  2. My God!! What a monster!! The man had the audacity to love his own race and want it to not only survive but thrive!! All such evil misanthropes should be summarily executed!! People must be made to realize what a short step it is from attitudes like that to the Nazis heating up the furnaces again!

    • You go do that in Europe where you come from and not in another continent, to kill all the indigenous people and all the newcomers just to stay white.
      You must be made to realize what a short step is from altitudes like that to the Israeli settlers preparing for another Nakba.

    • “Gas Chambers?” Now – now, You know that is B.S.! Why expose that You are Bolshevik-Zionist Hollywood ‘Slime’ Industry Brainwashed Zombie?

    • Gee – I wonder if the likes of the huffing and puffington compost will write such a glowing article at the passing of the hundreds and thousands of brown. black, and Jewish supremacists when they pass. I guess they believe it is wrong for White people to love their race and be proud of the accomplishments White people have brought to civilization. The only ones who are allowed to “opt out” of the clown show are those who are non-white.

  3. When I read that guy Christopher Mathias wrote a tweet which one in a part say…. “the infamous America First Committee led by anti-Semite Charles Lindbergh, which opposed U.S. intervention in WWII”… I thought… well, that guy with his “argument” look like he has just shown he’s working for that little shit country on middle east.
