per newspaper articles published in those years.

Imagine how much better the world would be if, following the
first arrest, Fred had been prohibited from reproducing. This is
why we need state control over reproduction.

> Fred Trump was arrested in 1927 during a Ku Klux Klan riot in
Queens, New York, on Memorial Day, per The New York Times.

> The Klansmen were met by some 100 policemen, and both parties
clashed in a "free-for-all battle," The Times wrote. When the
dust settled, Fred Trump was one of seven men arrested, per The
Times.

> Fred Trump was also arrested in Maryland for not complying
with housing code violations, according to a 1976 report by The
Washington Post's Karen DeYoung.

> Officials arrested Fred Trump after he flew into Prince
George's County from New York in September that year, the Post
reported. The businessman owned a 504-unit complex in the county
called Gregory Estates and was at the property when he was taken
into custody, per the outlet.

several regulations, including violations for broken windows,
defective rain gutters, and a failure to install fire
extinguishers, DeYoung wrote.

> The era that we are experiencing now in the United States, in
which the 2020 nationwide protests for racial equality have been
followed by a well-crafted campaign to misrepresent the
vocabulary and the demands of the protesters, has many parallels
to the distortions of the efforts to achieve racial equality
during the Reconstruction era that followed the Civil War.
>
> The dramatic post-Civil war progress of extending full
citizenship rights to Black people was quickly characterized as
a mistake. Contemporary efforts advocating racial equity have
been inaccurately characterized as “divisive” and unfair to
White Americans.
>
> The Reconstruction period refers to the post-Civil War years
between 1865 and 1877 when the federal government took uniquely
aggressive efforts to repair the divided nation, and to
establish and protect the full citizenship rights of Black
Americans.
> ...
> As recounted in Eric Foner’s landmark 1988 book,
"Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877,"
the backlash by southerners to Reconstruction policies was
immediate.

> Calling themselves Redeemers, the term associated with the
Christian concept of humanity being saved, redeemed, from sin
through the actions of Jesus Christ, they worked to save white
southerners from the “sin” of Reconstruction.
>
> Their efforts gained critical momentum in the early 1870s when
the North became preoccupied with an economic downturn.
>
> Terroristic violence directed at southern Black people and
their white allies, coupled with voting fraud and intimidation,
were common southern resistance strategies.
>
> The Ku Klux Klan which had been established in 1866 in
Tennessee, even before the Reconstruction Act became law, was
soon joined by other terror organizations such as the Knights of
the White Camellia.
> ...
> The stalemated presidential election of 1876 pitting
Rutherford B. Hayes, a Republican from Ohio, against Samuel
Tilden, a Democrat of New York, led to a compromise in Congress
in which it is claimed that in exchange for the presidency,
Hayes agreed that federal troops would cease enforcement of the
Reconstruction Law.
>
> The end of Reconstruction was only the beginning of an effort
to shape the retrospective narrative on Reconstruction as a
corrupt mistake.
>
> This narrative grew in the latter decades of the 1800s as
racial segregation became the law of the South. It was
accompanied by the dominant narrative in the southern press of
Black men as rapists of white women.
>
> This became the justification for hundreds of lynchings that
took place, primarily in the south, over the succeeding decades.
>
> In 1915 D.W. Griffith’s blockbuster film “Birth of a Nation,”
with plot lines of Reconstruction corruption, Black inferiority
and rapaciousness, and with the Ku Klux Klan riding to the
rescue, is credited with inspiring the 1920s revival of the
Klan.
>
> Its new base was in Indiana, reflecting the large number of
anti-Black advocates in the North.
>
> In Reconstruction, Foner notes that by the twentieth century,
the narrative of Reconstruction as a mistaken effort had
attracted northern academics, such as historian William Dunning
of Columbia University, whose interpretation of Reconstruction,
in sympathy to the white southern perspective, influenced
generations of historians.

> The recent distortions of the basic terms used by contemporary
advocates for racial equality, such as critical race theory,
anti-racism, woke, and diversity, equity and inclusion as terms
of divisiveness rather than as concepts associated with the
effort to achieve racial equality, is not happenstance.
>
> A key figure in this well-organized campaign is Christopher
Rufo, a journalist and conservative activist whose 2020 articles
in City Journal, an online journal of the Manhattan Institute,
disparaged federally supported DEI trainings and caught the
attention of Donald Trump and some Republicans.
>
> In a 2021 statement on Twitter, Rufo explained that his goal
regarding the phrase critical race theory was “to have the
public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately
think 'critical race theory.' We have decodified the term and
will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural
constructions that are unpopular with Americans."
>
> When one considers the negative images that the mere mention
of CRT now conjures up for many Americans, Rufo succeeded not
only in “decodifying” critical race theory but also the phrase
diversity, equity and inclusion.

programs in the military, added recently to the federal Defense
Bill now under review in Congress, make this clear.

of Trustees of Florida’s New College, the liberal arts college
that DeSantis has promised to remake as an example of what can
be done in the “state where woke goes to die.”

slowly rising, as the level of overt racism in our culture has
increased, many of us have become desensitized to it.

aggressive, strategic response to the current backlash to racial
equity demands, we could be entering a decades-long period in
which our rights as they relate to racial equity will continue
to be rolled back.

“Why can’t we make New York, for example, white again? Why can’t
we clear out and reclaim Miami?” Barbarossa asked while guest
hosting a different white nationalist podcast in June. “I’m not
saying we need to be 100 percent homogeneous. I’m not saying we
need to be North Korea or Japan or anything like that. A return
to 80 percent, 90 percent white would probably be, probably the
best we could hope for, to some degree.”
After I presented Meyer with evidence that he was Barbarossa, he
admitted the connection and said he has been hiding his online
identity from his colleagues on Trump Force 47, the arm of the
Trump campaign that runs volunteer organizers. “I am glad you
pieced these little clues together like an antifa Nancy Drew,”
he wrote in an email. “It made me realize how draining it has
been having to conceal my true thoughts for as long as I have.”
Meyer is yet another example of fringe politics working its way
into the Trump-era GOP, as far-right groups see the party as the
best tool they have to accomplish their goals.
He explained to me in an email how he felt that his white
nationalist ideas had already permeated the campaign.
“Like the hydra, you can cut off my head and hold it up for the
world to see, but two more will quietly appear and be working in
the shadows,” Meyer wrote. “Slating Trump to speak at [Madison
Square Garden], putting ‘poisoning the blood’ in his speeches,
setting up Odal runes at CPAC, etc. In a few years, one of those
groypers [white supremacists] might even quietly bring me back
in, with a stern warning for me to ‘be more careful next time.’”

But can False Leftist Cousins explain why putting racists into
internment camps would be a bad thing? As for a historical
example of good internment camps as Cousins challenges us to
cite, I would point to those in National Socialist Germany which
functioned in precisely this way.
