White Supremacists Throw a Party in Rural Tennessee

Once again, I forgot to mark my calendar and missed the 22nd Annual White Christian Heritage Festival in bucolic Pulaski. This year’s festival was apparently quite a hit, featuring white pride crafts on display and a refreshment stand with hot dogs and BBQ. Heritage Connection --one of most popular acts in the white separatist movement (seriously)-- rocked the little town square and played their most requested song “Aryan Warrior.” Weirdly, media from around the world were present, including National TV from Russia, Telecinco of Spain, Novus TV from Holland and Geo Magazine from Italy. This group of uber conservative Christians from Nashville was also there doing whatever it is they do. It is so important to remember white heritage. We just don’t get to do that enough in a country where the vast majority of people are white, most holidays were started by white Christians, almost everybody on TV or radio is white and our government is, for the most part, composed of white guys. It’s great that these fine people are taking the time to pause and think of our glorious white past in this age where white people still run pretty much everything. On a historical note, Pulaski was the birthplace of the KKK, though townsfolk there are trying hard to repudiate that history. I called the Giles County government office and no one there would talk to me about this event and I guess I can't really blame them. "I don't want my head on a platter," said one woman who answered the phone there.

How can the views of Thomas Robb not represent the viewpoints or opinions of Thomas Robb Ministries?! That is rich.

Christians, get fucking real. Fake Christians. This racist bullshit is a mental disorder.

Folks, make no mistake. These slack-jawed, knuckle-dragging, redneck, white trash, willfully and woefully ignorant, racist, Bible-thumping jerks are the same people who chant "dittos Rush" like lobotomized zombies, use their e-mail (if they understand how to use it) to peddle lies about Obama's birth certificate/refusal to observe the national anthem/took his oath on the Koran/etc., and then claim to love Jesus. Look closely. They are more of a threat to your freedom than a Middle Eastern terrorist could ever aspire to be.

it's all just a damn shame. the willfully ignorant are what they are, and unfortunately, more often than not, what they are is proud of it. there are blacks in the inner city who will vote for obama because he's black, but don't even know his first name, much less what his positions are.. there are whites in the hills who can recite falsehoods about him better than the pledge of allegiance. republicans don't really stand to gain on either side though, because most of these yahoos vote the 'constitution party' or 'confederation party' or whatever, or just write in their grandaddy. oh well.

"This group" of uberconservative Christians who were there "doing whatever it is they do" was probably filming the "festival" to do a commentary on how white supremacy and Christianity are diametrically opposed to one another.
I happen to know "this group" - they are cultural apologists who cover all sorts of cultural and moral issues, as well as this kind of racism, and expose it for what it is.
Your post - whether you intended it to or not - IMPLIED that they may have been there for other reasons? Perhaps I am mistaken, but if that is so, please clarify what you meant by posting the link to their blog (which I assist in administering - which is how I was lead back to your post) and then pithily insinuating something about "whatever it is they do"... I am interested in your reply to this.

I'm glad that it's just "'men's' hearts" they are battling for. That leaves 3/4's the human race out of that battle -- probably more since there are more women and children on planet earth than men and they probably aren't interested in other colors of skin either.

Needless to say, if this was any other type of racial group displaying their ethnic pride nobody would have a problem with it. Only us of White European decent are racist and backwards. Stick around when Obama becomes president. We'll see just exactly how wonderful things become.

Can't wait, Robert. Racist jerks like you will be gnashing your teeth, shaking your fist at the world, and getting ignored as the irrelevant would-be obstructionists on the road to any meaningful progress in the world that you are. I know that logic or intellectual honesty means nothing to you dittohead morons who inhabit the Gun-Totin' & Jesus-Lovin' Republic of Wingnuttia, but surely even you can see the difference in a group like this and, say, the Irish-American Parade, an Italian Street Fair, or a Black History Month event. So, no, you are absolutely wrong and showing your deep-rooted racist nature to try and equate this hate group with "an other racial group." They are not the same, and as a 54-year-old white man, born in Tennessee, with no ancestor past seven generations back who was an immigrant, I welcom the chance to point out that these kind of white-power nutjobs are a disgrace to my "race."

Glad to be white, wish more people were. I think it's nice to see some place that embraces the backbone of America for once (like it or not) instead of doing what everywhere else does - handing over the keys of the city to the BLACK mass of thugs.
(yea, I said it.)

Who really cares what skin color someone is. It's just part of human anatomy. We all belong to the same species. If some technologically-advanced alien species invades our planet, we're all doomed since we're already separated by our petty differences. Has anybody listened to Bill Pullman's speech in the Independence Day movie?
