Our podcast today is titled “The Unintended Consequence of the BLM Marxist Allegation of “White Supremacy.” I am Laurie Thomas Vass, and this podcast is a copyrighted production of the Citizens Liberty Party News Network, for September 28, 2020.
Our podcast examines the use of the allegation of “white supremacy” by BLM Marxists, and its unintended consequence of instigating a class consciousness among White citizens.
We argue that the allegation of “white supremacy” today, plays the same type of political propaganda purpose for Black Marxists as the issue of slavery played during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and then 70 years later, in the first Civil War.
In the early history of the Nation, the term “sectional animosity” was used to describe the two irreconcilable cultures between the commercial North and the agrarian South.
Today, the term sectional animosity between two alien cultures has a historical continuity with the ideological animosity between Marxists and conservatives, not over the credibility of the allegation, but over the stark difference in the mission of America, much like the issue of slavery did then, in the sectional animosity between the North and the South
Slavery, then, served as a convenient ground of dispute between the two alien cultures, in the same way that Marxist white supremacy plays today between the alien cultures of Marxists and natural rights conservatives.
Something real, slavery, then, acted as the precursor agent to solve the historical animosity between North and South, in the same way, today, that something real, racism, acts as the agent to impose Marxism on natural rights conservatives.
Madison attempted to combine two alien cultures under one government, and now, Madison’s flawed arrangement is allowing two distinct ideologies to, once again clash, over the future of the nation.
We argue that Madison did not get the right institutional framework in place to ameliorate the sectional animosity. His grand compromises over slavery, in order to get the new constitution ratified, left the issue of slavery to fester, before the start of the Civil War, and after the Civil War ended.
When the 38 elites (one delegate signed twice, once for himself, and once for his buddy, who could not make it to Philadelphia that day), walked out of the Convention, on September 17, 1787, they knew that their compromises on slavery would lead to Civil War.
We agree with Ta Nehisi Coates, a Black Marxist writer at The Atlantic, who claims that the Civil War did not solve the issues of sectional or ideological animosity.
Coates argues that the Civil War solved nothing, and, therefore, that reparations are due to Black people for the ensuing racism, after the War ended.
In contrast to Coates’ conclusion about reparations, we argue that the conclusion of the Civil War did not provide the common cultural or moral values that bound the citizens together into a shared national mission of individual liberty because Madison’s constitution was not a moral document, but rather a legal framework of economic and financial civil rules of procedure.
We argue that the genesis of modern racism in America is not 1619, and that the ensuing racism is not due to white supremacy.
The modern version of racism began with the globalism of the large corporations, around 1985.

As in 1787, and later in 1860, there are now two distinct cultures, and two different nations in America.
As the British observer in America noted, in 1860, there were two nations operating under one government. The British observer stated:
“In order to master the difficulties of American politics, it will be very important to realize the fact that we have to consider, not the
