White Supremacists: We’re Not Terrorists

Reeling from the arrest of their leader, members of the country’s largest white supremacist group, the National Alliance, vowed today to continue the "battle" for a "White future" in America. National Alliance leader Shaun Walker remains in custody following his indictment, along with two other members of the group, for violating the rights of two minority men in Utah. "What was once the most important hate group in America may soon be a memory," says the director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, Mark Potok. National Alliance members, on their website, say they are raising money to pay for lawyers to defend Walker against charges they say are "a made-up crime, by a cowardly government to destroy a man and the organization he heads." The case was developed by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force based on incidents that occurred three years ago. The new National Alliance leaders say, on the website, the case is another government attempt "to snuff out any patriotic momentum on the part of White racialists in the West."

The definition of the word Terrorist is: Systematic use of terror, especialy as means of coercion. What these people need to do is learn white American vocabulary.

WHITE SUPREMIST RADICALS SCARE THE HECK OUT OF ME. GOD MADE US ALL, NO MATTER WHAT RACE, COLOR OR CREED WE ARE FROM AND THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO THINK THEY ARE SUPERIOR. I’M WHITE BUT THOSE PEOPLE MAKE ME FEEL ASHAMED. THEY PASS DOWN THEIR HATRED TO THEIR CHILDREN AND ON AND ON IT GOES. LET THEM WALK IN SOMEONE ELSE’S MOCCASINS BEFORE THEY THINK BEING WHITE IS GODLY.

Ask those whom this group target if they are terrified by these beliefs. I say punish them to the full extend of the American laws that they twist for a sick sick purpose. It is always amazing to hear white middle/upperclass males whining like they have not ruled this country since the beginning with their small minds and bigatry. Yes I am a white american

Read what you folks have written – “…Ask those whom this group target if they are terrified by these beliefs. I say punish them…”
So you say that our gov’t should dictate values & punish people for their beliefs?
“…THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO THINK THEY ARE SUPERIOR. I’M WHITE BUT THOSE PEOPLE MAKE ME FEEL ASHAMED…”
So they have no right to think a particular way huh? Why are you ashamed if you’re not one of their members – by virtue of your race? You are no more responsible for their actions than a black person should be held responsible for the actions of other black people.
Hey, I don’t like them either… in fact, I HATE white supremecist groups… but they’re allowed to think & feel any way they please… so long as their ACTIONS are in accordance with the law. Undermine THAT most fundamental element of Democracy, and you’ve done far more damange to the fabric of our society than these bands of idiots could ever hope to achieve…

I have no problem with the government going after white racists. It is despicable we have people like this in our day and time. Having said that, I also hope the government would go after BLACK racists like Cynthia McKinney, Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton. The latter two are guilty of extortion of numerous multinational companies both domestic and foreign. I will not hold my breath waiting for this to happen.

Not only are the so called “White Supremacists” terrorist but all organized gangs are too. It is just that we have lived with them for so long that we often for get what a terrorist is.
I describe a terrorist as: a person or persons who act aginst the common good of the people of our country or any other country as well.

These groups represent a minimal ratio of white americans. However, that being said, they are allowed to think and feel how they wish. I find their beliefs to be rather short sighted and irritating, but they do have the right to feel how they do. Just as I have the right to be disgusted by them.

If the government used the same tactics against radical Muslims that they use against white supremacists, terrorism from radical Islam specifically 9/11 never would have happened. And we would ahve nothing to worry about.
Every American should be terrified at how the US government silences these people. You don’t have to agree with them, I don’t at all. But this is borderline tirrany.
Look up Ruby Ridge to see what I’m talking about. The US government essentially murdered a family in cold blood, scary stuff…

“THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO THINK THEY ARE SUPERIOR”
They have every right to think they’re superior, this is America remember. Once the government tries to regulate thought and speech our system has failed, unfortunately it failed a long time ago. Our founding fathers would not recognize the monstrosity the US government became.

What about what our great “US government” did to people who practiced their faith their way at Mount Carmel!! Look that one up also!!
Let these so called “White Supremacists” believe what they want — I’ll believe my way and the dang government can stick it where the sun don’t shine!!

Yes this America, yes we have rights, but first we have the Commandments. We are supposed to love everyone, or at least show respect. What an amazing planet it would be, if we could. I am a firm Believer that whatever is “His Will” shall be, no matter what groups are out there. All races have more positive qualities than negative. We must unite as God’s Children in order to survive His wrath from not living by his Word.

the white supremists are just a bunch of scared little people who dont know any better…..just a pathetic lil world they live in… it is such a shame.

I read lots of rhetoric, but no mention is made as to what these men were indicted for – the specific criminal charges, I mean. Why is ABC so vague? BTW, what organization is in place in America to protect the rights of a white male from being discriminated against? Clarification: An organization that the media doesn’t immediately tag as “white supremecists”, is what I mean to ask. Who can speak fairly for them without drawing the venom from the “hater haters”?

What a bunch of sad people you all are. Belly aching about the white supremists and being frightened. Youshould be more frightened of the Muslim supremists, your white supremists ar local to your own counry. Look at the bigger picture and welcome to the planet earth. We all live here and not just America. Get out into the big bad world and leave your politics and doctination at home and learn about other cultures and peoples before making your judements on white supremists and before looking inward and being sympathetic to “minority” cultures. Be emapthatic by all means, but understand the rest of the world does not have the same criteria as you. I have lived and worked in the middle east for 32 years and believe me if you think the white supremist are wrong, Oh boy do you have a serious misunderstanding of other countries and cultures motives.

Is the leader of the black muslim’s not a terrorist listen to the trash that comes of his sorry mouth…all whites are the devil…. why doesn’t our goverment go after him for a hate crime??

They have every right to think they are superior. They have a right to organize, protest, demonstrate, and advertise their beliefs. They have a right to free speech, run for office, propose legislation, etc. Hardly anybody buys what they are selling any more, and they get more media exposure when somebody questions their rights than when they are ignored. In this country people are allowed to express an unpopular opinion or ideology.

Boy, you have a rude awakening coming. I’m on my second tour in Iraq and if these guys scare you… the islamofacists should turn your hair white.
I have a major problem with the vilification of white supremists (as reprehensible as they are) when groups like MECHA, CAIR and the Black Panthers get a pass on outright racism and militant ethnic sepritism. Aparently it’s ok to be racist in America as long as you are not white.

What’s the big fuss about? If these group chose to make fools of themselves and their beliefs, let them! They make a lot of noise, get media attention and run around saying that they’re going to take back a country which they already own. They’re far from dumb though, they know they’d better off staying out in the boondocks and having their rallies in places where none, or very few of their targeted minorities live; come on down and try spitting some of your venom in the neighborhoods where your “despised ones” live. Wouldn’t want to be in their shoes if they had the nerve to do this. U.S. authorities have a job to do and budgets to think about for next year. You guys just happen to be in their sights at these particular moments in time. Oh yeah, I am an African American male who knows there are people like this in the world and learned long ago how to deal with it. “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”

“I read lots of rhetoric, but no mention is made as to what these men were indicted for – the specific criminal charges, I mean.”
Oddly enough, it was hard to find a website that had any details on the actual crimes that were not white-supremacy sites blathering idiotic rhetoric. Google is still your friend.
A Salt Lake City station, KUTV, had it listed in the local stories. It is odd that the blotter here didn’t bother with any facts of the case. Aparently the assaults took place three years ago, and federal charges are just now being filed.
Somebody must have been behind on his scum quota and is trying to play catch up. Maybe someone is running for office and it’s an election year coming up.
They’re barely even getting media attention. Only the white-america- under-siege websites are making any fuss about it.

“Aparently it’s ok to be racist in America as long as you are not white.”
Just wanted to let everyone hear another side, you cannot be racist in this country unless you are white. To be racist you must benefit from the subjugating of minorities, thus the majority of the time whites have the power and authority over others and can benefit. Minorities can only be prejudice towards us whites and that is where it stops. It doesnt effect the housing and job and educational systems like our racism.

Want to compare nationalists and white interests websites to the opposition, look for these differences
Nationalists/White, websites- Evidence, Proof from both history and present, countless examples mounting daily, if you read enough of it with an open mind you feel so ignorant
Pro diversity mixing websites- Most of websites content spent denouncing oppositions view, lots of pictures depicting, impoverished non whites or friendly looking ones. Because of no evidence to support their claims, they use constant politically correct, scientific and confusing language that denounces the opposition and define them mainly as race haters, neo Nazis or plain evil Normal people are confused by this language along with people who properly understand English. Website may contain cases of racial harmony working but only in small percentages, as long as one race remains at least 93 percent of the population or society says some people studying the white European protest of their land being flooded by non whites. They remain mostly able to tolerate those not of their race
If you realise that this generalised view of the two sides seems correct then why doesn’t one side have any evidence? Blindly following an ideal, yes that’s a way to describe it.
____________________
We don’t support or believe that all racial conscience white people are race hatters or neo Nazis, this is another view with no evidence by the opposition to stop you associating yourself with us, yes these people exist but to claim that all people on the side of whites hate other races is not true

I’ve read this story and have enjoyed reading the responses. To me the majority of people out their have forgot the term STRANGE FRUIT which was immortalized in song.(look it up)I think we have forgotten about those black people shot in the midwest or the man dragged in Texas by these so called harmless individuals with misguided ideals. American’s are at a critical period in time because of the problem of terrorism but as a black man I already know what it feels like to have someone want to kill me for who I am. So WELCOME TO THE PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!

What is with these supremists? They won’t talk. I’m a white male and have lived in the U>S> my whole life. When I meet you in bars, parks, or anyplace where people gather, all the supremists want to do is fight or argue. No one will talk. They always get mad and either try to fight, or yell and make a scene, or usually, as i found out, run and hide like a snake in the grass. If you can’t stand up, shut up.

White supremists don’t scare me. Ignorance always hides, especially behind a sheet. The vast majority of bigots are uneducated idiots.

Let White Supremacy be What White Supremacy Is
The old tactics – telling lies and calling names has really worked in the past for the “sons of Hell” in their quest for the destruction of God’s Holy Seed upon the Earth. Well, we know what works for us, too! It is the truth that sustains the righteous in our World.
So, let us put our racial theories to practice, shall we?
White Supremacy: Name the race of people that have accomplished more – or even as much as the white peoples of the Earth. What race of people would you be better off living with if good white people decided that you were no longer welcome in our God-given land! (Pick well, because the separation of the races is a fact that is happening right now and those who only spite us and curse us are not going to be among us much longer!) What other race of people would you feel more comfortable piloting the next airplane on you fly on? Whose medicine do you reach for when you are sick? Whose Laws and whose Justice do you seek and you find yourself innocent and in a courtroom? Whose kindness do you look for when you are in trouble and who would you rather have defend you when you are being treated poorly?
Now for those who have been honest so far – we have many problems that maybe you white supremists can help us with?
Perhaps you’ve noticed it is this same God-given kindness we are known for that has been exploited in the last few generations or so with the inundation of all the other peoples of the world into the homelands, ancient or otherwise, that were once exclusively for White Christendom. These are our hate-crazed, mentally ill, Baal-worshipping, Talmudic Rabbis who we first let live among us a few hundred years ago that have socially engineered this “death by genetic flood” we are facing today! Their belief comes right from the foot of the Tower of Babel, itself, “… The people seek to make themselves one, now, of all they seek to do what then shall be kept from them …?”
We also know that the nonwhite peoples of the Earth have only come to live with us because of their great faith in “white supremacy,” despite the rabbis worst intentions. We know no one ever asked to be born, so we don’t hold anything against you because you exist – we only ask that you allow us a place on the Earth to exist – a place where white people can call home? If you can see this far thru the smoke and dust the Rabbis have kicked up – we (the ones who the Rabbis are calling “white supremists”) will see to it that you have a place called home and a right to defend yourself. If you have faith in Jesus Christ and can agree to obey His good laws – you will never have a greater friend on this planet than your White Christian friend! Because…
For those who say the Earth is not big enough for white people to live here, too – I say let this kindness once afforded to you be withdrawn! I say let those curses you’ve called upon us now come raining down upon your head! I say let your homes be broken in and your strong men bound and your daughters ravished. Let the plagues of Egypt be upon you and your bodies boil over with the sores of Job! You who leer and at our daughters and you who misuse our sons and lay your hands grievously upon His priests, “let these death angels you have summoned for us now come among you and gather their harvest!”
You know, the Rabbis lied to their own people, too! They knew they weren’t these people called Israel – (but then “rolling up balls of mud into godless, mindless, soulless ‘mud-people’ to do the Rabbis’ bidding is what the Talmud is all about so it shouldn’t surprise anyone when we find them doing it! See; golem)
The Rabbis plan on taking off with all their wealth to somewhere like Barbados in the last days – leaving the better but poorer Jews behind to take the brunt of the punishment for their great crimes – just like they did in Germany and just like they did in Haiti 212 years ago.
I will tell you “that they will be making Rabbis into ‘Rib-eyes’ in Barbados on His day!” Karl Gharst
