Ayers, Dohrn: 'White supremacy' responsible for America's troubles

Unrepentant terrorist William Ayers and his wife, onetime federal fugitive Bernardine Dohrn, are releasing a new book that blames whites for the problems in the U.S. since its independence from Great Britain more than two centuries ago.

According to Amazon.com, the soon-to-be released book, "Race Course Against White Supremacy," includes personal essays "by two veteran political activists" on "white supremacy and its troubling endurance in American life."

"Arguing that white supremacy has been the dominant political system in the United States since its earliest days – and that it is still very much with us – the discussion points to unexamined bigotry in the criminal justice system, election processes, war policy, and education," the Amazon posting states.

"The book draws upon the authors' own confrontations with authorities during the Vietnam era, reasserts their belief that racism and war are interwoven issues, and offers personal stories about their lives today as parents, teachers, and reformers," it continues.

As WND reported this week, a former FBI informant who penetrated the group claims he participated in a discussion in which members of the group Ayers and Dohrn co-founded, the Weather Underground, discussed a future communist takeover of the United States in which 25 million "diehard capitalists" would need to be killed to prevent counterrevolution.

Republican John McCain's presidential campaign has made Ayers an issue, charging Democrat Sen. Barack Obama has had a working relationship with Ayers, including service together on two nonprofit boards. Critics also maintain Obama's political career was launched at the home of Ayers and his wife, Dohrn, also a former Weather Underground leader.

Ayers, now a college professor, has said in interviews over the past decade he has no remorse for his 1970s terrorist activities, saying he only wished he could have done more.

In a video from about 2002, he said, "I considered myself partly an anarchist then and I consider myself partly an anarchist now. I find a lot of the ideas in anarchism appealing."

On the Free Republic forum, a contributor wrote:

"Bill Ayers 'gets it.' Here's what he understands: One strategy to undermine culture is to discredit its values and history. Of course, reducing American history to a simplistic notion of 'white supremacy' is absurd, but that’s the point. The point is to slowly undermine the confidence of people about the values and history of their own culture so they'll be less willing to defend and protect it. Along the way, you've also created a structure of 'them' (so-called 'white' people, meaning, in this context, people from western and northern Europe) and 'us' (everyone else). This creates internal conflict based on simple, easy to understand qualities like skin color.

"Eventually, the culture becomes so disillusioned and split apart that an organized cadre of leaders can take control and establish a new kind of society – like the Bolsheviks did in 1917, or the National Socialists in 1933, or the followers of Mao in 1949," the forum participant wrote.

Matthew Vadum, on the Capital Research website, which researches problems and government solutions and offers suggestions for private substitutions, said, "The would-be mass murderers who led the bomb-happy Weather Underground have put together 'Race Course Against [White] Supremacy,' which promises to be an idiotic, politically correct look at race in America."

At ProteinWisdom,com, a blogger wrote, "And by 'two veteran political activists' — 'parents, teachers, and reformers' whose book draws on their 'own confrontations with authorities during the Vietnam era' — what the product review really means is 'two unrepentant domestic terrorists who continue to use divisive identity politics to poison the liberal goal of privileging individualism — pushing the idea of institutionalized white supremacy at a time when a black man is leading in the race for president."
