A person going by the name Raphael Ezekiel studies the militant white movement. The militant white movement was a movement about white supremacy. It was at least a few decades ago or more, when it occurred. The movement was more noticeable in the south, but was all over. Ezekiel went to the south to study activities conducted under the movement. Will studying the movement he notice why someone might join the movement. The very least white people were losing their jobs to a changing economy. Their jobs started requiring higher skill levels, which non whites/immigrants got. This, with the most likely immigration increase, caused racism to be revived. Initially racism was still alive, but this made the racism even stronger. Groups formed like the KKK, and nazi regime was reviving. Not only were the newly found racists against blacks, but anything non white American from the south. At a parade like event Ezekiel was found out to be a Jew. Their treatment of him did a 180, ignoring his humanity. Well trying to find me to talk to he was called offensive names like “Jew” and “Jewboy”. People at the parade had confederate flags, nazi flags, and even robes. At one point, Ezekiel was called a niggerizer or a niggerizing jew. More or less his study concluded how racism had multiple causes. Their was losing their job, but also wanting to belong. In that area racism was very dominant among whites. Some racists seemed to have those types of views simply to fit in. I have experienced racism before. I lost a friend because of the racist jokes he was constantly making about blacks to me. What was interesting was how they pinned up a confederate flag in the garage. He wasn’t always like this, and I don’t know what happened. I eventually lost contact with him, and so did a friend of mine.
