A wake-up call for white Americans
Salon ^ | Feb 1, 2026 | Chauncey DeVega

Posted on 02/02/2026 3:39:55 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

None of what we have seen over the past few weeks — not the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis at the hands of federal officers, the seizure of children by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents, the callous disregard of civil rights and liberties from an increasingly authoritarian administration — is supposed to be happening in America. But it is.

American citizens are being arrested and brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights — recording ICE, standing nearby or simply being the “wrong” color in the wrong place. The Trump administration has labeled these Americans “domestic terrorists,” claiming they posed existential threats to heavily armed federal agents, despite clear video evidence to the contrary. Immigrants are hiding, afraid to go outside. Entire neighborhoods and communities are under siege. Even though it’s only January, at least eight people have died from their encounters with ICE......

Like many other white Americans, and too many Black and brown Americans, she seemed willfully ignorant of her own country’s history, which includes genocide and land theft against First Nations; white-on-Black chattel slavery; Jim and Jane Crow; the Black Codes; the Red Scare; violent social and political repression of LGBTQ Americans; the Palmer Raids; mass incarceration and the War on Drugs, to name just a few examples.......

Polls released in the aftermath of Good and Pretti’s killings show that a majority of Americans oppose Donald Trump’s immigration policies. According to a YouGov poll, more Americans (46%) want to abolish ICE than support it (41%). A small but growing number of Republicans also want ICE abolished or reformed with far stricter oversight.......

What is happening now to white people like her has been the norm for Black, brown and other marginalized communities throughout American history

Obviously a black racist author. Interesting that "Black" is capitalized but "brown" is not. Of course "white" is also lower case.

South Africa has a history similar to the United States. White Europeans land in hostile territory and over the centuries build an advanced civilization there. In the case of South Africa whites became the minority and now they are being systematically murdered . A cautionary tale of what happens when the Great Replacement succeeds.

White Europeans settled areas in South Africa with no people and black African migrated there later.

“...Immigrants are hiding, afraid to go outside...”

They can always go back to the shithole country they came from and then stand in line to apply for American citizenship. These illegal democrats are like a plague virus, eating the host, killing it and then moving on to another host to feed on. Deport them all, now before the USA collapses under the weight of a billion freeloaders.

Know what else is not supposed to be happening in America, Chauncey? People coming here illegally and stealing billions of dollars from the taxpayers and sending the money back to the sh*thole country they left while at the same time turning the city they live in into the sh*thole country they left. Chauncey.

And don't even get me started on the raping and the murdering and the sex trafficking and the drug trafficking. Chauncey.

Well, duh. If all they see is those videos over and over and over, what do you think they're going to say?

Why doesn't the Fake News Media show the thousands of arrests that have been made peacefully and itemize the crimes committed by those arrested?

Because they want the chaos to continue so they'll have something to "report".

Go pound sand, Chauncey. You’ve spent years telling white people they’re worthless and second-class citizens, and now you want them to step up? Get bent.

Much like Israel, hardly any population, agriculture, certainly industry till the Jews came, then, all of a sudden, the land mattered

Exactly. They move into white areas because it is better than their own sh*thole.

Blacks in Africa sold blacks to browns (Muslims) who sold them to whites,
“American Indians” were warring, invading, murdering, enslaving each other long before “whitey” showes up, but in this idiots minds, like many, it is all whiteys fault🤔
