| White Nationalists Stage Anti-refugee Protests in Tennessee |
In the article "White Nationalists Stage Anti-refugee Protests in Tennessee" they quote:
"We don't want the federal government to keep dumping all these refugees into middle Tennessee," said Brad Griffin, a member of a group known as the League of the South who has written about his desire to create a white "ethnostate."
"Saturday's rallies were organized by the Nationalist Front coalition, which embraces groups considered neo-Nazi or neo-Confederate by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups."
A "white" ethnostate? What the heck is that? Are they going to have sections for Scots, Irish, Spanish, etc., etc.,? White ethnostate...pfft! Ridiculous! They forget that their own ancestors were refugees who were also dumped. The whole idea of "white" is a term invented to describe Celtic people along with some other light skinned people, who have lost memory of their true heritage. The term "white" being used to describe some fictional race is as invalid a notion as calling all dark skinned people "black". Scots are not the same as Germans like Zulu are not the same as Hutu. In America everybody has been dumped into two big fictitious racial pots. One black and one white.

| Diachronic distribution of Celtic peoples:
Core Hallstatt territory, by the sixth century BC
Maximal Celtic expansion by 275 BC
Lusitanian area of Iberia where Celtic presence is uncertain
Areas where Celtic languages remain widely spoken today

They call them melting pots and even that is part of the problem. They melted the memory of people's history away from them. All the different Celtic ethnic groups got mixed together. Their own true cultural roots got stripped from them by the likes of the ancient Romans. Then the cultural genocide was further perfected by the colonial powers in the age of exploration.
It all leaves us with people like the protesters in the picture who only reach back for identity 150, maybe 200 years. If they looked back into their real racial and cultural past they would drop their signs and give up the Nazi and Confederate flags. They would find that they are trying to do to others the same thing that was done to their ancestors. They would find you can't have a "white ethnostate" because there is no such thing as a "white" race, or "white" cultural heritage. It's all an illusion spoon fed to people who have forgotten their past.
