over time dealt with an uprising by targeting Africans for their religion then using the obvious and easy skin color difference to segregate them from the other servants and use them as an example. So begins the hating of darker folks.

1645-

A second "juste warre" with the Pequots is instigated to capture enough Indian men, women, and children the Puritans exchange in Barbados for, as they themselves recorded: "a stock of slaves sufficient to doe all our business."

1652-

The GOOD people of Rhode Island passed the First Abolition Law in the thirteen colonies, banning African slavery- it was NOT enforced! Hate continued.

1676-

Bacon's Rebellion 

1680-

The Germans (Pennysylvania Dutch) start arriving in America. They are NOT considered White, nor given a warm welcome. Ben Franklin would later write that they were not White at all, except for, of course, the Saxons, who were quite welcome as they were the one and the only non-English peoples considered White despite the rest of the Germans for sure not being White at all- though that would tragically change over time.

1712-

Willie Lynch Letter

1772: The Somersett's case held that no slave could be forcibly removed from Britain. This case was generally taken at the time to have decided that the condition of slavery did not exist under English law in England and Wales, and emancipated the ten to fourteen thousand slaves or possible slaves in England and Wales, who were mostly domestic servants

1777: Constitution of the Vermont Republic bans slavery.

1780: Pennsylvania passes An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery, freeing future children of slaves. Those born prior to the Act remain enslaved-for-life. The Act becomes a model for other Northern states.

1783: Massachusetts rules slavery illegal based on 1780 constitution. All slaves immediately freed.

1783: New Hampshire begins a gradual abolition of slavery, freeing future children of slaves, and all slaves in [year].

1784: Connecticut begins a gradual abolition of slavery, freeing future children of slaves, and all slaves in [year].

1784: Rhode Island begins a gradual abolition of slavery, freeing future children of slaves, and all slaves in [year].

1787: Sierra Leone founded by Britain as colony for emancipated slaves

1787: Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade founded in Britain.

1794: French First Republic abolishes slavery

1799: New York State passes gradual emancipation act freeing future children of slaves, and all slaves in 1827.

1804: New Jersey begins a gradual abolition of slavery, freeing future children of slaves.[17] Those born prior to the Act remain enslaved-for-life.

1807: 25 March Abolition of the Slave Trade Act: slave trading abolished in British Empire. Captains fined £120 per slave transported.

1807: British begin patrols of African coast to arrest slaving vessels. West Africa Squadron (Royal Navy) established to suppress slave trading; by 1865, nearly 150,000 people freed by anti-slavery operations

1808: United States—import and export of slaves prohibited after 1 Jan

 *THIS BLOG IS A WORK IN PROGRESS ...

........................................................................................................................

* The charter colonies were, of course, under the authority of European Royals. The Master/Serf power and economic structure was all they knew. The pious lived what we now know as the work ethic lifestyle … those not so holy ran business as usual- slavery and indentured servitude were the brute labor force, yet, even in those early days they too yearned for civil rights and freedom.

* When these hard working Americans tried to organize, the Royals enacted laws- read them for yourself!- which were designed, and quite effectively, to break this new and moral union by exploiting the evolution of Vitamin D synthesis that gave equatorial humans their beautiful glow. So, for the first time, poor and credulous saps were told their whiteness gave them entrée to the club, and they ate it hook, line and sinker.

* While Mexico for hundreds of years remained the center of the influence and wealth of the Americas, in the USA slowly over this time more black folks were brought as slaves into the backwaters of the North and South, and multiplied while Native Americans were both attacked and allied with by the USA and the European powers for another several hundred years until whites effectively extinguished them for good.

* As the mop-up of Indian killing finished its course, the USA, now large and powerful thanks to Napoleon’s misadventures and defeat, Spain’s many missteps, England’s repeated failures and Russia’s expansion into the continent, the coup before de grace that is our Islands, our country then focused on the now weaker position centuries old Mexico found itself in as Spain, and eventually France and the Habsburgs, tried to steer its course.

* The Mexicans were handily defeated and the Southwest appropriated, though not wide enough and the USA went back and took El Paso et al for the railroads. From then on Mexicans were demonized as evil and inferior, as were our black brothers and sisters.

United States Marines Overthrow Hawaiian Kingdom

US Marines prepare to attack the Hawaiian Queen

 

* Us Hawaiians were being crucified here as well, along with many of our Polynesian cousins, when the good white folks of the world made a stand, saying no more of this disgusting behavior would be tolerated in the new states, newly ethnically cleansed of Indians, but not about to be filled with black slaves as replacements.

Slaves in the United States of America

* Southerners, the worst of whom were not at all good Americans in our tradition but actually posing, hating wannabees who so dreamed they could be like the English Trader Barons, and, oh please, someday, be like a Habsburg and rule over Georgia as Good Emporer Max would in the Holy Roman Empire’s Mexico. They attacked but evil was repelled and for a time the haters were kept down, but not for long enough.

White and Black Civil War Veterans
 
Haole & Popolo Vets

 

* Once back in power the hating continued and multiplied to go after Asians who were, after all, guilty of the crime of building the infrastructure that would create the greatest economic boom in history.

* Despite the Scots/Irish and Anglican background of the haters, new Irish, and new Italians, were also demonized as evil, due to their membership in the Universal Faith, one the God fearing haters, who owed their entire religion to it, hated a great deal.

* Our Islands were than appropriated as the Russians sold out and from sea to shining sea we had white folks hating on Blacks, Hispanics and Asians, and working hard to enact laws to make sure the hating was of the highest order- exclusion was big, separation was good, voting was out, killing was back in!

* The whole party was side-swiped by WWI, where all the groups did some fightin’ for the cause, and when they came back the non-whites had enough of the hating, they had proved themselves once and for all, and so good started taking hold again.

 

Sambo Cartoon

 Mad Men of the Times

* The depression gave the haters a reprieve, but WWII began the eventual end of their reign as the wannabee Royals of the USA. Following Tuskegee, the 442nd, and the Wind Talkers, there wasn’t much haters could say in public, though they kept trying.

 

 
Us v. Dem

 

* Then, folks had enough and they burned Detroit, Newark, Chicago and Watts, occupied Alcatraz and Kahoolawe, and took their rightful place in the USA.

* This scared not just the haters, but also the regular folk, then first Buchanan et al, then Atwater and friends, used their intimate knowledge of hate to stoke the fires of White Power into a final flame-out … the burning embers of Reagan’s War On Blacks giving it a fiery pop into the present.

* In a nutshell, the “Man” scares the credulous to vote for him and keep the suntanned down … and this is the End Times for that kind of primitive behavior.

What happened? I know I commented on this post yesterday.
Thank you for this! Well done, Oahu. xoxoxox
The suntanned keep themselves down.....unless they can find a bunch of guilt ridden white apologists to pay their bills for them.
Nut,

Hmm, yeah Slavery and Extermination- yeah that is truly keeping yourself down ... you got to get new glasses. You are just consumed with ANCIENT IGNORANCE ... this is 2010 sonny, race is Vitamin D ... period ... you still all hung up on losing the South and getting spanked so hard, or what?
BTW Nut,

Did you watch the videos?

Seriously, did you? Please comment on them.
As for the first video, that was from a period in our history affectionately known as the good ol' days. Blacks dance and play music while whites build spacecraft and send other white men to the moon.

As for the second video, the guy is a race traitor.

Regarding the Civil War, we are still in an intermission. When it starts up again, the South will prevail.
Damn Nut- you've been havin' us on! Good on you ... must have been a kick, sippin a cold one and laughing while typing away as the Voltaire-esque scribe of the Far Right Nazi-Zone ... the best satire always has both sides fooled, bwahahahaha sometimes shock humor can be some funny shit ... if you don't take yourself too seriously, and what liberal would do that?
I wasn't kidding about the intermission.......when it's over, payback time.
No Dude, I know you're just kidding now ... give it up- even Glenn Beck breaks character when he goes home, he's no Daniel Day-Lewis after all, just a drive time DJ with a drug problem after all.

I know you are totally kidding- you expect us to believe the credulous, uneducated and imbecilic trailer masses will formulate a plan to take over all the smart people in California and New York ... with what money, what brains and what resources?

A comical dream, you have a screenplay opp, though, might want to pursue it ... could mean a trip to Cali!
You should know about the Southern Poverty Law Center. They are a group that tracks the activities of hate groups, and whenever possible, SUES them. They are often quite successful at shutting them down. They beat a group called Aryan Nation so badly that they not only totally bankrupt them but were awarded all right to the name "Aryan Nation." Now that group can't even reorganize.

They also have a "Teach Tolerance" group that distributes materials to schools, Sunday schools, and teachers.

It's not as cool as surfing (especially in Hawaii) but, what is?
The really interesting thing is that prior to the US Civil War, poor whites throughout the South hated the Slave-Owning Plantation class. Whenever a plantation moved into an area, all the poor white sharecropper, yeoman farmers were put out of work in much the way that Wal Mart puts "Mom & Pop" businesses out of work today.

Most southern White men in the early 19th century made enough food for their family, and then sold the surplus at market. When slavery came-in, they could produce a given crop far more cheaply, by pursuing a policy of vast-bulk-quantity, that allowed them to sell a given pound of a given good at a far smaller rate than the independent, free-holding southern white landowner could.

This is what pushed poor whites westward into the Gulf regions and into Texas---the SouthEastern Plantation Elite was dominating them and pushing them into poverty.

Sadly, the Civil War and Reconstruction prevented many of them from opening their eyes. Some of them saw the game clearly, though. The poorest regions of the South, such as West Virginia, broke free, because they hated the Planter Class so much. Much tension in Louisiana, too, over this issue.

The Planter class was able to prevent poor whites from rising up against them, by playing the race card and yankee card. Nothing unifies a disorderly house more than having common internal, or external, enemy.

Same old game. Same sad results. I wish RWnutjob would see that his real enemies are Wal Street, the Banks and other Big Boys, not his black, yellow, brown and poor white brothers. We all have the same enemies and must unite against them. Racial conflict is an illusion created by "the Matrix" of Capitalist class oppression.
There is no one starting point exactly, but when partus sequitur ventrum was recorded as Law in charter colonies the official sanction of ignorant hatred was institutionalized ... and is still with us ...
To see a man come to the table armed with fact and knowledge compounded by intelligent analysis is truly a thing of beauty!!

Well done Mr. Surfer, sir.

^R^
Sky ... it is time to find a way to get our History out, damn the Haters once and for all, and anyone who still stands with them ...

RW, indeed you are so right ... it is a major challenge- how will we educate the people who erroneously believe that well-educated people, and not Wall Street Goons, are their enemies ... 400 years of HATE has to be explained, sadly, in the most basic terms ...
While I don't disagree with your statements about the whites in the western hemisphere, the unfortunate thing is that this master/serf attitude existed/exists in the entire world wherever groups rub up against each other and there is competition for anything.
It's easier to characterize here because of the color-coding but point to any even moderately populated area on the globe and this exists. It may be more difficult to see because the colors might be the same or similar but it exists.

Lew
Lew- So true. The same old tricks used around the Globe, regardless of how much Vitamin D synthesis the local population's been exposed to historically. Tibeto-Burman traditions among the most stubborn of all as the classic example. I point out the USA's as we are supposed to be better; the lack of historical knowledge is slowing down progress.

Excellent point, thanks.
So much culture here...I did have that Hair LP too. Good work.
