跟一些神州才俊的想像不同,白人至上主義的攻擊對象不只是黑人,而是所有有色人種。比如,美國內戰以後興起的三K黨,不只針對黑人,而且也針對猶太人和其他有色人種。1913年,喬治亞州亞特蘭大市一位猶太人Leo Frank被控謀殺,在證據不足的情況下被判死刑,上訴兩年後失敗。1/n
因為審判和定罪過於荒謬,喬治亞州長動用赦免權,免其一死,改罰終身監禁。1915年8月,一群白人武裝劫獄,掠走犯人,將其以私刑處死。事後歹徒無一被起訴。當時,三K黨在美國有400萬黨員,比美國猶太人的數量還多,反猶是其主要使命之一。2/n
1916年,威爾遜總統提名猶太人Brandeis為最高法院法官,招來無數公開的種族主義嘲弄。這些或者毫不掩飾或者以各種高大上理由掩飾的種族主義嘲弄來自法官、律師、國會議員、社會名流,甚至前總統塔夫特。即便在Brandeis法官就任後後,也有同事毫不掩飾對他的種族偏見。3/n
那時候,最高法院的多數法官支持各種形式的種族隔離、支持排華法案,判決南方各州的「隔離但平等」法律符合憲法。歷史證明,Brandeis是位優秀的最高法院法官。白人至上主義和排外主義一向是一體兩面。4/n
二戰前夕,反猶是當時美國社會的政治正確,大批受歐洲法西斯迫害的猶太難民被拒之門外,理由是他們到美國後會替納粹做間諜。看一點歷史,太陽底下無新鮮事。如今川普煽動的種族主義和排外主義在內戰後的美國曾上演過多次,連口號和由頭都大同小異。5/n
如果把川普放到時間機器中,送回二十世紀三十年代,他八成會支持希特勒建集中營,至少是不管不問,只要德國買足大豆。幸運的是,美國的制度足以抵擋各種極端主義;時代總有所進步,社會回到憲法保護的自由平等的正軌不需要再歷經半個世紀之久。6/6
