Trump Is Fuelling The Rise Of White Fright

It seems forever ago that Justin Trudeau made the world swoon by matter-of-facting that his cabinet would be gender-balanced and racially diverse "because it's 2015."
Unfortunately, now it's 2016.
Donald Trump's apocalyptic acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland was easily the scariest political event I've ever witnessed outside of 1930s newsreels. As CNN's Anderson Cooper summed up: "He painted a dark and frightening picture of America, he talked about people being attacked by criminals, attacked by terrorists, betrayed by their leaders, the game is fixed. And he said he can be their voice."
Ah, but not everyone's voice.
If the lack of melanin in the crowd wasn't enough of a clue, the racially charged subtext rose to the surface when he couldn't help but use the term "them" when discussing "inner cities." Or when he warned of 180,000 illegal immigrants "tonight roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens" and of more "being released by the tens of thousands into our communities with no regard for the impact on public safety."
The thing about this tactic... is that it captures (and, yes, fuels) the zeitgeist of white America.
Or when, after yet another string of police shootings of unarmed black men, most recently a therapist lying on the ground with his hands up, Trump promised to restore law and order, to "liberate our citizens from the crime and terrorism and lawlessness."
The thing about this tactic -- a far cry from conservative saint Ronald Reagan's inspirational "shining city on a hill" much less Obama's hope and change optimism -- is that it captures (and, yes, fuels) the zeitgeist of white America.
See, it doesn't matter that crime is still at historic lows, or that there are fewer wars now than ever before, or even that terrorism is down from the heights of the 1970s -- a historian and former military intelligence officer reminded me last fall that we are living in the safest time in human history.
What matters is that people feel that it's not safe.
That is what years of similarly apocalyptic warnings by Fox News, talk radio like Rush Limbaugh and online outlets like Breitbart and The Rebel hath wrought.
Trump's warning of Hillary Clinton's legacy of "death, destruction, terrorism and weakness" comes on the heels of earlier RNC speeches by far-right radio host Laura Ingraham appearing to seig heil to a jumbotron image of Trump making the same gesture (and not for the first time); former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani shrieking about refugees; New Jersey governor Chris Christie leading a witch hunt against Hillary Clinton, complete with chants of "guilty" and "lock her up;" and a sheriff who blasted Black Lives Matter for promoting anarchy, which was a slight step back from his recent op-ed declaring BLM "the enemy" and accusing them of fomenting revolution.
Then there was Newt Gingrich's claim that "we are sleepwalking through history as though this is all about politics. It is not. It is about our safety and our survival as a country. And this is why every American should be terrified at the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency."
And this tweet by former KKK grand wizard David Duke:
Great Trump Speech, America First! Stop Wars! Defeat the Corrupt elites! Protect our Borders!, Fair Trade! Couldn't have said it better!
— David Duke (@DrDavidDuke) July 22, 2016
This fear and loathing isn't relegated to the Republicans, of course. Though this rise of white fright in America began in the wake of Obama's election, where it was directed into the Tea Party, it has been permeating the western world.
It ties into the online hate-mongering that got professional troll Milo Yiannopoulos banned from Twitter this week for inciting a racist and misogynistic cybermob against Saturday Night Live actress Leslie Jones for daring to star in a female-fronted Ghostbusters reboot.
Not to mention the oft-racist and misogynistic Gamergate movement that has plagued the video game community for the past couple years because SJWs (a.k.a. social justice warriors) dared call for game characters to offer more diversity than white males. And Men's Rights Activist counterparts harassing women online in a concerted effort to drive them off.
Consider the anti-black backlash after after BLM - Toronto protested at the Pride Parade, and all the ad hominem attacks against Black Lives Matter, calling them "terrorists" for daring to ask not to be racially profiled and killed by the state.
Or transgender bathroom fears being stirred up in southern U.S. states and the Catholic school system in Canada's prairies. Or Stephen Harper's attempt to cynically gin up Islamophobia with a niqab ban, a "barbaric cultural practice" snitch line and terror attack warnings during last fall's Canadian election.
And, of course, the recent Brexit vote which was fuelled by anti-immigrant sentiment, especially given the possibility of Turkey joining the EU, and sparked a surge in hate crimes. Not to mention the rise of anti-immigrant far-right political parties across Europe, led by the likes of France's ultra-nationalist Front National and Britain's UKIP.
What ties all these racist, xenophobic, misogynistic and anti-LGBT attitudes together is progress, or rather the fear of it.
A summer like we've been having makes it seem like the world is moving backwards, but that's actually because progress has been moving fast enough to spark a frightened backlash and social media has given everyone a megaphone.
Western society has been dominated by white men for so long that moves being made to increase diversity and inclusion are frightening to those who have always had power, and some are worried about what having to share it will mean for them.

When Trump says that Obama "has used the pulpit of the presidency to divide us by race and colour [and] has made America a more dangerous environment for everyone," he's echoing those spouting the cynical All Lives Matter slogan and those who accuse everyone who mentions privilege and discrimination of pulling the race card.
But the "great" America that Trump wants to bring back was never great for everyone.
As Jon Stewart said on Stephen Colbert's live show after the speech: "You've got a problem with those Americans fighting for their place at the table. You got a problem with them because you feel like -- what's Rep. Steve King's word for it? -- subgroups of America are being divisive. If you have a problem with that then take it up with the founders. We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal.
"Those fighting to be included in the ideal of equality are not being divisive," he added. "Those fighting to keep those people out are."
Here's the thing to remember, though. While much of this backlash is fomented by the alt-right -- a catch-all for the radical misogynistic, anti-LGBT, anti-semitic, anti-immigrant, Islamophobic and white nationalist groups that have been coalescing online over the past decade -- a lot of it is just from scared white folks.
Nobody wants to lose what they have, especially those in the middle and lower classes who already have so little, even if they're white. They've been hit hard by the Great Recession and income inequality, too. These people are not evil, they're being frightened and the way to fight back is not to attack them, but by assuaging their fears to remind them that inclusivity includes them.
Social media makes it hard to tell sometimes, but even having these conversations is evidence of progress. It is being made, and rapidly. That's why the backlash has been so severe. Standing up for your rights is always more dangerous than not, but that's how you win those rights.
As Obama likes to say, quoting Martin Luther King Jr., "the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice."
This white fright around the western world has been sparked by a black president, the war on terror and the growing refugee crisis, but examined on a macro level this is really about changing demographics in a society where people of all colours, genders, orientations and beliefs are demanding real equality, not just theoretical.
And that change is not just going to come -- it is coming. Not even Trump's wall can hold it back.

The UK's very own Donald Trump is, beyond doubt, Nigel Farage. The leader of the populist UK Independence party (UKIP) relishes in his politically incorrect, beer-swilling, cigar-smoking persona. Avowedly anti-establishment and a privately-educated businessman, he knows that many compare him to The Donald. With a referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union looming, he could have more influence than ever. -- Paul Waugh
Right-wing Congressman Jair Bolsonaro has left a huge mark on Brazil's political scene. Bolsonaro is one of Brazil's most controversial characters: Military reserve, dictatorship enthusiast, bullet caucus member and "traditional" family defender, he fights mainly against Brazil's minority groups, including gays, women and black people. In Brazil's Chamber of Deputies since 1990, Bolsonaro rails against gay marriage, believes that women's salaries should be lower than men's salaries, and is against affirmative action and the legalization of marijuana. -- Grasielle Castro, reporter, HuffPost Brazil
Like Trump, Doug Ford's political ambitions are fuelled by a potent combination of anti-intellectual populism and seemingly delusional promises. The Ford brothers had a well-publicized fight with beloved Canadian author Margaret Atwood about cuts to the city's libraries. He fought against a group home for developmentally-challenged children in his ward calling it a 'nightmare'. Trump has his border wall and Doug Ford has his waterfront monorail. Trump pays for supporters to show up at his events, Doug Ford hands out $20 bills while canvassing in an affordable housing block. -- Ron Nurwisah, Social media editor, HuffPost Canada
Joachim Herrmann, Bavarian Interior Minister, is never ashamed of a populist comment. He hit a low about a week ago when, during a television talk-show, he referred to Roberto Blanco, a German pop-singer of Afro-Cuban descent, as having "always been a wonderful Negro, adored by most Germans." He insists he didn't mean to sound derogatory. Yet, the word "Negro" is still an insult for people with darker skin — and therefore, isn't a word that's easily justified in conversation. Especially among politicians. What else is Herrmann famous for? A tough policy against refugees and immigrants. That's it, actually. -- Jan David Sutthoff and Christoph Asche, HuffPost Germany
Clive Palmer is a Rolls Royce driving, dinosaur theme park owning, mining magnate -- and the man behind a wholly unsolicited plan to launch a Titanic 2 replica -- who twerked his way into politics in the 2013 federal election. Under the banner of the Palmer United Party, he secured the balance of power by bringing three senators with him, including a retired football legend nicknamed, "The Brick with Eyes" and a Tasmanian Army veteran who revealed her ideal man was endowed with a bulging wallet and trousers. But the PUPs are no longer "united." Palmer has lost two senators, had a senior adviser caught up in a weird alleged kidnapping case, attracted unwanted scrutiny of his business affairs, was spotted asleep in Parliament, and became an interview talent more likely to walk out in a huff than not. Despite all this, Palmer says he is not giving up politics, and that he would take part in the next election. -- Karen Barlow, Politics editor, HuffPost Australia
As Frank Bruni wrote in the New York Times, Italy had its own Donald Trump far before the American Donald Trump: we're talking about Silvio Berlusconi, the man who ruled Italy for about nine years – but dominated Italian politics for at least 20. Similarities between the two span from wealth, to style of communication, to Casanova-like behaviors. In 1994, when Silvio Berlusconi decided to enter the political arena, one of his main arguments was very reminiscent of Trump: "I don't need anyone's money. I've got my own money, I'm very rich, really really rich." -- Giulia Belardelli, Editor HuffPost Italy
Now that Berlusconi has become a somewhat marginal figure in politics, the new "Italian Trump" is Beppe Grillo, leader of the populist Five Star Movement. He is also a comedian, actor, blogger and political activist. Like Trump, Grillo came into the political arena as an outsider, altering the traditional relationship between politicians and voters. His communication style is informal, vulgar at times, and very loud. He shows off his "outsider" status any chance he can. Both Grillo and Trump present themselves as alternatives to traditional politicians; and their political views are often very extreme. They share the same confidence under the spotlight, and they both bully journalists. -- Giulia Belardelli, Editor HuffPost Italy
We don't really have a particular politician like Donald Trump in South Korea. We once had an interesting politician -- more of a comical figure -- in our presidential election back in 2007. Huh Kyung-young, leader of his own Democratic Republican Party actually ran for president, and lost. He's a bit of an odd one who once claimed to have an IQ of 430. While campaigning he proclaimed: "I can change 23 chromosomes and 40,000 DNA in the human body. If someone is diagnosed with uterine cancer, I can treat the cancer within 0.1 seconds just by looking into the patient's eyes." His campaign pledges were also quite crazy, like granting 100 million won to every single couple getting married. He also wanted to move the UN headquarters from NYC to DMZ (Korean Demilitarized Zone), in a town between North Korea and South Korea. Yes. He is that crazy. But he was oddly popular among Korean voters during the election; the press called it 'Huh Kyung-young syndrome'. Of course he didn't win the election but he earned nearly 100,000 votes, which is insanely huge. The driving reason behind his popularity was simple: people wanted to express their frustration with the country's politics. Huh was jailed in 2009 for 18 months on charges of defamation, after claiming Park Geun-hye, President of South Korea, would marry him. Today he is all but forgotten in Korean politics, but people still remember his name because he once was a symbol of the public's sarcastic response to South Korean politics. -- Dohoon Kim, HuffPost Korea
Heinz-Christian Strache, Chairman of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) says utterly absurd things, often rendering Donald Trump's statements inferior. A few examples? "Putin is, with certainty, a true Democrat, but with an authoritarian style." Or: "Do you know, what foot-and-mouth disease is? It's when East-European workers come to work in the West: they show up and gripe, and when they can't work, they steal." Strache understands populism. And he attracts a terrifying number of Austrians. If things take a bad turn, he'll soon govern in Wien as the new Mayor. And, if recent polls are any indication, the odds are he'll eject the reigning Social Democrats from city-hall. Incidentally, he refers to his political movement as the "Fight for Wien." -- Jan David Sutthoff and Christoph Asche, HuffPost Germany
The Editor-in-Chief of the right-wing conservative "Weltwoche" magazine scatters crass sound-bites on-air whenever he's given the opportunity. Köppel demands, quite openly, that the "death-channel" which the "Muslim masses" use to travel to Europe, be sealed. And: "We can't take in all of Africa." Yet, in contrast to some other right-wing populists, Köppel isn't dumb; in fact, he's highly intelligent. He is a seasoned journalist, and knows how to construct his messages in a way to best reach his target audience. He makes headlines — as a journalist — and now, as a wanna-be politician. Even in Germany, he's a highly popular guest on talk-shows. -- Jan David Sutthoff and Christoph Asche, HuffPost Germany

The millionaire heir to the MFI fortune is drawing up plans to introduce bears and wolves on to his Scotland estate, in an attempt to create a wildneress reserve for animals wiped out centuries ago.
Paul Lister is hoping to build a wildlife reserve that will introduce wolves, bears, elk and boar onto his Alladale estate on an initially temporary trial basis, despite facing opposition from some groups.
Speaking to BBC Scotland, he said said after a feasibility study, he hoped to fence off 50,000 acres and bring back wolves and bears into his sprawling Sutherland estate.
"We'll assess the socio-economic impact that will have and also the environmental impact. The presence of these large predators really changes the landscape for the benefit of nature", he said.
"We're talking about maybe two packs of 10 wolves, maybe a dozen bears. These animals create the environment. It's not humans who create the environment, it's nature."
Some farmers and walkers are none to happy with the scheme though, which could prove difficult considering wolves have not present in Britain since becoming extinct in the eighteenth century, and brown bears disappeared centuries ago.

Her behavior is bizarre, perhaps mad: she poisons the dog's milk and advises the dog not to drink it; she sets the sheets afire as her husband sleeps; she crawls under the dining table to sing. While detained at airport customs for carrying pruning shears, she meets a young Yugoslav woman and goes with her to a Gypsy enclave where she's fought over, takes a lover, helps with the sordid entertainment at a bar, and returns home more dangerous than before. The film also tells parallel stories of Marilyn's daughter becoming a junior homemaker as the young immigrant practices her striptease. links delete

Read to your children to nurture relationships, language and literacy skills
Experience is great, whether they're being read to
It's OK to chomp and drool on books, and skip pages. Just don't leave them unread.
Read to your infant, says the American Academy of Pediatrics in a newly released policy statement. Perhaps this sounds like a no-brainer if you are a librarian, teacher or parent who read to your child in the womb. The medical field, more likely to focus on bodily concerns like shots and vitamins, has taken longer to officially endorse the practice, and now recommends that pediatricians encourage parents to read daily to their infants.
The practice is not meant to turn babies into itty-bitty Einsteins. Research shows that reading aloud exposes children to language and literacy skills, and nurtures relationships. Or, in less scientific talk, the academy says that by being read to, babies and toddlers learn to read, write, talk, and bond with mom/dad/grandpa/big sister/whomever.
Even if your baby is just gurgling or chewing on a book's pages, "a shared reading experience is causing a young child's brain to develop," said Charlotte Burrows, Children's and Young Adult Services Supervisor at the Thousand Oaks Library, which offers a weekly "Babies and Books" story time.
"A young child sitting on mom's lap feels content, and the rocking, touching, talking and smelling affect the limbic system and brain chemistry," Burrows said.
She recommends board books with sturdy pages that infants can hold and chew on; books with rhymes; books with brightly colored illustrations or images of other babies; and books with pictures of familiar items like bottles and balls.
But don't stop there, and don't get hung up on what to read, Burrows said. "A parent in school could even read a textbook. What's important is the fact that you're reading, and sharing enjoyment."
And forget about the clock. A few minutes of reading is OK. The story times at the library last only 15 minutes (or less), followed by play time.
Enjoyment for baby, although maybe not so at first for parents who are introverts, involves more than just reading words.
Ask questions about the pictures and story. Let kids turn the pages, even if they skip a few. Get excited! Sing! Dance! Play music! Bounce! Use hand gestures! Create silly voices and sounds! Have a conversation!
So yes, reading to baby is a good thing. But as best-selling picture-book author Mem Fox says in her "10 Read-Aloud Commandments" (http://memfox.com/for-parents/):
"Please read aloud every day because you just adore being with your child, not because it's the right thing to do."
The AAP's article "Literacy Promotion: An Essential Component of Primary Care Pediatric Practice," published in the August issues of "Pediatrics," is available online at http://bit.ly/TYTKte.
The Thousand Oaks Library hosts a "Babies and Books" story time, followed by play time, for infants up to 2 and their caregivers at 10:30 a.m. Thursdays through July 31. The library's Newbury Park branch offers a Baby/Toddler Story Time for children up to 3 and caregivers at 10:30 a.m. Thursdays through Aug. 7. Other local libraries offer infant/caregiver story times as well, including the Foster Library (Lapsit for babies up to 18 months at 10:30 a.m. the second and fourth Monday of each month), South Oxnard Library (Baby/Toddler Story Time for ages up to 3 at 11 a.m. Mondays) and Simi Valley Library (Tiny Tots at 10 a.m. Mondays).
An excellent source for information about reading to infants is available from the organization Zero to Three at bit.ly/1mBOng2.
