Neo-Nazis clash with anti-racism protestors

It's groups like these that remind us all about human neglect and idiocracy that permiates in our modern day society.

Unfortunately much as we want to ignore them, this smaller handful of people seem very convinced that they are superior humans just because of their skin color.

Racism and ignorance comes hand in hand and in this case it looks like the racist white pride or white supremists have been stirring up in Canada.

Sadly this handful of bigots are not all that different than our racist mainstream society and institutions, the only difference is that this group is mixed into a different extreme of racism of Narcism.

When certain racists bigots start rallying as Aryan guards and white pride, it evidently shows us that society still has the race issues that are continually ignored. Although I'd admit that it's sad since there are still so many lost people trying to find some self worth and end up falling victim to "Aryan" ideals. They should do something more constructive with their lives rather than pollute the atmosphere with useless racist bigotry.

Perhaps there seems to be a lack of education in certain parts of Canada? or perhaps these people were raised to believe that the world owes them something because they are white. I fear that one day these  people will wakeup and get a real shock in life.

“White Pride”…. isn’t this scary? I didn’t know white supremacists are that high profile in Canada. And no wonder the first foreign city George W. Bush visits after his retirement is Calgary.

The Canadian Press - Violence erupted Saturday afternoon as about 30 members of a white supremacist group and hundreds of anti-racism protesters clashed in downtown Calgary.

At least two people suffered head injuries after they were struck by hurled projectiles and police arrested three people.

The Anti-Racist Action group gathered outside city hall to commemorate the International Day to Eliminate Racial Discrimination.

As they marched through the downtown, a bus carrying members of the Alberta-based neo-Nazi Aryan Guard arrived in the same area.

[ What is the Aryan Guard? The Aryan Guard is an Alberta-based neo-Nazi group with members primarily located in the city of Calgary. According to members of the group, the Aryan Guard has around 20 members as of August 2007. Their website contains images of members giving the Hitler salute and celebrating the birth of Adolf Hitler with a swastika-shaped birthday cake.

The Aryan Guard was founded in late 2006 but became noteworthy in 2007 when members began a flyering campaign targeted at immigrants. Some of these flyers had been surreptitiously placed in the free Calgary arts and culture newspaper, “Fast Forward” by Aryan Guard members. Through the research efforts of The Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, it is suspected that the individual responsible for the flyers may be Bill Noble, a neo-Nazi well-known to law enforcement for his online activism and who is currently charged under Section 319 of the Canadian Criminal Code for willfull promotion of hatred. The Aryan Guard’s website is also registered in Noble’s name.]

In all, about 500 people from the two groups clashed outside a transit station, which led to train and bus service briefly being shut down.

Some of the anti-racism protesters were angered that police escorted the Aryan Guard members on a march they claimed celebrated “White Pride World Day” in remembrance of their European culture and heritage.

“Stop protecting racists,” they screamed at officers, who tried to form a human wall separating the two groups.

Members of the neo-Nazi group - many wearing sunglasses and scarves over their faces to hide their identities - waved white-power flags and signs bearing swastikas, and shouted expletives at the crowd.

As the clash heated up, water bottles, snow and placards rained down on the Aryans, who carried signs reading: “White pride, why not?”

Jason Devine, a spokesman for the Anti-Racist Action group, said the white supremacists have to be exposed and ignoring them sends the wrong message to the public.

“Today’s action won’t get rid of the Aryan Guard, but it definitely is a blow to them,” he said.

“The only way to deal with this type of virulent and violent racism is social ostracism - letting them know that this is not acceptable in this community.”

Aryan Guard supporters Kelsey, 15, and Meghan, 18, who declined to give their last names, said they’re not racists.

“I like being white and I think they take it the wrong way,” said Kelsey, wearing a black scarf around her neck emblazoned with a white circle and cross in the middle.

Calgary police have said the Aryan Guard has been trying to recruit students at Calgary schools.
