Hate in modern day America

The decline of hate

By Steven MawyerPublished 5 years ago 2 min read
A global pandemic haunting us for years.

I admit, I was a fool and joined ranks in the most violent white supremacist group in America, some say, even the world. I spent over one decade inside, and climbed the ladder to Elder status. Basically meaning top ranking officer. I cannot say what made me stand and watch barbaric and heinous things take place that purely sickened me to the core. Home invasions, shootings, beatings, robberies, and even rape. I joined out of hatred but not towards any race, or nationality. And it was never about that anyway, even though most think it is. Most crimes committed that I participated in, or witnessed were mostly targeted at white civilians.

I always questioned the true purpose of the Confederate Hammerskins, Crew 38. I always answered my own questions. Meth, money, revenge, or some other personal gain for some tweaked out madman on a power trip. The problem is though, that it destroys our nation regardless of the cause or the intended target. I question why an "organization" follows a set of precepts that one, most members cannot even comprehend, and two, written by a man that betrayed the very precepts he wrote and was murdered for being a "Race Trader". The 88 Precepts author, David Lane.

I wish death, nor harm on no man, but it is simple fact that clearly shows the concern has risen far above and away from hatred. It is simply crime and gain. Most cower in fear haven been pushed into hiding by intimidation tactics that would hold no ground if we stood and fought. Trust it from the mind of an ex-member inside the organization. Trust it from the mind of a reformed career criminal. For me, crime never could be motivated by anything other than opportunity and gain. In some cases, revenge and rage. In todays "Gang world", it is a numbers game, and nothing more. Create fear and panic amongst the community.

How do we respond? Lock them up together in "Gang School", Grant them permits to have public clubhouses, and even give permits for public speaking and events. These are symptoms of a larger picture in my eyes. We are simply caving in and basically negotiating with "terrorists". How is it any different? The war on drugs is a joke. What funds terrorist activity? Drugs. So by allowing these "establishments" and public movements, all we are succeeding in doing is creating a sanctioned meeting location to move massive amounts of Methamphetamine across our once great nation. So, there is no difference. What does every city not have a shortage of these days? Meth, gang violence, crime, and more.

At what point will the world see how we enable organized crime to overrun our communities. Ignoring it, and turning a blind eye to it is only making it worse, and the gang crimes and member numbers are tripling daily. During something as hard for the entire Earth such as Covid-19, this especially is a time we could do without the violence, the hate, and the crime. I have created a series, Memoirs of violence; Breaking the walls down, in hopes to spread awareness to the nation just how bad things have become. It is my way of making amends to society. I will be spreading facts and inspiring folks to take a stand and take our country back. Hate is so overrated now anyway. The way I see it when I look around, is everyone hates everyone these days. Thank you for reading.
