Threats Against Obama Growing as Inauguration Nears

Mark Potok on January 18, 2009, Posted in Anti-Black

With the Tuesday inauguration of Barack Obama drawing nearer by the hour, threats against the first black man to be elected U.S. president are growing more heated.

On Friday, neo-Nazi threatmeister Hal Turner, amplifying on an earlier posting suggesting that it would be a good thing to use an unmanned drone carrying explosives to attack inaugural crowds, said a mass murder of those attending the festivities “would be a public service.” “I won’t say what may happen Tuesday but I will say this,” Turner wrote on his blog. “After Tuesday, the name Hal Turner may live in infamy. Let it be known that I saw what was necessary and decided to do what had to be done. I make no apology to those affected or their families.”

Earlier, on Jan. 11, Turner had posted photos to his blog, under the headline “My Inauguration Dream,” of a small, unmanned aerial drone, an electronic guidance system and sticks of dynamite as he laid out one method of attack. He also discussed the possibility of sending up balloons filled with helium and a “payload” and fitted with fuses that would explode the balloons over the crowds. And he displayed a grainy video that purported to show that method being tested. “Too far fetched?” Turner asks of a possible balloon attack. “It got tested and it worked! … Watch the video and imagine what payload, other than the index cards taped to the outside of the test balloons, might be substituted? HMMMMMM. Might be something messy? Something contagious? Something deadly? Ahhhh, such possibilities!” Then, last Thursday, he posted an update, saying: “All the assets that need to be in-place for next week are now in-place; deep within the security perimeter. Everything is a ‘go.’ We have crossed the Rubicon; let history judge us well.”

Turner, a North Bergen, N.J., man who in years past has been paid as an FBI informant even while making threats over the Internet (a relationship that ended after it was revealed on this blog and harshly criticized by law enforcement experts), said the attacks were deserved because of a whole series of government misdeeds. He added that it would be “a public service” to kill African Americans (“sub-human simians”) and white people (“mentally-ill Whites”) who attend the festivities. “Wouldn’t it be a great day for American and the world to see our federal government dealt with in such a fashion?” Turner asked. “Stay tuned…..”

Also on Friday, federal authorities arrested a Wisconsin man for threatening to assassinate Obama in a posting to an Internet site about UFOs and extraterrestrial aliens. Steven Joseph Christopher, 42, was arrested in Brookhaven, Miss., because of a Jan. 11 posting that read: “Yes, I have decided I will assassinate Barack Obama. It’s really nothing personal about the man. … But I know it’s for the country’s own good that I can do this. Barack Obama, I view more as a sacrificial lamb… .”

Christopher also allegedly posted a note saying, “It’s not because I’m racist that I will kill Barack, it’s because I can no longer allow the Jewish parasites to bully their way into making the American people submit to their evil ways.” It wasn’t clear if Christopher had real links to radical-right groups, but he has posted close to 70 YouTube videos, many of them short rants like the one limited to a single sentence: “Fuck you, Jew.” Many of them begin with the notation, “Jew Censor Alert.” One says simply, “I’m going to fucking kill you.” And in still another, he showed his familiarity with at least one figure well known on the radical right as he launched into a bitter attack on Alex Jones, a conspiracist radio show host. Christopher has also said that God is ordering “everyone” to move to Florida by Dec. 31, a contention he repeated as he left a Jackson, Miss., courthouse in handcuffs after an initial appearance.

In an unrelated case, state and federal authorities announced the Friday arrests of three white men for allegedly burning down a predominantly black church in Springfield, Mass., hours after Obama’s election. The three — Benjamin Haskell, 22, Michael Jacques, 24, and Thomas Gleason, 21 — were charged with conspiring to deprive the church congregation of their civil rights. Macedonia Church of God in Christ’s almost completed new building was set afire with gasoline before dawn on Nov. 5, just hours after television stations called the election for Obama.

As the details of these cases unfolded Friday, authorities in Washington, D.C., were clamping down security for the inauguration to an unprecedented extent. No white supremacist groups are known to be planning to come to the capital Tuesday, but one gay-bashing hate group, the Westboro Baptist Church (known chiefly for its infamous website, Godhatesfags.com, and rallies at soldiers’ funerals), is reportedly planning to protest along the inaugural parade route. Another group, the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, has asked its member to wear black armbands and hang “yankee flags” upside down on Tuesday and Wednesday. But there was no indication that the Indiana-based group had plans to travel to Washington.

Still, the chatter of Hal Turner’s site was not reassuring, especially given the two alleged white supremacist plots to kill Obama already broken up in Colorado and Tennessee. “Why talk about it?” asked “Reck Less Abandon” in a comment after Turner’s post suggesting ways of attacking the inaugural ceremonies. “JUST FUCKING DO IT.” Another poster, “PragmaticSaxon,” proposed adding an explosive gas to “bubonic plague or anthrax” in the balloons: “The exploding balloons will spread the pathogens and have massive effect on the masses of useless feeders that put that fucking nigger in office,” he wrote.

    I guess if you locked up every idiot who has talked about killing Obama and other African-Americans we could not build enough prisons. But some of these guys have yelled “fire” in the theater so often of late that they are inciting others to commit violence against Obama and isn’t that illegal under federal law, at least?

    First of all, before I rant on, allow me to say that how stupid can these WNs get??? They are getting dumber by the years, if not–days.
    Normally, I don’t post on here to admonish the SPLC, so this would be my first…..
    Why in the retardation of the WN, do you guys still report on Hal Turner??? The nut is boring!
    What is it about Hal Turner that facinates you???
    Sure the psycho-turd reicher was a “paid informat for the FBI”, and he has a blackmail agreement with the Feds, which is why he is allowed to continue his vintaged regurtitations. Whether his egregious threats(credible or not) is legit. its clear to everyone with a logical piece of mind. That not only is he a “paid informat” but a possible agent employed by the zionist occupied government. If I could place a wager, my bet would be it that the Jews will possibly assasinate Obama, not the retarded WNs! Simply, put it this way, if a non-White Lone Wolf were to makie the exact same kind of threats at David Duke or Ron Paul. Surely the average Lone Wolf would have been arrested with or without incident. And here we still have a threat spewing troglodyte infamously known as Hal Turner, who is currently protected by the FBI, through one of their relocation programs.

    But in the end, I don’t think Obama will be assasinated. To me, these nonsense are but only exaggerated content in an effort to instill fear in the masses of the gullible WNs. And if he were ever to be assasinated, blame the zionists, not the WNs! The retarded WNs do not possessed the means to carry out an assasination, much less gather intelligence. The Jews have that capability, used in order to scapegoat the pathetic WN and both are deemed the enemy.

    THE NAME HAL TURNER DOES LIVE IN INFAMY ! He naturally was an informant (most of those jokers are) and anyone who would attack the Office of the Presidency is a public enemy. If someone does not like the decisions being made, that’s your right. But to attack the Office of the Presidency is a Federal offense. He knows that; being a paid stool for the feds, but he probably is ashamed of his past actions having become public. (they all are). – So he shoots his mouth off.
    Most of these WN guys are all blowhards. The guys who don’t spew this crap publicly are the Tim McVeigh’s of this world; who kill children (to protest killing children).
    Thankfully we have a system that protects the Office of our government better than any of these mini-Hitlers can imagine.
    Whether you voted for the guy or didn’t; he is OUR President. He represents the Will of the People! To blather on about harming the office-holder is the height of un-American, anti-Constitutional diseased thinking.

    This is EXACTLY what I’m talking about when I said that White nationalism will NEVER take hold in the USA. Our skin color is NOT our nation! That is ridiculous & most every man & woman who has an ounce of sense would agree.
    The concept doesn’t make sense and is so Un- Constitutional, that anyone who has some deep love for the concepts that made our country great are repelled by it.

    Sharper minds than all these jackasses tried to make WN fly. They had money, they had networking, they had shortwave listeners, they had printed material – AND THEY FAILED! The failed because Americans by nature don’t like the bullshit that regimentation of racial nationalism brings with it. They failed because it’s actually diseased thinking to believe that one man is better because he has some odd blood-line. Even in the animal world a “pure-bred” eventually get’s “so pure” it gets specific diseases brought about by inbreeding. And the idea of “breeding humans” is disgusting to American ways of thinking & living. They failed because all the rhetoric they spout means nothing to all the veterans who fought & died, side by side with each other so that wimps could shoot their mouths off. They failed because when they hit the prison walls they nearly fainted with fright & they ratted out everyone they could think of.
    That’s one thing you can have faith in about WN. They hate going to prison so much, they will rat every man, woman, & child in the phone book. Their loyalty extends as far as the keyboard to keep the kiddy-porn flowing….. Disgusting is what comes to mind when the average American thinks of them; that’s true. But it’s only half the story. They are a fifth column of filth & degeneracy. They actually want to destroy America: they will tell you as much if you talk with them for any period of time.

    Acceptance not Hate

    It is rhetoric that is spewed by such as Turner, White etc. that has continued to stereotype the entire white race.

    We of the Alabama Christian Klan began our quest in 2006 in an effort to bring it to the attention of our trusted associates that there will be change that cannot be avoided and or delayed.

    Over the past year and this very historic election, We, instead of focusing on the negative have gazed at the possibilities of positive unions with those that racial divide has kept True Christians of all colors separated for so many years.

    Today MLK day 31 of our members are preparing to attend the Inaugural festivities at the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham. NO, we are not intending to let our presence be known or even to criticise in an adverse fashion. No robes , No chants, no cards, flyer’s or public displays of stupidity.

    this is the turning point that we have all anticipated, our goal is to silently Change the mindset of the Magic City and to be recognized as the City of Forgiveness.

    Our presence at the inaugural will be one of great Acceptance and most of all we want to witness the genuine emotion and feelings by those who have fought for freedom and intend to enjoy the satisfaction that we of the ACK have done our part to prepare for the outcome.

    With that in mind, I must point out that racial divide will not end , and possibly will escalate into further hostility especially if folks like Turner and White are allowed to represent the innocent and understanding White Population.

    We have watched with awe the stress and strife’s of Mayor Larry Langford and he is certainly aware that the ACK is not a threat to the well being of the City.

    Today will begin the initiation of a Compliant Klan, take notice, all things must change and all Americans must become humbled and anxious to take advantage of the positive ventures ahead.

    Certain individuals continue to cause embarrassment and grief to those of us who wish to proceed with building an open line of communication.

    We call out to all Klanspeople to consider the possibilities of our own freedom and to take advantage of the present events. Remember, we have other issues that affect our Nation, Liberty, and Safety.

    I honestly cannot understand how people like Hal Turner are permitted to spew that sort of hate! If in fact someone had said we should kill Bush or Cheney, you know damned well, they would have been locked up for good. Why is it these people can get away with obvious threats. Yes maybe they are lunatics, but lunatics DO kill people! Free Speech is one thing, but HATE SPEECH is something completely different!

    ‘It is rhetoric that is spewed by Turner, White etc. that has continued to stereotype the entire white race.”

    Actually, you’re a bit misquoted there in that context. The tawdry nadir rhetorics spat out by Turner & White is only limited to the WN/neo-nazi movement, which is pretty much a baseless movement altogether. WNs are not to be mistaken for the general White population. And that’s a continued problem for the Whites of today is because of the WNs that give a common decent White folk a bad name. And I can see why the white supremacists are not welcomed in many places.
    They claimed that Obama`s presidency will somehow galvanize the notion that their “movement” will grow to the point where a supposed “revolution” will take place. Yet, a “revolution” in this dire times will only further the already damaged and struggling economy. With Mexico(along with Pakistan) now being placed on the list of countries on the brink of governmental/economic collaspe the WNs will surely put White America at greater risk than the contrary.

I live in southern Indiana, and am hard-pressed to find non-racist people around me, yet our state went to Obama which has helped restore my faith in our country. Let’s hope and pray that these psycho idots don’t win!

    It may seem as conspiratorial as some of Hal’s rantings, but I have to suspect Hal as some kind of honeypot for the feds, someone they allow to do this, so they can gather intel on those who flock to him.

    I can’t really think of any other reason why he wouldn’t be prosecuted, or at the very least, like many other people who post strong comments about the president on the internet, visited and questioned by the SS.

    I first heard of Hal Turner today. But I can tell he thinks he’s important. He might think he’s a patriot warrior, since he “flushes” out the crazies for the FBI with his WN song and dance. He may have justified making money by acting like a hateful WN moron, while also being smart enough to be some kind of double-agent. In the end though, like so many of the WNs, he’s a scared little post-middle-aged man–weak and pathetic.

    I’d bet he can’t fight for shit; I’d bet he is a coward with the penis of a twelve year old boy. Sure he’s a big talker, with his radio and TV and FBI-emails–he loves to talk to anyone who’ll listen…because it makes him money, gets him noticed, and makes him feel intelligent, important and powerful. All the things he is not. The only people weaker than him are those who listen and agree with him. Of course, if they’re more intelligent than him (not racist), he’ll attack them; and if they’re morons (racist), but more powerful and less cowardly than him (crazy enough to try to actually do something), he’ll “flush” them out and turn them in…etc. All the while, he gets to think he’s the man and collect his paycheck. It’s a good gig–the best he can hope for anyway.

    “carter” observeth that


    anyone who would attack the Office of the Presidency is a public enemy. If someone does not like the decisions being made, that’s your right. But to attack the Office of the Presidency is a Federal offense. He knows that; being a paid stool for the feds, but he probably is ashamed of his past actions having become public.

    Beg pardon, but could we please have specific legal citations in the United States Code as to the supposed Federal offence of “attack[ing] the Office of the Presidency,” let alone specific penalties of fine and/or penal servitude?

    As if that weren’t enough, the Department of Homeland Security issued the following Security Alert @ 10h30 EST (as posted @ RawStory.com):


    The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security (including the USSS) and the intelligence community are coordinating with other law enforcement authorities to investigate and analyze recently received information about a potential threat on Inauguration Day. This information is of limited specificity and uncertain credibility. Authorities at all levels are vigorously pursuing any lead relating to this threat information. The Transition Team has been briefed and is fully integrated into the process.

    There is an unprecedented level of security involving more than 58 federal, state and local agencies for this Inauguration, and related events. As we have previously said, Inauguration events could present an attractive target due to the large public gatherings and participation of many dignitaries. Authorities are constantly reviewing security measures in light of this threat information, as we would with any threat information.

    We encourage the public attending Inauguration events to go about their normal plans. As always, we remind the public to be both thoughtful and vigilant about their surroundings, and to notify authorities of any suspicious activity. We also remind the public that they can expect very high levels of security at Inauguration events, and we ask for their patience and cooperation.

    Turner is obviously a nut, or on someones payroll. It’s obvious by the fact that he hasn’t been arrested by the Secret Service already. To allow that nutcase provocateur to continue to incite people is unacceptable. “Blackmail agreement” or not, that guy should be arrested and charged.

    I’m curious as to why anyone would intentionally attract this kind of attention to himself…

    Is he a serious threat or some freak jerk-off trying out for his 15 seconds of fame? If a black man had said the same about Bush or any other president (besides Obama), he’d have been buried underneath a prison cell and executed without a trial.

    Isn’t this just as much against the law? Why hasn’t the nutcase been arrested?

    responding to Joe the Teacher,

    I know you were talking about Turner, but……….
    You described David A. Yeagley aka Badeagle to the capital “T”. He claims Patriot Warrior also, hides behind the keyboard hammering away denigrating statements about Obama, and includes Michelle, just because he Hates Blacks. He is also a scared little post-middle aged man, weak and pathetic and all the other things you described of Turner………exactly.

    Forget about “Yeagley”, and I’m not sure why you keep bringing him up as if you’re obssessed with the guy. Believe me, Yeagley is an intellectual isolate, and he doesn’t have influences on society. Rationale people could give a wit about him.
    Besides, every True Native knows he is a fake as Hal Turner is to the embeciled WN.
    And I hope you’re not gonna make a fool of yourself again by prattling away on the un-necessary retarded insinuations.

    After all maybe Hal Turner is just an asset.
    I though the FBI was smarter than that, not to employ Hal Turner or give him a platform to utter his impedimental rants. But at least, they are insulting the WN`s intelligence, hoping they are retarded enough to buy into his crap. Ha.
    But as retarded as the WNs are, perhaps Hal Turner might not be such a bad thing.
    Like I said, he’s an asset, you know, like a booby-trap.

Obama, of all the prayers around world heard, on international tv and in private, proves that God Almighty is on our side.
    But he(Obama) also must be protected from zionists who wish to drag us into their war-mongering agendas and their continued policies that threatens our Freedom and our country. He must be protected from the zionists who may betray him. For the zionists cannot be trusted, nor a trusted ally.

Have you actually read the Hate this person has spewed against Obama and now his wife, just because he Hates Blacks, nothing personal he says……I say HAH!

    I don’t mind being called a “FOOL” nor a retard, if it helps my Comanche Nation to be more aware of yeagleys’ tactics..call it what your want, but you seem to be absessed with my posts also!

    like yeagley says, “it helps to keep on top of your enemies” he is an enemy to the Native People…..read him more without being obsessed with him. Remember this isn’t about me….at all….this is about HATE! I Love America, and my People, he says Indians are Anti-America…not so!

    Gradually, The Importance of Skin Color fades as Obama was elected. We all discriminate, language is one of the major ones. Dr. J. P Guilford, using a multidimensional factor analysis, has 180 factors which compose intelligence. Some psychologists have abandoned the single number which predicted school ability.

    Obama appears to have a unique mind and experiences which should make him an excellent president.

    We must continue to protect him from extremists. The SPLC data indicates our lacks in this regard. Can we help the Near East control them also?

All they care about is that a black man is being inaugurated and that he beat a white man.Now he has to proove himself.Never going to happen.He will never con the enemy with his stupid lies.That won`t work in this real world.YES,I hate him,because I was capable of seeing through him,and did not let black color make up my mind.This man is a lier and will proove in time that he has no knowledge of his present position.This man is not one to be trusted and I couldn`t care less about what you try to say to cover his a%%.I care about our way of life and what will happen to the people of this country,because of your stupidy of denying the facts about him.You that voted for him know this to be true,but when the color thing wears off you will be face will the question of WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING .WHEN I VOTED FOR THIS MAN?????????

    Gaetano,

    I certainly hope we can protect the Obamas. After the 17th Train ride from Philly and the swearing in, I finially took a good breather, but maybe thats what some are waiting for, a break!

    The freedom of expression that the U.S. Constitution grants us is at times our worst enemy, but God love us WE HAVE IT!

    Getting too use and comfortable with aversion is how Jim Jones and others lured whole families into their cult.

    As Americans, maybe we got too used to the way of the past. This country was supposidly created by White Anglo European Christians. From what I have read, with an open mind, The first non-Indian people who claimed the land, did not act very Christian.

    Perhaps we got too used to Great White Way, thinking there was no other, then came Obama!

    I am Brown, I stand on the outside really, but I think your right about Obamas’ experiences, and one day will be included.

    FBI AGENTS protecting and supporting H Turner need to be stripped of all powers now! H Turner needs to be arrested pure and simple, locked up, and if possible rehabilitated from his Aryan Disease. Aryan politics is illegal by the United States Constitution and not a person is in full legality who practices it by radio. I’d like to see the KKK be illegalized once and for all. If a law would support anti KKK rallies it would help make America great. I don’t think KKK members are mentally ill as much as brain washed by ignorant teachers.

    After reading the hate mail, and the huge number of comments asking why we even pay attention to the white supremists and Turner specifically, I believe it is important to understand how these people feel and the threats they make. I am a teacher, and not only have I tought my students about the political process by studying the primaries and the general election and the inauguration by studying each facet of it, then watching it on the 20th, but I’ve also shared with them many of the SPLC hate watch articles. I don’t want my African American students or my Caucasian students to believe racism in this country is dead, simply because we elected an African American man as President. I think it is important for them to understand that racism still exists in this country and that the work started by Martin Luther King still has a lot more to do. The final in my lessons on African Americans in this country will be the study of “come-backs.” We’ll learn what can we say when subtle racist comments are made to or around us, and what we can do that shows others we personnally will not tolerate these kinds of acts and/or words. My students all have autism. Even though many of their learning levels are below their middle-school levels, they have become passionate about creating an environment of safety and companionship within their multi-cultural classroom. I am extremely proud of them.

    I thought it was a felony to threaten the president …but Strom Thurman made a veiled threat against Clinton while in commitee, that was televised and no one said a word. I think unless you are willing to “Guantonimo” these guys, locking them up only makes them seem important. I’m sure President and First Lady Obama knew full well the risks involved in seeking the highest office in the land. However, NO MATTER WHAT happens, the social dynamics of our country have been irrevocably altered for the better.

    My comment was agreeing with Mr. Schindler, NOT gaetano, I would think gaetano was yeagley, but publicly yeagley does not use vulgar language, he uses his psychology and education to demean anyone, especially the Native American! But who knows who anyone is on the net!

    Bad thought cause illness of the Mind, Body and especially Spirit, but to be able to express yourself in a good way helps to alleviate and maybe cleanse, if vulgarity is your way….maybe thats good for you but is not everyones cup of tea! But this is about HATE!

    gaetano: It sounds to me like someone promised you a piece of boottail if you voted for Obama and then didn’t deliver after he won.

    Are you, like, retarded, jealous, or what?

    I’m black and I was on Team Obama 18 months before he won–educating black folk, keeping them informed and getting them registered to vote, so don’t come in here with those jealous-raving lunatic lies about what “black” people care and don’t care about. Which “black” people are you talking about, or talking to? You don’t know what “black people” know. All you know about is some of the half-cut blacks you know that don’t bother to educate themselves. If those are the kind of black folk you know, you need to get a life and find yourself a new set of friends.

    You sound like a raving lunatic with a mental problem and badly in need of a case of Prozac and some Valium for dessert. Bottom line, Obama won, fair and square, and your ranting isn’t going to change the situation.

    It’s against the law to threaten a United States Federal official who is white, it should be against the law to threaten a black one also. I certainly hope the nutcase who’s threatening him is an undercover FBI informant and that’s the reason they haven’t arrested his sorry low-classed uneducated backwaters racist tailfeathers yet.

    Dr. I agree with your wit as some of the Wizards and instructors that recruit for aggressive Klan’s are way behind on the issues that continue to press all races.
    The training materials and literature speak for the character of leaders.
    However , the new day of the Klan is not a racial one by any means, the focus is on Christianity which is something that whites share with blacks in the same respect.
    The fact that Baptist churches were bombed should make every identity crusader contemplate the shame of the innocent Klanspeople of that era.

    If recruits are taught to protect their heritage there must be an extensive coarse in current history and acceptance.

    In short the Ku Klux is History, However only a Klan will satisfy the interest of representation for certain cultures.

    Now is the time for those who wish to clean up the sarcastic rhetoric of folks like Turner and others.

    We need to stand against our Brothers to achieve an attitude that will allow us to be recognized for the benefit of positive change.

    I’m not sure of the validity here, but I have heard somewhere that Obama isn’t even much black, somewhere like 1/16 or so? If this is the case, then he would be the countries first Arab-American President, true? Second, I didn’t want him in office, simply because nobody seems to know anything about him, including myself. But for people to want to kill him? Come on, suck it up for 4-8 years like the Democrats had to do with Bush and hope the next election brings a better candidate. Look at the bright side, at least we didn’t get stuck with Hillary as Pres.

    Realizing that Hal Turner is just an asset and a butt-boy for the retarded WN. There is actually an effective method in tackling the enemy–
    By simply signing up and join the law enforcement!

    That’s right! Through out the history, there has been bad blood between the LEOs and the WNs. History has shown us that the law enforcement agencies is the WNs worst enemy. Which also brings me to another fact, in pointing out the numerous shoot-outs between the LEOs and the WNs. From the infamous Ruby Ridge to the Waco, TX incident on the Branch Davidian compound, to the numerous isolated incidents involving the the white supremacists.

    Brave women and non-Whites have ought to join the law enforcement agencies more often! The FBI is hiring! The FBI and the ATF are proven agencies in bringing down the WN!.
    Using informats like Hal Turner is also a good thing.

    That is why the law enforcement is a proven tool.

    With law enforcement, you must have the right abilities, but you will also have the capabilities. You will have the resources, the weaponery, the intelligence, the manpower, and the means in bringing down the WN and other criminals elements.
    The retards within society are the gang bangers, the drug dealers, the imbeciled WN, and the filthy greedy jews who bilk the American taxpayer.
    And the domestic terrorists who “cling to their religion and guns.”

    Protecting his majestic heights–Mr. President Obama is a top priority.

    Through the enforcement of the “Rule of Law”.

    They work!!

    It is against the law to incite rebellion or inserection against the authority of the government of The United States. There is also a law on seditious activity to incite or assist groups who would commit violence against the government. Clearly the activities of some individuals go directly to inciting violence against the government. Whether it be as a result of racial prejudice, or dis-satisfaction with a particular government action, rather than exercising their right to peacefully assemble and protest, use free speech in a productive way, they see violence as their answer, they spew hate, speak of scenarios they will employ toward the destruction of their government or officials thereof. These people need to be taken seriously, because in a precipitating event they are more than likely to act. Yeh you would need a lot of prisons, but hey send them to Mexico…pretend they are illegal, do unto them as they would do unto us.

    Matt:
    1) Obama is way more than 1/16th black. He is 1/2 black. His father is Kenyan-born with not nary a European gene in him. His mother was USA-born and so was he. Don’t start talking crap about how black he isn’t like some people like to do with other black men. I’m 1/3rd black and 1/3rd Scottish and with lighter skin than Obama, and according to US law, if you have so much as a drop of black blood in you, you’re black. But is that supposed to keep mattering now? Dr. Daniel Hale Williams was black, kings and queens were black, and every time they have accomplished something, somebody tried to swear they weren’t black because “certainly a black person wouldn’t be that smart,” would now? But we’ve been pretty smart all along, from the In the Beginning; and we’re dumbed down only in America.
    2) Obama is not from Arabia, or Saudi Arabia. He does not even practice the Muslim faith, never has. His parental heritage is not from the Arab people. If I’m not mistaken, his father was not even a Muslim. Christianity began in Africa near the Mesopotamian region, so don’t go off thinking everybody black in Africa is of the Muslim faith, many of them aren’t. The reason many people don’t know about Obama is because they weren’t paying attention when they should have been. They took for granted that because he was black, he would not win and they didn’t bother looking. None of us “knew” any presidents before they ran for president, including Bush, Clinton, Reagan, et al. Why single Obama out and say ignorant things like “because we didn’t know him”? I wasn’t too lazy to do my homework and go find out about him and I knew everything I needed to know almost from the time he tossed his hat in the right. Those who didn’t weren’t looking very hard, because anything you ever wanted to know about Obama and didn’t care to know about him was plastered all over the Internet. Only those who were too lazy to look didn’t.
    3) Thank God we didn’t get stuck with Hillary OR Sarah Palin. Palin would have had her rootin’ tootin’ Wasilla hillbilly family running amuck all over the White House.

    Mr.Bob Davis,

    Love what you have to say, send them to Mexico is a great idea, but some like “badeagle” are actually Mexican and might like it!

    I also believe they need to be taken seriously ESPECIALLY when they have their own on- line site embracing the white aryan nations, storm fronters, anglo-saxons spewing hate against my President, and Blacks. I detest most his claim to be Native American Indian Patriot, as if ALL the Indians believe the same as he. Native input in fact is dis-allowed simply because we cannot in all sincerity agree with him.

    We are such a small minority, yes almost invisible, that I hate the fact that ALL Native Americans might be viewed with the same ignorant rants made by a man that simply “HATES” a person by the color of their skin. He is privileged to have a site where he can control any comments that do not praise him. He says he is without a President for the next four years, then he should keep his breed mouth shut, about MY President Obama…. eh?

    In my community and to any Comanche Indian, I do and will continue to defend the new President of My beloved United States if needed. Just once did a Breed say “that damn Black Man”….. I put her in her place……

    I didn’t even see one of those in the 1960s when Huey Newton and the BP’s were trying to protect the black community from scavenger Klan members and government drug dealers like Ollie North who used poor blacks to inject crack into in order to fund Contras, Sandanistas, Columbian warlords, whatever–WITH the government’s permission. I haven’t even seen a t-shirt that says “Kill N-words.” Where are you getting that fib from? I don’t think those shirts even exist, but the KKK ones do exist and they might as well say “Kill n’s and Jews and anybody else who doesn’t look like us that we don’t like.” It’s the same thing.

    A Mexican or a Black or a Native American walking down the street does not have to advertise anything at all, they are still profiled. You on the other hand are just White.

    I have been told that the Aryan people have tattoos under their clothing, why hide them? My own opinion of an Ayan White supremists is really white Albino looking people, but thats just me..a town near us is KKK, before I saw the map locating them, I had always heard most of the town was inbred, is that true of the aryan people….just asking?

    I do not condone clothing of anykind advertising to KILL, no matter the reason, just is not good.

    I will make this statement again: The Blacks have a right to their anger and so do the Native Americans, but I want to know why do you White People HATE so much? You Came, you Took you Conquered and you still are not satisfied!

    To Matt,

    If Mr. President was indeed an Arab(or Muslim for that matter).
    He would not have cite prayers ftom a prominent Christian, nor could he ever become a President as an “Arab” and swore in by oath from a Christian Bible(definately not in times like thses, while we`re still in on “the war on terror”).
    Mr. President Obama would not have attended the National Cathedral mass the day after his inauguration(which is predominately Roman-Catholic by the way).
    And if you recall during the McCain`s campaign trail late last year. An old hag within the rowdy crowds where non-Whites was non-existent, have asked McCain that Obama is “an Arab” and that she is upset about that. McCain violently shook his head in disagreement and corrected the fallicious belief that Obama is *supposedly* “an Arab” to which McCain implied that he is not. This incident was all over the media at that time(and they did re-runs).
    But if that doesn’t help, why do you ignore your fellow “whiteys” who keep stating the fact that Obama grew up with his “White mother” with whom was also a Christian(but later turned secular). And not with his Black father? Despite the fact that his father was a Muslim(but later turned Athiest).
    According to his interview with Newsweek an excerpt reads as follows:

    “He is now a Christian. Having been baptized in the early 90`s at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.”
    http://www.newsweek.com/id/145971

    Well, it sounds like your fellow “whiteys” have been lying to you all along. Something they do so frequently in the WN gangs is simply lie to one another about someone they know nothing or very little of.

    It is intimadation no more no less and also a hate crime. The hate they have is emmense look at Michelle Obama, she is an angry black woman and a militant flag burner.
    The hate blacks have towards whites is not condoned but accepted by the American public because of “PC”. Oh they had it rough.

    1964 Civil Rights Act…the country and taxpayer dollars gave the blacks 40 years of…free housing-new apartment buildings that were trashed in 10 years why? Food stamp programs- free food, medical, education, for 40 years and trillions of dollars. What kind of “culture did we Americans recieve for our money…Ebony, Jett Bling, BET,24” rims, colt .45 malt liquor, grillz in my teeth, $100 nail jobs, sending in a cousin to take a drug test, Shanaynay had 3 abortions from 3 different fathers. Lookin’ good while the kids run the streets The list is endless……………

    Obama’s not going to really change anything.
    He’s going to find out real fast ,that is if he
    doesn’t already know who’s running things
    in this country. He’ll be able to sign some
    executive orders concerning one thing or another
    but when it comes right down to things that
    really matters , such as dancing to the tone
    of APAIC and Israel, he’ll find out what’s really
    going on.
    Obama will forever be a part of American history
    but he’ll eventually be just a clinch on the radar,
    a historical footnote becuse conditions will never
    again present themselves to allow another black
    man in office. If anything we’ll be looking at a future
    hispanic as president.

    on January 25th, 2009 at 11:36 am

    That’s where you’re wrong, Whitey.

    It’s wrong for ANYONE to do it. What you fail to see is that black people are VICTIMS of hate crimes 70% of the time. And the darker they are, the more likely they are to be victimized or at least disrespected, ignored, overlooked and treated badly. We live in a nation where white people started this mess…black people did not. We end up living with it and being subjected to it, but race differentiation wasn’t our idea from Day One.

    Having said that – that ALL of it is wrong, it just so happens that very few black people do things like that or think about it, but for some reason or another your attention gazes and focuses on the ones who do, even though they are a very small minority within their own minority. The REAL problem comes in, not in the name-calling, because you’re going to get that anyway–that’s not racism, that’s bigotry. The REAL problem comes in when the lives of others begin to be affected by racism. When you can and will destroy people’s lives, affect how they live, where they live, where they can and cannot go, how far they go, and make certain assumptions about them that turn into “media events,” issue death threats against them and then arbitrarily kill them with very little of a chance that you will ever be punished for the crime, that’s racism. The name-calling is a moot point, people will do that all day. The real harm comes in when you invade, oppress, steal, kill and destroy…and black people have not the wherewithal or resources to do that to ANY other race, and neither have they been grasping at the chance. The man who wears the “tshirt” you spoke of is likely retaliating in anger over something that was done to him. That doesn’t excuse it, it means that you can both be grade school imbeciles and juveniles and call each other bigot names until the cows come home as long as you don’t touch each other or invade each other’s personal space. That’s when it gets to be a problem…and death threats because someone’s black or white or whatever, that’s a problem.

    We’ve watched things like Confederate flags, the n-word, “No coloreds,” monkey and ape faces, Aunt Jemima references, Uncle Rastus references, pickanniny, coon, all of that stuff for centuries and some blacks are finally lashing out back at it. It ain’t the right way or a proper response, but it’s a response to what they’ve dealt with all of their lives and are getting fed up with. More than likely, they want you to know how it feels. I will say it again–that doesn’t make it right; but the juvenile name-calling can’t be stopped. What CAN be stopped is racism, and it’s impacting–seventy percent of the time–the lives of black people because the historical racism that is at the root of these matters NEVER ENDED. At some point, somebody’s got to at least pretend to be a full-grown sophisticated mature adult and end it by doing whatever is positive that will uproot the rotted floorboards left by European slaveholders. Sitting around bellyaching about it isn’t going to get the job done.

    What Jesus meant about heaping coals of love on the heads of haters is usually a fix, because black people are suckers for people who answer anger with love. That’s what got the Africans enslaved in the first place–being tricked. Of course, we’re smarter than that now, but the demons, the nightmares, don’t go away until you stop them. Until you MAKE them go away. Obama showed you the best way to deal with racism in America.

    Go and do likewise.

    Besides that if you have no business in Black Section, just stay out, save your white skin, in fact go live in Germany.

    Its people like you and david yeagley who judge others by their color and beauty…….I am Native American, not a Savage as yeagley would like all you white people to see us. Savage sounds as bad as calling the Indian woman a “SQAW”, which he also sees nothing wrong with. Thats why I keep bringing his name up. Its wrong if white people read his views and think ALL Indians are the same. Just as wrong as All people think Blacks are violent, and ALL white think as YOU! We know the difference, but you hardly ever hear the Native Americans Views, so I’m glad to represent them if I may, at least I am 4/4 Comanche and he is but 1/16th or less….white as you, therefore I do resent his view of the Mascot, Squaws and Savage….other than that he can go and #%&# himself!

  54. GENO said,

    Speaking of “crackers”, “honkeys” or even “peckerwoods”.
    They are not as offensive to “whiteys” as the “N” word is to Blacks.
    However, those puny titles all by itself is basically stupid, plain and simple which is why I never used them. The best way to anger “whitey” is simply state facts and truths about whatever they wish to debate on(primarily on the subject of race). And to state their ineffectuals as a whole in terms of a movement is another idea.
    “Honkeys”,”crackers” and “peckerwoods” when it used by non-Whites(mainly Black folks) are not effective in the form of a trivial insult. And I can say the same thing about “Redskin” which is not offensive to many younger Nativez as it is to some older generation Nativez(40 or so) claiming it to be.
    I don’t see ‘redskin” any different from the inbred term describing a retarded redneck. And I think non-Whites should get over themselves in these slurs. Like I said, there are better ways to get the white man angry. To exemplify an instance–take Affirmative Action as one good example…..
    Expansion of the Hate Crimes Bill can also be used to keep “whitey” in his place. And I remember Mr. President made a mentioned about expanding the Hatecrimes Bill. Because he knows very well that he is a target of the WN. So that white supremacists can be effectively punished and harsher sentences implemented.

    Ms Greene there is a lot you have to say that I
    would agree, with but you have to admit that blacks
    regardless how they came to be here, even in slavery
    are better off than those still in Africa. No credit is
    given white people for the influence we’ve had on non-
    white around the world. Almost every aspect of what
    one would call a civilized society is the direct result
    of white culture.
    We nationalist have no desire to inslave, discriminate,
    or exploit blacks or anyone else, merely to take what
    we feel is our fair share of this countries land and resources
    and live among ourselves free of non-white influence.
    Unfortunately, this very idea sends blacks in to fits, just
    as the idea of segregated schools and communities, for
    the simple fact that blacks left among themselves tend
    to revert back to the jungle in behavior.
    Any community,city,country, dominated by blacks reveals
    the consequences of low IQ and immoral and vilolent
    behavior. These are the ugly truths that blacks don’t wish
    to deal with and instead beat ‘whitey’ over the head with.

    Well, that’s because you’re a retard, dummy. Just like the rest of them. But what on Earth is “white feelings”???
    To demonstrate your half wit ignorance, you harbor no knowledge in psychology and human socialogy, (let alone in anything). where all human beings have “feelings” regardless of your race.
    I lived amongst “whiteys” in Utah for 11 years before eventually moving back to AZ. And most of my comrades there are white and all the girls I dated there are white. You don’t need to be a “rocket scientist” to understand the fundamentals of human feelings. Heck, even retards know how to hurt the white man`s feelings. And to bear out how degenerate some of them really are, take the WNs/white supremacists for instance. They are the cowardly lions among us and paranoid like the mental patient James in the isolation ward unit # 2, weak-minded that they tend to fall for silly fantasies based upon lies and exaggeration. They buy into the asanine notion that they will make the U.S. White again. They commit suicides and murders on their own. Because they’ve been devastated by someone else`s idea that they are about to be exterminated by another race or by the UFOs.
    Which is why we are seeing a surge of white crimes throughout the nation. White on whitey crimes is what we are hearing on the news frequently. Many beautiful White women are being raped by the violent white male beast at a higher rate than any other ethnic group. Because of the epidemic of mass paranioa infecting the WNs since Obama became the 44th prez. Its a cause for alarm.
    And I know that Obama will act with integrity to expand the Hatecrime Bill which is also known as the Mathew Shepard Act, so that the WNs will not be let off the hook easily for the violent crimes they hath committed.

    Re the Alabama Christian Klan. Now there’s an oxymoron. Since when does Christian and Klan go together? Hanging the word “Christian’ in the name of your group does not mean there is anything remotely Christian in the behavior of the group.
    The AB and neoNazis,etc.fail to recognize the glaring fact that Christ was a Jew. The man had no intention of starting a religion.
    Also, slamming people whom you identify by using labels such as “Jewish” and “Marxist” spoken together as if they were one and the same does not make for a well-reasoned argument. Or anything other than a juvenile way of looking at the world.
    The “ugly truths” are based on a lack of American history and current demographics.
    In the 19th century “Irish and dogs” were not allowed in many parks in the north. Apparently the Irish were considered on a par w. dogs. Nice, huh. And I won’t even go into the visceral hatred of the Chinese when they were immigrants in the country. And in spite of the wishes of the white supremacists African-Americans and Latinos will one day be totally accepted and integrated into American culture. Ethnic and racist ignorance and hatred don’t do jack to the plural nature of our nation. Every group adds something positive.to our society and culture. America is the sum of all of our immigrants.

    Please-

    Go back up a few posts and re-read my old proverb and tell me your opinion.

    I’ve learned many things in my life, one unassailable truth is even if you are conversing with the seemingly most ignorant person you never get anywhere trying to make them feel stupid. Human nature is to want to feel important. If you denegrate another’s opinion, no matter how inane; you are not working to further the cause, you’re just making yourself feel important. I have often found myself “caught up” in emotion and lashing out. It accomplishes nothing. If the person is too ignorant for you to control yourself and deal with from an educator point of view then ignore them. Better to let them alone. Sometimes being ignored is the best stimulus for introspection; of course this is contingent on a sincere desire to learn, or at least consider the validity of an opposing viewpoint. In short getting angry with the foolish is like a kindergarten teacher becoming angry with her students. Secondly if a person doesn’t want to know, YOU CAN’T FORCE THEM TO LEARN!! In a forum such as this, better to ignore them and concentrate your time and energies interacting with positive people. In other words respond to the intelligent post and ignore the idiots, there seems to be more of them commenting than us. Which for a moderated blog is really kind of a turn off.

    Sorry about not having a Phd. never finished college! Common sense is in short supply these days but, I thank my Lord in heaven for the things I do have…I am grateful and am Christian. I have a loving wife of 26 years – a son that was raised in a loving home-a smelly basset hound-our vehicles are paid in full- we have no credit cards- our home is paid off- we owe no loans- we have vacation property paid off- you see I worked my white ass off to do these things without that Phd. can you state that at 49 years old …you owe zero! I may have odd opinions, and not agree with alot, but my salvation is in check and I am the richest man alive…………

    …Congratulations on maintaining a successful marriage for over a quarter century. Unfortunately more people don’t choose to work through the difficulties of marriage…Even better to know you count yourself blessed; If more of us focused on what we do have instead of what we don’t more resources would be likely utilized toward solving our common problems. As far as fiscal responsibility goes it seems our lawmakers and most of our country’s citizens, would have done well to follow your example.

    Bad news for “whities” in the WN, the recently elected Black man to the RNC named Micheal Steele, has just been chosen to lead the now disgraced GOP party. Which brings me to another point–thats not one but 2 Black men leading a major political group. Barack Obama a Democrat and the current President of the United States as well as Micheal Steele, the newly selected leader for the RNC.(the ravaged GOP party).

    Martin Luther King`s Dreams is coming true. But the nightmares has only just begun for the white supremacists, who are not assimilated in today`s civil society but instead, they have become the enemies of Freedom.

    I have read every comment and I am so happy that there are “superior human beings” speaking out against stupdity and hate. At the end of daily life, you have to sort out the madness just to get a good nights sleep. I thank God for giving me another day to praise him and give him the glory. I ask for forgiveness of all my sins. I feel sorry for these people who fall for and believe the lies just to belong and to be loved. I feel sorry for those whose parents speak only of “baby, hate that person/people…”, I feel sad for those whose heart is black with hate and negativity, I feel horrible for the loniness they feel even to join such madness. The Bible and life states “hate is earlier to spread than love” because this is the devil play ground and his last days. Satan is busy and working full time. But my GOD is all powerful for even satan shakes at his voice. Jealousy, envy, greed, low self-esteem are tools the enemy uses to divide. Don’t give the such people your thoughts but give all to GOD, who is just and good. I see some of you trying to connect with those who are filled with hate and we all know racism will not stop today. But we must believe that GOD has a plan and his plans does not involve hate, division of man or self destruction ( and hating is self destructive) Keep your head up, listen and be aware. For warned is forearmed. But don’t give the beast! We have blessings every day, every minute….I thank God that he loves you and me, unconditionally. Don’t let drama in your head, or your life and not even in your computer :0)

    Thank you Songbird,

    A wonderful testimony and prayer for all, makes me take a step back, and try to better understand……

    I am Native and I want the future to be better for mine, I hope that doesn’t sound selfish.

    I try to pray every morning to Father Sun for blessing me with a good peaceful night and for giving me good health so I can take care of whats needs to be done, and I ask him to take care of our Leaders, so they may make the right descisions for all concerned, he alone knows my inner thoughts, can’t hide those from him!.

    Okay, so everyone wants to glorify Obama JUST because he’s black, and JUST because everyone wants to kiss ass and get rewarded for it somehow. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a black president, and why the heck these liberals keep on playing the race card with EVERY conservative I just don’t understand. Also, you people talk way too much. Shorten your responses, get to the point. There’s nothing wrong with respecting our president, but there is something wrong with it if you only do it because he’s black and your an ass kisser.
