Neo-Nazis at Applebee’s

Yes, it’s scary and upsetting, but this is also the funniest article about white supremacists that I’ve ever read. (via waxy)

And in closing I add, “Where shall we meet?”

The local leader of the hate group — an organization that is a direct spinoff from the old American Nazi Party and that sees itself as carrying on Hitler’s dream to purify the white race and prevent Jews and blacks from degrading “our” culture — responds:

“How about Applebee’s? I’ll be coming with my wife, baby, and one other member. We can meet in the reception area. I’ll be coming with two women and a baby?”

Bingo! I’ve got a date with hate! And who doesn’t love Applebee’s? It has quality dinners and a wide selection — and all at budget prices!
[. . .]
I’m nervously sick to my stomach at the prospect of the entire evening as I drive the 1 1/2 hours from San Francisco, purposely making sure I’m 40 minutes late for my white supremacist rendezvous. That way, they’re going to absolutely hate me.
[. . .]
“There’s nothing I hate more than traffic,” I present as an excuse. “Except, of course, the Jews.” Surprisingly (or not surprisingly), they agree.

Of course, like most profiles of this nature, the article is full of revealing moments that would probably make you queasy if it were written by a more somber writer. Haveing read articles like this before, the article didn’t contain many shocking moments, but this one definitely stuck out :

“This is another of our publications,” white supremacist Kevin says, doing so while avoiding eye contact; his voice fills with pride. “It deals with current issues. It deals with historical issues.” He pulls out a magazine geared toward “A New Consciousness; A New Order; A New People.” “It’s kind of like Time magazine, except it’s for us.”
[. . .]
Just like Time, this magazine’s entertainment section reviews Saturday Night Live skits that feature Jewish performers (need I tell you its take?). A review of Ann Coulter’s book Slander reads, “Slander is fast, funny and factual. Although, unless you know the code, it can also be frustrating. The secret code is this: Almost every time you read the word ‘liberal,’ think ‘Jew.’ [Sounds like a crazy racist drinking game to me.] By not stating the real problem, Ann is aiding and abetting the enemy.”

Ahem. The code?? Do these white power assholes know something we don’t? Perhaps somebody could ask Ann (through her bosses at the Universal Press Syndicate) if she knows anything about the codes she’s supposedly throwing into her work.

  2. “Now I see it. This is what happens to skinheads when they grow up, have kids, and move to the suburbs. They become fatherly, respectable, racist white supremacists, the kind you’d wave to at the company picnic.”

    In fairness to non-boneheads, there are many skinheads who are not white supremacists. A little nitpicky, but it might be better for Leon to use the phrase “white-power skinheads” when referring to these racist types.
