THAT is what white identity is?
FACT - Someone claimed white identify was in the forefront.
That shit was *NEVER* in the forefront.
Tiki torches indeed. And the only Jew hating going on in this country worth noting is from the left wing media. Tons and tons of rich privileged white boys ARE Jews, you dink.

[quote]What is different about this iteration of white nationalism is how the movement is framing its ideas, and the place those ideas occupy in U.S. politics. One of the chants white nationalists repeatedly turned to as they marched in Charlottesville on Friday night and Saturday was “white lives matter” — a direct response to the “Black Lives Matter” movement that emerged after the killing of Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri, police in August 2014 and the resulting protests.[/quote]
That is white nationalism

I would be less obtuse if people would stop using white nationalism as a definition for white identity.
Fact - Someone stated white identity was in the foreground and now is in the background
Fact - someone is trying to claim the definition of white identity is white nationalism
Fact - this would be much easier if someone would just define white identity
I didn't define it as white nationalism

And just told you that white nationalism is born out of having an identify of that of being white. You're being obtuse and not fooling anyone. Again, what exactly is your end goal, here?

White - a Caucasian person
Identity - the fact of being who a person is.
White identity - the fact of being a Caucasian person.

Now see how that can be used by the white nationalists I cited above and how it could play into the graffiti in question. Not hard. I give every bit of credibility to the fact that fake hate speech has vandalized things before, but it's best not to hand wave it off so lightly.

It can be, but white nationalism is fringe. VERY fringe.
A poster claimed white identity was in the forefront and now white identity is in the background but it is wanted and being actively fought for to be in the foreground again.
I will concede to the current existence of white proliferation, but NOT any sort of white identity beyond what is displayed by white nationalists. Most white people have a lot more important things to do than put the word white in front of things to make themselves feel better. I believe 99 percent of white people do not even think about being white.
White privilege does exist in the USA, but the whites have both fought themselves and worked together for eons to end up with it as a by-product. Playing victim did not produce too many privileged winners over the centuries and it is not going to work now. And speaking of white identity, how did that white nationalism work out for the Germans?
Here is a definition for you

We already know that white lives matter
By Rogue Informationist
Fri, 04/20/2018 - 11:32am
Our entire culture is full of white people and their lives mattering. How many things in this country are named after George Washington, one of the most famous white guys? We don't need to say that white lives matter because we can see it plainly in who runs companies, who is in our government, who is pictured on our currency (with the exception of the Sacajawea gold dollar coin), who we name things after, who is on television in starring roles, etc etc etc.
Black Lives Matter does not equal White Lives Don't Matter.
Black Lives Matter equals something like... Black Lives Should Matter Just As Much As White Lives But Often They Do Not And People of Color Especially Black People Tend to Face Violence At The Hands Of White Officers And In Other Situations Where Violence Would Not Be Used On White People.
Further, the phrase "White Lives Matter" has been trotted out in response to "Black Lives Matter" and has never been used otherwise.
In this case, defacing the property is not childish. Childish is spray painting a butt or "so-and-so is dumb." Spray painting "White Lives Matter" on a black-owned business is violence and possibly even classifiable as a hate crime. It is intended to wound. It is intended to denigrate. It is intended to cause fear in black people. It's wrong.
This is awful
By Stephanie

This is awful, clearly a hate crime. To my fellow white people posting or thinking things like "all lives matter" or agreeing that "white lives matter," please stop. Saying that black lives matter doesn't mean that your life doesn't. Stop centering yourselves in this conversation. This isn't about you. We already know that white lives matter, given the advantages we as white people have in this country, just by existing- employment, housing, inherited wealth, education, protection by police, etc. Black people have NEVER been afforded the same advantages white people have always had in this country. Black lives matter, and if you feel the need to argue with this statement, you're part of the problem. Black lives matter.
Very well said, Steph!

And to add, those who do insist that "all lives matter" and/or "white lives matter" need to bone up their reading on black/white relations in this country since, oh, heck, since our beginning to the present day.

Graffiti on the walls
By anon
Thu, 04/19/2018 - 9:09am
This is offensive as is most graffiti painted on the streets and subways of Boston. Lets see what happens if this person is identified. The courts in Boston don't take illegal guns, drug dealing or muggings seriously so if a person is charged he or she will probably mandated to take an art class at the Museum of Fine Arts.

Another fake story
By Neal Jr
Thu, 04/19/2018 - 9:23pm
As reported hours ago on turtleboy, this story is about as fake as can be, a google maps street image from July showed this has been on the wall for at least 8 months. And it’s in a hardly noticeable spot behind a fence. And there’s a fancy graffiti mural on the building next store, that probably would cost money, unless you were the victim of a “crime”. But instead of invstigating, and seeking out facts, all of you spent 74 comments contemplating white provelage. The racial-industrial complex is alive and well in this sad city...

The old "racism doesn't exist - people just make it up" nonsense.
Go back to your white hole, racism denier. Or, better yet, expend your efforts considering what people of color have to live through on a daily basis - including dealing with racist asses like you.

If you put the address into Google Maps and look at street view pictures from 2016 you can see the Graffiti predates the existence of Black Market ,and to me it looks like it just says "WHITE".
"lives matter" looks like it had been added.
Also, the Black Market Facebook page is gone.
