A Call For Unity and Action as White Supremacy Grows:
- If not now, when will we stand up and be counted? How many death threat signs directed to the President and his family must we see before we stand up and say "enough"?
- How many black boys and men must be dehumanized, brutalized, incarcerated, and murdered by police before we stand up and say they are our brothers too?
- How much hate talk can we tolerate before we stop it? How long will we let the red-state politicians and their allies destroy this country and create a racial climate in states that uses fear, terror, and white supremacy to ensure their power, as their predecessors did at the close of the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth century?
- How many more howling and enraged mobs do we need to see to connect them with white America’s long history of mob violence, whether during lynching, red riots, or the Southern Freedom /Civil Rights Movement?
- How long will we stand by and let white supremacists use health care to hide behind?
With these questions ringing in our hearts and minds, we held a grassroots emergency summit on Saturday, September 19, 2009 in Columbus, Georgia. We discussed and planned a collective Southern strategy that addresses the dangerous rising tide of racism, which is creating an environment for oppression, vigilante violence, and white backlash against people of color, especially African-Americans.
