Nazis go home! Nazis go home!
White civil rights are American rights.
What rights to whites not have?
We're attacked. We're attacked as the oppressors. This is my
house, we do not welcome you. We exile you. Go back to where you
came from. Spread this message to other people; we are not
standing for it. On the one year anniversary of the deadly unite
the right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, white
supremacists planned another demonstration, this time in
Washington D.C. Thousands of counter protesters drowned out
the voices of roughly 30 white supremacists who attended.
Joshua Turner, a former Neo-Nazi came with us to the rally to try
and talk to some of the white supremacists about their
beliefs. I was born into a really strict Christian family,
really religious. It was very irrational around the house. My
parents told me Jesus was going to be rapturing us at any time,
that the government was going to be kicking down our door at any
minute to make us take the mark of the beast. So, I was
constantly in an environment of fear. So, I rebelled a lot. Big
time, when I was a teenager. I started using drugs. Started
stealing and hanging out with the wrong people and ended up in
Juvie when I was twelve and continued going until I was 17.
When I was 18, I carjacked somebody. She was a jewish
woman. At the time I was hanging out with skinheads and I wanted
to impress these guys. I stole a gun from K-Mart. It was a pellet
gun that looked like a real 45mm and I went out in the parking
lot and I carjacked this woman and ended up in prison. In
prison is where I met real skinheads. I joined a gang
called Aryan Front. You know, they made me put in work to
prove my loyalty to the gang. I had to hurt people and I lived
like a crazy skinhead for five years on a maximum security
prison yard. When I paroled in 2007, I tried to be like, I
wanted to be this Nazi that was just clean, you know not doing
any drugs and I wanted to trade in my boots for suits, pretty
much. I wanted to be an intellectual that people could
respect. My drug issue got in the way. I was still using and I
ended up in rehab and I was just totally broken. I was at the end
of my rope and I didn't know If I even wanted to live
anymore. So I just decided that I needed to try something
different. So I started getting involved with skeptic groups and
they really changed my life because they gave me a toolset
to reflect on my beliefs to see if they were real or correct. To
see if they were in line with reality. So, I did that and I
realized that all of these things that I believed aren't
true. There's no reason to believe them. About three years
ago I started my own nonprofit, Saved by Reason. I go into jails
and prison and teach inmates critical thinking. You know, I
don't have a lot of money but I scraped it up and I came down
here because I thought it would be a good chance for me to talk
to some of these guys one-on-one, hopefully the
leaders. I don't know if I'd get that lucky, but I really
want to talk to these guys one-on-one like I do in jail and
just have a sincere, honest discussion where I respect what
he says and hopefully he returns that respect. No KKK, no fascist
USA! What's the problem? The whole damn system! What's the
solution? Revolution! So we're going to try to meet up and
catch up with the first group of the "Unite the Right"
that's coming on the Metro towards D.C. right now. We're
going to meet up with them. What do you anticipate is going to
happen? Well, we've heard so far that there's not too many
of them. So, I honestly think they're really going to get
drowned out and they're not going to have the big rally that
they were expecting to have. Do you think they have any idea how
big of a group there is coming to meet them? I really don't
think they have a clue. They're gonna find out soon
though. If they don't get it shut it down! Why do you
want to be here today? First for my people and second for my
country. The KKK is a terrorist organization. We're soldiers
right now. Soldiers for what? For peace and love. How did you
feel when you found out that this group was coming to D.C. on
the anniversary of the Charlottesville rally? There's
so much hate in one group and they do it on the same day.
Like, we want to mourn and providing more hate is not going
to help us mourn. I think that Trump has allowed for this type
of activity to be going on. I mean, to silently allow this all
to happen without condemning these radicals is just really
mind blowing. In the name of humanity, we refuse a fascist
America! So say civil rights? What kind of laws should we pass
to ensure that white have civil rights? We'll start of small.
We're not going to change anything in one day, obviously.
Today, we saw this as a success for our movement, for our
people, for our generation. Based on what you heard today
and compared to what you would hear when you were a skinhead,
where there any differences? Not very much. You know, I didn't
hear and "zeig heils." I didn' hear anything about white power,
which I would have heard at my rallies. But, they've publicly
admitted that they are trying to clean up their image so, I'm
sure that's why I didn't hear it. But other than those
words, the message is exactly the same. It's just about hate
and separation.
