Remember the Aryan Nations? They're Back!
COMMENTARY | A piece of news just came across my desk which makes me almost want to pack up my things and head out of Louisiana with my love in tow for good. According to local station ksla.com, it appears the Aryan Nations have made their new home in Converse, Louisiana.
I'm truly surprised to hear the news. Louisiana has been such a good state to me. The people here are friendly, open and surprisingly modern. To think a group which bases their entire premise on one skin color being better than another skin color shocks me, in fact.
When it comes to diversity, I'd venture to suggest that perhaps a body won't find a state more in tune with the fact we humans need each other than Louisiana. As expected, the community within which this group has planted themselves in is making their voices of objection heard. Nothing can screw up tourism dollars like being known as the home of racist jackwagons.
In response, Aryan Nations leader Morris Gullet states that he'll not be leaving Louisiana and "Nothing has changed about our plans. I still intend to build a church building and the World Headquarters for Aryan Nations will continue to be right here in Louisiana. This is my home. I am here to stay till death do I part from this Earth. I will not be swayed from my job as the Senior Pastor of the Church of Jesus Christ Christian or the World Leader of Aryan Nations." Too bad. I could recommend a rock he could crawl under somewhere in the desert of Arizona perhaps.
The Aryan Nations, famous for their intimidation tactics against American blacks, Jews and Hispanics until the 1980's, are now trying a softer approach. Leader Gullet has been quoted as saying, "I'm an avid proponent for the betterment of my race....Yeah, it makes me a racist, but it doesn't make me a hater of people because of the color of their skin."
But modern people will not accept the softened version of racial hatred either. Most of us are aware of the probability that, should a racially-divisive group regain any sort of popularity again, we'll soon be back to seeing violence and degradation of our fellow human beings. Such a nightmare is not acceptable - least of all in beautiful, loving Louisiana. Let's hope Gullet's God gives him a whole new message soon.

Post a CommentThe number of racist groups and their memberships grew after Obama was elected. Still, they're just a fraction of a fraction of a percent of our population. They appeal only to the willfully uninformed, fearful, and ignorant, and used to be far more powerful than they are now. That doesn't mean that the objects of their hatred should be any less vigilant. In the 30's, the governor of my state was a member of the KKK. They pretty much ran the state. Although some Americans continue to embrace ignorance and intolerance, we've come a long way baby. In reality, the Aryan Nation never went away, but they've yet to escape the slimy, primordial soup.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is available anytime a case is needed against this group!
Think of my plight! I live 20 miles east of the historical cradle of the KKK, Pulaski, Tennessee. They have a White People's festival there every year (they got PC and now call it the "European American Heritage Festival" now), and there was a big Aryan Nations/Stormfront "White Unity" rally there in 2010. I sometimes check their webpages to figure out the best weekends to stay out of the town.
It's time humanity see that racism is #$%$
You just made me laugh my #$%$ off. Thank you.
It's racism lite! Ugh.
I bet there's not a lot of comments here.
