    Empire Files: Why America? Mass Shootings & White Nationalism Share Roots

    DESCRIPTION

    Since October 2017, America experienced three of the deadliest mass shootings in modern history. This epidemic coincides with a frightening resurgence of white nationalism. Sometimes the two trends overlap.

    But why here? Both phenomena can be explained by a common historical thread — to unravel it Abby Martin sits down with indigenous scholar Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz to discuss her latest book “Loaded: A Disarming History of the Second Amendment”.

    At 6:15 Roxanne echoes Fred's words.

    I've made the comparison between the Irish and the Native Americans before. (@19 min.)

    Wow. What an interview. Sounds like the book is worth a look.

    Ortiz, in a different interview, discusses how slaves were constantly in insurrection. They never accepted their status. Owners were quite worried over slave revolts. This is something I learned about years ago when I studied the Civil War.

    Kanye West was full of garbage when he talked about slavery being a choice. He should have stayed in his lane. (see what I did there?)
