How the wealthy engineered white supremacy: The Wilmington Massacre of 1898
By Gregory E. Williams
The Wilmington, North Carolina, massacre of 1898, also called a coup, was not a spontaneous eruption of white supremacist violence, but instead came from the top leadership of the Democratic Party and was backed by the rich. The purpose was to drive Black people out of public life and ensure minority rule by wealthy white businessmen. How did they pull this off? Manipulation of the mass media was a principal factor, along with setting up pseudo-grassroots organizations throughout the state. ...
Take the editorial published first in the Progressive Farmer and reprinted in the Charlotte People’s Paper on Nov. 4, just before the election. The article correctly characterizes the Democratic Party’s White Supremacy Campaign as swindling whose real objective was to secure “a legislature which will be the tool of plutocracy – of the moneyed men, and that will give us an election law, whose meaning shall be ‘those who own property must rule.’” Very well, but the author went on to say that among the Democrats there is “not one who is a more earnest advocate of white supremacy than we.” There we have it! Sections of the populist movement attacked the Democrats from the right, attempting to prove that they were the true white supremacists.
This should be familiar to us today. This sort of capitulation happens when sections of the progressive movement adopt transphobic and other reactionary positions. It happens when sections of the progressive movement attack Palestine solidarity, following the lead of the Democratic Party.
