The browning of America.... a whole'nother greaseball game indeed!
"Mutt" America, The Religio-Racist Right, and Genocide in the Balkans
Michael Sells
July 8, 1999
In Illinois and Indiana, a racist goes on a terror spree, shooting blacks, Jews, and Asians in a declared effort to free White, Christian America from the "mud people" (non-white, non-Christian peoples). In Kosovo, peacekeepers are coming across the horror of the wells: wells in which the bodies of Kosovar Albanian women and girls, who had been held, raped for days or weeks, and tortured by Serb police and paramilitaries, had been thrown. In some cases, forensics experts have shown that the victims were alive when then were thrown into the wells and either drowned or were killed after grenades were thrown in on top of them.
The numbers of atrocity sites in Kosovo run into many hundreds, perhaps thousands, and the war-crimes investigators can only selectively choose certain sites. This is the continuation of a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" that began in 1992 in Bosnia and lasted in that country for three years. In the areas controlled by the Serbian army every mosque and every trace of Bosnian Muslim civilization was eradicated, including hundreds of mosques and monuments and manuscripts dating to the 15th and 16th century and recognized as masterworks of southeast european architecture and heritage.
Those responsible for such atrocities have ingested one of the most virulent forms of racial and religious bigotry I have ever investigated, an ideology that equates both Bosnian Muslims and Kosovar Albanians with Christ-killers, race-traitors, and genetic deformation. I have spent years studying this this ideology of ethnic and religious extermination and how it is based on the manipulation of the mythology of Kosovo /1/.
While anyone with a sense of humanity understands that these two incidents, in Kosovo and in the American mid-west, are intimately related, and that any murder of a person out of ethnic or religious bigotry is a murder of all humanity, the ties between U.S. racist and Christianist groups (those that believe the U.S. is by nature and must always remain a Christian state) and the Belgrade proponents of "ethnic cleansing" are now become increasingly strong.
In the U.S., supporters of Serb nationalist "ethnic cleansers" are writing that the effort to liberate White, Christian America from the the "browning of America" are like the effort of a courageous Christian Serb nation to liberate itself from the bastarization brought by Albanian Muslims.
