……..”Every confrontation between a white officer and a non-white criminal is a potential riot. The process is corrupt because judges, jurors, and politicians know that the mob has a veto over the verdict. The rule of law is dead.

“The answer is separation. Without it, this will never stop.

“The strange reality is that there is almost no difference now between being a notorious white advocate or any white guy. Derek Chauvin went, in just one day, from a heartwarming “softie” who married a Hmong refugee to the embodiment of white supremacy. A few days ago, it was a soldier who stopped a black guy from accosting women. He was chased from his home. Tomorrow it could be you.

“You could try to stop a crime. You could fight back against an assault. Maybe you just look at someone the wrong way. Maybe you do nothing at all. But if you donated $10 to a cause the media don’t like — or even if you didn’t — you could be the mark for the next great hate hoax.

“I write this reluctantly. Many of us become white advocates kicking and screaming, afraid to see the truth. We all get here through experience, usually painful.

“However, no matter how far you run, how earnestly you plead, what you say, or even whom you marry, you will always be white to those with power. That means many despise you. At some point, you must decide to stand or kneel, and a society that kneels before the memory of a George Floyd is not one worth serving or saving.

Dane-Geld

A.D. 980-1016

It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation To call upon a neighbor and to say: —

“We invaded you last night–we are quite prepared to fight, Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane-geld, And the people who ask it explain

That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,     To puff and look important and to say: —     “Though we know we should defeat you,     we have not the time to meet you.      We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane-geld; But we’ve proved it again and again,

That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld

You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,

For fear they should succumb and go astray;

So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,

You will find it better policy to say: —

“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,

No matter how trifling the cost;

For the end of that game is oppression and shame,

And the nation that pays it is lost!”
