His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"jsmall":{"type":"authors","id":"6625","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"6625","found":true},"name":"Julie Small","firstName":"Julie","lastName":"Small","slug":"jsmall","email":"jsmall@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"KQED Contributor","bio":"Julie Small reports on criminal justice and immigration.\r\n\r\nShe was part of a team at KQED awarded a regional 2019 Edward R.

Once an aspiring rapper and movie star, Minadeo began building an online following through GoyimTV, a business he described as “informative educational entertainment” in papers filed with the state in 2021. The channel has thousands of followers on Gab, a social media app popular with white nationalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minadeo, 40, increasingly preaches antisemitism in public, too. The banner on the 405 was just one of several recent exploits he used to drive more people to GoyimTV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Minadeo attracted international attention when he traveled to Poland, where he was arrested at Auschwitz, the death camp where Nazis killed more than 1.1 million Jewish people. Beside him was Robert Wilson, a frequent public stunt partner who refers to himself as Aryan Bacon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://gab.com/HandsomeTruth/posts/108898845307282314\">photo posted to Gab\u003c/a>, Wilson smiles and Minadeo smirks as he holds up a sign attacking Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, an anti-hate organization dedicated to combating the denigration of Jewish people. According to reporting by Gabe Stutman, news editor of the Jewish News of Northern California, after the stunt Minadeo \u003ca href=\"https://jweekly.com/2022/09/04/polish-police-arrest-minadeo-during-white-supremacist-tour-of-europe/\">ranted that the Holocaust was a “f---ing hoax” and referred to the ADL as “an anti white terrorist organization” on Gab\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Social media has provided the perfect conditions for a surge of antisemitism. Minadeo is a player in a world of far-right influencers who spread hatred of Jews and other extreme ideology on the internet, like Nick Fuentes, the Holocaust denier who \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/28/us/politics/trump-kanye-west-nick-fuentes-antisemitism.html\">had dinner with Ye and former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in November\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the pandemic, Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent far-right politician, \u003ca class=\"c-link\" href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/21/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-mask-mandates-holocaust/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/21/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-mask-mandates-holocaust/index.html\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">compared a mask mandate to restrictions Nazis imposed on Jews during the Holocaust\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to an ADL \u003ca href=\"https://www.adl.org/resources/report/antisemitic-attitudes-america-topline-findings\"> survey of Americans published last month\u003c/a>, more than three-quarters — 85% — believe at least one anti-Jewish trope, such as Jewish people “stick together,” don’t share American values and hold too much power and influence in the world. That’s up 24 percentage points from three years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These sentiments are echoed in another antisemitic notion: that a secret cabal of Jewish people controls the world, a belief widely shared by adherents of the QAnon conspiracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Goyim Defense League’s network is relatively small compared to those of other extremist groups in the United States, but people who monitor extremism say aggressive harassment of Jews and the perpetuation of the \"great replacement theory\" — a racist, conspiratorial narrative that white populations are covertly being replaced — has emboldened white supremacists and neo-Nazis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Stephen Piggott, researcher of white nationalism and antidemocracy groups, Western States Center\"]'There's no question that hate speech leads to an increase in hate violence ... The GDL are not simply these keyboard warriors. They're often engaging in real-world bigotry and threatening behavior.'[/pullquote]The Bay Area is where Minadeo began spreading neo-Nazi propaganda, by placing antisemitic flyers on car windshields and driveways in Santa Rosa, Novato, Petaluma, Oakland and Berkeley, among other cities. In the past year, thousands of flyers linked to the Goyim Defense League and containing conspiracy theories have appeared across the country, from California to Minnesota to Wisconsin and to Florida, where Minadeo is currently agitating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Berkeley yoga studio owner’s effort to spread awareness about Minadeo may have contributed to why Minadeo left the Bay Area late last year. Nothing, though, has stopped him from spreading hate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minadeo typically starts his livestreams by proclaiming, “Let’s expose these Jewish lies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one recent broadcast, Minadeo sported a white linen jacket, sunglasses and a gold chain with a swastika pendant. He raised his right, outstretched arm with the palm of his hand flat and pointed downward. The salute is arguably the most recognizable — and appropriated — symbol of Nazism besides the swastika, an ancient religious symbol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shock-jock broadcasts include antisemitic diatribes, racist memes and mash-ups of footage of the Third Reich, the Nazi regime that purposefully guided the genocide of 6 million Jewish people. Minadeo also baits young people on platforms like Omegle by engaging Jewish, LGBTQ or BIPOC teenagers in conversation by pretending to accept them before shouting racist, homophobic insults until they exit the chat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internet service providers have tried to curb GoyimTV’s reach. The channel has been kicked off the internet several times, but each time, streaming resumed on a new server within a matter of days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minadeo reads viewer comments from people who donate, raising hundreds of dollars during each livestream, and has extended his reach by encouraging followers to distribute antisemitic flyers, which can be downloaded from his site for free. Some of the flyers feature Jewish politicians and business leaders with the Star of David emblazoned on their foreheads, a crude reminder of the dehumanizing persecution of Jewish people who were forced to wear identifying badges during the Holocaust. “These flyers were distributed randomly without malicious intent,” a disclaimer at the bottom of the flyers reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minadeo instructs viewers on how to clandestinely distribute the flyers and promises a free T-shirt to anyone who gets news coverage for their flyer drops. He shares videos from those who spread hate, including one that shows a person driving around an unidentified neighborhood while tossing flyers onto lawns. Another appears to be taken by a woman as she walks through a parking lot, placing flyers on car windshields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11940816\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11940816\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/ADL-Teresa-Drenick.jpg\" alt=\"middle-aged white woman with blonde hair sits at a desk looking intently into her laptop\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/ADL-Teresa-Drenick.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/ADL-Teresa-Drenick-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/ADL-Teresa-Drenick-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/ADL-Teresa-Drenick-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/ADL-Teresa-Drenick-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teresa Drenick, deputy regional director for the Central Pacific Region for the Anti-Defamation League, in her office. \u003ccite>(Monica Lam/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The ADL has closely monitored the flyering incidents.

Do your jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2020, after a man put up dozens of stickers in downtown Fairfax of a large black swastika and the words, “We are everywhere,” Mark Solomons helped form the group Name, Oppose and Abolish Hate in Marin County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As much as I’m enraged at and upset at seeing a flyer like, ‘We are everywhere,’ I was really shocked that the DA was not able to do anything about it,” Solomons said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His group has pushed for the creation of a county hate crime task force, and advocated for the state to strengthen hate crime laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September, Gov.

While AB 2282 doesn’t prohibit Goyim Defense League’s use of flyers because they don’t include swastikas or make specific threats of violence, Solomons said the new law is encouraging at a time when a lot of things are discouraging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, we’ve been fighting — those people that are older.

He said he initially bonded with Johnson and Minadeo because all three were recovering from substance use disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, Renfro and Whitlow offered to make Johnson a partner in the purchase of a new studio, Hella Yoga in Berkeley. According to Renfro, Minadeo loaned Johnson $50,000 to purchase an ownership stake and often came to the studio to help with renovations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Renfro noticed a change in the couple during the pandemic. Minadeo refused to get vaccinated, and was no longer allowed inside the studio. Instead, Renfro said, he would sit in his car and vape for hours while Johnson taught classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson, who seemed distracted and distant, started making offensive comments. In 2021, she said something that really shook Renfro. After Johnson returned from visiting her mother, he asked how her flight went.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She said, ‘I had to sit down next to these — they were like these smelly Jews wearing one of those hats and stuff,’” Renfro recalled. It struck a nerve. “When someone says they sat next to dirty, ‘smelly Jews’ on the airplane and you’re Jewish, you don’t forget that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11940826\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11940826\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/RS62606_02032023_jeffrenfro-038-qut.jpg\" alt=\"close-up portrait of a middle aged white man standing in a doorway, with one hand on the red-painted door frame\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1282\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/RS62606_02032023_jeffrenfro-038-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/RS62606_02032023_jeffrenfro-038-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/RS62606_02032023_jeffrenfro-038-qut-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/RS62606_02032023_jeffrenfro-038-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/RS62606_02032023_jeffrenfro-038-qut-1536x1026.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Petaluma resident Jeff Renfro stands at the entrance to Funky Door Yoga in Berkeley, which he co-owns. \u003ccite>(Kori Suzuki/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Renfro searched Minadeo’s name online, and found the GoyimTV site selling Hitler T-shirts, including one that read, “Auschwitz was a country club.” Then he watched dozens of Minadeo’s videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to watch them to realize how evil they are.

He confronted Johnson, but she denied knowledge of Minadeo’s activities. Last March, when news reports identified her connection to Minadeo, Renfro fired Johnson, bought her stake in the yoga studio and closed the business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To expose Minadeo, Renfro said he contacted the FBI, the ADL and several Bay Area journalists. After articles featuring his name were published, Renfro said he received threatening phone calls from people.

One woman, who said she was imprisoned at Auschwitz when she was 6, told him the flyers were terrifying. The woman became so scared she didn’t want to leave her house, Renfro recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December, Minadeo played a video during a livestream to announce that he was leaving California. “My time in this state is over,\" he said. The rest of the announcement played like a theatrical trailer replete with scenes of angry reactions to his stunts. The video culminates with ominous music that punctuates the words that scrawl across the screen: “California was just the beginning” and “Florida you’re next.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minadeo has been delivering on that promise. On Jan. 23, he \u003ca href=\"https://gab.com/HandsomeTruth/posts/109741203088175009\">spoke at an Orlando City Council meeting\u003c/a>, identifying himself as a Jewish, LGBTQ advocate named Tammy Cohen. Wearing heavy eyeshadow and a yarmulke, he read several GDL flyers. He said that instead of demonizing the people who distribute them, Jews should admit that the flyers are “factual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than a week later, Minadeo and four others were \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/local-neo-nazi-jon-minadeo-cited-for-littering-with-flyers-in-florida/\">cited in Palm Beach for littering after “they were apprehended tossing weighted baggies containing propaganda sheets targeting Jews,”\u003c/a> according to The Press Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renfro has reached out to groups in Florida to warn them about Minadeo.

Once an aspiring rapper and movie star, Minadeo began building an online following through GoyimTV, a business he described as “informative educational entertainment” in papers filed with the state in 2021. The channel has thousands of followers on Gab, a social media app popular with white nationalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minadeo, 40, increasingly preaches antisemitism in public, too. The banner on the 405 was just one of several recent exploits he used to drive more people to GoyimTV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Minadeo attracted international attention when he traveled to Poland, where he was arrested at Auschwitz, the death camp where Nazis killed more than 1.1 million Jewish people.

And, you know, we're not seeing an end to this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does the internet influence people's determination to commit these acts?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TERESA DRENICK: \u003c/strong>Given the rise of social media and the ease with which messaging can be sent instantaneously throughout the cyberspace, these specific regional white supremacist and hate groups are operating everywhere all the time and influencing young people, influencing people who are going to these websites.

TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> Just to underscore how much a problem this is, the U.S. Department of Justice launched a unit in January to investigate domestic terrorism. This problem has been able to proliferate because of the easy access to connecting with people through social media. Take, for example, what happened in Buffalo. It was livestreamed. That is intentional, not only to spread fear, but also to encourage others to participate in these kinds of acts of premeditated violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, the platform Twitch says they took [the video] down within two minutes. But that video is readily accessible on any number of platforms right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is about white fear and what happens when that fear reaches a boiling point. People act out and there's people who will pay the consequences of that fear. In fact, we have an entire party that is based on how to escalate that fear: how can they tap into that fear so they can win elections, not to help people, but just to spread more fear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So let's talk about that proliferation. Liz Cheney said [in a tweet], “The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse.” So, this is Liz Cheney, a GOP leader, saying this and also tweeting that GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them. So explain why, Wajahat, that the GOP needs to take responsibility as well?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I mean, don't take my word for it. Listen to Liz Cheney. She's finally taking ownership over what the GOP and the right-wing movement have been doing for more than 50 years, through the Southern strategy, which has been using these racist dog whistles to try to do a divide-and-conquer tactic between white workers and Black, Latino and Asian workers that is trying to stoke this racial anxiety and cultural anxiety, trying to terrify them, that they're being replaced by the Mexican laborers or the Muslims or the Asian Americans who spell really well: \"They're the ones taking our job.\"[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Teresa Drenick, deputy director, Anti-Defamation League's Central Pacific Region\"]'The data is showing that throughout the United States, we are seeing just an incredible rise and proliferation of white supremacist propaganda.'[/pullquote]It's what we saw Donald Trump do with this just open bigotry: \"We need a Muslim ban,\" and, \"The invaders are coming.\" And right when he said that, right before the 2018 midterm elections, that same language was used as rationalization to \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/US/pittsburgh-synagogue-shooting-portraits-11-victims/story?id=58823835\">attack the Tree of Life Synagogue\u003c/a> in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and killed 11 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, why do I say the Republican Party is responsible? Because even though this Buffalo terrorist was not handed a gun by Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik and GOP leaders in the right-wing ecosystem nonetheless dipped the bullets in the same ideological poison. They emerged from the same ideological infrastructure. Elise Stefanik decided last year to take out Facebook ads promoting the replacement theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you can't even condemn the replacement theory, if you can't even condemn a white supremacist conspiracy theory, then what does that say about your party? And here we are. And they still haven't condemned it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I want to dig in a little bit in terms of how this ideology is expressed on TV. What's different about the way this speech is presented on TV versus what we were just discussing about the internet?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> White supremacists used to have hoods and robes designed for them. Now they wear designer clothes, designer suits. They no longer need to wear a mask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“America First” and “Make America Great Again” have nothing to do with the citizens of this country. It is about promoting ideology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when you watch Tucker Carlson, it's, “Hey, I'm just questioning this. This is what a good journalist does. And the fact that I'm questioning this, does that make me a racist?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He almost makes a mockery of anyone who wants to express a desire to help people of color that have long been marginalized and oppressed in this country. In fact, there's the culture war brewing in this race to get the Republican nomination of who can be the most racist, who can be the most anti-woke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is nothing that's different. This is what the [modern] Republican Party has always been about messaging, about being pro-life, about securing our borders, because the coded language there is, “They're coming for your jobs. They're coming for your family. They're coming for our white women. They're coming to sell you drugs.” And Tucker Carlson has benefited from that because his audience is largely white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>But influential Republican leaders, like Elise Stefanik, are quick to denounce these acts of violence and insist they have never advocated for any racist positions. So unpack that for us.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I've never met a racist in America. Nobody in the history of America is a racist. Have you noticed that? I've never met anyone. Even the KKK weren't racist. When you ask the KKK, they said, \"We're not racist. We're just trying to defend the white race, we're just trying to defend the white people. That's all. We're fine with Black people if they just go to their own countries.\" Encountering a racist is like finding Bigfoot — it's impossible. And yet somehow, magically, racism proliferates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so there's a couple of tactics that the right wing does. Tucker tries to Trojan-horse these white supremacist talking points on a show by doing the following: “I'm just asking questions. Can't we just ask questions? Here, let me Trojan-horse this by asking a question.”[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Wajahat Ali, writer\"]'I've never met a racist in America. Nobody in the history of America is a racist. Have you noticed that? ... Encountering a racist is like finding Bigfoot — it's impossible. And yet somehow, magically, racism proliferates.'[/pullquote]By doing this repeatedly, you move over to the window of ... what [once] was considered forbidden that is now considered acceptable discourse. Then the second thing they do is, \"Well, we're just kidding. Well, we're just joking.\" Or, “We're not just journalists. We're not reporters. We're just entertainers. We're just joking. These are just jokes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then the third thing they do is a projection — deflection. They project onto the majority what they're actually doing. “It's actually you, the left, that's radical. It's actually you, the liberals who are racist. In fact, you and Otis are the race hustlers playing the race game by calling everyone else a racist.” That's your deflection. You call all of us white supremacists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what we say is, no, I'm calling you white supremacists because you act and behave and talk like a white supremacist. And the failure of institutions and the majority and many — not you — of our media colleagues is they fall for it like Charlie Brown and Lucy in the football episode. And they do both-sides analysis. That's the same thing as the right wing with its wealth of white supremacist talking points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides are extreme, and that's how you launder and mainstream and Trojan-horse what was once fringe white supremacist talking points into mainstream talking points that are now believed by half of Republican voters and a third of American voters. And this is how you normalize hate. It's happening right before our eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, what can we do about this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.\u003c/strong>:\u003c/b> What we're seeing is what I believe is a lack of representation. The Bay Area is 60% people of color. California, the state, is majority people of color. But the majority of representatives in Sacramento and in Bay Area politics are white people. In fact, in the Bay Area, it's 60% white people who represent the majority people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI: \u003c/strong>I get asked this question a lot: “I'm nobody and I'm not on TV like you. And what can I do? I'm overwhelmed. There's so many problems.” And I always say, \"I love nobodies. Some of my favorite people are nobodies. I'm a nobody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the day, we can only control our own intentions and our own actions. And I understand that everyone's overwhelmed. And so what I would recommend people doing is the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 1, have awareness, be aware of what's happened in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 2, make an intention to do something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And No. 3, then act. Act at the local level. First and foremost, act at the local level. Specifically, these forces that want to literally flatten us and violently remove us, are taking over school boards, city councils, medical boards. There's no reason why you — yes, you listening right now — cannot run for office. Look at some of the Republicans who are elected. The bar is low. I want you to run for office. I want you to represent yourself in your community. I want you to show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they want us to do is be intimidated. We get intimidated. We don't show up. They take over. They want us to cede the ground. We have the numbers. We just need to flex the numbers. We have the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'd also say, be the America you want this country to be in your daily actions. If you're a parent, model this type of language and these values in your home. You'll be influencing generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're at a workplace, speak up, speak out, speak out for others to change the culture of your workplace. Look for equity, equal wages, opportunities. Reach out to folks who are marginalized and try to bring them in, mentor them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to media, call up your local newspaper, be a resource for them or speak up. Say something like, “Hey, how come you didn't have a voice talking about X, Y and Z?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then also, vote if you can, because the largest group that does not vote is the people who can vote but don't vote. Right, everyone says Republicans and Democrats. The biggest chunk of the pie are people who are eligible to vote in this country and they choose not to vote. You have to vote. Don't be on the sidelines. Don't choose apathy. Don't choose cynicism. We have to have you to invest in hope and invest in this country. And that means getting in the ring and being made to be felt uncomfortable and making other people feel uncomfortable. This is the only way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, you have to build a multicultural coalition of the willing. This is affecting all of us. So reach out and link up with other groups because we have the numbers. We have to flex them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"KQED Forum examines the 'Great Replacement' and other

Liz Cheney said [in a tweet], “The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse.” So, this is Liz Cheney, a GOP leader, saying this and also tweeting that GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them. So explain why, Wajahat, that the GOP needs to take responsibility as well?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I mean, don't take my word for it. Listen to Liz Cheney. She's finally taking ownership over what the GOP and the right-wing movement have been doing for more than 50 years, through the Southern strategy, which has been using these racist dog whistles to try to do a divide-and-conquer tactic between white workers and Black, Latino and Asian workers that is trying to stoke this racial anxiety and cultural anxiety, trying to terrify them, that they're being replaced by the Mexican laborers or the Muslims or the Asian Americans who spell really well: \"They're the ones taking our job.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'The data is showing that throughout the United States, we are seeing just an incredible rise and proliferation of white supremacist propaganda.'","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"align":"right","size":"medium","citation":"Teresa Drenick, deputy director, Anti-Defamation League's Central Pacific Region","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>It's what we saw Donald Trump do with this just open bigotry: \"We need a Muslim ban,\" and, \"The invaders are coming.\" And right when he said that, right before the 2018 midterm elections, that same language was used as rationalization to \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/US/pittsburgh-synagogue-shooting-portraits-11-victims/story?id=58823835\">attack the Tree of Life Synagogue\u003c/a> in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and killed 11 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, why do I say the Republican Party is responsible? Because even though this Buffalo terrorist was not handed a gun by Tucker Carlson, Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik and GOP leaders in the right-wing ecosystem nonetheless dipped the bullets in the same ideological poison. They emerged from the same ideological infrastructure. Elise Stefanik decided last year to take out Facebook ads promoting the replacement theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you can't even condemn the replacement theory, if you can't even condemn a white supremacist conspiracy theory, then what does that say about your party? And here we are. And they still haven't condemned it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I want to dig in a little bit in terms of how this ideology is expressed on TV. What's different about the way this speech is presented on TV versus what we were just discussing about the internet?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.:\u003c/strong> White supremacists used to have hoods and robes designed for them. Now they wear designer clothes, designer suits. They no longer need to wear a mask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“America First” and “Make America Great Again” have nothing to do with the citizens of this country. It is about promoting ideology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when you watch Tucker Carlson, it's, “Hey, I'm just questioning this. This is what a good journalist does. And the fact that I'm questioning this, does that make me a racist?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He almost makes a mockery of anyone who wants to express a desire to help people of color that have long been marginalized and oppressed in this country. In fact, there's the culture war brewing in this race to get the Republican nomination of who can be the most racist, who can be the most anti-woke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is nothing that's different. This is what the [modern] Republican Party has always been about messaging, about being pro-life, about securing our borders, because the coded language there is, “They're coming for your jobs. They're coming for your family. They're coming for our white women. They're coming to sell you drugs.” And Tucker Carlson has benefited from that because his audience is largely white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>But influential Republican leaders, like Elise Stefanik, are quick to denounce these acts of violence and insist they have never advocated for any racist positions. So unpack that for us.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI:\u003c/strong> I've never met a racist in America. Nobody in the history of America is a racist. Have you noticed that? I've never met anyone. Even the KKK weren't racist. When you ask the KKK, they said, \"We're not racist. We're just trying to defend the white race, we're just trying to defend the white people. That's all. We're fine with Black people if they just go to their own countries.\" Encountering a racist is like finding Bigfoot — it's impossible. And yet somehow, magically, racism proliferates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so there's a couple of tactics that the right wing does. Tucker tries to Trojan-horse these white supremacist talking points on a show by doing the following: “I'm just asking questions. Can't we just ask questions? Here, let me Trojan-horse this by asking a question.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'I've never met a racist in America. Nobody in the history of America is a racist. Have you noticed that? ... Encountering a racist is like finding Bigfoot — it's impossible.

Then the second thing they do is, \"Well, we're just kidding. Well, we're just joking.\" Or, “We're not just journalists. We're not reporters. We're just entertainers. We're just joking. These are just jokes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then the third thing they do is a projection — deflection. They project onto the majority what they're actually doing. “It's actually you, the left, that's radical. It's actually you, the liberals who are racist. In fact, you and Otis are the race hustlers playing the race game by calling everyone else a racist.” That's your deflection. You call all of us white supremacists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what we say is, no, I'm calling you white supremacists because you act and behave and talk like a white supremacist. And the failure of institutions and the majority and many — not you — of our media colleagues is they fall for it like Charlie Brown and Lucy in the football episode. And they do both-sides analysis. That's the same thing as the right wing with its wealth of white supremacist talking points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both sides are extreme, and that's how you launder and mainstream and Trojan-horse what was once fringe white supremacist talking points into mainstream talking points that are now believed by half of Republican voters and a third of American voters. And this is how you normalize hate. It's happening right before our eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, what can we do about this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cstrong>OTIS R. TAYLOR JR.\u003c/strong>:\u003c/b> What we're seeing is what I believe is a lack of representation. The Bay Area is 60% people of color. California, the state, is majority people of color. But the majority of representatives in Sacramento and in Bay Area politics are white people. In fact, in the Bay Area, it's 60% white people who represent the majority people of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WAJAHAT ALI: \u003c/strong>I get asked this question a lot: “I'm nobody and I'm not on TV like you. And what can I do? I'm overwhelmed. There's so many problems.” And I always say, \"I love nobodies. Some of my favorite people are nobodies. I'm a nobody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the day, we can only control our own intentions and our own actions. And I understand that everyone's overwhelmed. And so what I would recommend people doing is the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 1, have awareness, be aware of what's happened in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. 2, make an intention to do something.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And No. 3, then act. Act at the local level. First and foremost, act at the local level. Specifically, these forces that want to literally flatten us and violently remove us, are taking over school boards, city councils, medical boards. There's no reason why you — yes, you listening right now — cannot run for office. Look at some of the Republicans who are elected. The bar is low. I want you to run for office. I want you to represent yourself in your community. I want you to show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they want us to do is be intimidated. We get intimidated. We don't show up. They take over. They want us to cede the ground. We have the numbers. We just need to flex the numbers. We have the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'd also say, be the America you want this country to be in your daily actions. If you're a parent, model this type of language and these values in your home. You'll be influencing generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're at a workplace, speak up, speak out, speak out for others to change the culture of your workplace. Look for equity, equal wages, opportunities. Reach out to folks who are marginalized and try to bring them in, mentor them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to media, call up your local newspaper, be a resource for them or speak up. Say something like, “Hey, how come you didn't have a voice talking about X, Y and Z?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then also, vote if you can, because the largest group that does not vote is the people who can vote but don't vote. Right, everyone says Republicans and Democrats. The biggest chunk of the pie are people who are eligible to vote in this country and they choose not to vote. You have to vote. Don't be on the sidelines. Don't choose apathy. Don't choose cynicism. We have to have you to invest in hope and invest in this country. And that means getting in the ring and being made to be felt uncomfortable and making other people feel uncomfortable. This is the only way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, you have to build a multicultural coalition of the willing. This is affecting all of us. So reach out and link up with other groups because we have the numbers. We have to flex them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>
