Is white supremacy in the US on the cusp of a renaissance?

January 28, 2013 by Rupinder Mohan Singh

On truthdig, Chris Hedges examines the “disquieting renaissance” of white supremacy in the southern United States (via @jakaramovement): The steady rise of ethnic nationalism over the past decade, the replacing of history with mendacious and sanitized versions of lost glory, is part of the moral decay that infects a dying culture.

November 28, 2012 by Rupinder Mohan Singh

Arno Michaelis, a reformed white supremacist and author of the book My Life After Hate, comments on speaking at an event held last week hosted by the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin: “There certainly is a lot of compelling discussion to be had about who I was and who I could have become, and I’m happy to talk about that, but tonight’s not about me — it’s about the principles of Heritage Day and of human beings appreciating the differences that we […]
