Racist Flyers Surface in North Portland

Posted by Sarah Mirk on Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 11:43 AM

Among the concert flyers and yard sale signs on North Portland light poles, a disturbing advertisement recently appeared: posters for Northwest Front, a group "seeking a white homeland" in the Pacific Northwest.

The only photo I have of the posters is from local artist Sam Gould, who snapped a picture of one after making his own alterations.

Though Gould says the poster directing Portlanders to the Northwest Front website does not use "overtly racist" language, the veiled intent of the sign is partly what prompted Gould to deface it. "Even if it's childish to write on them, I was pissed off. It's my neighborhood. I didn't want them to think they should spread propaganda here," says Gould, who spotted signs all over the Boise neighborhood while walking with his small son two weeks ago. "I felt like tearing them down, but they could just put them back up again. That wouldn't have revealed what was happening in the neighborhood."

The North Portland flyers are the latest in a series of recent racist flyerings. Last spring hate group the National Alliance posted stickers all over Southeast. Over the summer, a one-man white supremacist sticker campaign in Northwest Portland led to a dust-up between that man and anonymous anti-racist group Rose City Antifa.

And now the handful of scumbags are getting far more attention than they would have otherwise.

Gould: put CORPORATE BULLSHIT on all the other signs on that pole.

D,

I think giving the scumbags attention is a good idea. It's always tricky deciding whether to write about racist actions because I do not want to bring positive publicity to hate groups, but it is very important to keep tabs on what these groups are doing in Portland. It would be dangerous to ignore them.

Interesting....if this was a flyer leading to a pro-jewish or other ethnic group no one would be offended. Personally, if this was in my neighborhood I would be offended by the "bullshit" written by the so-called artist. Especially if we are worried about what are children are reading and/or being exposed to is a concern. If he (the “artist” was that offended he could have simply removed the posting. I think people in this city have too much time on their hands.....being as this area is known for having one of the highest unemployment rates I can't say that I am surprised. We seem to forget that in this country people are still entitled to their opinions regardless if the opinions of others are shared or agreed upon. Just because they are not your values does not mean you can stop others from speaking their minds. If you are not interested in the sign that's ok, but you do not need to force your opinions on others by adding your rude remarks. Furthermore, the posting could have been worse with a symbol if that is what this group was send an overall racist message....the fact remains that like it or not there will always be "racists" in what you like to call YOUR neighborhood and just as it is your right to post your signs it is their right to post flyers to their website.

Ok, let me see if I have this right: When a black family moves into an all White area, there is no such thing as "MY neighborhood" on the part of the resident Whites. At the same time, when a so called 'hate group' puts a flier up in an area where one bitter man opposes it, all of the sudden it's "his neighborhood." Nice........

Dear White American,

Does it seem as if society just isn't working anymore?

Most people agree that schools have quit providing students a good education. Why are standards being lowered ... and lowered again? People are victimized in their own homes by violent criminals. Why aren't the criminals locked up? And who trusts our politicians, our media, or leadership of the companies we work for? Why are our jobs being outsourced to foreign countries? Why are our politicians such complete and utter fools and traitors who sell us out at the drop of a hat?

Maybe you've been thinking that there has to be a better way. Maybe you, like us, want to be part of the answer to society's problems. You can be!

A few years ago, I was a nice "tolerant" person, like "D." "s.mirk," and Sam Gould. Then I grew tired of hearing other "tolerant" people hurl insults at those who said anything pro-White, and decided to look for myself and see who these alleged "Witch burners," "cross burners," and "Nazis" were. I was shocked to find they weren't the villains I'd been told they were. Now when I see or hear people screaming "racist," I just shake my head and think they probably don't engage in a great deal of critical thinking before embarking on their smear campaigns.

If Sarah has a problem with the view of the NF she should challenge them to a debate on the merits of both their views. I am sure Portland has a public access channel or maybe one of the local TV or radio stations would like to step up to the plate and take it on. Neither is likely to happen. People like the so called artist and Sarah are great at spouting their own form of racism but will never actually debate the other side in an open forum. They are all too aware they would look like fools since their views are not based on any factual opinion but simple minded emotion.

I always get a chuckle out of incidents like this. Portland multicultist attitude: "Keep Portland Weird... but not THAT weird. That's *too* weird. Not kosher. No no no"

Gould is a racist Jew. Clearly he hates white people because he would rather shut them up than let them have a voice. Jews like Gould don't seem to like us white people actually expressing our GOD given rights of FREE SPEECH. We're not supposed to have our own culture or our own heritage. It's ok for blacks to march down the street shouting Black Pride and Kill Whitey. But when any white says, White Pride, support your race. They're shouted down, arrested, beaten and even killed, all for being evil racists. It's time for whites to wake up and understand the evil being done against us. Save your people.

You guys are morons. We're actually standing up for our race, and our country. We're being out-bread, and are being overrun by illegals who none one is willing to stop. We stand for a White America.

Liberals LOVE freedom of speech, except when it's something they don't want to hear.

We are growing in power everyday, especially with Obama screw-ups and Madoff banking scandals. Nothing can stop a massive White Awakening in America! White Nationalism recruitment is way up in wake of it. We see our country slowing slipping into the abyss, and we are the only ones who are willing to stop it. Join us in preserving a White America for our children! Go VNN

"There is no middle ground in the future. Their middle class cushy life is being outsourced to China and India and their children will either be dissolved into the globalist jewish life, or stay and survive as explicitly white. That is the choice that has to be driven into their minds, and it's an easy choice when they actually see it."

First of all, the only 'scumbags' here are Susan Mirk (smirk, oh how clever!) and Sam Gould... second of all, the unmitigated gall of slandering Whites who love their own culture as alleged racists, while giving a pass to the very real black and jewish racists which pollute the media, indeed, the entire Western, is insupportable... enjoy your privileged positions while they last, hypocrites.

People with deranged minds like Sam Gould think being proud of your own race is worse than being a pedophile.

Sam Gould (Gold) is obviously a frothing-at-the-mouth jew-zionist and lone gunman who is too lazy to remove the so-called "racist bullshit". Well Sam, your actions denote that you yourself are racist against non-jews. How many times have you seen Inglorious Basterds and fantasized until ejaculation about the thought of killing Nazis? You're pathetic one man band will wash away eventually and the Northwest Front will remain.

In brief, this is elite Jewry`s hate speech cycle:
1. Jew elite purports the cosmic-sized Big Lie of "racism".
2. Gentiles say, “Wait! Let us investigate that!”
3. Jewish elite protests, “What? You question Jewish suffering and eyewitness testimonies? You are engaging in hate speech.”
4. The Jewish controlled media then proceed to silence and defame the hapless Gentile who refuses to accept the blood libel.
5. If the Gentile persists, Jewish thugs like Rabbi Kahane`s JDL [Jewish Defense League] or Antifa send him mail-bombs or "Jewish lightning" burns down his house. These Jewish thugs are almost always protected by their co-tribalists in the judicial system and the useless police never bother to seriously investigate the crime.
6. If the White separatist persists, jewdiciaries bankrupt, deport, and imprison him.

I for one do not see the northwest front as a hate group .. i ask you all.. what is hateful about being proud of your heritage wanting to secure the future for your race and children ??
If you do find that as hateful ask you then. why is it not hateful or racist to have national holidays and festivals celebrating the pride and heritage for every race of people other than the white race?? please think very hard before answering these questions..
