Khaled Nabhan lost the soul of his soul Reem, because of those terrorists.

We'll never forgive those monsters.

White terrors are an extinct species of lycans belonging to the homolupus genus, particularly known for their unpredictable and aggressive temperament, as well as for their often white or light gray fur, which allows them to disappear completely in the snow.

White Terrors are instantly recognizable when compared to other werewolves due to their long snout that resembles that of a borzoi and their dense, wavy fur. Usually the ears, being sensitive to the cold, are kept folded and carefully hidden in the thick mane.

Princeton University professor of African-American studies Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor tied recent racially-charged events into her presentation at the 12th annual Anne Braden Memorial Lecture in Middleton Auditorium. Her Nov. 1 speech landed on the same week as high-profile mail-bomb attempts, the Pittsburgh synagogue mass shooting and Louisville’s race killings. She spoke about these incidents, the rise of “white terror,” the intertwining nature of capitalism and racism and the role that activist movements play in political change.

Kamala Harris was the reciepient of on of the 13 mail bombs mentioened here. I am an old white guy. I suspect that it's harder for white people like me to spot and piece together "white terror." We ignore it at our peril.

Summary copied from the source follows 

The Rosewood Massacre was an attack on the predominantly African American town of Rosewood, Florida, in 1923 by large groups of white aggressors. The town was entirely destroyed by the end of the violence, and the residents were driven out permanently. The story was mostly forgotten until the 1980s, when it was revived and brought to public attention.

One thing I find interesting about The Terror's cult following is that, on the face of it, the audience that is attached to the show is not at all what I imagine people assumed when it was released.

Like, this a show specifically about history and the military/the navy, with a cast that is 95% white guys. Even with the horror elements, I kind of imagine AMC executives might've thought it would do well with the 'Dad' audience, or people who like stuff like Band of Brothers. (Tobias Menzies' latest show, Manhunt, is in this category, and I don't think it's entirely coincidental that he & Ciarán Hinds were also big main characters on HBO's Rome, something that also fits this niche.)

And instead, it seems like it was mainly embraced by a younger audience (something Jared Harris himself noticed), specifically one that's probably a lot more queer/non-masculine than might have been expected.

I'm sure there are people out there with much more astute analysis than me on why that is, but I wonder if a lot of it is simply down to tone. This isn't a show about the glory of the military or a patriotic mission, or even about men being noble/tough in the face of an ultimately tragic ending.

It's about how all that shit falls apart when it comes to push comes to shove, and how sometimes things that are framed as glorious are actually a pointless fucking tragedy on behalf of an empire that kept chugging right along without them. And the only thing to show for it is the bonds these people formed before they died.

Ron Carter - Emmett's Ghost - from Dear America by Eric Bibb - #roncarterbassist

Ron Carter Bassist

There are genuine connections and there's apophenia. A random connection is that I was born in the same year that Emmett Till was brutally murdered, It's the same year that the Reverend George W. Lee was murdered. Emmett Till's mother was influenced to have an open casket by Rev. Lee's wife decision to have an open casket. Those are genuine connections.

Hearing this song my random connection to Emmett Till makes the imagery in the song of his ghost still wandering vivid to me.

I saw the collaboration of Ron Carter with Eugene McDaniels, and the song Reverend Lee, which Roberta Flack performs on her second album. I confused Eugene McDaniels with William S. Fischer, someone who Ron Carter also collaborated with on the album Circles. Fischer was born in Mississippi and almost certainly knew about the Reverend George W. Lee's murder. I do not think there is a connection between Rev. George Lee and the Reverend Lee in McDaniels' song. However there's a vividness in the imagery in the song as a dream in the way that dreams are especially vivid.

I still posted the Zinn Education article on The Reverned George W. Lee's murder, because I was so moved by Diane McWorter's recent essay in The Guardian. The spector of white terror is haunting. We live with ghosts.

Danny was livid.

The Guys In White had been following Phantom around constantly and while they weren't much of a threat, they were a massive nuisance. They had shot him down on Thursday and caused him to crash into some poor kids birthday cake in the park.

On Friday they had accidentally released ghost rats into the school.

On Saturday they had somehow managed to turn Paulinas hair ectoplasm green. She refused to leave her bedroom until it was reversed

On Sunday they tried to commandeer his parents GAV and earned the ire of his mom. They found out exactly why that was a bad idea.

On Monday they bardged into Danny's classroom, interrupting his math test because they were looking for a ghost parrot. It was mostly harmless but kept insulting them in a cheery tone. Danny decided he liked that bird.

We won't speak about what happened on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, he scowled at an agent that had accidentally blasted him and his friends with liquid ectoplasm while they were sitting and eating lunch. It was then that Danny began plotting his revenge.

That night he when ghost and lead the GIW on a while goose chase. Did danny take them across state lines? Yes. Did he manage to pull a massive following of these creeps? Also yes.

Did he plan for his target-the guy he had been leading them to- to already be in cuffs when he arrived in Gotham? No. Not at all.

"Hey, uh..." the words died on his tongue as Batman- The Batman- turned to him with narrowed eyes. Mustering his will, he started again, "Could you let him out? Just for a little bit?"

"No."

"Aw, Cmon!"

Condiment King began raving about something, but Danny didn't particularly care to pay attention. "If you're not going to let him out, then can you at least call the rest of the paw patrol? I wanna ask if they wanna throw mud at evil secret organization people. For enrichment." Danny gave his best, most cheeky smile for extra measure.

"Hn."
