The Context of White Supremacy Radio Program welcomes  Nicholas Gunn. A writer for the Benton Spirit Newspaper and founder of Nick Eats, Mr. Gunn is a Michigan epicurean who enjoys supporting local businesses. He also holds the current title for Mr. Benton Harbor, crowned at the Blossom Time Community Pageant. 18-year-old Gunn came to Gus’s attention after he was mauled by a pair of White Men at the recent Krasl Art Fair in St. Joseph, Michigan. The Suspected Race Soldiers physically attacked Gunn and called him ni@@#$ in defense of their copyrighted work. Gus was fascinated with this report because Gunn’s attempted family warned him about St. Joseph, Michigan. Although only a six minute drive from Benton Harbor, a predominantly black town, St. Joseph is a Racially Restricted Region (sundown town). According the 2020 US census, more than 85% of the residents are classified as White. The late James Loewen’s research site reports that Racists in St. Joseph allegedly raised the drawbridges to reduce black people’s access to town. We’ll see if young Mr. Gunn is knowledgeable about this history or the more recent death of Eric McGinnis.
