I Found a Hate Flyer This Morning

This morning, while out walking my dog, I found a hate flyer (see picture below).
Some background....I moved to Omaha 9 months ago after 11 years in Boulder, CO. to live with my girlfriend who I met because of Pearl Jam. There is basically NO diversity in Boulder  and very little in Colorado. So it was refreshing to move to a neighborhood in Omaha with a great  deal of diversity. Just yesterday  I saw a little Sudanese girl in a hijab pushing a Nepalese boy on a swing. 
So imagine  my shock  when I found  the flyer this morning just feet from that swingset.

As some of you may have noticed on here I am very much against people who believe in fear, hate, and ignorance as a way of life. It's sad and disappointing  to find it ones own neighborhood. 

At this time I have reached out to the local media, police, mayors office, neighbors via the nextdoor app, and the ADL. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks for reading

    Pepe the Frog and everything. Disgusting.

    This country is in a scary place and that place is a cliff. It's a long way down and what's at the bottom looks like that flyer.

    There have been a couple instances of this in metro Vancouver too (and it's always a big story met with widespread anger and disgust by the majority), so it's not just a USA thing. I'm sure it's happening in many countries where white people have been running the show for a long time and are now facing a change to the status quo as demographics change more and more. It is obviously a fear reaction. Flyers like this are popping up in places that are diversifying, because those are the places where racist white people are feeling threatened. They feel like their position of power and privilege as white people (especially white men) is on shaky ground... and they're 100% right about that. The problem is that they refuse to acknowledge that this is actually a good thing for everyone. They are terrified and angry because they are selfish fucks. This is how groups (in this case, the group would be racist white people) who have held control and liked that control and the privilege it has afforded them always react when their control becomes threatened. It's absolutely pathetic and disgusting, but also entirely predictable.

    I had to look up "Stormer Book Club" and now I'm probably on some radical watch list, lol.

    That book club is a white supremacist group.

    That's messed up.  Call the local newspaper.

    Bummer that this flyer showed up in your neighborhood, Bentleyspop.  I'm sorry to hear about that.

    To some degree or other, there is hate pretty much everywhere, although I was in San Francisco's Castro District yesterday visiting my step- daughter and that's one place you're very unlikely to find hate.  The diversity there is fantastic and the vibe is great.  And, of course, it's a haven for people- gays- who have been subject to a lot of hate. But even in this so-called "ultra liberal" state of California, there a several hate groups as can be seen in this map published by Southern Poverty Law Center:


    I remain positive on this issue based on the sense I get that younger generations are becoming more accepting and the hope that with that will come a lessening of hate and hate groups.

    I bet that map aligns almost exactly with minority populations. That is why the middle is so blank... it's still mostly white people in those blank spaces.

    I saw a skinhead today.  Gave him the finger but he didn't see me.

    It’s easier on people’s ears if they say “I didn’t like the direction the country was going”.

    Back to your original request. BP, I really don't know what else to suggest.  It sounds like you've done a lot already!  Good show!

    Yes, thank you for your efforts in exposing these fuckers. Probably cry like little bitches when they get caught.

    Good for the Anti Defamation League for exposing these creeps for what they are.  Southern Poverty Law Center does a fine job that way too.

    Hate is such a negative emotion, I feel for those who choose that as their way of life.

    Most, if not all of the people, who choose hate as a way of life all choose fear, ignorance,  and jealousy to accompany that hate.

    This is propaganda at it's finest.  Bringing further equality is an all out assault on the white race...  When I first heard this I was curious as to why?  Then I heard someone on here tell the "pool" analogy and it made absolute sense.

    How weird - when I clicked on this thread and read this post, that song had literally just started playing on a random Spotify playlist I'm listening to. Spoooky!! :tongue:
