Resolution denouncing white supremacists and neo-Nazis fails in Tennessee

It sounds like the kind of legislation that should easily breeze through a statehouse, even in these politically divided times: a resolution denouncing white nationalists and neo-Nazis.

It didn't even make it out of committee.

The resolution was written by Democratic state Rep. John Ray Clemmons. It doesn't name any particular group. It calls on law enforcement to go after white nationalists and Neo-Nazi groups with the same "fervor" as other forms of terrorism.

the resolution calls on law enforcement to go after white nationalists and Neo-Nazi groups with the same "fervor" as other forms of terrorism.

A disgusting example of moral posturing and political opportunism fails.

This is a good thing.

the same dems most likely have voiced support for Black Lies Matter, and have remained totally silent on the dem connection to Louis Farrakhan.

Or maybe the day-to-day decisions of beat cops should not be micromanged by windbags sitting in some State Capitol committee room.

Had never heard of this guy before so looked him up. He’s white, Columbia-educated, and represents a district in Nashville.

Basically, the sponsor meant “anyone who disagrees with me is a nazi.”
Good that it failed.

Black lives Matter was formed on the basis of lies based on thugs from Ferguson.

How about a resolution condemning the name “Black Lives Matter”?

The last time white supremacists had any real power in Tennessee was back when the Democrats were the party of Dixiecrats and openly appealed to white racial solidarity to win elections. Back when the Dems were able to foist Jim Crow laws and Segregation on the state. Any remaining white supremacists are just a collection of kooks and cranks. A small group of losers. The real threat from neo-Nazis is BDS on the Left.

Yep, pass a resolution against those two groups and Marxists advocating overthrow of our constitutional government by any means necessary and see what happens.

White supremacists yahoos number about 10,000 people nationwide by most generous estimates and the last example they can give is Charlottesville (1 single fatality in what was probably an astroturf incident) because Timothy McVeigh was getting too old.

Meanwhile, examples of leftist violence and intolerance is so prevalent that astroturf examples aren't even necessary.

Does Tennessee have a problem with White Supremacists and neo-nazis? No?

Then why make a mountain out of a molehill?

They’d be better served going after the SPLC, BLM, and other bigger racists and agitators.

Oddly, there are more Black klan members by a factor of thousands compared to any white only groups. We are seeing the rise of the Black Klan in multiple forms. Their members reside in the NAACP, BLM, Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, the race pimps in the clergy, and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Make no mistake it is real and very pervasive. We had a president and attorney general that thrived on this; both setting the stage for a race war.
• Here are some more shocking statistics: More than 1,600 Whites are murdered by Blacks each year. Blacks murder Whites at 18 times the rate Whites murder Blacks.
About 1 million Whites were murdered, robbed, assaulted, or raped by Blacks in 1992. In the last 30 years, 170 million violent and nonviolent crimes were committed by Blacks against Whites in the U.S. Blacks under 18 are more than 12 times more likely to be arrested for murder than Whites the same age.
Some 90% of the victims of race crimes are Whites. Blacks commit 7.5 times more violent interracial crimes than Whites, although they comprise only one-seventh of the White population.
On a per-capita basis, blacks commit 50 times more violent crimes than Whites. Some 27 million nonviolent crimes were committed in the U.S. in 1992 alone. 31% of the robberies involved Black offenders and White victims; only 2% involved White offenders and Black victims.
1.3 million of the 6.6 million violent crimes committed in the U.S. each year are interracial. Between 1964 and 1994, more than 45,000 people were killed in interracial murders in the U.S., compared to 58,000 Americans killed in Vietnam and 38,000 killed in Korea.

And who got to determine who the White Nationalists and Neo Nazis are? The SPLC and the ADL?

The death in Charlottesville was that of a fat slob Antifa female who had a heart attack.

There are no “white nationalists.” A change has occurred for more of a balance, though, and it’s in style.

Pretty song by Zoe there. She’s quite the singer. Notice “larpers” in the lyrics. Joke’s on...ha, ha! We’ll discuss that later.

Instead of singling people out by race, just affirm a commitment to going after individuals who intentionally harm others or willfully damage property, inclusive of those who start looting and vandalizing riots and label them rallies or marches.

"And who got to determine who the White Nationalists and Neo Nazis are?'

There are different lists with different names but I have a copy of the two lists drawn up by the Jew Lawyers in New York for the purpose of two conspiracy lawsuits.

There is a lot of overlapping of names.

First list: James Field, Jason Kessler, Richard Spencer, Mike Peinovich, Michael Hill, Matthew Heimbach, David Duke, Augustus Invictus, Pax Dickerson, Chris Cantwell, Andrew Anglin, Nathan Damigo, Traditionalist Worker Party, League of the South, Nationalist Front, Vanguard America, National Socialist Movement, National Policy Institute, Proud Boys, Council of Conservative Citizens, AltRight.com, Daily Stormer; Identity Dixie, Identity Europa, Red Elephants, American Resistance, American Freedom Keepers, Pennsylvania Lightfoot Militia.

Here are a few more names that were on the second list but weren't on the above list: Eliot Kline AKA Eli Mosely, Matthew Parrot; Michael Tubbs, Jeff Scheop, Moonbase Holdings, Fraternal Order of Alt Knights, White Knights of the KKK, East Coast Knights of the KKK.

As for Tennessee, they had a White Lives Matter rally in Shelbyville and Murfreesboro last Oct that was sponsored by League of the South, Traditionalist Worker Party, and the National Socialist Movement but law enforcement spent a lot of money and shut them down.
