America's Ethnic Cleansing -white Only Towns

[JustAnotherGen]

I've seen minor discomfort from the Dominant Culture regarding the formation of white only towns in MO, Arkansas, etc. etc. beyond DU.

The thing is the founders of these communities - they are only saying the Quiet Part Out Loud.

Ethnic Cleansing Definition: the mass expulsion or killing of members of one ethnic or religious group in an area by those of another: "historical documents tell a different story of deliberate and intentional ethnic cleansing on a scale rarely seen"

This has always been a thing in America. Setting aside the mass murder of Indigenous Americans - the next target and final end game has always been Black People.

I'm deliberately giving examples from the early 20th Century. Know why? Last week I read someone dismiss Black Americans CONTINUED pain due to this activity as 5 Generations ago. Like it didn't matter - even though they most likely personally were allowed to thrive at the expense of Grandparents.

Corbin Kentucky - Seeing white, a Racial Cleansing in America

In 1919, a white mob forced the entire black population of Corbin, Kentucky, to leave, at gunpoint. It was one of many racial expulsions in the United States. What happened, and how such racial cleansing became “America’s family secret.”

Know why this is important? Because it's hard to get a Black American to focus on others pain in other countries across OCEANS when we see what is heading towards us if we don't prepare to go on the offense. It's easy to dismiss as irrelevant, because folks don't have the same INTERGENERATIONAL TRAUMA that we do in our DNA.

Their ancestors showed up at Ellis Island and got a free ride (stole our jobs and land) to enjoy the America that we built, were promised between 1865 and 1877, then had ripped away from us.

This doesn't even get into the lynching, the white mobs murdering and destroying entire Black towns, and the resurgence of the Klan in the form of the Proud Boys and Gentrification.

In another forum (not on DU) I wrote an absolute truth. No one pushed back. And the absolute truth is that I'm worried about me, and people that look like me in America. I'm worried about our natural LONGTIME time allies in the USA - Jewish Americans. I'm worried about the horrors being inflicted in Ukraine. I'm worried about Alligator Alcatraz - because I know that the first folks in Dachau were not Jews.

At minimum - I'm smirking at the Dominant Culture who live in LARGE majority white towns and boroughs who are pretending to be horrified at this little blip in America. It's not a dirty secret. It's right in front of your eyes . . . if only you would open them.
