Racism in NS - A Snapshot
Two days ago, I came across region White Salvation of America. Unsurprisingly, they held some fascist embassies - Altmora, Farkasfalka, The Great Alliance of Fascist Nations, and The Imperium of Man. New embassies were being opened with nazi Genua, and white supremacist Aryan Resistance. These people are lost causes. Not much to be done about it.Surprisingly, White Salvation of America were opening some embassies with some less obvious regions, including Gypsy Lands, and 12 Days of Christmas. (They had approached some other regions too, but had been rejected).
Why would you agree to open an embassy with a region like this? Surely it was a mistake? So I sent the following telegram.
Thanks for your time.
One of the nations has yet to log in. So no response. Probably this was just a careless oversight where they didn't check the region they were accepting.
Mediobogdum, a prominent TWPer and founder of 12 Days of Christmas hasn't responded, despite having been online and active. Their embassy is now open.
[Update a day later: the embassy is now being closed]
Gypsy Lands kindly took the time to respond.
But given the many left wing extremist regions here, White Salvation of America probably won't be here long. To bad we can't all just co-exist."
I'm of the opinion that white supremacy isn't political, just racist. So I replied.
"To bad we can't all just co-exist."
I agree with you entirely. But white supremacists like White Salvation of America would disagree strongly. They dont want to co-exist with non-whites. You having no political affiliation is fine, as is having embassies with both right and left. However, White Salvation of America dont represent a political opinion. They represent a racist opinion, that some people because of the color of their skin are worth less than others. By accepting their embassy, you are sending a message that it's OK to be racist. Do you think it's OK to be racist?"
Again, Gypsy Lands was kind enough to reply.
No, I'm not a racist, but unfortunately today's political world, with their never ending identity politics, has made us so much further from our goal, which is color-blindness.
There are many police officers in my RL family. I happen to think blue lives matter. There are many out there who would find that statement racist.
I also don't believe in white supremacy, a coined word to further divide America. These things actually happened to some of my family members:
1. My niece, an honor student, was denied a scholarship because she is white. (No conjecture, this is what her father was told)
2. A relative was denied Obama relief funds to help her family keep up with her mortgage; they told her she qualified, but they had too many white people applying.
3. A relative was in a temporary management position, had higher qualifications than a black applicant, but was told his higher qualifications weren't enough to justify giving the permanent position to a white over a black.
You see, my friend, it works both ways. So as far as NS goes, our region draws no political bias, and if anything political is posted, I get rid of it."
I went back.
I'm sorry to hear about your relatives. I've no constructive advice to give about that I'm afraid. But I don't think it's justification for opening an embassy with white supremacists. Which, by the way, also exist in Europe, Australasia, and South Africa. It's not just a word made up to divide America. It's well documented over the past few centuries.
You're saying "I'm not a racist", but so far there is little in your reply or your actions to evidence this. So far, you've accepted a white supremacist embassy, accused BLM regions of being "very racist", and suggested that the phrase "white supremacy" only exists as an attempt to divide America. You may want to work on methods to help you to not appear racist."
Gypsy Lands made a final response.
Ann Coulter had a pie thrown at her. Conservative speakers at colleges are heckled and disrupted to the point where they can't speak. My daughter tried to join the Republican Club at Rutgers and found that there were no members.
College students should be willing to hear all viewpoints; that's the whole idea of higher education--teaching persons to absorb everything around them and to form their own independent opinion. I'm old enough to have gone to grade school long before all this bullshit, back when we saluted the flag, said the Lord's Prayer, read the bible, sang Christmas carols, and were told what was good about America, not just what was wrong.
My being racist is in your leftist mind. I'm done replying. I find your comments insulting."
Gypsy Lands now has an embassy with White Salvation of America.
