I checked the major national news sites last night and this morning, expecting to see something. Nope, nothing. I expected at least a photo or two of tall, blonde, Aryan-looking guys in a parade with buxom Viking women and adorable tow-headed tots scampering behind, but no, all was silent. Aren’t these supposed to be the majority of True Americans?
But then I read this interview with Kyle Hunt, the guy who announced the White Man March.
VICE: What kind of events are you expecting to take place as a part of the White Man March? You mention “lightning mobs,” which I’m not terribly familiar with.
Kyle Hunt: People will be distributing literature, displaying signs, and getting our message out in any way possible. “Lightning marches” are simply non-violent flash mobs, keeping the location from the public so as to avoid confrontations with violent “anti-racists” and “anti-fascists” (a.k.a. anti-Whites), who deny White people the right to peaceful assembly and free speech.
Oh, I see. So it was kind of a stealth demonstration, where they’d sneak into places where nobody would see and flash signs at each other and then scurry away before anyone would notice. That’s brilliant!
Tonight, I’m going to have a pro-science parade in my bedroom closet, with the lights out. Don’t tell anyone about it, though — it’s a secret. But I’m sure it will advance my cause!
Here you go: the worldwide, international event drew 10 people in one city.
A march so white it was transparent.
Hunt has political aspirations:
The American Freedom Party is listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
So “racist” and “fascist” is synonymous with “white”. I never knew that. Learn something new every day.
For some reason progressives don’t characterize Occupy Wall Street as a “White Man’s March,” even though men dominated it and demographically it looked whiter than the state of Oregon. Many of these white men also held degrees from elite universities and earned incomes well above the U.S. median, so they seem like a pretty privileged bunch:

Flash mob in PZ’s closet!!! (Orgy to follow.)
Apropos of nothing much, the advertisement I am currently seeing has something to due with the chief of raping children cult based in Rome, a old white guy who recently asserted the cult he benefits from “had done more than anyone else” with regards to pedophilia. Yes, it has, it protects and promotes the rapists more than other mafias.
Raping children, protecting the rapists, tithes and organized crime, whining that there are people who are not male and people who are white-skinned, and stomping jackboots — pink-skinned thugs marching.
MArk, go fuck yourself.

Do you have a point or were you just trying to smear the Occupy Movement by association with far right bigots?
Mark, while lack of diversity in some activist circles has been seen as an issue for a while, it’s a non sequitor to compare White identified neo-segregationists with Occupy.
Mark Plus:
So you are equating marching for economic justice for all with marching for white rights? Interesting. Do go on.
Translated Mark: “At some other point in the past a group composed mostly of white men gathered to protest something therefore…something.”
There are worse ways to spend a Sunday than browsing the hashtag #whitemanprotestsigns
Matk Plus‘s assertion also applies to the USAlienstan federal government — and all state governments — therefore … they can be ignored as criminal, incompetent, and so on…
Convenient, that, another rationale to ignore laws, conventions, and regulations you don’t happen to like: They aren’t made by / don’t benefit only my tribe / benefit some people in other tribes, and hence
canmust be ignored.Also known as “flash in the pan mobs” – if you blink, you might miss ’em…
Perhaps what they’re going to to is total up all the traffic that passed through the area and say that, at one point or another, it was part of the mob.
Here’s a report on the “march”: Worldwide ‘White Man March’ draws 10 people and ‘Diversity = White Genocide’ signs.
What I rolled about laughing about was this quote, “[Kyle] Hunt recently [said] he could be “president of the United States in 2020…”.
What color is the sky on Mr Hunt’s planet? (Pink, I assume, to march his preferred skin coloring.)
You know what else is like white genocide?? Littering!!!
“Lightning marches” are simply non-violent flash mobs…
So other flash mobs have involved violence? Got any, um, examples?
“Lightning” in this context sure sounds like an allusion to “blitz” (which distinctly lacks “non-violent” connotations)…
Oooh, 10 people in Cincinnati, some wearing KKK robes, and a handful of signs in Alabama. OK.
@ #15 blf
I’m guessing purple because I think he is showing signs of hypoxia
Maybe that’s because it wasn’t trying to secure rights exclusively for white people, and wasn’t crusading to deny rights to non-white people?
You know, it’s not a bad thing if more people from the white majority in this country would be willing to sacrifice to tear down barriers to equality.
Besides, the racist creeps behind yesterday’s failed event would be quite happy for it to be called a White Man’s March.
Yes, that struck me too. He thinks opposing white people is the same as opposing fascism and racism, but fails to suggest that maybe he (and those of like mind) should stop it with the racism and fascism.
So, his strategy was
“Blitzmarsch”?
Yeah, I’m so impressed with how far the white supremacists have come in 75 years
“Blitzmarsch”?
Too much drinking Blitz so not so much marching.
Wow. I am totally overwhelmed by the massive public support for this white man movement. Soon they will undoubtedly occupy the vast majority of positions of power and authority in this country. One day they may even be able to elect a president.
Non sequitur alert about a famous White man:
Nathan Phelps reports that his father Fred is dying in a hospice, isolated from the estranged members of his family and excommunicated from the Westboro Baptist Church.
The Buddhists say that a person should approach death without drugs if at all possible, because the moments before it provide an opportunity for clarity, to examine one’s life without many of the usual delusions and self-deceptions we use to avoid self-knowledge. I sincerely hope they are right. May he have ample time to reflect on what he has been and done and empathize with everyone whom he has caused to suffer.
Staging a public protest requires courage and the willingness to stand up for your rights while staring down the opposition. Civil rights marches were under constant violent attack from the KKK, nazi groups, even the police — and they kept on going with large public protests anyway until the issue got across.
Obviously these guys aren’t just racist morons, they’re also cowards who can’t handle the fact that people might show up who disagree with them.
Cincinnati? Say no more, say no more…
So, is your march a goer?
Out of curiosity and because it’s Purim I decided to read a bit of their website. A modern day Haman. Racist idiots in hiding afraid to be seen because someone might say something and hurt their feelings. I’m still trying to figure out what white culture is… The best I could make out from the comments is it’s the right to have white countries where whites initially lived in which case I suggest they move back to Europe and ply their bigotry there as the Americas were settled by non-whites 1st… Although they claim there might have been whites before the native Americans but since they don’t cite sources and so many of their “facts” are wrong I’m unable to take the claim seriously enough to do even a quick Google search.
After reading several blog entries and watching a number of videos I’m glad I’m required to drink today and will be reading fantasy… That would be something meant to be fantasy not fantasy trying to pretend to be reality and thinking maybe I need to do something about getting those multiple citizenship documents so I can flee America if needed as I’m part of the evil Jews (yeah they come out & say this in at least one video & one blog post graph) using “diversity” as a trick/code = genocide the white race… Yep that’s us out to rule the world although if you get three of us in the same room we can’t agree on anything – not what to eat, drink, how to practice, I mean nothing, but somehow we are able to rule the world… Badly since we frequently end up killed, attacked, discriminated against, even in wonderful America…
From comments on the blog post about the March it didn’t look like thousands were going to be holding secret “marches”. I wonder how many had the guts to post the banner “diversity = white genocide” publicly?

Holy shit, they kicked out Fred?! How the hell was Fred not right wing enough for his own church?!
30, some bastard on the net:
I’m guessing that he developed some fatal, painful disease which turned him into an invalid, and they took it as an insult that he was in too much pain to go off on some kind of protest. That’s entirely a guess, but you must admit that it fits in with the general tone and known facts about the WBC.
Why can’t they just use the phrase flash mob instead of making up lightning marches? Or is that just how they translated blitzkrieg?
@32 barbyau
Because flashing is illegal – public indecency at least. They don’t want their membership to misunderstand the purpose. . .
