The Founding Fathers were white nationalist terrorists.
Until we reckon with that fact we will never be able to move forward.

Let’s break this apart a bit.
The Founding Fathers were nationalists in that they wanted to create a new nation independent from Great Britain.
They were also all white men—not by accident but by design. They wanted to create a white nation.

Now let’s get to the terrorism part.
One major obstacle to the creation of a white nation were the millions of indigenous people already living on the land that the Founding Fathers wanted to turn into a white nation.
The result was genocide—terrorism to the extreme.

The Founding Fathers also relied on enslaved African people to create wealth for white people.
Enslavement included (among many other dehumanizing practices) torture, rape and the denial of basic freedoms.
This is terrorism.

Our country was founded by white nationalist terrorists and they never went away.
Also white nationalism cannot exist without terrorism so white nationalist terrorism is redundant.
