I dated several Black women before her. I have multiracial children and a granddaughter. For several years, I published The Multiracial Activist as well as The Abolitionist Examiner. I was personally involved in HUNDREDS of civil liberties campaigns and lawsuits and advocacy actions across a wide range of issues alongside the ACLU, NAACP, PFAW, NCLR, Libertarian Party, Center for National Security Studies, Liberty Coalition, and a wide range of left to right organizations who worked together when we agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years as a civil liberties activist publisher, I experienced death threats, denial of service attacks on my magazine&#8217;s websites, temporary mob take-overs of forums and other hostile actions by racists, extremists and bigots. That only strengthened my positions and my response to be even louder.<\/p>\n<p>The racist, fascist, hateful and cruel behavior we see exhibited by friends, family and colleagues who adhere to the MAGA white supremacy party line isn&#8217;t new. We&#8217;ve seen all of it before. It is just more out in the open again for the first time in several decades.<\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake about it. If you are co-signing the racism, hate, cruelty and violence&#8230;we don&#8217;t have a difference of political opinion. We have a difference in ethics and morals. You are okay with dehumanizing people based on race, religion, place of birth, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Mocking empathy and compassion and tolerance is not a flex. It&#8217;s a confession.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t about partisan political beliefs. It is about your inability to behave like a decent human being. When all of this is over, and it will eventually be over, there is no repairing the damage you&#8217;ve done to your own image, nor will forgiveness be coming from me for any of it. My family&#8217;s safety is more important than your feelings. You&#8217;ve utterly destroyed your identities with your own smug hatred and embrace of cruelty. No refunds. No returns.<\/p>\n<p>Find the exit. Leave my orbit. Our business is concluded&#8230;permanently.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks team.<\/p>\n<p>Yours in Struggle,<\/p>\n<p>James Landrith<br \/>\n<strong>Founder and Publisher<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>The Multiracial Activist<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>and The Abolitionist Examiner<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; February 7, 2026 The Multiracial Activist From the Editor: I&#8217;ve been married to a Black woman since 1993.
