White nationalists aim to take over tiny North Dakota town

[Danno 1,228]

How do you convey white supremency in a polite way? Please share with the rest of the class.

The target of that missive, Sherrill Harper, says that's just one of many she's received calling her a "filthy, race-mixing white woman" and "pea-brained."

"It made me afraid," she said. "If his goal is to just have only white people here, where do my husband and I go?"

Seems like more than one vulgar letter. And how does TM play into this?

Here's a fact for you. I support the CBC. I don't agree with their recruitment rules because unlike most folks, I abhor racism in any form. If it's black on white, or any mixing of any race I will condemn it without question. As for why I don't speak harshly about them as I would a White supremency group? Well, here is the mission statement for the CBC:

Since its establishment in 1971, Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have joined together to empower America’s neglected citizens and to address their legislative concerns. For more than 40 years, the CBC has consistently been the voice for people of color and vulnerable communities in Congress and has been committed to utilizing the full Constitutional power, statutory authority, and financial resources of the Government of the United States of America to ensure that everyone in the United States has an opportunity to achieve their version of the American Dream.

What's the mission statement for any white supremency group? I would post it but I can't since my computer says it's a hate speech website.

If the facts were as you have presented them would could agree but at each point I ask for the "facts" of the case pertaining to this guy and you fail to do it.

You use the term "supremacist" quite freely and maybe you know more of the story than I do but why jump to the conclusion this guy is a white supremacist?

When Orthodox Jews separate themselves are they too supremacists?

When a person must be Black person to Join the Black caucus or the Black Journalists or the Black Policeman's /Black fireman's ferternity... are they supremacists too?

Why is it fine for everyone else to assemble in groups based on race........

Why is it fine for everyone else to lobby for the unique interests of their race.......

Why is it wonderful for every other race to celebrate distinct holidays history and accomplishments....

Bottom line, Be specific, What has THIS GUY done or said that makes him guilty of your assumptions.

I thought you of all people would be more careful about stereotyping folks.

What are you looking for Danno? The article in question has stated the woman and her husband has recieved several pieces of hate mail. Would you like to read them? Then contact her and ask for them.

Why am I jumping to conclusions about him being a white supremacist? "Paul Craig Cobb wants to transform the town 70 miles southwest of Bismarck into a community that mirrors his white supremacist views." Directly from the article. Try reading the whole thing, instead of trying to dismiss racism as an "unexplained event". Here's the rest of the story:

The Southern Poverty Law Center and The Bismarck Tribune revealed that the man, Paul Craig Cobb, 61, has been buying up property in this town of 24 people in an effort to transform it into a colony for white supremacists.

In the past two years, Mr. Cobb, a longtime proselytizer for white supremacy who is wanted in Canada on charges of promoting hatred, has bought a dozen plots of land in Leith (pronounced Leeth) and has sold or transferred ownership of some of them to a couple of like-minded white nationalists.

He is using Craigslist and white power message boards to entice others in the movement to take refuge in Leith, about two hours southwest of Bismarck. On one board, he detailed his vision for the community — an enclave where residents fly “racialist” banners, where they are able to import enough “responsible hard core” white nationalists to take control of the town government, where “leftist journalists or antis” who “come and try to make trouble” will face arrest.

The revelations have riveted this community and the surrounding area, drawing a range of reactions from disgust to disbelief to curiosity.

Ill answer your last questions with a simple question. When has white people ever been behind the curve in regards to anything here in the US?

-About the "letters".... why does she even have them to show the camera?, the SBI or FBI should be analyzing them if they are real.

-I ask for facts and you deliver the $PLC .....complete with not one source in their claims. Yet I did notice every place they asked for money they did provide a link.

-I don't know if the guy is a Separatist, a nationalist, a supremacist, a Neo-nazi..... what I do know is that people are free to believe what they want and as long as he is not breaking any laws, I say "so what"

-Anyway, who are you to JUDGE him? Why are you so pure that you can tell him how to live?

SO what..... he has a dream of attracting a lot of others who want to live like him..... BIG FRIGGIN DEAL, ever been in a gated community?

It is the exact same thing: People not wanting any of "them" moving in here.

Rich people do this all the time, they get an area zoned so that houses have to be a certain size before they can be built to keep out the lower income folks (those uneducated rubes out).

Groups do it based on race, ethnicity, affiliation whatever, you have a hang-up when the metric is "White".

I say go live your own life, if you try to move in up there and they break the law to stop you, take them to court, get Obama involved whatever, right now the man has not broken one law, don't be so quick to judge.

Cobb is a known white supremacist who advocates racial holy war and is promoting his property in Leith to others like him.

Cobb didn’t answer his door Tuesday and it’s believed he works during the week on a highway construction crew in the Killdeer area. Numerous efforts to reach him on his apparent cellphone were unsuccessful.

In a posting on the Internet, Cobb invites like-minded nationalists to join him in Leith to fly Nazi flags and other racialist banners and bring more “hard core” white nationalists.

County records show that Cobb has since transferred ownership of two lots: one to Tom Metzger, a former grand dragon of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in California, which founded the White Aryan Resistance, and another to Alex Linder, originator of the Vanguard News Network, a white supremacist website.

I have a problem with anyone who uses hate speech to intimidate anyone based on race, gender, or sexual preference.

Who really cares? Is someone who wants to live around people like himself a threat to people who are different anyway? It's amazing how a man who has done nothing to a community gets the attention of the "southern poverty law center" while the people who really do the damage are free to roam the streets preying on the black community. Where's the "poverty law center" voice on that issue?

9000 black people killed by other black people every year. More than total number of soldiers lost in 10 years of war + people lost in the attack that started it combined. YOU want to focus on this guy in some little Podunk town? It's amazing what gets focused on - ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, but the real problem for the black community and it is that the AMERICAN black community does not give a dam about themselves, bettering themselves, becoming self sufficient, and building better lives for themselves and their children. Of course immigrants who have the same skin color do not have the same problem so it sure is not the skin color, it's the people wearing it and the culture they have chosen to live under. Join them or not, but quit trying to distract attention or seek sympathy for their plight. None here. Stand up, be a friggin man, hold your head up, and then share what you did to others like you so that they can do it too.

What's a "racialist" banner anyway?

Himher has an "affinity" for anything that deals with black people in a negative light.

My contribution is this - why is what a white guy does in a tiny little town important to the "southern poverty law center" and since they only represent or care about the voice of the black community, exactly like cobb only cares about the white community, no difference, what harm is he doing to the black community?
