KKK, xians' invasion of Indian Tribes

http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/2005/03/succubus.html

-snip-


Many of the attempts at analysis so far have emphasized the peculiarity of a minority -- Weise was Native American -- adopting neo-Nazi beliefs. But for researchers of the far right, it's perhaps not so surprising. After all, it has been known for some time that the Ku Klux Klan has actively attempted to recruit tribal members from the Lakota Sioux and other reservations for years.

Some Indian leaders who have caught wind of these activities have undertaken high-profile efforts to combat recruitment by extremist organizations within the tribes, partly because the far right's virulent anti-government beliefs struck a chord with some Indians. Some adherents of the white-supremacist Christian Identity movement are known to argue that Indians are Aryans, while others voice admiration for Native Americans who insist on marrying only within their tribal nations. Such notions of "racial purity" obviously were all the common ground a kid like Jeff Weise needed.

There is also a real fascination on the far right with Native American tribal sovereignty and how it might relate to their shopworn theories about "sovereign citizenship, which was a staple of the Posse Comitatus and Montana Freemen, as well as numerous militias. Tribal sovereignty, in essence, offers the far right whole new horizons in kookery. In recent years, this has mutated into such far-right scams as the Little Shell Pembina Band.

At the same time, there is little question that the racist right has been stepping up its recruitment efforts, particularly among young people. I've discussed this phenomenon and its ramifications numerous times over the past year. It should be clear that Weise's rampage is the kind of ramification I've been warning against.

There's no sign of it slowing down, either -- largely because the issue has been getting zero attention from the Fifth Estate. But nature abhors a vacuum, and the succubus loves the shadows.

1. How any indigenous native american could beleive ANYTHING
any white man told him just astonishes me.

This is a race of people who have been systematically fucked over for centuries, no matter who was in power among the whites, and it continues today unabated.

Why can't the anti-KKK folks point that fact out? Do THEY still think it is possible to deal with the white power structure with any sort of honor or integrity?

Hey, I'm as white as white can get and if any native american even suggested that was the case I'd have to laugh in his face. The whole "Indian" question is an unending blot on the history of this nation.

2. A long time ago
natives were converted to Christianity, faced with death or converting, a lot of them did, and now are just as white as you are. They're called 'apples'.. red on the outside, white on the inside.

This is how some of them are Republicans.. they've been brainwashed by the far right, and aren't able to see that they are living a lie.

That boy was very confused, living with his grandfather who was probably an apple.

3. I agree. I can't imagine why Native Americans would let these
people sell them such a bill of goods. It just seems like one more attempt at exploitation (as if there hadn't already been enough).
