Daily Dose of Protest: White Guilt Atrocity Quilt – Leftöver Crack

From the artist’s Bandcamp

The latest single by the veteran punks deals with the atrocities committed by white American colonialism. Concerning this, the band explains the motivation of the lyrics in a press statement: “The new song by Leftöver Crack is about the history of white self-proclaimed Americans and the injustice, displacement, genocide, rape, disease, enslavement, human commodification and trafficking, cruelty, brutality, exploitation, broken promises, and vilification of the native Indigenous population, as well as the populations of African countries, for the benefit of the privileged class and rich “elite” whites—who behave no differently than the Europeans that forced them to seek a new world where they could live in peace, practice their religions freely, and avoid paying financial tribute to British royalty, only to demand that the subjugated peoples of this country fatten their own oligarchic coffers and bow down to their own demented dynasties, all while presenting a facade of caring about those destroyed in their scorched wake.”
