DEFEATING WHITE SUPREMACY
DEFEATING WHITE SUPREMACY
We can defeat white supremacists ' untruthfulness, duplicity, hypocrisy, by remaining or by becoming, what they never were before and are not now, viz: truthful, faithful, rigorous, fruitful, individually and collectively.
These sentiments find expressions in 3rd century, African philosopher, Plotinus book, THE ENNEADS.
He wrote on page 197 (1991):
"It is a general principle that to be modified, an object must be opposed in faculty and in quality to the forces that enter and act upon it.
"Thus when heat is present, the change comes by something that chills, where damp by some drying agency: we say a subject is modified when from warm it becomes cold, from dry wet."
By the same principle applies to white supremacists, who being flesh and spirit can be modified by those who exercise opposing force.
