Southern Nationalist Group Creates Russian Language Website Page To Foster Relationship Between the 'Two Natural Allies'
By Alexandra Hutzler On 7/21/18 at 10:26 AM

The League of The South, an organization described by analysts as a neo-confederate hate group, has launched a Russian language page on their website to explore shared ideas on "Southern nationalism."

"We understand that the Russian people and Southerners are natural allies in blood, culture, and religion," Michael Hill, the league's president, wrote in a letter addressed to "our Russian friends." The note was published online on July 17 - a day after President Donald Trump met with, and praised, Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland.

The Alabama-based group defines itself as a "Southern nationalist organization", with chapters in 16 states, committed to preserving white, Christian culture. But it has been called a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks white nationalists and other domestic threats.

The letter posted by the group says that the South and Russia are "two natural allies" against threats of globalism and mass migration. "As fellow Whites of northern European extraction, we come from the same general gene pool. As inheritors of the European cultural tradition, we share similar values, customs, and ways of life. And as Christians, we worship the same Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and our common faith binds us as brothers and sisters," Hill wrote.

Hill encourages the two groups to "take advantage of the climate of increasing trust and friendship between us" and believes that the creation of a Russian language page is the first step in that direction.

3. Virulent, open racism is common and officially tolerated in Russia

[appalachiablue]

4. God that's awful of Obama. I know of Russia's white racist, male culture

but even with their common aspects, associating the South League & Alabama with Russia seems absurd. Changing times!

OTOH, many philosophies, religions and ideologies have spanned continents for centuries- slavery, Protestantism, Catholicism, the Enlightenment, liberalism, eugenics, socialism, the Nazi American Bund, and more...

WTF is up with this shit?

i really don't believe in coincidence.

6. Dumb asses. Russia helped blockade the South during the Civil War.

They helped the US Navy so the British wouldn’t run roughshod over the naval blockade.

7. I wonder if Sheriff David Clarke is cozy with these folks.
