White Nationalists Converge on DC 4th of July

Featured Replies

During the holiday weekend, members of Patriot Front, a white supremacist group showed up in DC for the MAGA rally, er, Great American Fair:

Man in viral D.C. Metro photo says he was ‘terrified’ as...

Roswell Encina, a gay Filipino American civic leader, said the Fourth of July encounter with Patriot Front was frightening and impossible to separate from American history.

While people may have been uncomfortable with masked men surrounding them in an already confined space, there was no confrontation or violence on the subway trains.

I believe we will see more of the same over next 2.5 years as these people are emboldened by & receiving top cover from the current administration.

For people of faith, only thing Black people can do is stay in their prayer closet & hope the sky fairy will keep them protected by the blood of his son.😁😎

Where was law enforcement during all of this?
City cops?
Transit cops?

D.C. is crawling with law enforcement.....so where were they?

I'm almost sure there's a law on the books about wearing masks in public, even after Covid.....so why were THEY allowed to march around in masks?


See, this is what I mean about Black intelligence and the use of Black power.....

D.C. has a Black Mayor and a Black Police Chief; so why did THEY allow this to happen?

Damn what Trump does and what kind of "cover" he's giving them, why didn't the BLACK city officials do something about this???
Their hands weren't cuffed or tied!!!

I'm telling you bro, White violence is often enabled by Black stupidity or apathy.

There is nothing law enforcement could have done if they were not breaking any laws.

This is the same administration that pardoned the January 6th insurrectionists.

Remember....DC law enforcement was criticized for their handling of that situation & arresting the rioters.

Black elected leaders & city officials do not have power when it comes to white people.

In fact, the laws don't apply to white folks in the same way as non-white folks.😎

There is nothing law enforcement could have done if they were not breaking any laws.

Rule #1: EVERYBODY is breaking some sort of law at any given time.

There are so many laws on the books most people don't even know what they are.

As soon as you walk out of your house and smile at somebody you're breaking SOME sort of local, state, or federal law.

They designed it that way SO that law enforcement had the flexibility to go after their targets if they couldn't get them on the actual crime they initially got them for.

They learned their lesson with nabbing Al Capone over his taxes.

If you make so many laws that people have no choice BUT to break them, then you keep an excuse to stop and arrest people.

A good example are the air fresheners on your car rearview (sorry @Mel Hopkins....lol) mirrors and how they'll often use that as an excuse to stop you.

So if they wanted to...if they WANTED to...they could have used any excuse to stop those men and detain them.

Like I said, niggaz simply not using their brains or positions of power.

This is the same administration that pardoned the January 6th insurrectionists.

Remember....DC law enforcement was criticized for their handling of that situation & arresting the rioters.

Criticized by who? The racists who don't like them ANY damn way?

Why would Black city officials and police officers even CARE about the criticism or blowback they'll get from their open enemies?

See....

Yet again, more ignorance from negroes in positions of authority.

I'm not saying YOU'RE wrong.

I agree, a lot of these negroes ARE concerned about criticism from those who don't like them ANY damn way no matter what they do.

But again, it just shows you how ignorant a lot of our people are and why even when we are in positions of power we don't use it.

Black people RUN much of the city of D.C.

If they let White racists march around in masks....I'm not going to blame the racists but I'm going to blame the Black city officials!

Black elected leaders & city officials do not have power when it comes to white people.

Bruh....

Black D.C. police have money, weapons, handcuffs, training, the AUTHORITY to arrest people and lock them up.

What is Trump or any other White official going to do, go out there in person and stand in the damn way to shield them from Black officers?

How much more power do they need to make an IMMEDIATE impact and let the racists know that D.C. is NOT the place for them to pull off a stunt like that?


I didn't say they should have beaten up those marching.
I didn't say they could have gotten prison time....most of them would have been let go probably that same night.

I'm saying the Black cops in D.C. (how ever many are still left) DID have the power to stop them, frisk them, and detain them as a show of force to protect the Black citizens of that city...and FAILED in their duty.

Next thing you know crazy crackaz will be marching around in KKK uniforms up and down the city streets, and Black officials will be at the microphone having a press conference using the same damn excuse about how they couldn't do anything about it, free speech, their hands were tied.


In fact, the laws don't apply to white folks in the same way as non-white folks.

Ofcourse not, because scary ass niggaz in power don't APPLY them or ENFORCE them on White folks.

Who's to blame for that?

Not White folks....BLACK FOLKS.


The Black law enforcement in D.C. failed the Black community.

You have every right to blame Black city officials & law enforcement for not hopping on the subway trains & arresting those white nationalists.

The same amount of power they would have needed to keep the National Guard out of the DC. That was ordered over & above their heads straight from the Feds.

That is based on an assumption that DC law enforcement knew those white nationalists would be riding the train from Maryland to DC.

Even if law enforcement had arrested the white nationalists on trumped up charges, they definitely would have been released immediately after a phone call from POTUS OJ. The whole exercise of locking them up would have proved nothing & been a waste of time.

Like any other group, the KKK has a 1st amendment right to freedom of speech & assembly. They can get a permit to march in any city.

You have every right to blame Black city officials & law enforcement for not hopping on the subway trains & arresting those white nationalists.

NYPD had no problem doing it with stop-n-frisk.

And they didn't need to "mobilize" to do so, every White cop on the NYPD just automatically KNEW what his duty was.

Too many Niggaz need to be preached to and primed and motivated to do shit that should come natural to them.

The same amount of power they would have needed to keep the National Guard out of the DC. That was ordered over & above their heads straight from the Feds.

If that fine ass Bowser or the police Chief TOLD those cops to hit the streets and arrest those Domestic Te----sts, they WOULD have.

They get their orders from their Chief, not from the federal government.

Now the MAYOR and CHIEF do....ofcourse...but not the beat cop on the street.

That is based on an assumption that DC law enforcement knew those white nationalists would be riding the train from Maryland to DC.

That's based on the assumption that it's a COMPETENT law enforcement department with the best modern technology available to guard the Capitol of the world's most powerful nation.

They know when Black kids are having a "street takeover" by monitoring their social media.

How in the hell can a bunch of rightwing Domestic Te------sts "sneak" past law enforcement and organize hundred of themselves under the radar?

Hell, if they're THAT sophisticated then they may be able to TAKE OVER the government simply by catching the law off guard.

No.

They weren't monitoring them....that's the problem.

Even if White law enforcement weren't monitoring these groups....Black law enforcement should have been.

Even if law enforcement had arrested the white nationalists on trumped up charges, they definitely would have been released immediately after a phone call from POTUS OJ. The whole exercise of locking them up would have proved nothing & been a waste of time.

They should have atleast TRIED it and seen what would happen.

Call his bluff.

But I guess we won't know because they didn't bother to do shit but LET them march around and intimidate and threaten people with their presence.

Some of them were even wearing Confederate flags.

They didn't even TRY to arrest or confront these people, and that's the disturbing part.

Like I said, WHAT ELSE would they sit up and let them do without a challenge?

Next they'll be lynching people in the street in broad daylight and you'll be getting the same excuses.

Like any other group, the KKK has a 1st amendment right to freedom of speech & assembly. They can get a permit to march in any city.

Weren't the KKK branded as a te--r---st group?

If so, why are they ALLOWED to even exist, let along express themselves?

Isis and the other te----st organizations aren't allowed to march around the nation intimidating people.

Law enforcement would snatch them up REAL quick.

But when it comes to White Domestic te--------sts, then it's about word games and political expediency.

Black law enforcement definitely won't be allowed to infringe on white folks' constitutional rights.

I'm glad that Black officer who shot that female domestic te------st who tried to break into the Capitol back in 2021, didn't think that way....lol.

If he did, he may have just stepped to the side and let them all in thinking there wasn't anything he could have done about it anyway.

Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if the federal gov't told the DC Mayor to stay outta the way of the Great American Fair & it's attendees.

Move b8tch...get out the way.🤣

I do know about law & politics that there is nuance in everything.

There is no legal designation of the KKK as a such a group.

Same here. That dude was a real hero.👍🏿

The white supremacists wanted him arrested & locked up for doing his job.

He was legally within his right to take that shot & he's still free because of it.😎

ProfD

The Mayor issued policy giving law enforcement authority to stop & frisk.

Ok, so why couldn't THIS mayor (Bowser) do the same?

Was Giuliani some sort of exception to the rule?

Did he have special powers at his personal disposal not privy to other mayors?

Just like Trump comes in doing whatever the hell he wants to do but other Presidents like Obama are "forced" to play by the rules and their hands are tied.

What would they have charged with if no laws were broken?

As I said before, EVERYBODY in America is breaking a law at some point in time....usually all the time.

There are literally MILLIONS of laws on the books from local to Federal, most of them just aren't enforced.

If they wanted to and were serious they could have found a law or just "probable cause" to stop and detain those men on suspicion.

They failed.

Infact, they did WORSE than fail....they didn't even try.

Didn't even care.

A bunch of White racist nationalists marching through a mostly (still.....I guess) Black city, and the city leaders didn't do shit about it.

There is no legal designation of the KKK as a such a group.

The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, explained

The Ku Klux Klan Act used nearly all of Congress’s constitutional powers to respond to the Klan’s coordinated political violence and intimidation.

Even better, Congress passed an entire Act against them way back in the 1800s!

My question is since the laws were on the books, why weren't they enforced?

By BLACK Law Enforcement???

I'm not asking why White folks didn't go after the KKK; that's obvious.

My question is why have so many Black law enforcement in states like Alabama and Mississippi who are in power to do something, haven't used this Act to go after them?

He was legally within his right to take that shot & he's still free because of it.

That's proof right there that when Black folks stop making excuses, acting scary, and get up off their ass....we can be successful defeating the racists.

Maybe not all of them, but SOME of them.

Again, these niggaz running D.C. didn't even TRY.

Just stood there with some shiny lips and some big titties poked out, staring at them and scratching their heads looking at eachother as they marched by in confederate flags.

In reading the KKK act of 1871, it does not designate the KKK as a terrorist group.

The act doesn't infringe on their constitutional rights either.

The act was ignored shortly after it was enacted.

I don't believe southern states would have KKK laws on the books.

Also, a whole bunch of white racists including KKK members are in law enforcement in the south.

I do not believe Mayor Bowser could have gotten laws on the books in time to stop white nationalists from marching into DC.

As Mayor, she has Executive Privilege.

She could have given all of the law enforcement under her authority direct orders to monitor and apprehend the participants of that demonstration.

DC elected officials & law enforcement probably knew white nationalists were coming into the city to attend their Great American State Fair. They couldn't do a d8mn thing about it.

Maybe they knew, maybe they didn't....but it's a shame that a handful of goofy White dudes in masks can outsmart and out maneuver officials for the Capital of the West.

Don't say they "couldn't" do anything about it, say they WOULDN'T do anything about it.

Physically, they absolutely had the power to do so.

Just like our brother in the Capital on January 6th.

The act doesn't infringe on their constitutional rights either.

Those rights are for INDIVIDUALS, not groups....unless they become incorporated.

The act was ignored shortly after it was enacted.

And that's one of the problems.

The laws to eliminate them DO exist, they just aren't bein enforced.

Again, I don't expect White officials to enforce them.....I expect BLACK officials to.

Also, a whole bunch of white racists including KKK members are in law enforcement in the south.

True.

And a rhetorical question is: why is that?

Most of the Black people in America live down South.

So why do so many Republicans and other racists have so much political power in the South?

I've said over and over again that there is NO WAY....given the size of the Black population of those states...that Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Louisianna should have White Republican Governors!

No way.

All the niggaz packed up together down there, and they let RACISTS run the fucking state????

All of that Black economic power in Atlanta, and they allow a REPUBLICAN White governor over Georgia?

Black law enforcement didn't want the smoke that would have jumped off if they had confronted those white nationalists who were exercising their constitutional rights.

What smoke?

Who would come to their immediate rescue? Physically?

Black officers in D.C. have weapons and training and have the LEGAL right to use them, now the white nationalists.

So who is going to swarm into D.C. to fight law enforcement on their behalf?

Again bro, it's an INTELLIGENCE factor at play here.

Even when Black people get into positions of power a lot of our people don't have sense enough to USE those positions to further empower the community.

So, the Mayor could have ordered law enforcement to arrest any suspicious looking white folks en route to the Great American State Fair.

No, because suspicious looking White folks is Trumps VOTER BASE....lol.

The State Fair was already a flop.

Arrest them and NOBODY would have attended that mug, except a few homeless people who were out there rummaging around anyway.

But they should have been specific about THAT particular group.

The elected officials & law enforcement were not out-smarted or out-maneuvered by white nationalists.

If they weren't then that means either:
1. They were in cahoots with them

or

2. They simply didn't care about the threat

On what charges would DC police have been arresting the goofy white nationalists?

Wearing masks while in the process of threatening behavior and ethnic intimidation.

As soon as POTUS OJ would have heard that white nationalists were being detained by DC police for no reason, he would have ordered the national guard take over the city immediately.

He sent them in ANYWAY...lol.

Those DC police officers are smart enough to know they cannot run arresting & shooting white folks for no reason.

It's never smart to make the racists think that you're a coward and unwilling to defend your community and children.
That's called enabling and emboldening them.

Word is the white nationalists were not threatening or intimidating people. They just went about their bizness of getting to the Fair.

Like a Becky or Kyle, If someone felt threatened or intimidated by the white nationalists they would have had to call the police.

Right. The National Guard was already in DC. If the white nationalists were arrested, they would have brought in more guards.🤣

Right. But there's always been a shortage of Nat Turners among Black men.

Black folks have always taken the high road of non-violent resistance which doesn't work against white folks & the system of racism white supremacy.

I give the Middle Easterners a ton of credit in their willingness to fight & die rather than suffer colonization or imperialism under white folks.😎
