Alarm In Germany And Israel At Emboldened U.S. White Supremacists



BERLIN/JERUSALEM, Nov 22 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government is concerned that white supremacists in the United States are being emboldened by the election of Donald Trump and is watching developments closely, senior officials told Reuters.

But one senior official close to Merkel described the video - which shows a speaker shouting “Hail Trump” and some audience members making the Nazi salute - as “repulsive and worrying.”

“One of the greatest mistakes humanity ever made was a failure to recognize the danger of fascism early enough and tackle it head on,” said Lapid. “We cannot let history repeat itself.”

A spokesman for the Trump-Pence transition team said on Monday that Trump “continued to denounce racism of any kind” and was elected to be “a leader for every American.”

In the video, taken inside the conference and published by The Atlantic, Richard Spencer, a leader of the “alt-right” movement, says America belongs to white people, who he describes as “children of the sun.” He denounces the movement’s critics as “the most despicable creatures who ever walked the planet.”

“Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!” Spencer shouts at one point as some members of the audience raise their arms in the Nazi salute.

Sinclair Lewis wrote that fascism would come to America wrapped in an American flag and holding a cross.

And we must let these fascists know that we are watching and organizing and marching.

that voted for their fuhrer seeking comfort from the brown hordes has assured their comfort will be the first to go. Fuck the New Nazi Party of AmeriKKKa!!!! We have the lesson of fairly recent history as a guide. It won't be easy this time to fool all in numbers that will make the nazi/KKK takeover easy. No fooling us or killing us easily this time, even with some manufactured crisis. Trump emboldened these nazis to come out of hiding. Fine. Now we know who you fucks are. Comfort and safety will not be theirs. Neither will a white ameriKKKa become a lasting reality.

Census shows by 2043-2050 it is gone. I won't be alive for it, yet I embrace it. I got a hide for saying this some time ago. Alerter said I was preaching white genocide. Amusing since I am white.

Personally I like all our colors. Our diversity. This is what makes America great.

There will be no going quietly. We must do this together. If one of us falls it will be a domino effect. It can not be allowed to happen.

of Israelis celebrating Trump's victory. I told her I was certain that could not convey the view of all Israelis, then I expressed some profane disbelief. There is nothing more dangerous to Jews that the resurgence of the anti-semitic, white supremacy that Trump has unleashed. Any happenstance of agreement on the Iran nuclear deal doesn't begin to outweigh that.

And POC are going to pay the price as well Bains.

You made some great posts the past few days, thank you. I have my ups and downs and can not always reply.

Scares me that the violence is escalating. I live in a very blue State. It is happening here. One a few miles from me. Another in Boston. Three 15 year old girls went after a woman on a train. Said she was an immigrant and should go home. When she tried to leave they punched in the face several times with a cell phone. They were charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

What have we become.

It's a huge fucking problem! And yet we elected the least human president in American history. He's done nothing to suppress or denounce the rise in hate crimes being carried out in his name. If Trump really wanted to prove that he's worthy of being president, he'd put a stop to this. Instead he's too busy Tweeting about how Alec Baldwin is a big meanie head.

One thing that is for certain - I will be out marching in the streets. I don't think I'll be able to go to DC, but I will join the West Coast protest in Los Angeles for sure. Fuck Donald Trump, and fuck his white supremacist followers!
