I blame people for not speaking up over the past years as they’ve gotten emboldened. They think their friends support them.

Remember after Obama got elected and we all collectively realized a large portion of the country is just extremely racist?

I lost all respect for a coworker because she endlessly droned on and on about how, “It’s the WHITE house! Stained by a black family and their n*ggilet kids!” Shortly after he got elected

She didn’t care about policies, or the recession, just the fact that the president was black.

Needless to say the hotel we were at didn’t think it was a good look that their waitress was openly racist and let her go not long after.

And then THEY turn around and say stuff like, “everything was fine until Obama made everything about race.” When what they mean is, “I was comfortable with my social station and now I’m losing my goddamn mind because the country is being led by someone I believe is inherently inferior to me, so what does that make me?”

A lot of people had big racist existential crises. It’s like saying everything was fine until that Asian guy decided to be all… Asian. It’s his fault that I’m so mad he’s Asian.

Obama’s completely scandal free 8 years means nothing to these people. What came next was a traitorous abomination out to get everything he could for himself.

Jesus Christ all you people are brainwashed… Of course, racism exist. But there is several other things that affect this country in a much more negative way than racism… Sorry, I don’t care… And yes, I am black… everything starts within your home and how you treat your children and raise your children in the family you surround yourself with whether it’s friends or blood… My god this country has gone down the shitter everybody wants to point a finger at something

Seriously, this is the paywalled article:

NH safety officials ask for vigilance as white supremacists promote ‘day of hate’

The state Department of Safety is urging New Hampshire residents and visitors to be “vigilant” this weekend, after white supremacist groups posted online messages referencing a “national day of hate” on Saturday.

The agency stressed that it has received no information regarding any “credible threats or scheduled events” in New Hampshire.

Back when NH had Civil Rights Day instead of MLK Jr Day, David Duke and his merry klan came to Concord to celebrate whiteness.

Counter-protesters outnumbered the Duke Klansmen 3-1 and the Capital Security force was “tactically incapable of protecting Mr Duke and his associates”. Response by area police was “cautious” “due to the number of pedestrians in the area”.

~ 10 mph

Sadly cough Mr Duke and his associates caught a fair smack down, from the yeomanry of NH. Not from lefty college kids from liberal states, nor blue haired Democrats from MA, but your average Carhartt wearing Granite Stater.

Duke took the hint, only after his lawsuit over the lack of protection was summarily dismissed.

Very much this. I moved back to CT years ago but lived in NH for north of a decade. It always surprises people down here when I say NH is a lot more tolerant than people realize, it's just that they're quiet about it. The one defining characteristic of a born and bred NH person is that they mind their own damn business and expect you to do the same. If you bring noise into their communities, you will get spoken to.

Of course there's pockets. It breaks my heart visiting friends up in NH and seeing the Trump signs on the road, but I know those are pretty isolated from what a lot of people up there feel.

Lurk_Real_Close t1_ja1b84n wrote

I’d like to agree, but I’m not sure that’s as true as it used to be. As someone posted above, the racism in ordinary NH folks really came out with the Obama presidency. And then Trump capitalized on that. There is a lot of hate and division in NH these days.

My first weekend trip to downtown concord last year consisted of an eight vehicle convoy of proud boys honking their horns and waving their “ let’s go Brandon” flags. I’ve never been more disgusted and disappointed with New Hampshire in my life.

Maybe they’re black or brown or Jewish or LGBT. Or maybe they’re paying attention to a national rise in hate crimes against <pick any group that’s a target of white male grievance>. Or maybe they pay attention to the intersection of the alt-right / MAGA movement in a state with so few restrictions against guns.

See: Southern Poverty Law Center, Anti Defamation League websites for good insight on hate groups in this state and elsewhere in New England / USA.

Here is a link to an article about hate crimes on the rise in NH: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/new-hampshire/articles/2023-01-20/reports-of-hate-crimes-have-grown-in-new-hampshire

And of course, with your own eyes, see the evidence of Proud Boys / 3 Percenters / Oath Keepers on a black pickup near you.

It’s okay to not be the target of this to see it and acknowledge it.

I’m not a Trump supporter, but listen to the fall speech on Charlottesville, he specifically said he wasn’t talking about the white supremacists.

January 6th was a riot, it just happened to be at the capitol. It wasn’t 3 months of rioting, but it was a riot ant it was also wrong.

And this is where the left completely outs themselves as being disingenuous. They’ll start by saying we should condemn white supremacy.

HikeEveryMountain t1_j9yo2j2 wrote

Are you seriously arguing that if I can't personally name a white supremacist then there aren't any? I can't name any arsonists, does that mean that there are no arsonists too? I don't know the names of any senators from Idaho, so Idaho must not have senators, right?

I don't have to personally identify or name them to know they exist. I see "white lives matter" signs in front of houses. I report graffiti swastikas to my town multiple times per year. My state and local officials, whom I pay with my taxes, have identified white supremacist activity on my behalf, and issued this warning, so that I don't have to waste my time with those scumbags.

Want to talk about disingenuous, how about we address this concept of "if you won't doxx the white supremacists on Reddit then they don't exist"?

I think the issue here is our definition of white supremacists.

The left says white supremacists all the time but what they mean are just anyone who doesn’t vote for their candidates.
