The connection is that the development of white supremacy against Africans
in support of racial slavery under developing monopoly capitalism in the
United States has provided the prototype [ the economic, social, political,
and even sexual (notice how quickly the plight of Syrian refugees in Europe
has been sexualized with tales of rape and molestation - for a good
discussion of the underlying psychology and its development in the
pre-Antebellum South see Joel Kovel, White Racism A Psychohistory { this is
also important in understanding how deep the rabbit hole of racism goes})]
for the operation of white supremacy, .i.e. racism, in every sphere and
with every people, especially, but not limited to, other national
minorities.

I found this article interesting but superficial.

Without acknowledging what has already been done in this regard - like from
Kafranbel.

Was this written by someone in BLM, because that would explain why it makes

But in case they should ask for a no-fly zone like the Libyans got, there's
