A Message to “White Nationalists”
I graduated from UVa. I lived in Charlottesville and still have friends there. It’s a bucolic, sleepy college town that never did nothing to nobody. So, needless to say, I was perplexed and disturbed when I heard that the “alt right” and the KKK were planning to invade my former home for this “Unite the Right” rally. Later, when I saw news footage of the rally becoming violent and learned that 2 police officers and 1 peacefully protesting woman died, I was stunned and angry.
One of the things I loved about Charlottesville is that, being an academic community, it’s a very tolerant, open environment. I ran around dressed as a goth for 4 years, and while I did get some flack, I had no trouble finding like-minded people to form a community with there. I could NOT believe Nazis would have the unmitigated gall to invade it.. some of them carrying semi-automatic weapons and ready for a fight.
In the aftermath, Trump failed to make a comment for 2 days. First he condemned the Nazis, which must have been the influence of his daughter or someone a lot more reasonable than he is..then he gave a clusterfuck of a press conference where he blamed both sides and also said there were GOOD and BAD people on both. Apparently, some of the rally organizers were just “fine people” trying to “protect history.” Pretty sure that a guy who mocks disabled people and admits he “grabs women by the pussy” isn’t exactly the best judge of what constitutes a “fine person.”
Then Trump actually DEFENDED the Confederate monuments, using a really awful slippery slope argument I’ve already heard from many right wingers about how, once we take Lee and Jefferson’s statues down..why, why, George Washington COULD BE NEXT! Which is a ridiculous argument since they’re comparing actual TRAITORS who seceeded from the union to protect their right to torture and enslave people with the guy who led our fight for independence from the British. Apples and oranges. But..I digress.
Even before the rally, I was getting emails from the Southern Poverty Law Center, because I donate to their cause from time to time. They have bios, called “Extremist Files”, on the alt-right leaders and speakers who showed up at United the Right. In addition, the antifa website “It’s Going Down” posted profiles of these guys.
After doing my homework, I’m sorry to say..I could not find a single “fine person” among ANY of the Nazis who organized this rally. Not ONE.
Take Chris Cantwell, who’s attained considerable notariety for talking tough on the Vice documentary about white supremacists BEFORE the rally, then crying like a little bitch AFTER the rally, while in hiding from a felony warrant.
Face it, white nationalists — you’re a bunch of losers. You can’t get a date. You can’t hold a job because of your anger management issues. Half of you have restraining orders out on you for beating your girlfriends. James Fields, who drove a car into the crowd of counterprotesters SPECIFICALLY TO USE IT AS A WEAPON and ended up killing one and injuring dozens, had the cops called on him for being violent by HIS OWN MOTHER, who is DISABLED.
Fields had serious anger management issues even before he stepped foot in Charlottesville. I’m pretty sure when his neighbors were interviewed, NONE of them said “He was such a nice boy. I’m so shocked he would do a thing like this.”
I question whether the bulk of Trump supporters are “fine people”, frankly. Go to a Trump rally, and tell me the people calling for the heads of journalists or Trump critics (as I write this, there are reports on Twitter of Trump supporters at his Phoenix rally, calling for John McCain to “just die already”) are “fine people.” Go to a Trump rally, then tell me ANTIFA and Trump critics are the ones inciting violence, or cheapening the political debate in this country.
Hey “white nationalists”, it’s pretty clear the reason you’re drawn to white supremacy movements is because the only thing you have to latch onto to feel good about yourself is your SKIN COLOR. Reality check: skin color doesn’t mean SHIT except how your ancestors evolved and whether they came from a part of the globe that required more or less protection from the damn SUN. The amount of melanin in your skin signifies NOTHING except..the amount of melanin in your skin.
It’s called SCIENCE, motherfuckers. Learn it.
And what is it about Trump that makes him some icon for you guys? Is he your example of a “superior” white guy? Really? The man is so fat and lazy, the Secret Service spent their entire budget on golf cart fees to trail him at his resorts. He can’t even WALK when he golfs. That’s how pathetically out of shape he is. I mean..look at his ass..get real.
He’s also an idiot. He loves to crow about his “superior genes”, but just read the man’s tweets. He can’t spell or even use autocorrect.
You probably love him because he “says what he thinks,” and he sounds like you. Nobody wants to hear what he thinks — most of the time, what he thinks is sociopathic, vile, and narcissistic. What he says and does puts most of the country in a cold sweat, suffering from anxiety and trauma and fear on a daily basis. It’s no wonder his approval rating is 34 percent and dropping..he’s a vile human being. He’s a nasty, unpopular, incompetent, juvenile, emotionally stunted, bigoted, racist bully with no friends. But you guys love to emulate him, don’t you?
Everything that those of us who are intelligent, rational, empathetic, compassionate, NON-sociopathic and sane REVILE about Trump is emulated by you guys. During Trump’s campaign, he made rude, insulting, bullying comments towards the disabled, women, and anyone who didn’t agree with him. After the Charlottesville rally, Daily Stormer and other Nazi/KKK social media totally vilified the car rage victim Heather Heyer in the most extreme, disgusting, egregious way possible. The parallels are disturbing. I could easily see Trump in his private realm calling Heyer a “fat cow” and any number of nasty slams the racists used.
I mean, really, WHO DOES THIS? These people were clearly raised wrong. THEY REVELED IN HER DEATH, like subhuman pieces of shit. They even planned to protest her funeral. You don’t celebrate the deaths of others just because they don’t agree with you. Unless you’re a Nazi, clearly.
Back to Trump. You know he inherited his money, right? So it’s not as if his “business acumen” proves his superiority, either. His image as a successful businessman is a myth he invented to make himself look good.
He’s gone bankrupt 6 times. In fact, it’s becoming more and more clear that he colluded with Russia because they kept his businesses funded when no U.S. banks would lend him money anymore.
I do give Trump credit for being a master con artist and knowing how to use the presidency to rob us blind. HIS resorts got paid the damn golf cart fees from the Secret Service, for example. Our tax dollars at work..and yes, white supremacists, you’re paying for this shit, too.
Lately I’ve seen a lot of you whining about being doxxed. That’s really funny, because during the last few years you Brietbart assholes have ruined entire lives with doxxing. Now you cry because it’s being used against you. Karma’s a bitch.
Consider this — if your political beliefs are so vile and out of the mainstream that they could cause you to lose your job/spouse/family? If you have to be anonymous on all your social media sites to spew your hateful views because of the potential repercussions..MAYBE YOU SHOULD RE-CONSIDER YOUR POLITICAL BELIEFS.
And why on earth would you want America to be all-white anyway? What a godawful milquetoast, boring place THAT would be. Would we only have 50’s diners all over the place? No more sushi, kim-che, pad thai, Ethiopian sponge bread, bubble tea, or any number of wonderful international cuisines that immigrants have exposed us to? And what are tech companies supposed to do? They can’t find qualified Americans to help us maintain our tech superiority.
And how many of you are going to take over at farms and start picking strawberries and corn for our dinner tables, once all the Mexican immigrants are deported?
And what do you plan on doing to African Americans in this country? Most of them have absolutely no ties to any other country..would you deport them too? To where?
And think of the consequences for the music industry. I hate to think what the state of live music would be, with no people of color performing. Nothing but Arcade Fire and Coldplay type shit.
And I’ll tell you something — you all talk a lot of shit about crime and skew statistics to blame black people for a lot of crime in this country. Bitching about what a dangerous city Chicago, for example: Trump’s dog whistle for “look at all this crime in the inner city ghettos; It’s all black people’s fault.” Not to mention, Obama is from Chicago, and we know how jelly he is of Obama. He has to insult everything associated with him because he can’t stand that a BLACK guy is more popular, smarter, cooler, and happier than he is.
Truth be told, I’m a LOT more afraid of you young white males than I am of ANY person of color. You’re the ones who walk into schools, malls, post offices, movie theaters, and workplaces with semi-automatic weapons and blow large groups of people away.
Even an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL became a shooting gallery, thanks to another one of you disaffected, entitled, Prozac-addicted, perpetually angry white guys. No place is safe.
Let’s not forget serial killers. Serial killers are overwhelmingly white males. Funny how that never gets mentioned in your wack statistical discussions on online forums.
And actually, some mass murderers ARE white supremacists..
Let’s get some things straight:
- The alt right started the violence in Charlottesville. STOP LYING ABOUT THIS. Everyone who’s publicly spoken out or written about their experience BECAUSE THEY WERE THERE blames the neo-Nazis for the violence. I mean..just look at this photo, taken by a friend of mine who was there. You guys were armed to the teeth in camo gear. This wasn’t just some Call of Duty cosplay shit.
You people BARICADED parisioners IN A FUCKING CHURCH, and MACED THEM WHEN THEY TRIED TO LEAVE.
Once again..NOT FINE PEOPLE.
2) THERE IS NO ALT LEFT. This is a term Trump made up to take the blame off the Nazis (and NO, I’m not calling them “alt right”..not unless I’m at a protest and we chant “Alt Right Delete.”) STOP USING THIS TERM.
3) Neither Obama NOR George Soros NOR the DNC “staged” the Charlottesville tragedy. That dumb craigslist ad you’ve been posting and pathetically trying to use as proof of this wackjob conspiracy theory is an ad for “CHARLOTTE”, not “CHARLOTTESVILLE.” I realize you people are as dumb as they come, but I can’t believe I’m having to explain that THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CITIES.
4) Stop with the “BUT HILLARY” and Hillary “whataboutism”. What ABOUT Hillary? She actually warned us about you “deplorables”. The same media outlets that said she was “going low” when she pointed out Trump’s coddling of these alt-right groups are now saying “Yup..yup..she called it.”
5) You sound RIDICULOUS crowing about “taking our country back.” Taking YOUR country back? From whom? As Tina Fey pointed out, WHITE people are the ones who stole it.
6) How do you KNOW you’re so “pure” and 100 pct European stock? Put your money where your mouth is. GET A DNA TEST. GUESS WHAT? Your idol Hitler was part…GASP..JEWISH! And AFRICAN! I bet a lot of you have “mongrel blood”. If you think you’re so “superior” ..PROVE IT.
7) This is actually for the more “moderate” Trump supporters who believe what Trump said in his trainwreck of a press conference where he tried to claim there were “good and bad people on both sides”. Newsflash. As Jimmy Kimmel and many others have pointed out — if you’re marching in a crowd of people and they start saying things like “JEWS WILL NOT REPLACE US”..GTFO. If you don’t, you are NOT a good person. Good people wouldn’t be marching with people wearing swastika armbands, anyway.
8) For the people trying to claim we’re being hyperbolic to call these people Nazis (and yes, there are some, believe it or not). If it walks like a Nazi..talks like a Nazi..does a Nazi salute and WEARS A FUCKING SWASTIKA LIKE A NAZI..and calls for “blood and soil”..it’s a fucking NAZI.
