As we mentioned a few days ago, we are following the goings on surrounding the White Pride World Wide March that has been call by the Illinois National Socialist Front for Chicago on March 21. That’s a date with some significance because fifty years ago that day apartheid South Africa gave us the Sharpeville Massacre. That was when 69 people were shot by South African Police as they were protesting the racist policies imposed by Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd’s administration. The fight against apartheid went on for several decades until the entire South African apartheid government was brought down in the early 90s. March 21 is now the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and when you are a Nazi that will rub you the wrong way, hence the effort to reclaim the day for themselves. Antifa won’t have any of it, so they are going to come out an reinforce the meaning of the day. We wish them well.
Southside Chicago Anti-Racist Action
On March 21st, 2010 the Illinois National Socialist Front is planning to march in Chicago for what they call “White Pride World Wide”. South Side Anti-Racist Action is making plans to confront the march to let them know that they are not welcome in our city.
March 21st is recognized as International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination because of the massacre of demonstrators demanding an end to apartheid in Sharpesville, South Africa in 1960. However in 2000, neo-nazi and white nationalist organizations came together to attempt to reclaim March 21st as “White Pride World Wide” day against “multi-racial supremacy”.
The Illinois National Socialist Front is a neo-nazi organization primarily based in Peoria and the suburbs of Chicago, some of which are former members of Bill White’s American National Socialist Workers Party. Over the past year they have organized a variety of events including nazi barbeque recruiting events, a speaking event celebrating Hitler’s birthday, a rally against the opening of Holocaust museum in Skokie, a Belleville protest of “black-on-white hate crimes”, and more. They have shown efforts in working with other hate groups such as the National Socialist Movement and are attempting to gather regional support for the White Pride march in Chicago by posting information to websites such as Stormfront and Vanguard News Network.
Besides the activity of neo-nazi hate groups, fascism is still alive in many forms across the US from attacks on immigrant communities to homophobic hate crimes. Even in Chicago, racist graffiti has been seen very recently – an indication that even in Obama’s America, racism is far from being over with. The INSF’s intention to march in Chicago shows that they are growing bolder and aren’t go away unless we take a stand.
South Side Chicago Anti-Racist Action is calling out for other groups inside and outside of Chicago to stand with us against fascism. Join us to confront the National Socialist Front’s march on March 21st!
