CHARLOTTESVILLE: "WHITE NATIONALISM"
“WHITE NATIONALISM’S HOME IS CHARLOTTESVILLE
Sunday, August 13, 2017
By Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman
Albemarle County, Virginia, where Charlottesville and the University of Virginia are located, is the home of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson, Meriweather Lewis, William and George R. Clark, and “servent,” York.
As such it is the birthplace of “white nationalism,” set forth in “Query XIV” of former President, Thomas Jefferson’s 1785 occult classic, NOTES ON THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. In it, he described in lying, in flying hyperbole the innate inferiority of Africa n slaves to European masters, to justify white subjugation. “It,” as used above, meaning Albemarle County, capital, Charlottesville, more broadly the state of Virginia.
Thus, the national “Unite the Right” rally of August 12, 2017, that resulted in the deaths of three counter-protesters, at this writing, serious injuries to a score-more, was like hogs returning to slop; like swallows to Capistrano. The Ku Klux Klan, and its “alt-right” progeny: Nazis, and others, did not unite for right. They united to fight for the restoration of white supremacy at its archetypal birth place and cradle.
That Richard Spencer, a “conservative” University of Virginia alumnus, and fellow “conservative” and Klan leader, David Duke were also there. There in Charlottesville, amid its historic, Thomas Jefferson bequeathed lore: the University of Virginia, the Louisiana Purchase, Lewis, Clark & York Expedition.
It would be well had the Unite the Right leaders read-on past Query XIV to Query XVIII, they would see:
“Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever: that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events: that it may become probable by supernatural interference!… The spirit of the master is abating, that of the slave rising from the dust, his condition mollifying, the way I hope preparing, under the auspices of heaven, for a total emancipation, and that this is disposed, in the order of events, to be with the consent of the masters, rather than by their extirpation.” "Query XVIII,” Notes on the State of Virginia.
