‘Which Way, American Man?’
August 26, 2025 at 10:12 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
The Atlantic says the Department of Homeland Security posted an image promoting Roosevelt’s New Deal that shows Uncle Sam standing at a crossroads which is annotated: “Which way, American man?”
“It’s a reference to the title of a canonical text for neo-Nazis and white nationalists, the 1978 book by William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?, which depicts Jews, Black people, and nonwhite immigrants as an existential threat to the United States.”

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
