reminder that kkk and neo nazis exist in such an organized fashion that they are encouraged within their groups to not shave or look like a typical skinhead racist. they’re also encouraged to join local law enforcement and government agencies (as shown in this FBI report on white supremacist infiltration) and have even landed on FBI and CIA watchlists (but aren’t nearly as prosecuted or engaged with and treated as such a threat by the state and federal government as say black, muslim, jewish and latin@ folks). and this isn’t some 1950s shit neither this is happening today in your ‘post-racist’ america. non-white-lookin poc be on your toes out there, white folks is plottin.
In addition “According to the FBI, there are hundreds of white supremacists in the US army or in the veteran community. Some analysts even estimate the number is in the thousands. In America, 203 white supremacist “extremist cases” investigated by the Bureau from 2001 to 2008 involved veterans. The problem hasn’t gone away.”[**] - much the same way they hardly crack down on these white terrorists within their own agencies that they themselves know of because they carried the investigations the same is true for the military. Think about that before claim military pride because that’s what it represents, that’s who it protects.
