White Nationalists Are Ecstatic About Jeff Sessions’ Nomination

kyredneck:: 'I’m not a white nationalist, I’m a nationalist'

True, but the label (wn) has been in use with this meaning since the at least the 60s. WS goes back even further. WN, IIRC was first used by ws organizations to describe them selves. It wasn't something the SPLC invented by themselves.

Well, y'all went and fed the troll.

Never thought you were. From what I've read up thread, neither is Senator Sessions. I look at the Daily Stormer article as an example of wishful thinking.

Andrew Anglin, editor of the neo-Nazi site The Daily Stormer, wrote that Sessions’ nomination, along with the appointment of retired Gen. Mike Flynn as national security adviser and Steve Bannon as Trump’s chief strategist, is “like Christmas.”

“Of course, I was thinking of Sessions for either Secretary of State or Defense, but I think Trump is making a point by putting an aggressive anti-Black racist in as AG,” Anglin wrote. “It’s a corrective measure, after Obama turned the Justice Department into the Black Panthers.”

But even Anglin acknowledged that the very features that make Sessions an attractive pick to neo-Nazis might make Senate confirmation challenging.

“The reason he might face trouble? Because he’s a racist and most of these RINOs (Republican in Name Only) in Congress are filthy cuck traitors to the White race and the GOP,” Anglin wrote.

If that means Sessions is a White Nationalist, does that make you a black supremist, ctb?

 

[righteousdude2]

Of course I did. You just did not like the way your question lead.

OK. Black nationalists have not lynched thousands of white Americans.

Do you approve of Trump's appointment of white supremacists?

Enough of the madness ... your race baiting is annoying, ctb.

Maybe so, but it riles me that nationalists who happen to be white are being smeared as something they are not. Who knows, sometimes feeding the ugly trolls may actually result in some enlightenment along the way..

Well if not enlightenment, at least some light hilarity. We could all use a good gut check laugh from time to time, and trolls do tend to provide more to laugh at then a seasoned comedian. Especially our resident trolls.

 

[Squire Robertsson]

KY, the term has a specific meaning. It does not refer to American nationalists who happen to be white. A paper which uses wording like

filthy snip traitors to the White race

is white nationalist not American nationalist.

When the label "White Nationalist" is used to denigrate anyone who is "white" and a "nationalist" then such a ploy becomes a dishonest tactic and typically comes from those who are false accusers whose only argument is an accusation of racism. Such is a purely fallacious argument that is offensive... .

 

[Don]

KY and Benjamin are right. The term is being bandied about as a description of "most" people who voted for Trump. It's dishonest and deplorable; but hey, if you can't honestly win a discussion, then you might as well smear, lie, and insult your opponenrs, right?

 

[Don]

Anyone else notice, or would like to comment about CTB not re-appearing in this thread since it was pointed out that Sessions actually did things against the KKK and supported civil rights?

Guess it doesn't fit the narrative?

 

[Benjamin]

There is a label for one that is constantly throwing out accusations to get a rise out of people on an internet forum and then merely dodges any correction to his accusations only to return and throw out more accusations. In this case a quite accurate label if you know what I mean...

 

[Crabtownboy]

Source, please. I've done a couple of quick searches, and can't find this.

You are right. Sessions did not say this. I was going to put in a Sessions quote and decided not to and forgot to delete the quote part. I was at church and away long enough that I could not edit the post. Perhaps one of the administrators can remove those words.

However, the definitions stand.

White nationalismis an ideology that advocates a racial definition of national identity.[1]Proponents of the ideology identify with and are attached to the concept of a white nation.[2]It ranges from a preference for one's specific white ethnic group, to feelings of superiority, including calls for national citizenship to be reserved forwhite people.

White supremacy or white supremacism is a racist ideology centered upon the belief, and promotion of the belief, that white people are superior in certain characteristics, traits, and attributes to people of other racial backgrounds and that therefore white people should politically, economically and socially rule non-white people.

Also note the OP. It is not specifically about Sessions, but about:

[Benjamin]

Yes, CTB, we fully understand that you proudly "stand" by your unsupported accusations by unscrupulously using the definition of "White Nationalist" and not addressing the arguments against your labeling ...

But you haven't shown that Sessions is a "white nationalist."

Neither have you commented on the facts that show Sessions fought for civil rights, and ensured a KKK member received--not just sentenced with, but followed through and ensured the sentence was carried out--the death penalty for murdering a black teen.

You've implied guilt by association.

By this standard, what should we think of Hillary or the Obamas, who have publicly supported rapper groups that make millions from lyrics that denigrate women, and/or promote rape and murdering white people?

If you read the OP you will realize that the OP does not say Sessions is a white nationalist. It says the white nationalists are very happy about his appointment.

Why do you think his appointment makes them happy?

Doesn't your question imply Sessions is guilty of white nationalism?

 

[Aaron]

Why do you think his appointment makes them happy?

The same reason a free speech champion makes Fred Phelps happy.

Or the Fifth Amendment makes Lois Lerner and Loretta Lynch happy.

Or the Eighteenth Amendment made Al Capone happy.

CTB - while you're buying into the same sort of smear campaign Sessions faced in 1986, you might consider:

"For instance, he was one of the only Republican senators to support Eric Holder's nomination for attorney general.

As a U.S. Attorney he filed several cases to desegregate schools in Alabama. And he also prosecuted Klansman Henry Francis Hays, son of Alabama Klan leader Bennie Hays, for abducting and killing Michael Donald, a black teenager selected at random. Sessions insisted on the death penalty for Hays. When he was later elected the state Attorney General, Sessions followed through and made sure Hays was executed. The successful prosecution of Hays also led to a $7 million civil judgment against the Klan, effectively breaking the back of the KKK in Alabama."

None of that matters. The left says he's a racist and labels mean everything, even if totally false and self serving.. That ends the discussion.

There's something insidious with conflating 'nationalist' with 'supremacist', as in a subtle programming to put an unsavory light on patriotism. It stinks.

na·tion·al·ist
ˈnaSH(ə)nələst/
noun
noun: nationalist; 1. a person who advocates political independence for a country.

"Insidious" is a good word to describe the tactics of the left, especially right now.
