Why is the U.S so fascist?

Explains Why prominent genealogist Henry Louis Gates conducted one of the widest genetic surveys of African Americans in collaboration with a number of DNA labs and found
58 percent of African Americans have at least 12.5% European ancestry (equivalent of one great-grandparent);
19.6 percent of African Americans have at least 25% European ancestry (equivalent of one grandparent);
1 percent of African Americans have at least 50% European ancestry (equivalent of one parent) (Gates is one of these, he discovered, having a total of 51% European ancestry among various distant ancestors);
The 1% represents recent interaction but the other 78% of African Americans are descended from not just one but multiple rapes.

That I'm afraid is a non-sequitur, The miniscule numbers of black slave holders were still subject to US constitution pre-1880s which was written by the founding fathers which allowed for free black men and their families living in the south to be kidnapped and sold into slavery themselves (needless to say these black entrepreneurs were armed to the teeth). If they lived in the north they could still be transported south or arrested without court or trial. They lived a precarious existence, For the vast majority of blacks they were subject to any random cruelty from any member of the citizenry (whom I understand enthusiastically metered out this out right up to the 1960s), One only has to look at the photos of white mobs made up of Europeans of all background (probably including recent migrants and even Jews) who seem to be driven by some type of psychopathic zeal when they screamed violence at small black children who were permitted to enter white schools, or black women who wanted to sit at the front of the bus, buy property in a white neighborhood or eat at a white's only diner, The images of police with dogs attacking young black people in the 1960s is a mirror image of the Gestapo using dogs to attack jews who dared walk on the wrong side of the street. Their children and grandchildren who are still alive today can't have forgotten their parent's language,

And even in Jim Crow era ironically needed the protection of other white people if they were asked to enter white towns to purchase goods to avoid being accosted. This is literally why the NACCP and the civil rights movement started due to fear that existed and the ever impending threat that any economic gain made could be pillaged or plundered by a white mob.

If thats not fascist I don't know what is?

It seems like you are ignoring the census data. There were many black slave owners. There were many free black people. At least more than you are representing in your non-first-hand experience account. I generally focus on things that are first hand because the rest is generally suspect.

Why does this matter anyway? Why the obsession with numbers? This is a typical management-type tactic for discouraging somebody with a good argument to present, by insisting they provide numbers they don't have. Anyway this thread isn't about the history of race relations, it's about fascism.

Some interesting intellectual input on the matter
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ ... egal-phase

From it's inception by the founding fathers -in the history of US racism, fascist practices – those practices legally enabled a a number of fascist social and political movements in the United States.

It should be relevant they also enabled fascist practices in the rest of the world in the early 20th century,.

Why even apply the word fascist to it? It is utterly ridiculous. It looks like circle jerk of morons to me. It is either a circle jerk of morons or the fourth turning IMHO.

] The Guardian article addresses that by pointing out that Fascist leaders have not necessarily been committed racists or antisemitism, but have used those varieties of prejudice as stepping stones to power.

AKA fascist practices

Trump would have fulfilled the manifesto underwritten by his political mentor (the openly fascist Steve Bannon) had he overthrown democracy on Jan 6 and reinstated himself in power. A number of fascist leaders strong armed their way into power with a mix of fabricated pretexts (Trump used fake ballots) + using thugs to intimidate (Trump enabled the use of militia and other far right groups at his rallies).

I also find it interesting that many Social Scientists think that America rejected Fascism during The Great Depression because Jim Crow and the Immigration Act of 1924 made Fascism seem unnecessary; America didn't need what it essentially already had and that was a safety valve as one writer put it.

They were right that facism would come wrapped in the american flag idk who they is exactly in this context but someone said it and seems like they weren't wrong.

There is an anarchy in the U.K song, so where is the Fascism in the U.S.A song? I know though it is the christofasicts making things this way, hopefully they loose hardcore in the 2024 election.

Bingo!

Or to put it another way, the student can't really teach the master any new tricks.
The US had 400 years to perfect Jim Crow, the IQ bell curve, eugenics and several mindless cults

Think about it. What could the Nazis have taught the Americans,

. Around that time, the Swedish sociologist Gunnar Mayardahl would pretend to be ignorant of U.S. customs and "innocently" compare our racial attitudes to those of immediate prewar Germany's (Hitler was already becoming unpopular here) when interviewing average Americans, and was often met with stammering and tepid arguments that we were somehow different....

I think there is some paranoia fed by conservative politicians and think tanks that exposing actual history to white kids at school is detrimental to their self-esteem.

The underlying principle here is no different to 1980s when conservative christian parents were actual doing the same thing to school boards who allowed the teaching of biological evolution in their kid's classrooms.

The former was thought to undermine their children's literal belief in the bible, anti-CRT is mean't to hide America's fascist roots.

There are two levels here. One is like a slide show where the teacher shows images of slaves. The republican party wants teachers to say slavery and Jim crow existed but was a benign institution and hey! other countries did that too.
