Nevermind.
Just curious… can you scan and post the newspaper? I’m curious as to what it says.
Bakersfield: Gateway To Fresno!
We did a music video for a Bakersfield band called Burning Image back in the '80s. We needed a scene of nuclear devastation. Got got a panoramic shot of Oildale.
In my observation, California’s interior is… Different.
Isn’t humanity a wonderful thing. 
Indeed. I live in Camden and the “hot spot” is in Smackover.
Sorry, didn’t see this earlier. I do have a scanner and i thought about it but I didn’t know if that was allowed here. I guess I could email it to anyone who wants to see it.
No problem. If you have the time, I’m at dudley.garrett@gmail.com. Thanks!
But my significant other is a ‘white nationalist’
[/tongue in cheek]
His leader’s name is Hal Turner. They claim that they have no problem with any color person so long as that person is not a criminal. (Yeah right.) I’ve seen some of their writings and heard way too many of their discussions. It’s horrifying to know that they really, really believe this whole line of crap about the superiority of the white race. It seems as though their biggest bone to pick is actually with Jews. Because, you see, Jews are inherently evil. Apparently it says so in the Bible and also says that it’s God’s will that good Christians should destroy all the Jews. Other than God’s direct order in the Bible to get rid of the Jews, they are also particularly evil because they are the ones who brought those criminal Black people over from Africa in the first place.
[ ongue in cheek]
You may wonder why I can continue to date a person who believes this when I obviously don’t believe the same. Well, it just so happens that by birth I am a Jew :eek:
Translation: I think most of them are loons who just like to hear themselves talk.
One wonders who lets one of those guys put a straight razor to his face.
On the other hand, one could masquerade as a barber and get a razor on their throat. Of course, there could only be so many “accidents” before the gendarmes became suspicious.
WomanofScorn: I would have thought Conway or perhaps Benton, which I understand are “White Flight” areas. Is Camden a manufacturing area?
East Camden is like the hub for bombs. The whole thing out there is called “The Area” if you’re referring to plants.
The son of an acquaintance was an engineer making things there for the Army he couldn’t talk about in th 1980’s.
In the late 1960s I drove from Florida to California; the first evening of the trip, I stopped at a small diner in a small town in North Florida for a hamburger. The first thing I saw as I went through the door was a sign that declared “All profits from sales to Niggers will be donated to the KKK.” The very large and very tattooed guy at the cash register asked what I wanted; I’m sorry to say I bought a pack of cigarettes. While waiting for my change, I noticed some items for sale in the glass case by the cash register; I’ve forgotten most of them but I do remember a pamphlet with the title “Run Them Niggers North.” I’m a fairly run-of-the-mill white guy but I was afraid for my safety until I was well out of that town. That diner reeked of evil; it was easily the freakiest place I’ve ever seen.
Back in the mid-90s, I was the office manager for a grungy little factory, where 95% of the employees were on work-release or parole or probation (I was one of the other 5%). The plant Christmas party was held at a local tavern. (Great idea, right?) The owner of the tavern was the Grand something of the KKK, and kept telling me horribly offensive jokes all night.
I tried to be polite, because it was a work function, but I finally got fed up and told him that part of my family is black, and I took offense to his use of the “n” word. My giant (6’5”, 280 lb) boss was standing right behind me, and told the guy to shut up or we’d take our $5,000 worth of business elsewhere. That shut him up, and we found another place for the Christmas party the next year.
When I was a foreign student in Britain in the early 1990s, I stood next to a real life skinhead at the local W.H. Smith’s near Fulham Broadway tube station. I was looking for the latest issue of Loaded and he was kneeling on the floor reading some magazine. I didn’t notice him at first and almost bumped into him as I was perusing the shelves. He wore a leather jacket with a swastika badge pinned on the arm, bald head, camo pants, boots. The complete uniform in other words. I wonder if he would have bashed my head in if I did bump into him?
I stood there just staring at the guy for a few seconds because he was the first real life neo-Nazi I ever saw. There were a lot of people in the shop including blacks and Pakistanis but no one gave a shit. I was transfixed. Back home the only people who wore swastikas with pride are the Hindus and Buddhists.
That’s all I got. Not a Klan story but of similar ilk.
Hmmm, I think I read his diaries once. 
Thing is, the world has changed. Not so long ago, what those people say wouldn’t have been strange, would have been socially acceptable everywhere, and certainly wouldn’t have provoked anybody into wanting to burn the paper in the guy’s face. We’re on the right track and moving fast.
I’d also like to see the paper if you have the time. Email in profile.
Another request to see the paper in all it’s ahem glory.
Proof of racial superiority – 9 out of 10 sharks prefer white meat.
I have a perverse desire to see all of the aspects of humanity, especially the stupider ones. Please email me a scan of the paper.
Ok for those of you who want a scan, I’m letting you know I’m working on it. It’s not a full newspaper like a Sunday one or anything but it’s taking a while. Also, I’m having to scan it in sections. I’m breaking each full page into two sections, top and bottom. The type is small so you’ll have to zoom in once you get it. I don’t know how many pages of it will fit in one email, so we’ll see.
It will probably be a bit jumbled but bear with me, I don’ thave a huge scanner just the regular ol’ kind.
