Making Idaho Look Bad

Aryan Nations at it Again

JenniLee
The Aryan Nations are at it again in Northern Idaho. There are many Nazi's, Skinheads, white supremacist, Aryan Nations members, or whatever other names they love to call themselves, all over the world. Northern Idaho just happens to be the place of interest right now for them as it has been in the past. A mostly white state, however in the capital where I grew up there was more diversity, Asian, African America, Hispanic, and so on. In the small Southern city in Idaho I reside in now the population is mainly white and Hispanic.

Regardless of race our family does not care much where we live as long as it is a decent neighborhood with low crime. The Aryan Nations thinks otherwise, as many know, these white supremacists are ignorant and simple minded people who I like to refer to as "uneducated inbred rednecks". These uneducated people have come together like one big happy family in their "cult" to run around holding up flags and getting ugly tattoos only to promote violence and have a pointless message in the end.

As I turn on the news all week I notice much more on them rallying and holding their protesting signs in North Idaho, with the law enforcement having to hold back an angry crowd watching this parade of rednecks, most likely to attack them if the police were not there. These people can and should be proud of their race, as anyone should be... but the approach of killing and believing all that are not of their race are evil is probably not the best. In fact, it is ignorant.

Humans are one race, some of us may have lighter skin, hair, or eyes, or darker, either way we are human. There are four types of human people in the world when it comes to racism. The "Innocents" which includes all infants and children, you can only pray that the Aryan Nation does not get their brain washing hands on any of these. The "Guilty" people which I like to include the Aryan Nation in this group, these people are an ignorant race, most likely uneducated on many terms, willing to inflict harm to others for no good cause. The "Old Fashioned" people, these people may not believe in mixing ethnicities due to the way they were raised or religion, whatever the matter, however they will not pass judgment more on one person than the other based on race. Then last but not least I like to include myself in the last group of humankind, the "Content", these people seem to have no heartache and no drama over the matter, we are all human and that is that, there are good people and bad people and then there are dumb bad people, which brings me back to the Aryan race.

I now refer to the Aryan Nations as their own race, please do not associate them with the white race, nor the human race. They are one of a kind, congratulations to them. Their uneducated hillbilly Nazi loving lives will be filled with hate, protests, violence, and negative conversations about harming people who they have never spoken to. What is the purpose of joining this cult? I personally have no clue.

One of the leaders of this ignorant cult is Coeur d' Alene resident Jerald O'Brien. This man has a large poorly done tattoo of a swastika on his big head. He says they are recruiting and expecting a large turnout due to the new black president. This is also mentioned in the Associated Press as they speak of the Aryan Nations recruiting in Idaho. Now our new president I may not agree with, but it is not because of his skin color. One resident who was handed the flier threw it in the trash, "Most of those men handing out the fliers will find out they are not fully white if they do some family research, it's sad, it's just trash" says Billy Briggins.

The majority of Idaho residents are not happy about this happening, especially people living in this area. Them giving a bad name to Idaho are all they have accomplished, possibly only losing us money in tourism. However, many do not expect their ignorant brain washed brains to accept and acknowledge that. They are getting nowhere, only hurting others and themselves and their children the most in this cult. I for one choose not to be in a so called family that is revolving around hate and prejudice and setting up children for a life of hate as well. We can only pray a flood will wash them away.

    Not that I agree with these people, but our country's ridiculous open door immigration policies have caused this.
