In my interviews with Chavez for BBC beginning in 2002, he talked with — White supremacy

"Such degrading of men by men is as old as mankind and the invention of no one race or people. Ever have men striven to conceive of their victims as different from the victors, endlessly different, in soul and blood, strength and cunning, race and lineage. It has been left, however, to Europe and to modern days to discover the eternal world-wide mark of meanness,-color! Such is the silent revolution that has gripped modern Eu ropean culture in the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its zenith came in Boxer times: White supremacy was all but world-wide, Africa was dead, India conquered, Japan isolated, and China prostrate, while white America whetted her sword for mongrel Mexico and mulatto South America, lynching her own Negroes the while. Temporary halt in this program was made by little Japan and the white world immediately sensed the peril of such "yellow " presumption! What sort of a world would this be if yellow men must be treated " white"? Im mediately the eventual overthrow of Japan became a subject of deep thought and intrigue, from St. Petersburg to San Francisco, from the Key of Heaven to the Little Brother of the Poor."

"The primarily White supporters of the Freedom Convoy argue that pandemic mandates infringe upon their constitutional rights to freedom. The notion of “freedom” was historically and remains intertwined with Whiteness, as historian Tyler Stovall has argued. The belief that one’s entitlement to freedom is a key component of White supremacy."

"“Make no mistake: this is dangerous stuff. The ‘great replacement theory’ is a classic white supremacist trope that undergirds the modern white supremacist movement in America,” wrote Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and national director of the ADL."

"White supremacy is more than just a set of ideas or prejudices. It is national oppression."

"Empire is the expression of white supremacy beyond our borders... into the Middle East... into Vietnam, Latin America, the Philippines ... and steal natural resources and exploit cheap labour in the name of white supremacy. And of course, we have an American society built on chattel slavery and genocide against indigenous peoples. ... White supremacy hurts white folks. There are so many examples of this, from the way that federal and state resources are spent putting Black and brown people in prison in disproportionate numbers to how white racism hurts the overall economy. The police in Buffalo intentionally knocking down that older white man, who lay there bleeding from the head while the police walked over him ... was such a profound metaphor for how racism hurts white people. With the George Floyd protests and peoples uprising, white folks are seeing, again, that what Black and brown folks have been saying about police thuggery is true. Now the police are brutalizing white people. ... People of color always, throughout American history, suffer first. They are the first to suffer — and they suffer disproportionately. But de-industrialization has now hit the white working class. The tools of control are now being used against them. Overall, I dont so much fault the white racists. They are what they are. I fault the white liberals who really did not pay attention to what was happening to primarily poor people of colour in urban areas."

"La régénération des races inférieures ou abâtardies par les races supérieures est dans lordre providentiel de lhumanité. Lhomme du peuple est presque toujours chez nous un noble déclassé ; sa lourde main est bien mieux faite pour manier lépée que loutil servile. Plutôt que de travailler, il choisit de se battre, cest- à-dire quil revient à son premier état."
