How To Respond To Neo-Nazis

Clowns indeed.

This is one of the best responses to neo-Nazis/white supremacists ever.

From The Raw Story:

A group of neo-Nazis held an anti-immigration rally in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday, but their demonstration was overshadowed by a horde of cheerful clowns.

Local media reported that the neo-Nazis were outnumbered by about a five-to-one ratio. The clowns shouted “white flour,” while others came with signs reading “wife power.”

“The straight up message from us is you look silly,” said Lacey Williams of the Latin America Coalition. “We’re dressed like clowns and you’re the ones that look funny.”

The National Socialist Movement announced the event in October, giving the Latin America Coalition plenty of time to plan a counter-demonstration.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the National Socialist Movement is one of the largest neo-Nazi groups in the country. Like the American Nazi Party that proceeded it, the group idolizes Adolf Hitler and believes only Caucasian people should be allowed to live in the United States.

What a perfect protest.

Hate Groups Continue To Grow

Hate finds new blood.

I had a feeling that strangely though President Obama’s election was historical and a major step forward, that it seemed to me, we were experiencing more ethnic stupidity than ever. It’s a combination of the Internet and the anonymity it affords and a backlash of sorts. But a new report in The New York Times backs the gut feeling  I was having.

Fed by antagonism toward President Obama, resentment toward changing racial demographics and the economic rift between rich and poor, the number of so-called hate groups and antigovernment organizations in the nation has continued to grow, according to a report released Wednesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The center, which has kept track of such groups for 30 years, recorded 1,018 hate groups operating last year.

The more we move ahead, the more we move back it seems. Here is the full article and report.
