I lived in Vancouver Canada and kept my Oklahoma plates on my vehicle while there. I thought I was safe being in Canada and on the West Coast from this type of crap being left on my car, but it still happened. I was also yelled at a few times told to go back to my country. What is wrong with people like this who have such hatred for others that they know nothing about?

Ok Hear me out… I’m against whatever those antisemitic fucks are peddling, but there is some truth to it.

The article is older from 2006, but the estimate was that there were 2000 to 4000 incidents of it happening, but it’s entirely hard to tell for sure. And this is only within the ultra-orthodox community.

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

It's worked our entire lives. Facebook just makes it easier.

Okay, I just sent this link to a friend and it clicked with him what he had seen yesterday on Battlefield near Kansas. Black truck with one of those black and white American flag decals on the rear window. My friend first just thought he was littering but after seeing this link he realized it was these types of nazi bags. Sad fucking people.

Without a doubt, the group behind this are terrible people with terrible ideals BUT this is unfortunately a practice with a small portion of the community. Just like any large community has fucked up sects with fucked up practices that the larger majority do not endorse. But yeah, there is a half truth to this but for entirely the wrong reasons.

This happens relatively often here, unfortunately. There is a group of Proud Boys in town and there's a known KKK group in the Branson area. And then there's Blue Eye. Pretty much a sundown town. There are the 417 Honkeys, too, but they tend to be less threatening in terms of white supremacy and more threatening in terms of being absolute tweakers.
