"If stating some historical facts makes me a racist, then I suppose that I am a racist."
"And thank God white people populated America, and not the blacks. Otherwise, the US would look like Zimbabwe, which it might look like one day anyway, but at least America enjoyed 200 years in the economic and political sun under a white majority," #whitesupremacistplaybook

Michael Scipio assembled these typical phrases for thoughtful people to think about and do something with. You can't respond to such a mind steeped that far into denial and fear laced rhetoric! Anything founded on sand has little staying power!! You let die what is dying! You focus on yourself, and develop personal power, community power and strategies... Bitchin' and crying are not strategies. They only give birth to fear laced reactions to those who have power over your lives, in real time!
