Extremists. Not everything is Black and White

Extremists. Not everything is Black and White

The notion of seeing black and white indicates that a perception is clear, however in society the perception of multiculturalism is very much separated by extremists. The black and white community is just as separated today as it was many years ago. Society is separated by extremists who use tradition, religion and symbols against other cultures. The boundaries of acceptance between the black and white communities are moving further away due to the domination of white supremacy by racial extremists.

Historically, racial extremist organizations were focused around the values of Christianity. This hasn’t changed. America is known as the 'christen' nation, by American extremists. White supremacists living in America believe that they have a special relationship between religion and the laws of the US. These extremists give themselves the divine power from God to punish. Some extremists don’t understand that their actions are wrong, just that they "love God and the white race." Justification is known to come from the bible with verses to justify their actions. From a futuristic utopian perspective, I would like to think that in the future cultures will be accepted and embraced with news ideas and further development of our own cultures. Extremists that follow 'Christen' values state that they can attack, harm and even murder Jews and individuals of color without altering religious beliefs. They rely on what their elder or leader states which to them is accurate information, such as Jews and people of colour having no soul because they are the children of the devil.

Well known extremist organizations and individuals are still existent in the world today. The Ku Klux Klan, Church of the creator and neo Nazi’s are still working to create a society totally dominated by whites, by excluding and denying the rights of non-whites and Jews. Followers of these organizations are told that crime and welfare abuse by African Americans, immigration by Mexicans and Asians, or a fictional Jewish conspiracy are responsible for the decline in the representation of white people. The organization known as KKK evolved from a weak and small organization into a highly developed military group with extensive survivalist training camps often funded by proceeds from counterfeit money and bank and armored car robberies.
Strong extremist organizations such as the KKK have had much political influence over the years. The notion of white supremacy has become a belief in which the United States government is controlled by conspiring groups of foreigners or Jews or a combination of both. Extremists have attempted to avoid the media, as it focuses on their harm and murders and not their own beliefs of white supremacy. The government is said to be supportive through terror and violence, but also are becoming more politically active in order to influence the mainstream politics.

Many of the racial extremist groups such as neo-Nazism and the Ku Klux Klan use many symbols to represent their extremist organizations. The ying and yang to me represented a symbol of living peace between the ‘white’ and ‘black communities, in which both were represented living in harmony. However the perfect accepting community which I knew to be real wasn’t. Symbols for extremist groups represent elements of movement and protest. A protest rally in California where a Nazi flag was suddenly unveiled with the swastika is known as a widely accepted move among the hardcore racists and border vigilantes in America.

This was the symbol of the Ku Klux Klan, in the center is a drawing of a drop of blood. The drop is one of the KKK’s best-known symbols. For Klan members, the drop represents the blood that Jesus Christ shed on the cross as a sacrifice for the white race.

Aryan Nations. This symbol is used by the neo-Nazi Aryan Nations, based in Haden Lake, Idaho. Bryan Nations is one of the nation’s most established extremist groups.

Celtic Cross was originally the symbol for the Celts of ancient Ireland and Scotland. The Celtic cross has been adopted by many American white supremacist groups. This identifier incorporates the white supremacist slogan 'White pride world wide'.

With the advancement of technology and the internet, the formation of racial communities has continued to rise. These virtual communities are very accessible as people are able to walk around at home and connect to any extremist with a click of the mouse. The religious impacts of racial extremists can have huge impacts upon individuals especially people in America, as America is heavily influenced by religion. The mass of extremists using the internet for developing their beliefs has increased their organizations and will continue to influence as it is easily accessible and obtainable.
