Quote:On March 15, 2014 groups of white supremacists from all around the world will be holding a ‘White Man March.’ At least that’s what is being claimed on the internet and social media sites like facebook and twitter. After doing a little research, however, I see this ‘huge event’ being about as popular as ‘Ex-gay Lobby Day On Capital Hill,’ and about as successful as one of the Tea Party’s many rallies to ‘Take Over Congress And Impeach President Obama.‘ What is the White Man March? According to the event page the White Man March isn’t really a planned march. It’s more of an attempt by a few racist idiots to spread their propaganda ( http://whitemanmarch.com/what-is-the-white-man-march-all-about/) across the US and apparently around the world. The website and facebook page basically exist to encourage other people to distribute the group’s flyers and posters, and to plan ‘pro-white’ events in their own communities. An overview of the White Man March propaganda includes: ?Anti-racism is a code word for anti-white. ?White supremacist is an anti-white slur. ?Diversity is a code word for white genocide. ?White people are suffering from racial discrimination. ?There’s no such thing as white privilege. ?Hitler was a hero who was simply defending his race. What can you expect to see happen on March 15? While there is a website and facebook group designed to promote the White Man March, the actual number of interested participants isn’t quite thousands. The facebook group can boast 193 active members ( http://whitemanmarch.com/members/), but many of them appear to be fake accounts and duplicate accounts. There seems to be very little planned ‘pro-white’ activity. One person calling himself ‘John Mnsota’ ( http://whitemanmarch.com/groups/minnesota/) appears to be trying to gather support for a White Man March against Lutheran Social Services and World Relief Services. His group, however, currently has one member, which is himself. The largest group I could find was one claiming to be from Centralia Illinois ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/677352212288254/). That group has 119 members, but with names like ‘Hushits Asecret, ( https://www.facebook.com/hushits.asecret.54)’ it’s pretty clear that many of these are not real people. Take Dave Englisc ( https://www.facebook.com/dave.englisc.5), for example, who created a facebook account in November, and lists his hometown as Liverpool, UK. Will Dave really be travelling from Liverpool to march in a White Man March in the state of Illinois? I suppose it is remotely possible, but it is also highly unlikely. Then there’s Barry Horowitz ( https://www.facebook.com/barry.horowitz.146), also a member of the Illinois group. This person created his facebook page on February 15, 2014. He appears to be using his page for promoting the White Man March, as well as for reminding his small number of fake facebook followers that America has a (wait for it) black president. Will there be thousands marching around the world? There’s a group in Colorado ( http://whitemanmarch.com/groups/colorado/) with one member, that might be participating in a White Man March. Another group calling itself the American Freedom Party ( http://whitemanmarch.com/groups/american-freedom-party/), has 6 members, and appears to be trying to find a couple of people in Texas and maybe Louisianna. Then there is the group that calls itself the Northern New England Group ( http://whitemanmarch.com/groups/northern-new-england-group/), which has 2 members. That group covers the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and ‘Massajewsetts.’ So that’s one member for every two states. Also, there’s a place for people to share their ‘Ideas for Activism’ ( http://whitemanmarch.com/groups/ideas-for-activism/). That group has 9 members and 6 poster designs, but no mention of a plan to march. According to a person calling himself Ralph, a white supremacist group in Arizona tried to have a white man’s BBQ last year ( http://whitemanmarch.com/groups/american-freedom-party/), but only 11 people showed up. If you can’t even get support for your hateful, ignorant views with a BBQ, that should tell you something. On top of that, if the white supremacist movement can’t even gain traction in the state of Arizona, I have a feeling it’s not going to do well in other states either. There will always be stupid people who spend their time creating fake facebook profiles and designing posters full of hate messages, in hopes that they’ll find their way to other idiots who look and think like them. What they don’t seem to understand is that to the majority of people, they look and sound like exactly what they are, idiots.

Quote: A smattering of white people on Saturday stood up to discrimination against their race that exists only in their minds. The so-called "White Man March" was the brainchild of an organizer named Kyle Hunt, who wrote on his website that he expected "thousands" of people to take part in "coordinated pro-white activity." By the looks of it, his vision may have been a bit lofty. The demonstrations appear to have mostly involved a few people here and there holding up signs decrying "diversity." There was some participation though. Individuals from Missouri, Arkansas and even New Zealand posted photos on the event's website. Most of the photos showed no more than a couple white guys holding banners that read "'DIVERSITY' = WHITE GENOCIDE," apparently the event's rallying cry. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported on a local group in Florence, Ky. that held pro-white signs at a busy intersection for a few hours on Saturday. Robert Randsell, who organized the event in Florence, said white people were overdue for their own movement. "As far as anyone in opposition, I would say it is 2014. That is one thing you guys love to say, 'it is 2014, how can these racists be out here?' Well, it is 2014. It has been six or seven decades since white people stood up for themselves and it is about time we start doing so," Ransdell told the Enquirer. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/white-man-march

It's pretty much all liberal media discussing it. If it wasn't for that, nobody'd even know about it.

Between the rightwingnuts fellating them at every turn and corner, and the US Govt financing them (proven fucking FACT, this) without that support they'd just dry up and blow away. -F

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: Yes, Mark, I fully understand why those on the right would prefer we didn't talk about their most extreme elements. Certainly the guys behind this "march" don't represent "the right"--tho' Rap would immediately claim they represent "The Left" if there was any equivalent. They are a small, embarrassing minority like the Westboros, no decent conservative would have anything to do with them. But the fact is, they exist, and Geezer's attempt to say it's "just the left" or just me who covers them is a lie: http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2014/03/white_man_march_comes_to_tempe.php http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/dailyrft/2014/03/white_man_march_missouri.php http://observer.com/2014/03/beyond-the-pale-the-white-man-march-is-coming-to-new-york/ http://www.azfamily.com/news/White-Man-March-planned-for-Tempe-Saturday-250377641.html http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2014/03/13/The-White-Man-March-is-coming-to-a-city-near-you-on-Saturday/4161394728790/ http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/local/florence/2014/03/15/florence-white-man-march/6460529/ http://www.torontosun.com/2014/03/15/white-man-march-khaki-clad-men-march-for-white-pride The fact that I bring such things to the attention of those on this one little forum has nothing to do with anything; nobody has to read anything they don't want to, and the fact that they're an embarrassment to the right is not our problem.
