A Marine who was arrested in May for flying a white nationalist banner during a Confederate celebration has been kicked out of the Marine Corps.

Staff Sgt. Joseph Manning was arrested on May 20 in Graham, North Carolina, after hanging a banner with a white supremacist expression, the Marine Corps Times reported. Manning was charged with first degree trespass.

Manning, who joined the Corps in 2002, is a Purple Heart recipient who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

The article is a complete fabrication. The only part of the article about white supremacy is when the author states it is about white supremacy. From the facts in the article it had nothing to do with white supremacy, including the Twitter quote. Quite an inflammatory article.

Open border advocates have no tolerance for the native citizens of their respective countries. It’s so around the world (at least in the West).

The new settlers don’t “cling” to the Constitution or the “way things used to be”.

And then there was this meddling in the US by a foreign government:

Stop Trump Movement Gets Boost From Mexico’s Efforts in U.S.

By

Mexico is mounting an unprecedented effort to turn its permanent residents in the U.S. into citizens, a status that would enable them to vote — presumably against Donald Trump.

To continue reading this article you must be a Bloomberg Professional Service Subscriber...

And then there’s this from 2000:

http://www.nytimes.com/2000/07/01/world/mexican-presidential-candidates-campaign-in-us.html?mcubz=0
And in what experts call an extraordinary step toward linking Mexicans north and south of the Rio Grande, three Mexicans living in the United States are running for seats in Mexico’s Congress. If they win — and chances are good for at least two of them, in Chicago and Los Angeles — they will live in the United States and represent Mexicans here.


Our sovereign nation is worth preserving. Those immigrating to America should do so legally and surrender all allegiances to foreign powers.

Brown nationalism and black nationalism are as ugly as white nationalism.

Are you seriously calling this man stupid?

It wasn’t a white supremacist banner. It said YOU WILL NOT REPLACE US.

That’s it.

Last name Manning? There’s some sickening irony.

Since when are United States Marines denied 1st Amendment rights ? Especially when they are off duty, off base and in civilian clothing .

Getting arrested sealed his fate. FWIW, you can get kicked out of the military for a lot of things that are perfectly legal in the civilian world.

You are correct. The unwritten rule, I have heard, in the Marine Corps, is: Do not embarrass the Corps!

If the ADL and/or SPLC says it's racist, then it's racist.

And I wouldn't call him stupid but he did fail to recognize that today's USMC is not the same USMC he signed up for 15 years ago. The military today is full of Obama loyalists, effecting precisely the type of institutional change that they were put in place to do.

Might be a strong candidate for PTSD. If he steps forward it can mean 100% disability.

Apparently there have been a number of black nationalists in the Marines

http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/19/suspected-florida-cop-killer-claimed-to-be-member-of-black-extremist-group/

...Miller, a Marine veteran, allegedly opened fire on the officers before they could draw their service weapons. He fled and was arrested several hours later. Police found two guns on Miller...

...Miller also described himself as a Moor, a member of the Moorish Nation, a sovereign citizen group with black nationalist roots.

Miller claimed to be a Moor in a post claiming that he needed “a warrior Queen to help me rule my castle.”

“I am a moor..I need a Warrior Queen becuse [sic]..I am a King of know person..i am a King of Myself. I am A Moor!” he wrote above a picture of Black Panther activist Angela Davis....

Last year, another self-professed Moor killed three police officers in Baton Rouge.

Gavin Long, who was also a former Marine, ambushed and killed the officers last July 17. Long, who was a member of the Washitaw Nation, a Moorish sect, appeared to have been motivated by the shooting of Alton Sterling, a black man who was killed by Baton Rouge police on July 5, 2016.

These articles do little better.
They do make the distinction between white supremacy and white nationalism, though the first sentence in the first article has white supremacy in it. The second article has quotes from the SPLC! Both skew the facts.

The press can’t tell the difference between white supremacy and being pro-white. It’s pretty scary.

It’s like there’s no tolerance for the belief that whites have the right to be white.

And I don’t dispay the Confederate flag or believe that whites are superior.

You can be sure those black women cadets giving the communist power salutes for the photographers a while back were drummed out of the Point.
Or not.
They must be a lot of fun now to command and follow.

There is a double-standard all right. White’s not all right. Blacks? Relax. It is what it is.

I think the criminal trespass charge has something to do with it as well.

NOT.

West Point ruled that the black female cadets raising their fists was not political. They were given verbal counseling.

Future Army officers. They'll be the ones making decisions over who gets kicked out of the military and for what reasons:
