Confronting White Nationalism And the Limits Of The Campus Left

September 9, 2022 It's Going Down. Resist! Arizona, Higher Education, Student Activism, White Nationalism

Tempe, Arizona - Beneath the veneer of liberal civility at Arizona State University (ASU), located in Tempe, lies a long history of the campus welcoming white supremacists and fascists, excused by a hand-wave towards public university inclusivity. Such was the case when the Phoenix Anarchist Federation and the wider community received word that the College Republicans United (CRU), the even more grotesque sibling of the ASU College Republicans, had invited Jared Taylor to speak on campus. Taylor, a noted white supremacist who has gained notoriety as the brains behind the American Renaissance conference, which helped popularize fascist ideas to a broader and often younger audience, is not the first virulent fascist to be hosted by the CRU.

Why Falling Hate Group Numbers Don’t Necessarily Mean Less Hate

March 13, 2022 Elisha Brown, Facing South. Educate! Hate Groups, White Nationalism, White Supremacy

Though 2021 started with a deadly siege on the United States Capitol by hundreds of far-right rioters trying to overturn the presidential election results, the number of hate and anti-government groups in the U.S. declined last year for the third year in a row, according to a report released this week by the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama. The SPLC counted a total of 733 hate groups last year, significantly lower than the 2018 peak of 1,021. It found that the number of anti-government groups also fell, from 566 in 2020 to 488 in 2021. But SPLC says that doesn't necessarily mean there's less hate out there. "Rather than demonstrating a decline in the power of the far right, the dropping numbers of organized hate and anti-government groups suggest that the extremist ideas that mobilize them now operate more openly in the political mainstream...

‘The White Republic’: A Response By Gerald Horne

May 24, 2021 Gerald Horne, Organizing Upgrade. Educate! Left Politics, Settler colonialism, White Nationalism, White Supremacy

The good news is that Comrade Bob Wing’s analysis represents a step forward in terms of the U.S. Left’s understanding of the nation—“republic”—in which it struggles. The bad news is that the U.S. left has not necessarily kept pace with the U.S. ruling class in terms of similar issues, or even with non-radical African-Americans, for that matter. Consider the multi-part series on HBO Max (a member in good standing of the much reviled “corporate media”) that premiered recently, i.e. Black filmmaker Raoul Peck’s “Exterminate All the Brutes,” a sweeping analysis and condemnation of settler colonialism (a term curiously absent from ordinary discourse on the left) and white supremacy. His other credits include the superb docu-drama “The Young Karl Marx.”

Dubious Arrests, Death Threats and Confederate Loyalists

Reported from a community where protesting is restricted and violence feels imminent, “Sound of Judgment” provides a rare view into the fight for justice in small-town America.

‘ANTIFA’ Twitter Account Actually Run By White Nationalist Group Identity Evropa

June 6, 2020 Aaron Holmes, Business Insider. Educate! AntiFa, Transparency, Twitter, White Nationalism

A Twitter account that claimed to represent a national antifa organization and that urged protesters to loot "white" neighborhoods was actually run by white nationalist group Identity Evropa, according to a Twitter spokesperson. The account, which posted under the handle "@ANTIFA_US," falsely aligned itself with ongoing Black Lives Matter protests nationwide. One tweet that called for protesters to "move into residential areas" and "take what's ours" was retweeted hundreds of times as of Sunday night. The account was removed Monday for breaking Twitter's rules against platform manipulation, spam, and inciting violence, NBC News first reported.

White Supremacy And The Milwaukee Mass Shootings

March 20, 2020 By Monica Moorehead, Workers.org Educate! Mass Shootings, Milwaukee, White Nationalism, Wisconsin

A mass shooting took place on Feb. 26 in Milwaukee, Wis., at the Molson Coors brewery when a worker, Anthony Ferrill, opened fire and killed five co-workers before killing himself. This tragic development was hardly a blip on the radar screen of mass media when all of a sudden it just disappeared.

Reducing White Supremecy

February 21, 2020 By Aaron Barlow, Onefleweast.net Strategize! Racism, White Nationalism

Back when I was a drunk, everything was always someone else’s fault. Eventually, I discovered, with Jimmy Buffett, that it was “my own damn fault.” Once I accepted that, I could get sober and build something out of the ruins. I no longer had to be destructive….Denial of responsibility, the flip side of bootstrap individualism, extends far beyond addicts. It’s the core attraction of the White Supremacy movement...

They Are Racist; Some Of Them Have Guns. Inside The White Supremacist Group Hiding In Plain Sight.

November 13, 2019 By Carol Schaeffer and Fritz Zimmermann, Propublica.org Educate! Racism, White Nationalism

In the hours after the slaughter in El Paso, Texas, on Aug. 3, a final toll emerged: 22 dead, most of them Latinos, some Mexican nationals. A portrait of the gunman accused of killing them soon took shape: a 21-year-old from a suburb of Dallas who had been radicalized as a white supremacist online and who saw immigrants as a threat to the future of white America. While much of the country reacted with a weary sense of sorrow and outrage, word of the mass killing was processed differently by members of Patriot Front, one of the more prominent white supremacist groups in the U.S.

“The Necessity Defense”—Why I’m Not Sorry For Antifa

October 11, 2019 Anthony Rogers-Wright, Thepromptmag.com Strategize! AntiFa, White Nationalism

While appearing on Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now, the good and brilliant scholar/thought leader Dr. Cornell West did not mince words, “We would have been crushed like cockroaches were it not for the anarchists and the Anti-Fascists [Antifa ].” He went on to say that Antifa saved his life, as well as the lives of clergy members and others who bravely travelled to Charlottesville, Virginia to confront vitriolic and malevolent white supremacy and anti-Jewishness. We remember Charlottesville with such melancholy, after the tragic and violent death of our dear and brave sister Heather Heyer.

Armed Militias Are Taking Trump’s Civil War Tweets Seriously

October 5, 2019 Mary B. McCord, Lawfareblog.com Educate! Civil War, Militia, Trump Administration, White Nationalism

It might seem tempting to dismiss this language as of a piece with President Trump’s typical Twitter rhetoric. But it is worth paying particular attention to this tweet—because among the people who read it were militia groups enthusiastic about exactly what Trump portended. And while no violence has yet resulted from the president’s tweet, it would be foolish to underestimate the power of Trump’s comments to call rogue militias to action, particularly if there is an impeachment and he continues to use this rhetoric to fan the flames.

He Spent Years Infiltrating White Supremacist Groups. Here’s What He Has To Say About What’s Going On Now.

September 2, 2019 Joe Sexton, Propublica.org Resist! Racism, Surveillance, White Nationalism

Late in 2017, ProPublica began writing about a California white supremacist group called the Rise Above Movement. Its members had been involved in violent clashes at rallies in Charlottesville, Virginia, and several cities in California. They were proud of their violent handiwork, sharing videos on the internet and recruiting more members. Our first article was titled “Racist, Violent, Unpunished: A White Hate Group’s Campaign of Menace.” More articles followed, and another neo-Nazi group, Atomwaffen Division, was exposed.

Proud Boys, Outnumbered By Anti-Fascists, Get Police Escort After 30-Minute Rally

August 19, 2019 Christopher Mathias and Andy Campbell, Huffpost.com Resist! Fascism, Oregon, Portland, White Nationalism

PORTLAND, Ore. ― A few hundred fascists once again invaded Portland for a much-anticipated rally Saturday, but this time were mostly deprived of the violent spectacle they crave, as a much larger group of anti-fascists made them know they weren’t welcome in this city. The fascists belonged to far-right groups including the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer and the Three Percenters. And whereas at previous Portland rallies these groups have often confronted and attacked anti-fascist protesters, this time they were barely given the chance to do so. Upon arriving at Tom McCall Waterfront Park around 11.am. Saturday, they were kept separated from their foes by concrete barriers and a phalanx of police.

To Understand The El Paso Massacre, Look To The Long Legacy Of Anti-Mexican Violence At The Border

August 13, 2019 David Dorado Romo, Texasobserver.org Educate! Mass Shootings, Racism, Texas, White Nationalism

In the immediate aftermath of the El Paso shooting—the largest massacre of Latinx people in the history of the United States—politicians of all stripes stood before the cameras and gave their diagnosis of what just happened. They sounded like the proverbial blind men who touched one part of the elephant and confused the different fragments for the whole. El Paso Mayor Dee Margo, a Republican who once praised the “freedom fence” for keeping out “riff raff,” emphasized that the atrocity was committed by an outsider.

Expanding The Powers Of The FBI Is Not The Solution To White Supremacist Violence

August 12, 2019 Chip Gibbons, Inthesetimes.com Educate! FBI, Racism, White Nationalism

On August 3, a white supremacist attacked a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing at least 22 and wounding dozens more. Espousing racist conspiracy theories about a “Hispanic invasion,” the killer’s murderous rampage was cold-blooded—and appeared to target Latinx people. It’s only the latest high-profile act of white supremacist violence. And it comes at a time when Donald Trump and other Republican politicians are mainstreaming racist rhetoric. Faced with this climate, many well-meaning people are looking for a way to counter the very real danger of white supremacist violence.

Homeland Security Report: White Supremacists Behind Most Domestic Terrorism Incidents

August 10, 2019 Jana Winter and Hunter Walker, News.yahoo.com Educate! Homeland Security, Terrorism, White Nationalism

WASHINGTON — Alleged white supremacists were responsible for all race-based domestic terrorism incidents in 2018, according to a government document distributed earlier this year to state, local and federal law enforcement. The document, which has not been previously reported on, becomes public as the Trump administration’s Justice Department has been unable or unwilling to provide data to Congress on white supremacist domestic terrorism. The data in this document, titled “Domestic Terrorism in 2018,” appears to be what Congress has been asking for...
