White Nationalism And Supremacy Sentiments Rears Its Ugly Head In The Usa Poem by Gayathri Seetharam

White nationalism and supremacy sentiments rears its ugly head in the USA
-Gayathri B. Seetharam
The editorial in today's (Aug 10th,2019)copy of The Globe and Mail is fine
The title, Liberalism is a vaccine against hate, makes one sit up
But I ask of you, dear reader, if it is a foolproof vaccine which will protect us against the outbreak of violence
It will definitely give us immunity against hatred welling up within ourselves;

In the emerging face of Islamic extremism and white nationalism
And excessive Hindu zealotry in India
It is hard for liberalism to combat hatred
By a certain population of the world;

As the editorial in The Globe and Mail implied
There has to be unity in diversity
And said if our diversity is a fact in Canada
Our unity is a practice and an act;

Please do realize that Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf
Which gave rise to anti-Jewish sentiments in the German people
Led to the holocaust that killed six million Jews
And it began as an Aryan nationalistic wave;

I know Pres. Donald Trump has at last spoken against racism
In a prepared speech which did not have the spontaneous ring
That an apology for his past behaviour
And denigration of racism and white supremacy should have;

Americans, please note that racism is wrong
God made or evolution says that the non-white species was created first
And this led to the four first civilizations
And I looked up History website and it said Oldowan stone tools
Dating back nearly 2.6 million years
Were first discovered in Tanzania in the 1930s by archaeologist Louis Leakey;

Despite evidence to the contrary in America which had slavery and segregation
Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence's basis
Was all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
