'White Lives Matter' Protesters Urged to Wear Face Masks for Anonymity


(Newsweek) Advertisements for a "White Lives Matter" rally on April 11 urge demonstrators to wear face masks "for anonymity," rather than protection from the coronavirus.

The "peaceful march" across "all major city centers" will take place at 1 p.m. on Sunday, according to posters advertising the march, Valley News Live reported. Cities across the U.S., including New York City, Chicago, Fargo and Fort Worth, are anticipating the march as well as counter-protests.

White Lives Matter is a "racist response to the civil rights movement Black Lives Matter" and "a neo-Nazi group that is growing into a movement as more and more white supremacist groups take up its slogans and tactics," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. .........(more)

The KKK flyers were found on Easter Sunday, KTLA reports. Huntington Beach Police were tipped off about the racist propaganda that read “White lives do matter,” along with an image of a hooded figure and a burning cross, as captured by the Orange County Register.

Lots of second generation, inherited wealth there, and people mortgaged to the hilt. Happy to hire nannies and landscapers and housekeepers who are brown, but they are horrifically racist out there. The Foxification of all those non-political people who were home doomscrolling because they were out of work has spread faster than the virus.

They're so proud of their stance that they reveal themselves theough their other clothes and shoes and things. They can't stand not being center of attention. FBI watch list.

up for Covid, but anonymity...pathetic. Don't they have the strength of character to stand up for their beliefs. Suggesting hiding behind a mask must mean they know they are doing wrong

Also...wow...that White Lives Matter flyer in the tweet above is straight out of Nazi Germany.

When I like to show how special I am for being white, I cover my face!

LMAO

We're so superior we hide!
