Maine official behind pro-white group says he expects to be out of job soon

Source: Bangor Daily News

The town manager of Jackman, responding to a backlash on social media and some selectmen questioning his pro-white views expressed on a website, said he expects to lose his job soon.

“I don’t know anything yet, but I strongly suspect that I’ll be needing to be doing something else soon,” Tom Kawczynski, 37, told the Bangor Daily News Saturday morning.

Kawczynski said Friday that he wants to preserve the region’s white majority and keep out Muslims but rejected the idea that his views are racist, saying people of different racial backgrounds are welcome in his movement, as long as their culture is “rooted in Western civilization.”

He also expressed his views in detail on the New Albion website and on the social network site Gab.

1. Such a moron. And not even a Mainer, but an outsider

He wants Maine to be an all-white community. Oh, and he hates feminists. Naturally he states "I am not a racist."

He's from Arizona and arrived in our great state only a year ago. Now he thinks he's a "defender of New England." Well, the state of Maine wants him to crawl back in that hole he crawled out of.

On the social network Gab, Kawczynski boasts of building a "rapidly strengthening foothold here in western Maine...The ideas sell themselves when people see all our corrupt politicians rushing to glorify s-holes like Haiti on TV," he writes.

6. In defense of Jackman, Maine, this guy's attitudes are probably a surprise to them

He only moved to Maine a year ago. The good people of Jackman are no doubt aghast about the way he makes their town look.

He'll be out of a job by Monday.

A very rural logging town it seemed. Does it really lean liberal? It would be nice to see a liberal rural town!

10. It is a conservative part of the state, but the local biz community just issued this

on the Jackman, Maine Facebook page:

We, the Business community as well as the residents of Jackman have just learned of the views of our Town Manager. First, know that when interviewed, a person is NOT asked their religion, political preference, or views on race and nationality, for example, so this is just as shocking and offensive to us.
2nd, The Jackman Maine community do not share his views and call on the town selectman to do what is needed.

13. Looks like if he came from Arizona

he fled soon-to-be-majority-Hispanic Arizona for the whiter environs of Maine. The article says he came from New Hampshire, though.

Apparently white flight now includes changing states.

In Maine the name "Jackman" is synonymous with everything good about the outdoors.

They were swindled by this guy.

Yet lots of things like this on his personal GAB page:

Leaves are like civilizations

They change color as they die.

and this:

Why #NewAlbion you ask? Northern New England is 94% white, and only 2% black. Whatever other problems we have, I think last night demonstrated just how important these demographics are as fundamentals.
