NATIONALISM

Nationalism was the most successful political force of the 19th century. It emerged from two main sources: the Romantic exaltation of "feeling" and "identity" and the Liberal requirement that a legitimate state be based on a "people" rather than, for example, a dynasty, God, or imperial domination. Both Romantic "identity nationalism" and Liberal "civic nationalism" were essentially middle class movements. - Modern History Sourcebook

Philadelphia Leif Ericson Day Celebration: a Retrospective

The Leif Ericson Day celebration that takes place every October is completely and totally harmless. It's a family oriented day of celebrating the achievements of our founding fathers.
The fact that this day is recognized exclusively by whites presumably makes this a racist event. That is the logic behind the protest of the Leif Ericson Day celebration by the one peoples project.
Any white assembly is considered racist, even if it's friends, families and their children, listening to live Celtic music, barbecuing in the park and sharing a common bond. With the suppression of white pride and constant demonization of white culture, I really shouldn't be surprised.

Do you think you would find the ANTIFA, one peoples project or any other "anti-racist" group, protesting any event culturally relevant to any other race?


I personally attended one of these events and found their presence to be shocking to say the least, they stood in front of the statue and tried to disrupt our time spent there. After their actions did nothing to deter our planned event, later they threw red paint all over the Thorfinn Karlsefni (Scandinavian explorer) Statue in frustration. They vandalized a piece of art, in "protest" of white achievement, culture and pride.
All in the name of "anti-racism".
Check out some pictures and a more in depth story on the vandals here,

This is a video posted by the one peoples project and the Philadelphia ANTIFA. They try their best to make themselves seem triumphant, but They stopped nothing and they never will, this year's celebration just hasn't taken place yet.
