BLM leader: Destroy all depictions of Jesus Christ as “white European”

By Rubashov

Black Lives Matter is run by a group of self-described “trained Marxists”.  Not old school, working class Marxists, mind you.  No getting their hands dirty, blue-collar labor for these Marxists, thank you very much. 
 
In the 1960s, Marxist academics like Herbert Marcuse came up with a new form of libertine Marxism based on theories about “identity” that allowed the children of professionals to adopt the fashion of Marxism while living very comfortably in academia or growing fat off corporate grants.  It is this snowflake variety of Marxism that the founders of Black Lives Matter practice. 
 
Just remember that while Karl Marx was impoverished to the point that several of his children starved to death, Herbert Marcuse was something of a playboy whose jobs in academia and books sales made him rather rich.  Which one do you think your average upper-middle class college-educated activist would rather emulate?   
 
Unlike the devotees of Black Lives Matter, Marx was sensitive to the role of class in the American South in the run-up to the Civil War.  In his extensive writings from that period, Marx examined the class divisions inside the Southern states.  When writing about the secession resolutions, for example, Marx portrays the slave-owning class as a small but powerful minority, ruling over both the largely enslaved black population and poor whites.  Yes, Karl Marx understood and made those distinctions.
 
Black Lives Matter is not so intellectually precise as all that – instead preferring blanket condemnations based on skin-color, national origin, and such.  W.E.B. Du Bois would have seen BLM for what they are:  Racialists trapped in a perspective obsessed by skin-color.      
 
Fresh from BLM tearing down General U.S. Grant’s statue over the weekend (yes, General Grant, the man who defeated the Confederacy; yep, they forgot that without Grant there would have been no victory, no freedom, no Juneteenth, no anything) a prominent Black Lives Matter activist named Shaun King on Monday called for the removal of statues, murals and stained glass windows that depict Jesus as a “white European,” which he claimed “are a form of white supremacy.”
 
“Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down,” King, wrote on Twitter. “They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been.”
 
“In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went?” he added. “EGYPT! Not Denmark. Tear them down.”
 
“All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down,” King wrote in a second tweet. “They are a gross form of white supremacy.”
 
By “white friends” we suppose the BLM honcho was referring to the apostles.  Is this idiot really suggesting that he doesn’t understand that every culture since Ancient Greece has depicted its gods or God in their own image?  People with dog heads went out with Ancient Egypt.  Oh, and by-the-way, Denmark didn't exist until the 8th century  How could anyone have gone to some place that didn't exist yet?
 
Black Lives Matter must harbor levels of malevolence not witnessed since the Taliban destroyed those statues of the Buddha some twenty years ago.  The Taliban insisted that all religions kneel before them.  Remember how the world reacted when they went too far?

In 2001, the Taliban destroyed the world's tallest Buddha statues, which towered over Afghanistan's Bamiyan Valley for centuries. Today, they've risen again ...

As for Shaun King?  Don’t worry about him.  The media reports that he has made millions as a fund-raiser for causes like Black Lives Matter.  Nobody in his family is going to starve.  Snowflake Marxism has been very good to Shaun. 
 
That said, he has attracted attention on how he has spent the money raised for such causes.  The New York Post reports…
 
Activist Shaun King has botched his attempt to recreate abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ newspaper, The North Star, as an online venture — sparking renewed scrutiny over his financial dealings, according to a report Tuesday.
 
King’s new media outlet — which was lauded by such celebs as Susan Sarandon and Megan Mullally — has pulled in between $60,000 and $625,000 a month, depending on various figures he’s provided, the Daily Beast said.
 
Yet it has failed to deliver on nearly every one of his promises, which included building “multiple studios’’ and “hiring nearly 50 world class journalists,” the site said.

“History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce.”
(Karl Marx, author and philosopher)

Whose interests does erasing history serve?

Does the rise of a neo-Nazi movement in America indicate that we are failing to teach history in our schools?  Or are we teaching it in too simplistic a fashion, as a kind of sci-fi story with poorly-written characters that are too clearly good or evil?

We like our history served up to us plain and unequivocal.  Give us gods and monsters or give us no history at all!

But history is complex, and within each soul of us there exists the potential for both good and evil.  So beware of history served up like an old western -- with cardboard cutout figures wearing black or white hats.  It is too easy, and explains nothing.

Within the lifetimes of most Americans, the Taliban went from being "freedom fighters," battling the Soviet Union, to the enemy harboring Osama Bin Laden.  As always, Hollywood tried to shape history and made movies to glorify them...

But we forget this as we forget everything that is uncomfortable.  We want "goodies" and "baddies" -- gods and monsters -- and we want to leave it at that.

The Taliban provides an interesting lesson in the attempt to erase history.  They are monument destroyers.  They wish to forget the past, erase it, and behave as though it never was:

It seems they have something in common with this crowd:

Here in America, there are those who want to cleanse the past from memory too, as the Turks have attempted to do with regards to the Armenian Holocaust.  The difference between how the Turks and the Germans accept their respective pasts is instructive and should hold a lesson for America.

Last week, we wrote about the need to remember, when Assemblyman John Wisniewski joined Democrat candidates Kate Matteson and Gina Trish at the former Camp Nordland in Andover Township, New Jersey.  We noted that it was a member of the local political establishment back in the 1930's, Newton lawyer William Dolan, who handled the land transaction that granted an American Nazi group control of the land that became Camp Nordland.  Mr. Dolan was then the sitting State Senator of Sussex County, a Democrat, at a time when each county had one state senator. 

According to a scholar at the University of Michigan, "New Jersey Congressman J. Parnell Thomas, Republican of Sussex, noted that New Jersey State Senator William Dolan, a Democrat, had aided the Bund in buying Nordland and that the Democratic Township Committee of Andover had granted Nordland a liquor license." 

According to historian and author Warren Grover, Camp Nordland in Andover Township was incorporated in March 1937.  Fritz Kuhn, the American Fuehrer himself, was one of the eight trustees of Camp Nordland.  When the camp formally opened in July, State Senator Dolan was introduced by the American Nazi Bund's New Jersey Bundesleiter, and he greeted the "swastika waving" crowds. 

Dolan was a political enemy of Franklin's Alfred "Bike" Littell, who went on to take his place as State Senator and to serve as Senate President.  Littell, whose education at Princeton University had been interrupted for service in an artillery regiment in World War I, went to war with the American Nazis.   Alfred Littell was the father of Senator Bob Littell, father-in-law of NJ Republican Party Chairwoman Virginia Littell, and the grandfather of Assemblywoman Alison Littell McHose.

Wikipedia notes:  "Camp Nordland was a 204-acre resort facility located in Andover Township, New Jersey. From 1937 to 1941, this site was owned and operated by the German American Bund, which sympathized with and propagandized for Nazi Germany in the United States. This resort camp was opened by the Bund on 18 July 1937.  In the years before the Second World War, the Bund held events at the facility to encourage pro-German, pro-Nazi values—many of these events attracting over 10,000 visitors. On 18 August 1940, it was the site of a joint rally with the Ku Klux Klan...  While much of its history and notoriety has faded over the last 70 years, many local residents of Sussex County still refer to the area as the 'bund camp.'"

Here is a short video that provides something of a history lesson for Assemblyman Wisniewski and the Democrats:

The writer Sinclair Lewis published a satirical novel in 1935 called, It Can't Happen Here, two years before it did happen here -- right here, in Andover Township, New Jersey.  It is high time for the Township to acknowledge that history -- as a warning against an ideology that sent so many millions to their deaths.

It was one heck of a venue for Assemblyman Wisniewski and the Democrats' to choose.  Especially given their party's history in establishing the camp.

Maybe the Assemblyman can propose a resolution to memorialize what happened in New Jersey and the attempt here to normalize Nazism?  Lest we forget...
