Hate makes a comeback in the Pacific Northwest

Nearly two decades after the Aryan Nations' Idaho compound was demolished, far-right extremists are maintaining a presence in the Pacific Northwest.

White nationalism has been on the rise across the U.S., but it has particular resonance along the Idaho-Washington border, where the Aryans espoused hate and violence for years.

The neo-Nazi group was based near Hayden Lake, Idaho, starting in the 1970s, and eventually was bankrupted in a lawsuit brought by local activists and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Its compound was seized, and supporters dispersed.

But a series of incidents in recent weeks show far-right sentiments never really left the conservative region. In the county that is home to Hayden Lake, for instance, Republicans last month passed a measure expressing support for U.S. entry of a prominent Austrian far-right activist who was investigated for ties to the suspected New Zealand mosque gunman.

These people don't exist because blacks keep talking about racism.

Idaho? You’re worrying about whate whites in Idaho are doing? Seriously, start worrying about the dysfuntion that is in far too many black communities.

Do you watch the first 48? White america is against every black person staring in that show. It’s almost all black on black. Some black on white but come on. You go to any liquor store in the hood and you see the ghetto brothers and sisters in them. You know what I’m talking about. Those people are unemployable. It’s not racist.

Are their high crime black neighborhoods in Idaho?

Here we go again. Idaho is not the only place white racism exists. When white racism ends many of the dysfunctions you choose to talk about while trying to deny the national nature of white racism will end also. You, like many whites are totally ignorant to the damage white racism has caused.

Whites commit nearly 3 times the crime we do but you don't consider your neighborhoods high crime. And don't bring me that 12 percent of the population crap either.

My point here is that racism is not a thing of the past. You have seen examples of white racism from all over the country and you actually think this is only about Idaho.

No.

Nothing is going on. What are these black ninnies afraid of?

If you add up the Violent crime stats for Black, Brown, Other. It is probably 75% of the crimes? Obammys' folks got the FBI to try and hide some of the Crime (when any doubt) under other or brown. The actual numbers are hard to calculate. You have to pick a crime to drill down.

In the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Violent crimes are defined in the UCR Program as those offenses that involve force or threat of force.

No, the UCR doesn't show that.

 

[IM2]

So if we just stop talking about murder, rape, robbery, terrorism, domestic violence, abortion, income inequality, low wages, unemployment, death, and taxes, all those things will stop.

The more I investigate and dive into this the more full of shit I realize you are.

Yes, a lot of white racism exists in places like Idaho and that’s wrong and needs to change but I don’t think that racism has anything to do with ghetto blacks who will never make it out of poverty. Who think America is unfair to all blacks. Two completely different conversations really. The blacks who live in these ghettos are ignorant poor black trash. Their parents were and so will their kids. They are completely unemployable and no business owner would ever invest in these communities. So those poor black trash have to change. Otherwise expect ghettos 100 years from now to look exactly like they do now.

Their neighborhoods will never be safe and cops will continue to treat the residents of these ghettos as 2nd class citizens. They are crime zones.

Stop saying white communities are just as bad. Not my neighborhood. And I’ve been to these poor black communities. The black residents are running whites out with their bad behavior

I think it is pure evil for a white to be racist to a black minority who is just trying to live their best life. You will never find me defending whites who are racist towards blacks.

But that’s not the same thing I’m talking about. I’m talking about ghetto blacks in the hood. You can’t raise a child to be a ghetto adult and then cry that they are stuck in the ghetto. Either you need to create jobs for them yourselves inside the ghetto or you need to educate them so they can get jobs outside the ghetto.

Sealybobo your running your mouth off with no clue. You are talking about a few blacks in Detroit. You see the fact is that a whole lot of people from those ghettoes are going to colleges and graduating. For example we watch the many division one basketball games with teams full of blacks. Most of them are from poor neighborhoods and don't go pro. Many of them graduate college. But what we don't see are the many black athletes from poor communities in small schools with no hope of going pro who end up with degrees.

I have lived in the hood and what you say applies to very few. We can say the same thing about white communities.

Fact 5: Monetary sanctions are used disproportionately more in cities with a higher share of black Americans.

Criminal justice revenues are not collected uniformly across the country. As explained in fact 2, some jurisdictions make much more use of fees and fines than others. Moreover, the places that tend to collect higher revenues are those with higher shares of black residents. As shown in figure 5, cities in the highest quintile of black share of population collect roughly $29 in criminal justice revenues per resident, whereas cities in the lowest quintile collect only $9. This relationship between criminal justice revenues and the black share of population remains after controlling for a city’s local finances and demographics as well as county-level characteristics: Sances and You (2017) estimate that cities with the largest black share of residents collect between $12 and $19 more per resident than those with the smallest black share of residents. Additionally, one study finds that the arrest rates of black and Hispanic residents for drugs and DUI violations increase during periods of fiscal distress; the authors only observe these results in states where police departments are more easily able to retain revenue from seized property, and they do not find a similar relationship with respect to white arrests (Makowsky, Stratman, and Tabarrok, forthcoming).

These disparities are echoed in law enforcement activity; one well-known example is the city of Ferguson, Missouri. In 2015, black residents in Ferguson made up 67 percent of the city’s population but accounted for 85 percent of its vehicle stops, 90 percent of its citations, and 93 percent of its arrests (U.S. Department of Justice 2015).

Given the lower average wealth of black households (Hamilton and Darity 2017), these criminal justice penalties can become an excessive burden for many, and as noted in fact 6, can result in reincarceration.

“Racism is a thing of the past....”

Well, we know this isn’t true.

Posts by many conservatives on this very site are proof of that.

^ Dear C_Clayton_Jones jillian IM2 ^
If you look at the bias and bigotry between POLITICAL groups projecting
stereotypes on each other (as CCJ comment above generalizing negatively about conservatives as a GROUP identity)
to discredit, attack, silence or even "gas light" individuals
isn't dismantling THAT bullying tactic
relying on a similar process as trying to address and resolve RACIST attitudes.

C_Clayton_Jones if you want others to own up and change their "racist" attitudes
against Blacks or other minorities, isn't this like asking YOU to change
your preconceived negative perceptions of CONSERVATIVES
and balance that with recognizing POSITIVE contributions by Conservatives equally.
If you are asking people to give equal credit to members of minority racial groups
instead of ONLY framing and talking about them collectively in the NEGATIVE.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

There will always be some form of racism, because human brains are designed to make decisions based on similarities and groupings. Discrimination is faster, and has proved to be an efficient survival tool.

Dangerous animals look like this.

Enemies look like that.

Poisonous plants look like this.

Why do humans naturally recoil when they walk too close to a snake before seeing it? Why do humans jump and quickly swat when a spider falls on them? It is instinctual characterization that all things that look like snakes or spiders are dangerous, causing an immediate flight response.

In terms of racial discrimination, human nature causes humans to develop attitudes about races with which they have limited contact or cultures with which they are not familiar.

It's the sophisticated human that can recognize the primal instinct and use reason to overcome it. Unfortunately, most humans lack the ability to do so without more instruction or immersion.

Racism has not always been part of the human condition. Especially since races did not exist until the 15-1600's.

Whites Have Huge Wealth Edge Over Blacks (but Don’t Know It)

Americans, and higher-income whites in particular, vastly overestimate progress toward economic equality between blacks and whites, the psychologists reported Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Americans believe that blacks and whites are more equal today than they truly are on measures of income, wealth, wages and health benefits. And they believe more historical progress has occurred than is the case, suggesting “a profound misperception of and unfounded optimism” regarding racial equality.

“It seems that we’ve convinced ourselves – and by ‘we’ I mean Americans writ large – that racial discrimination is a thing of the past,” said Jennifer Richeson, who was another of the study’s authors, along with Julian Rucker, a doctoral student. “We’ve literally overcome it, so to speak, despite blatant evidence to the contrary.”
…

Why would people get these questions so wrong — and consistently in the direction of too much optimism? (This study was also conducted after the 2016 election.) Blacks overestimated equality, too, but the biggest effects were among wealthy whites.

The researchers suspect that the answer in part has to do with how little exposure Americans have to people who are unlike them. Given how economically and racially segregated the country remains, many Americans, and especially wealthy whites, have little direct knowledge of what life looks like for families in other demographic groups.
…

“Despite this information being out there, we don’t really take it in,” Mr. Kraus said. This happens “in a way that suggests that maybe we’re motivated to forget it, or motivated to distort it in our own minds.”

He and Ms. Richeson suspect that we also overgeneralize from other markers of racial progress: the election of a black president, the passage of civil rights laws, the sea change in public opinion around issues like segregation. If society has progressed in these ways, we assume there’s been great economic progress, too.
….

We’re inclined, as well, to believe that society is fairer than it really is. The reality that it’s not — that even college-educated black workers earn about 20 percent less than college-educated white ones, for example — is uncomfortable for both blacks who’ve been harmed by that unfairness and whites who’ve benefited from it.

“It’s very difficult to consider the possibility that some of what we’ve achieved or gained is due to forces that aren’t our own individual hard work,” Ms. Richeson said. “That’s hard to grapple with, especially in American society. We really believe in egalitarianism and meritocracy.”

These findings suggest that the motivation to see the world as fair may be even stronger in this context than stereotypes white Americans hold, for instance, equating blacks with poverty.

Whites Have Huge Wealth Edge Over Blacks (but Don’t Know It)

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Racism has not always been part of the human condition. Especially since races did not exist until the 15-1600's.

I think we may have varying definitions of race or racism. Maybe I am misusing terms or you are referring to institutionalized racism, or some other factor. I don't pretend to be a social science scholar.

But I respectfully disagree, based on my understanding of the terms "race" and "racism."

Racism goes back to at least 322 B.C. (probably much earlier), based on Aristotle's writings where he distinguishes the Hellenes race (Greeks) from the barbarian races (usually referring to Armenians [original Caucasians] and Persians) equating them to slaves, and equating slaves to animals:

"Where then there is such a difference as that between soul and body, or between men and animals (as in the case of those whose business is to use their body, and who can do nothing better), the lower sort are by nature slaves, and it is better for them as for all inferiors that they should be under the rule of a master. For he who can be, and therefore is, another's and he who participates in rational principle enough to apprehend, but not to have, such a principle, is a slave by nature. Whereas the lower animals cannot even apprehend a principle; they obey their instincts. And indeed the use made of slaves and of tame animals is not very different; for both with their bodies minister to the needs of life. Nature would like to distinguish between the bodies of freemen and slaves, making the one strong for servile labor, the other upright, and although useless for such services, useful for political life in the arts both of war and peace. But the opposite often happens--that some have the souls and others have the bodies of freemen. And doubtless if men differed from one another in the mere forms of their bodies as much as the statues of the Gods do from men, all would acknowledge that the inferior class should be slaves of the superior. And if this is true of the body, how much more just that a similar distinction should exist in the soul? but the beauty of the body is seen, whereas the beauty of the soul is not seen. It is clear, then, that some men are by nature free, and others slaves, and that for these latter slavery is both expedient and right."

"But among barbarians no distinction is made between women and slaves, because there is no natural ruler among them: they are a community of slaves, male and female. Wherefore the poets say,It is meet that Hellenes should rule over barbarians;as if they thought that the barbarian and the slave were by nature one."

Aristotle on Slavery

If that motherfucker is not racist, my vocabulary needs an adjustment/update.
