In a suburban Cincinnati office park, white nationalists have found their lawyer and an ally

When a dozen neo-Nazis and white supremacists from the deadly march in Charlottesville were charged with crimes last year, they needed to find a lawyer.

Their search for one took them to Deerfield Township in suburban Cincinnati, where they found James E. Kolenich, a civil rights attorney who said he has only one thing in common with his new clients. He believes white people must save and preserve their civilization from Jews, immigrants and minorities.

"My willingness to get involved is to oppose Jewish influence in society," he told The Enquirer. "It's plain that white people are the chosen people in the New Testament. It's the job that we were given, to spread Christianity around the world. That doesn't involve hatred of other races, not even of ethnic Jews. But it does involve opposing their un-Christian influence in society."

Kolenich is a new name in the pantheon of the "alt-right," a loose affiliation of racists, white nationalists and anti-Semites. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups and their leaders, did not have him listed.

Where are there 'white people' in the New testament?

Do YOU see any?


Oh wait, wrong question. Aren't the people in the New Testament Jews, and Egyptians, and, and Arabs, and... oh, oh the Italians... right..must be the Italians that are the White People...

Maybe the Jews are the White people.. But, but wait.. we should oppose the Jews..... but the 'ethnic 'ones are OK.
??? What are 'ethnic Jews."
As a mater of fact, what are "ethnic' White People?
I mean wasn't Jesus a Jew? Oh wait, if the Italians are the White People, then the White People killed the Jew. Soooo... that proves that "It's plain that white people are the chosen people in the New Testament."

Ah ha !! Got it....

PS. I used to live in Cincinnati so don't question my logic.

I suppose, if one wants to stretch it, the Roman adoption of Christianity sort of makes it a European/white religion. That certainly cannot be said to have been Jesus' intention though. I get the feeling Jesus was pretty "color-blind" when it came to it.

Just shaking my head as usual at the logic of some of these deplorables. Wanting to stop the Jewish influence on society by championing a religion based on a Jewish Rabbi just doesn't seem to ring in as the cognitive dissonance it should for them.

I lived in Cincy for 12 years. Racism is veiled, but definitely there. I remember reports, seemed like every night, of a cop shooting a black person. We used to call it DWB.....driving while black. Lots of riots.

Other former residents, remember Marge Schott?

We always considered Cincinnati more "Northern Kentucky" than "Southern Ohio"
