Native American Shot In Confrontation With ‘White Pride’ Group
The Arizona Republic
/September 29, 2008
A Phoenix bias crimes unit is investigating an attack on two Native American men by a group of white men and women wearing “White Pride” shirts that led to a second confrontation in which one of the Native Americans was injured by a gunshot wound to the leg.

This shows you that no racial group of people are immuned to the White Supremacist`s voracious hate. Even in unprovoked incidents such as in this case where the men were simply just walking home. Which is why we need to eliminate as much “White Power” from society as possible. Sending them skinheads off to prison is one way but only temporily for most them.
Likewise, they eventually will do it themselves by committing more attacks on innocent people, even women and children. Regardless of one`s race. Its always wise to arm yourself in case something like this happens to you.

White pride indeed! Where I come from, they have another name: LOSERS!
on October 2nd, 2008 at 10:26 am
As a long time Phoenix resident, I hope those nut cases are a very small minority.

White Pride are isolated Groups, with no support from the
People.

Ignorance is bad enough, but to proudly wear your ignorance on your shirt is stupid.
Ignorance is fixable, stupid is forever.
Now that Native Americans have the gaming franchise they will be able to eventually buy back the country thanks to all the white loser gamblers we find face down in the gutter with their pockets turned inside out. (a new stereotype?)
Drink beer, smoke cigarettes, talk tough, and gamble. Losers…. the real White Power.

In response to John A. Burrus.
Actually I beg to differ on your opinion. You claimed to have lived in the Phoenix area most of life(or just a long time resident)??? WN`s, neo-Nazis, Nativists are not a “small minority”. I will explain why–
1.) I live in Maricopa County but I won’t list which city or district. And I know the climate here. The racially intense atmosphere we live in. And I say this place has highest rates of discrimination, racism and bigotry than all the other cities I lived in.
2.) Maricopa County has a large increased WN presence. Whether you are Neo-Nazis, outlaw biker or racist Natavists. They’re everywhere here in the valley.
3.) You don’t seem to be following up on local media reports. Could it be that you`re ignorant? Its possible.
4.) You ever read the Phoenix New Times??? The Feathered Bastard??? Probably not.
5.) White Supremacists just had or are they having a large Neo-Nazis/white power concert held in Tonopah courtesy of the NSM and other neo-Nazis groups. Do you know where Tonopah is???
6.) Many residents of color(myself included) seemed to disagree with your opinion. Maricopa County has been a hotbed for racists since 9/11. Here in AZ, especially in M.C. is the epicenter for Immigration Battle.
7.) Communities have been odiously devided since Sheriff Joe conducted his first “racial profiling” crime suppression sweeps in the valley. Even if you’re not Hispanic American. You can still sense high tensions between Whites(mainly bikers, natavists and WNs) and Hispanics. Because of the very lowly actions by the Sheriff. You don’t to be White or Latino to see the tensions exist.
I just think you might be a little ignorant about what’s going on here in MC or your just one of those people who deny these facts.

Arizona was one of the last places to remove signs that read ” No dogs or Mexicans allowed “. Enough said !!!
on October 3rd, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Racism is such an insidious ugly ideology that rears its head when fear is their modus operandi. It is amazing that my father born and raised for a while in Phx, AZ back in the 1930s was, along with his family repatriated back to Mexico because they were Latinos. His mother was Native American (my grandmother) born in the US and still they throw them out! Fear is the mother of ignorance.
on October 4th, 2008 at 8:39 am
There’s no doubt about it. That the fact is Arizona happens to be one of the most biased states of Southwest. A Non-White candidate regardless of their political affliations have no place in the political arena in Maricopa County. The SPLC should set up another office in Phoenix to keep track of the racist inbreeds that roam the valley. That’s where the action is.
on October 4th, 2008 at 11:56 am
We can build a Fence around those outlaws and keep in
isolated and boycot their bussines and see what happen
on October 5th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Hmmm, If they were blacks that had on black pride shirts I wonder if this would be the same article only the other way around? I doubt it.
on October 6th, 2008 at 8:32 am
I am with you Geno88. Any person who is a member of any minority group who has been the victim of some sort of oppression or act of hate motivated violence should protect themselves under rights guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment.

It would be nice if all of the racially conscious white people in this country could remove themselves to the sidelines and allow the liberals and the minorities to have control of the nation.
Let me tell you how things would progress…
The first thing to occur would be the subjugation and likely extermination of all the silly, white hippies and homosexuals. They are weak and will not be respected by the other ethnic groups.
The second thing to happen will be a struggle for superiority between the Hispanics and the Negroes. The Hispanics, not being restrained by the guilt complex that paralyzes the white people, will easily defeat the Negroes.
The third and final phase will be the conquering of the Hispanics by Asians. The people from the Asian nations are more numerous and are generally better educated than the people from Latin America. Since the “Colonial Powers” were expelled from Africa, the Chinese have begun to exploit the Continent.
Perhaps, if we are fortunate, in between the second and third phases, we can reassert ourselves and regain control. One thing is certain, this land will never again be the sole province of the various, distinct and warring factions known collectively as “Native Americans”.
The simple fact is; The strong will subdue the weak and the educated and skilled will dominate the ignorant and incapable.
on October 7th, 2008 at 10:40 am
After years of terrorizing Blacks, Natives, Jews and then Hispanics(in light of illegal immirgation showdown). Its only a matter of time before Asians too are targetted by WNs. This will eventually lead to White Supremacy obliteration. But the vast majority of Whites are by a large margin–racially equal and at ease with many diverse groups of people regardless of their racial ethnicity.
Neo-Nazis and other subterrane sects of neanderthals will probably effaced into attrition. Because they, for some well known or unknown reasons, just can’t seem to co-exist with others without retorting to idealogies that contrabutes to their self demise. Its a pity, I know.
Having friends and allies in a show of racial unity in the name of mankind is a force that can’t be broken.
on October 7th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
The only difference between a blue eyed White Supremacist and a brown eyed White Supremacist is that the brown eyed one is full of it ……and the blue eyed one is running a quart low.
Thanks Cowtown for proving that point!!!!
on October 7th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
It is embarrasing to read the drivel of the Cowtown Rebel but enlightening to see how the ignorant can reduce the future of the nation to 3 points. Likewise, it is noteworthy that when CR writes “if we are fortunate … we can reassert ourselves and regain control,” Cowpie Rebel’s white supremacy orientation is put on display in contrast to his first paragraph where he seeks to hide his bias.
Oh, this old son of the west grew up in Southern AZ in the 50s and 60s and actually worked on ranches, went to school with Native Americans, Mexicans, Chicanos, Asians and African Americans and appreciates and loves all the various cultures that are our nation, which is not a white, Christian nation but rather American the beautiful with peoples of all colors, nationalities, religions and the non religious. Let’s keep on Teaching Tolerance and get away from cowpie level wisdom, eradicate racism, and build a better world.

Sonofthemarx,
I did grow up among minorities. I’ve seen neighborhoods fall to slums. I’ve seen standards of education reduced and I’ve seen the elderly Caucasian inhabitants of the blighted region, where I grew up, victimized by minority predators.
An excellent book about the area I grew up in is:
Left Behind in Rosedale by Scott Cummings, Westview Press
The interesting thing is that the area has gone from being almost completely White up until the mid 70′s to becoming mostly Black until the late 90′s and is now predominantly Hispanic.
KKKustah Killah 49,
Your “Nom De Guerre” immediately identifies you as a moron. As for your ridiculous “Racial Unity” theory, I suggest that you watch some video tape footage of the Rodney King Riots and take note of the Korean business owners walking the roofs of their establishments toting AK47′s. You may also want to check into the ongoing conflicts between the Black and Latino street gangs. These are the clearest indications of where our precious diversity is leading us.
on October 8th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Cowpuke Rebuttal,
“Non De Guerre”
(Huh?)
KK49–First, try speaking English for once. No Sieg Speak Germanik here.
Anyway, before I get to the point of addressing your pointless reply, try taking your head out of your a** and open your beady little eyes when I meant “racial unity”.
And I could point out numerous items based on known facts. And by opening your flippin` eyes most can be true through anecdotal observerance. Just to name a few. Here’s what you need to look at to in order to emphasize why you are wrong on racial unity.
Let me put it this way–
If the country wasn’t for racial unity we wouldn’t have:
1.) Militarial strength in terms of the number of Non-White enlistees who comprised of X number of our military powers.
2.) Law enforcement agencies of every level make up of an X number of Non-Whites who are responsible for fighting crime.
3.) A Black candidate for 2008 presidential bid whose VP`s is also White. Go figure.
4.) Half of the Republitoons Bush`s Administration were Non-White as there are Jews.
5.) This year`s counter protest of the Jena 6 in response to KKK/NSM march was a show of force in a 10 to 1 ratio where the counter protest comprised of Whites/Non-Whites by the hundreds(if not then thousands). Sadly for your ilk which made up of only 30 individuals or less.
And so on and so on.
Your juxtaposition of L.A.`s street gang violence to the general population of Blacks and Hispanics asasine implied is moronic as it is lame. That impugned notion doesn’t belong.
But try remembering this–
There is a difference between *rhetoric* and *reality*. In other words, you are so gullible to believe in an idealogy that’s so illusory conjoined by wishful thinking. None of it is actually true.
You have no mantra.

What? Nobody wants to play anymore? Well, that’s what usually happens to me when I begin to trump my opponents in a debate. They simply bow out and leave me with the last word, out of fear that I will continue to challenge their established perceptions and force them to reconsider their positions.
So, unless someone else wants to step up to the plate, (Other than that Criswell clown, whose comments are so juvenile that they’re not even worthy of a response), I will leave you with this final note….
Have y’all seen the story about Kristen Bryden, the Sin Fransicko activist murdered by the wonderful inhabitants of the Cresent City? It seems that this diversity celebrating, Neo-Commie was going across the country hitchhiking and staying in the homes of strangers. She apparently was networking among other Bohemian Libtards in an effort to implement a preposterous economic and social agenda. Apparently, she was also working to campaign for Balack Hussein Osama. While in “The Big Sleazy”, she got the brilliant idea to go bicycling through the 9th ward at two o’clock in the morning. There her Utopian idealism clashed with reality. Reality prevailed.

“What? Nobody wants to play anymore? Well that’s what usually happens to me when I began to trump over my opponents in a debate.”
KK49: You still couldn’t even address my last response to you when you hardly trumped over anything pertaining to actual truths regarding racial unity. So the least you could do is retort to immaturity and puny narcissism. Many here actually think its a waste of time debating someone whose mind is so narrowed that even a flea could fall off. You hardly trumphed at all, as did many of those little National Socialists marches.
“I will continue to challenge their established perceptions to force them to reconsider their positions.”
KK49: What “positions” based on “their perceptions” are you referring to again? Because the last time I check(like today). Our “positions” is simply to vigoriously detest racism and hate instigated by the lowly White Supremacists such as youself is our “position”. You could hardly or even barely cite a spark of “reconsideration” in anyone who strongly opposes such idealogies consistant with White Supremacy/neo-Nazism. That’s a pretty weak statement directed to a crowd who regard your kind as something they rather seen you disassociated and silenced at your own discord.
Once again your arguement is grossly flawed and fatuous. Its like telling a Non-White to kill his own family for the sake of another race who despises him for the exact same reasons. That logical thinking is simply retarded. Rather its more like an illogical fallacy supported without balance. You simply don’t have a solid case of arguement for sake of debate.

Last night at 10pm local tiime. ABC15 did a report on the local neo-Nazis movement(such as the National Vanguard, the ones who were promoting “White Pride”.) It stated that the local movement here in AZ is actually growing up from 17 new hategroups were created compared to just 12 from the year before. They cited some of SPLC`s sources of facts. One factor could be blamed for such a rapid increase was a result of illegal immigration. This is a cause for alarm and the local public should remain vigalante. The people who were interviewed on camera(the same crowd who were toting “White Pride” signs near a street corner as cars passed by) were saying that they were a peaceful group.(WTF?!)
Hello?!
This is the exact same group who shot at Native Americans for no real apparent reason and you call that a “peaceful group”??? Sorry, I don’t buy that crap. The guy who said that could be either have been a retard or he just joined up that same day. Regardless, I think its a grave and dire threat we all must take seriously.

Rather than try to respond to this posting in my own words, I decided to post the following quote from the great Lakota teacher, Black Elk, He?áka Sápa, 1863-1950. He was a Wi?háša Wak?á? (Medicine Man or Holy Man) of the Oglala Lakota.
“The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells Wakan-Tanka (Great Mystery), and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men.” (Black Elk)
