Cross burning is diversionary
tactic
To the
Editor:
The
Christian Patriots League and other Christian
Fundamentalist Leaders seem ready to drape themselves in patriotism and
seize
the issue of flag-burning. It’s
surprising that they haven’t raised a hue and cry about burning their
own
sacred symbol, the cross. Seems like
it’s alright with them to burn a cross in public. But,
there is a law on the St. Paul books about burning
trash. If cross-burners were arrested
for littering and dumping on other peoples’ property, and burning trash
without
a permit, the charges would be Constitutional.
Robert
Viktora, the “white separatist” and White Supremacist
alleged to have burned a cross in St. Paul two years ago, is quoted in
the
Minneapolis Star Tribune as saying that White people should
live apart
from other races. White people already
have their own land, and their own Nations, in Europe.
This Continent belongs, and has always
belonged, to the Aboriginal Indigenous People (not “Indians”
invented by
the European colonizers who gave their “Indians” stereotyped labels and
a
racist identity). Talking about White
separatist communities on somebody else’s land is the height of
arrogance, or ignorance,
especially when the European immigrants don’t have any roots here, nor
own
their own identity on this land. The
wanna-be White Aryans should scrutinize their own history and their
genealogy,
and find out why their ancestors were kicked out of the White nations
they once
had in Europe. (Many of these
Lily-Whites were forcibly deported from White Europe because they had
“tainted
blood” from the Moorish and Tartar occupations.) Instead
of adding further to the enormous social problems the
European refugees have brought onto somebody else’s land, why not face
the
truth, and work to create a harmonious communities among all the
diverse
peoples who are now here? The twisted
dream of White Aryan Supremacy vanished with the greedy “Divine
Mandate” of
Manifest Destiny.
Cross-burning
is a diversionary tactic. What we need is
political parity and
economic security for all of the people; not just for the
W.A.S.P.s, but
for everybody. If White historians are
going to claim that the U.S. Constitution has roots in the Iroquois
Confederacy, then they had better live up to the standards of that
Aboriginal
Indigenous concept.
