I bet white supremacists only talk about white supremacist stuff with their white supremacist buddies, and don't reveal those prejudices to anyone where it could result in bad things happening to them.

That being said, why do you think those guys are white supremacists specifically, as opposed to garden variety xenophobic morons?

With those pictures, I imagine they will be identified soon. They are going to be ruined, and rightfully so.

As mentioned on the last page, the circled cross is a common image in White Pride circles.

Ah.

I'm kind of glad I didn't know that.

I would think it is the latter rather than the former. They don't appear to be hard core skin heads but seems like the used the cross just to add to their message. Not the smartest couple donkies. I bet they are recognized on the train.

In 1939, Jewish refugees, seeking refuge from Hitler, came to Canada and were turned away. 254 later died in concentration camps. I want to learn from history.

Just love the irony of white pride when you consider DNA and how absurd the idea is. These idiots have no clue about our genetics and how profoundly misinformed they are about race.

Or the fact that they idolize and romanticize the Third Reich, yet Mr Hitler would have the whole lot of them liquidated, given the chance.

They are just a dumb bunch of people all around.

Looks like law enforcement made quick work of finding the racist meatheads who spray hate at the train stations.

One arrested, other identified.

You know there haven't been a lot of things in the past few years that I've been able to say have made me feel proud to be Canadian, but this sure does.

Are they sure the baby wasn't actually ISIS, disguised as a baby? I'm just asking questions.

Around 2007 or so I was in Calgary at the Mac Hall to take in a heavy metal concert. The headliner was Suffocation, a pioneering band in american death metal. There was about 5 or 6 bands playing. In between shows, I was in the beer gardens hanging out with some friends, and out of nowhere white supremacists showed up. All at once. Must have been 15-20 of them.

I'm talking straight up skin heads. Dudes with swastikas tattooed on their foreheads, wife beaters with red suspenders, real jackbooted SOBs. My buddies and I were all like "Hmmm. Well ok then."

They came onto the floor for the band before the headliners. The band was Destroyer 666, from Australia. Supposedly early in their career they were classified as a white supremacist band, even though they refuted that. Well during their show these jerkoffs were at the front of the floor sieg heiling the band the entire time.

Their set finished and then Suffocation came up on stage. Now, Suffocation has two african american members. There was a tense standoff as the lead singer demanded these asshats shove off before they would start playing. After 5 minutes or so they all decided to take off and the show went on. For a few minutes though it was kinda sketchy.

Was kind of embarrassed to be a human at this point in time. Sad that this subculture exists in Canada.

Might want to re-examine the statement that Calgary is no more racist than any other place.

There were big factors in turning away refugees in the late 30's, people play the anti-semitic race card and that was part of it but reality was the country was near broke from the great depression with 30% unemployment rates.
