MAWA (Make America White Again)

American Totem

Norman Lewis , 1960

Whitney Museum

Make America so white again that it ignores its origins

Make America so white again that it forgets its history

Make America so white again that the stars and stripes become monocromal.

Make America so white that Americans will have to alter their DNA

Make America so white that you will have to travel abroad to see a skin of colour

Make America so white that you will not be able to distinguish its faces from the mountain snow.

The terror of the stupid

while currently strong

is essentially weak.

It can do great damage

but not much else

its day of reckoning is nigh.
