This is the Tagalog translation of the Africans Attack Girl Who Rejects Their Advances in France post.
Dito sa nakakagulat na videong ito, isang kabataang afrikano sa France, ang lumapit sa isang puting babae sa malaswang pamamaraan.
Umiling siya at sabi niya hindi, at sabay layo. Sa galit ng negro sinampal niya ang puting babae sa mukha. Isa pang negro ang lumapit at tinadyakan siya. Ang mga kaibigan niya ay lumapit para tulungan siyang tumayo at lumayo sila. Yong naunang negro, tinabig ang camera at sinabing sa isang masamang salitang french at sabay tawang lumayo.
Ang mga French ay nagkamali sa pagtanggap sa mga negrong ito na abusado at walang modo. Ano kaya sa palagay nila ang iniisip nila ng gawin nila ito?
Itong videong ito ay talagang ginalit ako!!!

This is the French translation of the Africans Attack Girl Who Rejects Their Advances in France post by super translator Natalie from France.
Dans cette vidéo, un jeune Africain fait des avances à une jeune « blanche ». Elle secoue la tête pour exprimer son refus et s'écarte de lui. Il réagit en la giflant violemment au visage. Un autre Africain cours vers elle et la pousse par terre. Puis ses amis l'aident à se remettre debout et s'en vont avec elle.
Puis le premier Africain gueule à la caméra « ça vraiment, c'est du lourd! » pendant qu'il rigole.
Les Français ont sérieusement merdé en important bon gré mal gré
tous ces Africains sans sélection.
Cette vidéo me fout la rage!

Afro-Francesi Picchiano una Ragazza Bianca

This is the Italian translation of the Africans Attack Girl Who Rejects Their Advances in France post by Paolo of Trieste.
Non me la dai? Allora ti picchio...è il senso di questa vergognosa scena.
Il luogo sembra essere una stazione di metrò : c'è una gang di colore e un paio di ragazze; una di queste viene fermata da un bullo che le fa delle avances piuttosto decise.
Lei vuole proseguire per la sua strada, non gliene frega niente di quel negro, scuote la testa e dice no...no...
Il nostro ingrifato 'eroe' non ci vede più e le appioppa un pesantissimo ceffone !! La povera ragazza barcolla ed un altro bullo le se avventa addosso e la prende a calci facendola cadere a terra.
Aiutata dall'amica, la povera ragazza si rialza e riprende la propria strada.
CHE SBALLO! Così il nostro 'eroe' si rivolge ridendo all'amico che riprende la scena, esternando in francese la propria soddisfazione per la prodezza compiuta...
Non c'è che da incazzarsi, e parecchio, a vedere dei filmati come questo !
Ci sarebbe molto da dire sulla situazione in Europa, sul bullismo, la violenza sulle donne, il degrado della civiltà, i rom, gli extra-comunitari, i mussulmani etc etc.
Nel caso specifico della Francia, i problemi sono ingigantiti da una notevole comunità di origine africana, incrementatasi in questi ultimi decenni grazie ad una sconsiderata politica di accoglimento indiscriminato.
Purtroppo, la qualità di tanti nuovi immigrati (tra cui clandestini, disperati, delinquenti) non è pari alle aspettative, ed abbiamo già capito che il problema non sarà di facile soluzione per le autorità francesi.

Franske afrikanere angriper jente

This is the Norwegian translation of the Africans Attack Girl Who Rejects Their Advances in France post.
I denne utrolige videoen, nærmer en ung afrikansk mann i Frankrike seg en ung, hvit jente på en seksuell måte. Hun rister på hodet for å antyde at hun ikke er interessert og prøver å komme seg bort fra ham. Han reagerer med å dra til henne hardt i ansiktet. En annen afrikansk mann går så opp til henne og sparker henne i bakken. Hennes venner hjalp henne opp på bena og gikk bort.
Den første afrikanske stiller seg så opp foran kameraet og sier noe lignende som dette "Man, det var fett!" på fransk, mens han lo.
Franskmennene har seriøst driti seg ut ved å importere idiotiske afrikanere som dette. Hva var det de holdt på med?
Denne videoen gjorde meg virkelig sint!

En este increíble video, un joven africano en Francia se acerca a una joven en tono sexual. Ella sacude su cabeza y trata de alejarse de él. Él reacciona cacheteándola muy fuerte en su rostro. Otro africano corre rápidamente hasta ella y le propina una patada que la deja en el suelo. Sus amigos la ayudan a levantar y luego se alejan.
El primer africano se enfoca con la cámara y dice “¡Caramba, eso fue salvaje!” en Francés mientras se ríe sin parar.
Los franceses realmente cometieron un error al dejar inmigrar africanos indeseables como este. ¿En qué rayos estaban pensando?

Africans Attack Girl Who Rejects Their Advances in France

In this amazing video, a young African man in France approaches a young White girl in a sexual manner. She shakes her head no and tries to get away from him. He reacts by slapping her very hard in the face. Another African then quickly runs up to her and kicks her to the ground. Her friends then help her to her feet and start to walk away.
The first African then mugs for the camera and says something along the lines of "Man, that's some heavy shit!" in French while laughing his head off.
The French have seriously fucked up by importing all these unselected Africans willy-nilly like this. What did they think they were doing?
This video really made me angry!
Criminals Chase Police from a Banlieu in France
I am looking for translators to translate this post into German. Email me if you are interested.
Good Lord, this is terrible. This is the great France of Hugo, Sartre, Renoir, Ophuls, Flaubert, Zola, Proust, Beckett, Genet, Gide, Camus, Godard, Truffaut, Picasso, Magritte and Cocteau? The France of the Paris cafe scene in the 1920's, with Hemmingway, Joyce, Pound, Lowell, Toklas, Stein, Barnes and the rest?
Now it's descended into sheer jungle savagery. France is turning into Africa.
They would have done better to import African-Americans. These are the worst of all possible Blacks, straight out of the primal backwards of the Dark Continent itself. To make matters worse, not only are they Black Africans, but they are Muslim Black Africans!
I can't imagine things are this bad even in US ghettos, terrible as they are. US ghettos are awful places, but I don't think there are no-go zones for cops. I've worked in these ghettos, and the police are everywhere, making arrests constantly. I've never heard of cops going to investigate a rape and being driven away by hostile residents out to protect the rapists.
In the video, cops go to a banlieu (housing project) in France to investigate a rape. They bring the rape victim with them, a young White woman.
When they come to the place where it happened, they find a squat with 10 young Black men living there. These are obviously the rapists and their friends. The leader of the gang of young men confronts the police and orders them away. Later, one of the young Blacks throws a tear gas canister at police, temporarily blinding them.
Finally, the cops decide to leave, getting no cooperation out of the residents. As they leave, the young Blacks dance African-style and throw rocks at the cops. Towards the end, a young Black confronts the cops with a baseball bat and advances on them while others dance like monkeys in the background. The bat-wielding thug only stops when the cop draws his gun. As the cops retreat to their cars, more stones are thrown at them by the thugs.
And anyone who pulls a baseball bat on a US cop is probably going down on charges to say the least. If I pick up a bat and advance towards a US cop, I'm guilty of a crime, no?I doubt if the cops are going to run away.
Nor do US Blacks, even in our worst ghettos, burn dozens of cars a night, and hundreds on bad nights. They scarcely burn cars at all, at least not as social protest.
These areas have essentially been ceded to a hostile foreign enemy. The Muslims and Blacks rule these places and don't let any government entities in.
In the video, the detectives go with the rape victim to the site of the crime. It's a squat where 10 young Black Muslim men are living. These Blacks are obviously the ones who raped the woman. They probably felt she deserved it for some reason, maybe because she was fair game, maybe because she was dressed like a slut.
The victim can be seen throughout the movie dressed in a red coat. At one point, a detective says, "We are here for her." She's a Caucasian woman in her 20's.
I watched this video with a dropped jaw. The French have created a monster. God help them.

Multiculturalism and Socialism: The Odd Couple
The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.
Updated September 2:
In the comments section, Scott, who is a White nationalist, discusses the disconnect between multiculturalism and socialism or social democracy.
Yes, we do allow White nationalists, even anti-Black ones, on the board, but every time a cute Black woman shows up on the board, we force them to kiss her. On the lips. On penalty of banning. None have left yet. Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Scott says:
Scott is right. Does the UK count as a multicultural country? If it does, it's growing a nasty White racist - fascist party of reaction to the diversity in the BNP.
Does Venezuela count? If Venezuela counts, I would say that Venezuela is a country riven with violence, tension and class war. There seems to be a racial angle, but in the upper class and upper middle class, it's really more about class than race. Nevertheless, it's clear that the oligarchy is much more light-skinned than the Underclass that supports Chavez.
Is multicultural Russia a social democracy? Maybe so, but it's riven from one end to the other with horrible racism.
Do Communist states like China and Cuba count? Maybe so, but those countries, probably due to the class warfare (in the case of both) and combined class/race warfare (in the case of Cuba) inherent in their societies, needed full, bloody Communist revolutions to institute any kind of socialist system.
Vietnam and Laos are multiethnic countries, but the Lao and the Vietnamese are the overwhelming majority. They also needed Communist revolutions to put in socialism.
I would say Sri Lanka. They have a pretty good social democracy there, and the ruling party is a member of the Socialist International. There's also a horribly vicious civil war going on, because that "socialist" party in power has never done much to help the Tamils.
Socialist parties in Chile, Argentina and Brazil haven't been able to get much done. In Chile and Argentina the problem is probably much more class than race. In Brazil, surely it's both race and class together. The socialists in Ecuador and Bolivia are trying to get something done, but Bolivia is riven with a horrific class/race division and it's almost civil war there.
I don't think that the socialist parties in Nicaragua and Guatemala will be able to get much done. Both nations had Leftist revolutions for decades, in the case of Nicaragua followed by a revolutionary government and more civil war, this time counterrevolutionary. Nicaragua was always more about class than race, but the oligarchy is light-skinned. In Guatemala, the situation is very much about both class and race riven together.
One thing becomes clear in this analysis.
The only way to peacefully vote in a socialist or social democratic government is to have a relatively homogeneous society. Typically a White society. As diversity and multiculturalism increases, even in White European countries, White racist/fascist groups rise up for various reasons and racial violence against minorities becomes common.
In multiethnic or deeply class-riven nations (Note how often the two are conflated!), socialism, social democracy or movements towards them is typically accompanied by either outright civil war, de facto civil war, tremendous open class war in terms of coups, attempted coups, lockout strikes, riots, imperialist interventions, class-based separatist movements, and much violence.
In other places, socialist governments are not able to get much done due to deep class and race-based conflicts and the threat of violence from dominant ethnics and/or classes.
In other places, long civil wars eventually installed Communist regimes in multiethnic countries and ethnic conflict subsided or stopped. Short of installing a Communist regime, multiethnic countries moving towards socialism are likely to experience a lot of internal violence and chaos.
If diversity is so bad for socialism, why do socialists in the West keep pushing it?
Good question.

Look at the countries that have the highest index of egalitarianism in the West: Iceland, Norway, Sweden (used to have more). The inhabitants are all pretty closely related to one another. I'll spot my sibling $100 cash.I respond:
It's basically the same thing but in a less dramatic way in such countries, but when other nationalities come in because of the aforementioned ethnostates' welfare system, as seek to take advantage of it, the whole system gets messed up. Find me an ethnically diverse country with a social democracy.

No Hate Crimes?
On the more mainstream and moderate White nationalist sites such as American Renaissance, the general tone of the pieces and in the comments is that there really is no such thing as White racism in the US anymore.
There are only a pitiful few incidents here and there, and it's all a big joke.
Hanging nooses is just a silly gag. Blacks and Hispanics need to quit being so hypersensitive about everything, and just let it go. Racism, when it refers to Whites, is always in quotes, implying it does not even exist, while other races are constantly accused of racism against Whites that is actually real. So it is as if the only real racism problem in the US is against White people.
The usual response is to say that these people are just a bunch of lying racists.
I will, however, say that there is a bit of truth to these accusations. Racism by Whites is dramatically exaggerated in the US, and every little comment or scribble is inspected for the horrible crime. Hispanics and Blacks in particular are far too wont to yell racism over every little thing, in many cases over mostly or completely innocent comments.
Entire subjects that do not necessarily have anything to do with racism are walled off and forbidden from discussion. On the other hand, non-Whites get to bash away at Whites for all of their racial crimes, past, present and future, while Whites are supposed to sit there and take it, groveling, like guilty supplicants. There is a presumption that non-Whites are incapable of racism and that Whites are automatically filled with it.
This is all nonsense, but it's a product of the Left in the US and the West that started this crazy conversation about 40 years ago. They've been quite successful selling this silliness to the public.
On the other hand, there surely is racism in the US. I don't think much of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), but they do have an interesting list of racist incidents in the US for the first three months of 2008. It seems pretty incredible the amount of this stuff that is going on, or is it?
One thing for sure - you rarely hear about it in your own town. Considering what a multicultural society we are, it is amazing that there is not much more of this going on in every reasonable-sized city just about every day. Right? Or am I wrong?
You will note that simple name-calling is apparently not listed, and is not a crime. Some of the stuff on that list seem a bit of a reach. In the course of a fight, or altercation, racial slurs are uttered. Now we have a hate crime.
Unfortunately, in a free society people get to call each other names, and in the course of fights, people will just call each other any slur that comes to their minds that seems to apply to the person they are fighting.
For instance, in the past ten years, I did call a Black man a nigger once. On the other hand, I'm going to say I'm not a racist.
He ran a recycling place and I used to take my bottles up there. He got mad at me when I did not separate my browns from my greens from my clears. I forget what happened, but a shouting match ensued. This is not normal behavior for me - I'm a quiet guy and I don't get into it much with people. In the course of this argument, I called him a nigger. Not once, but a few times.
Not because I'm a raving racist; I'll say I'm not, and you're welcome to disagree. More because at that moment I hated him, he was Black, and fishing in my bag of tricks for insults, it seemed appropriate. If he was fat or ugly, I would have insulted him on those bases.
I've since talked to a Black woman I know, and she was quite upset that I did that. I'm going to think about whether I want to do that again.
I wonder how often this sort of thing goes on? In the course of fights and shouting matches, angry people will say stuff they would not ordinarily say. Not out of racism or bigotry, but because in a fight, you use any ammo you've got.
Most of the other stuff on that list is pretty clear-cut and straightforward. I was shocked by the amount of anti-Semitism in the US. I don't like the ADL, and I think they go nuts about anti-Semitism, but you can see quite a few cases on that list of anti-Semitic graffiti on Jewish institutions, vandalism of Jewish graveyards, actual assaults on and threats against Jews, etc.
I was appalled by that, and surprised. For the first time in a while, I will throw a shout out to the Jewish groups who are publicizing this, while deploring their efforts to code as anti-Semitic a wide variety of comments and writings that are generally not. The ADL types go overboard, but there's clearly an anti-Semitism problem. Things are complicated.
On the White Nationalist boards, there is a lot of talk about how most assaults by Blacks against Whites are accompanied by racial slurs. Typically, the police deny that a hate crime occurred. The White Nationalists have an interesting point, and if White assaults combined with slurs get hate crime attachments, it's about time to start slamming a lot of Blacks with the same stuff.
I guess the assumption is that the Black criminal victimized the person just to be a criminal, and that racism was secondary, and therefore the attack was not primarily bias-motivated, instead it was primarily dirty criminal-motivated. Perhaps that is so, but fair is fair, and there appears to be a double-standard here.
There were 104 incidents over a 93 day period in the first three months of 2008. That's a little over one a day, and most all of these incidents are pretty serious.
A 2005 report by the US government found that there were 191,000 hate crimes in that year. That's 600 a day! That's 24 an hour. One every two or three minutes. Does that seem credible?
I wonder what standard they were using to judge what is a hate crime? The same as in the SPLC list? If so, there's still a big problem here in the US. But if they are using everything down to my little argument above, the report is pretty meaningless. Someone might want to get ahold of that report and see what's really in it.
White nationalists say that in a multicultural society, these sort of incidents are to be expected and are in fact normal. Why? Because a certain amount of racial hostility is to be expected in such a society. Are they right? If not, why not?
The appropriate response to this issue is the Middle Way, as the Taoists say. Not to overemphasize racism and exaggerate it out of all sanity, and not, on the other hand, to say that it barely even exists anymore.
For the record, SPLC does list several anti-immigrant groups that do not strike me as racist in any way, shape or form. SPLC says:
It seems like any group screaming about the illegal alien invasion of the US is going to get tagged with a racist label. That's where SPLC is so wrong and does a lot of damage.

Auburn, California (Legal Developments)This strikes me as an excess. There was an altercation. A fight? A verbal fight, or a physical one? In the course of the altercation, some slurs got uttered. This is a crime? I'd like to know some more facts about this case.
Published on 03-06-2008
"Lance Clements, 37, was arrested on hate crime related charges after he allegedly made racial slurs against a black student and a Hispanic student during an altercation."

These groups generally attack immigrants as individuals, rather than merely disagreeing with immigration policy. Some have close ties to white supremacist ideas, groups and individuals.That statement is just wrong about several of those groups. The groups listed are:
- American Border Patrol
- California Coalition for Immigration Reform
- Save Our State
- American Patrol/Voice of Citizens Together
- Rescue Without Borders
- Federation for American Immigration Reform
- Social Contract Press
- Emigration Party of Nevada
- Border Guardians
- American Immigration Control Foundation/Americans for Immigration Control
It seems like any group screaming about the illegal alien invasion of the US is going to get tagged with a racist label. That's where SPLC is so wrong and does a lot of damage.
