Often times I am asked by community activists, what they should do when a hate group/racist gang is planning on coming to their community?
My answer to the community is to turn a negative, into a positive - instead of playing into the hate group's hands, look for ways to counter their messages, use the opportunity to reach out to others in the community, find creative ways to blunt any impact the racists may have on a community.
From Project Lemonade to eduction, to offering community wide alternative events, take the ball out of the hands and hoods of the bigots.
Recently, I received such a call from people in the community of Gettysburg,Pennsylvania - the Ku Klux Klan has a permit to "rally" on the Gettysburg Battle field Saturday Sept. 2.
After speaking with residents and community activists in Gettysburg, offering ideas and suggestions, I later received a call back from them asking me if I would like to be part of their program. As a result, I will be in the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania area for six days, starting Aug. 28 thru Sept. 2 - speaking at local events, colleges, meeting with people, reaching out and helping the community of Gettysburg deal not just with the KKK and Hal Turner (racist from NJ ) but helping to put together long term goals that will deal with everyday bigotry and racism, not just when it comes with a hood and hateful rhetoric.
It is an honor to work and build relationships with the people from "Adams County Unity " who's creed is "Celebrate unity in our community" - the Adams county people have put together a whole week of activities and on the day of the KKK rally are offering alternative events that invite everyone who believes in unity, diversity and equality.
Declaring the following on the Adams County Unity web site:
"Here in Gettysburg, when others would seek to point out their reasons to spread hate, we prefer to unify in love and friendship as a gathered people living in the Adams County area.
"It does not matter the color of your skin or hair, your age or beauty, gender or sexual orientation, marital status or religion...all are welcome; all are friends!"
With that I ask all my friends Pennsylvania and elsewhere to join with the people of Adams county during the week of August 28 Thur Sept. 2 to help us build Unity in the community.
During the week of August 28 till Sept. 2,while I am in the Gettysburg area, I will keep you posted on the activities and happenings via our friends at citizens against hate web site:
Hope to see you all in Gettysburg - Floyd

Good luck, Floyd, and thanks for the tireless work that you do.
ReplyDeleteG-burg is close enough for me to make a 1-day trip out of it, but I start teaching the week before. I can ill afford this semester to fall behind the first week.
Keep us posted!

ReplyDeleteI was laughing at Bill White's attempts to spin the Census numbers that suggest a decline in the proportion of white Americans.
Usually WN's agree that the percentages are in decline, and use that as a rallying point:
"If we don't act NOW, whites will become extinct", or words to that effect.
It must be a real dilemma to hold goofy philosophies that contradict one another.
Hi Mikey, stalk anyone interesting in the DC area, lately?
ReplyDeleteHey anonymous (aka Bill White):

Maybe I missed HIstory Mike, but where's the contradiction? Whites are declining in proportion to non-whites. Have you heard some kind of good news that White population is growing someplace?
ReplyDeleteI was referring to Bill White trying to discredit the Census figures, which show a decline in the percentage of US whites.
ReplyDeleteHe was arguing that there are more whites than are being counted (institutions, homeless, etc.).
From Overthrowup:
"Diversity advocates in the Census Bureau have repeatedly attempted to falsify information about America's white population and have increasingly overestimated the number of non-white immigrants entering the United States."
I found it odd that White would whine about "underrepresentation" of whites (the so-called "master" race) while, in the past, make alarmist statements about how the white race might become "extinct."
You would think that someone who worries about the "extinction" of whites would embrace the Census figures, since it would be proof of such "extinction."
I guess it depends on Bill's mood.
Then again, considering that Bill White sheds political philosophies as often as a lizard sheds skins, we should only assume that what Bill has said in the last 3-4 weeks is in keeping with his current views.
Anything older probably reflects a discarded thought process.
Who gives a shite about Bill White?
ReplyDeleteI think there people who must obsess about Bill morning noon and night.
ReplyDeleteHistory Mike: If Bill wrote that then he's wrong, not surprising.
ReplyDeleteThe census actually includes non-whites as White in their count, "hispanics" as White, Khazar and other Ashkenazi jews as White, and any non-whites who wish to claim White on the census. If anything, Whites are over represented.
I recall Bill writing that the way to handle illegal alien migrations into the United States was to breed with them and that would assimilate the mestizos through mixing. He neglected to account for White genetics being recessive, and that it would be a complete failure for preserving the White race.
I really don't count Bill White as being on the side of White people and his activism has always been counter-productive to those who hold goals of preservation. I've never been able to confirm him as a government agent, but I lean towards the idea that he glorifies that approachand seeks to emulate it. It's as if he wants to be a CIA/FBI agent, but through his own narcissism he believes he's superior to the government surveillance of White activists. Therefore, he has undertaken this infiltration on his own as a freelancer of sorts.
Right or wrong there's still a way to go about White racial preservation, and be it a lack of knowledge or awareness, or complete lunacy, either way Bill White is not even familiar with Pro-White doctrine. I suppose the only way to expres this is that he's not a true-believer, and it's obvious to those who are.
We may disagree on philosophy, but I think we can all agree that Bill White is not really up to par when it comes to White Power/White Nationalism, Cause/Movement, whatever it's labeled. He just doesn't get it.
I agree, anon. I seem to remember him coming under great ridicule sometime back on VNN because he tried to "prove" that the concern over the demise of the white race was a fallacy. I'm sure that the discussion and the fray that ensued are still there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteMost white nationalists that I am acquainted with feel much the same way about Bill. And they are quick to say that Bill is not really part of the cause. It seems to me that there are only a handful of people who pay any attention to him these days.
And this is precisely why I took the actions that I did. I am sure that your people are very proud of you and I am glad that you have decided to show the whole world why we fight against the ignorance that you have shown here.
