Armed Neighborhood Groups Form In The Absence Of Police Protection
Cesia Baires knocks on the three apartment doors above her restaurant and a neighboring taqueria just before curfew.

A woman opens the door. Her two young children are inside.

"Remember," she says to them in Spanish. "Same thing as yesterday. I'm going to come check on you. If there's anything you guys need, give us a call right away."




Meanwhile, a few men climb through the window and on to the roof to set up semi-automatic weapons as the curfew begins in Minneapolis. It's something Baires never thought she would have to do as a small-business owner, but then she found out these apartments were occupied.

"Material things we can replace, that's true," she says. "But there are families up here. These aren't empty buildings."

Her group — Security Latinos De La Lake — is one of many neighborhood watch groups sprouting up across the Twin Cities and in other parts of the country as dozens of mostly peaceful protests continue every day, sometimes in the face of violence from law enforcement: tear gas, rubber bullets and pepper spray. The Twin Cities have largely calmed, but Baires says she wasn't even able to get through to 911 until Monday

Isn't that article just the worst, though? Since it is a racial minority it's very objective in a way that if it were white people do the same it would't be. It blames white nationalism, which is not a thing (to any meaningful degree) right now in these protests. But eventually it loses objectivity. The worst part is here:

Right now, in the chaos of an uprising, the who and why are just not clear. It could be impassioned protesters moved to burn buildings, desperate to finally be heard, it could be anarchists or white supremacists, or opportunists, or all of the above.

"Impassioned protesters" who burn buildings "desperate to finally be heard", their actions fully justified by their passion.

Or it could be white people.

Whenever I hear "white nationalism" I immediately stop reading. It's possible I'm wrong. It's possible it's a thing. I've seen no evidence to prove it is an actual thing other than an overblown media hypeword to get liberals pist off.

Nationalists are people that love their country and are Patriots. Every country has some - hopefully. They come in all colors. Some are white.

Nationalism was born to UNITE all peoples, regardless of their Race, Religion, or Culture into a common purpose.

The following quotes perfectly explain Nationalism:
“And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country."
"My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”
John F Kennedy

And here is an excellent explanation of Nationalism in Nigeria: Nigerian nationalism - Wikipedia (Nigerian nationalism - Wikipedia)
Nigerian nationalism - Wikipedia
Nigerian nationalism asserts that Nigerians are a nation and promotes the cultural unity of Nigerians.
It was founded because of the belief in the necessity for the people living in the British colony of Nigeria of multiple backgrounds to unite as one people in order to be able to resist colonialism.

But in the USA the Left has created the term “White Nationalist”, and has largely been successful in making it synonymous with “White Supremacist”.
This is a deliberate attempt to make Patriotism Racist.

American Nationalism is a GOOD thing. Loving America and being willing to sacrifice to keep this wonderful country healthy and prosperous should be something every American can get behind.

I dislike the invention of the term “White Nationalist” just as much as I would condemn the term “Black Nationalist” - who would simply be a Black person who is a Patriot.

These are all invented terms intended to DIVIDE us. While we are fighting each other we are easier to conquer and control.

I've never met one. It's a thing like shark attacks. Shark attacks are real, but like don't worry about them. You're pretty much never going to be bitten by a shark. How many white nationalists really exist in the US? Not many, or else they are extremely secretive. How many of us have seen them out in public running protests or whatever the heck? It's a basically made-up group. The left is good at that, though (think of how many transgender people you've ever met).

The notion that white nationalists are looting in response to george floyd is beyond fucking stupid. It's another one of these things so obviously ridiculous on its very face.

True. Hell you even caught me there in my post above, I kept using nationalist in place of supremacist. I'm a nationalist who is white, and there are nationalists who are black. I believe in the strength of a country and sovereignty.

So to be clear I have never met a white supremacist. I have seen a number of black supremacists on the news recently, though.

Yes, sadly, even President Trump has used the term "White Nationalist".

Not recently, tho.

Nationalism is designed to UNITE - not DIVIDE.

Using Nationalist with any racial adjective is an oxymoron - and used by morons.

It find "White Nationlist", "Black Nationalist" equivalent to "Reverse Racism". These are all examples of "Nonsense Terms", used only as Political Weapons.
