I am working on a literary project aimed as a counter to white supremacist ideology in America (the continents) by asserting the rights of American Indians to control their ancestral homeland, significant to me both because I am an American Indian and because the Western Hemisphere is the home of the major permanent European colonialist states, whereas the invaders of Africa and Asia generally left and Australia is not home to a government that became an imperial power like that of the U.S., as well as the fact that I am a U.S. citizen and know the most about the movement here. In order to give them a taste of their own medicine, it advocates the same race-based repatriation and possible genocide against them that they promote against others. This is not holding with an actual view of mine; it’s merely intended to show them the consequences of the consistent application of their own dogma. I intend to publish a text along the lines of a pamphlet or thin hard-covered book that I will mail to major white supremacist leaders in the U.S. and Canada.

My question is whether people find this sort of "reciprocation" objectionable, in that their own bigotry is hurled back at them by those that have been oppressed by racist policies. I think it's the sort of rhetoric that the supremacists deserve to have thrown in their faces.

My wife teaches sociology. When she gets to the class on immigration issues, she sets up the anti-immigrant students she has by getting them to assert the view that immigrants should "speak the language" if they are going to be here ... then proceeds to conduct the rest of her class in Lakotah until the point is made.

From what I've read, there are actually a few white peopel from the americas who say they woudl gladly return to Europe if those Pakistanis/Poles/Turks/Algerians etc... would leave as well, and let the original inhabitants of the Americas reclaim it. And I've even read on stormfront:rolleyes: where a south african now living in australia insists that south africa was taken from the bushmen and that the bantu speakers should follow his example and leave it to the rightful owners.

... which is why, of course, he's now living in Australia -- because there were no indigenous people living there when the whites arrived. :rolleyes:

I wonder why the WPA still calls the Tea Party movement "nativist" instead of adopting the more accurate term "pseudo-nativist." :confused:
