Minnesota town approves whites only church: Says not racist

Postby San Lumen » Tue Dec 22, 2020 1:26 pm

The Minnesota town of Murdock in Swift County has approved a whites only church and the town council says they would have faced a protracted legal battle if they did not. Its a rural county in the central part of the state.

The church will be used a by a group called the Astaru Folk Assembly. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes Asatru Folk Assembly as a “neo-Volkisch hate group” that couches “their bigotry in baseless claims of bloodlines grounding the superiority of one’s white identity.”

The group, based in Brownsville, California, says teachings and membership are for those of strictly European bloodlines.

The church was looking for a new church in the eastern North Dakota region when they came across Murdock. It’s unknown how many members they have worldwide or how many people will attend the new church.

Many residents call them a white supremacist or white separatist group, but church members deny it.


There has been extensive backlash against the decision by town residents and the county. Racism has no place anywhere and while churches are different from a store or public park it doesn't make it ok. It isn't the 1800s anymore this type of thing is not acceptable.

What's your take on this NSG?

Strictly European bloodlines? How does one prove that though and does that include all European descended people or are certain ethnicities "not pure European enough?"

When California attempts to repeal their civil rights legislation, universities designate black-only zones and allow applicants based on their ethnicity rather than their merit, and when states give Coronavirus vaccines to people of color first over the elderly because they’re too white (while claiming this entire year that the lockdowns and economic ruin is in the name of saving the elderly), you are going to get your whites-only churches and fountains and seating areas in restaurants.

This is the path you have chosen.

mind you, the city council didnt want to have a legal battle that would be add more expenses to a already likely slim budget.

so lumen, should a small town in bumfuck nowhere have bankrupted itself so coastal liberals shouldnt have to strain themselves clutching their pearls?

Hahaha, it's all part of our evil Marxist plan! Now that we have taken the government through radical leftist Joe Biden, all white people (including myself) will be exiled to Bulgaria! Then, there will be nothing standing between United States and Cultural Marxist SJW buzzword buzzword recycled Nazi propaganda!

The church is some racist bullshit. I would never want to join. But the 1st amendment still protects their freedom of religion, as long as it is a non-profit church.

I mean, the real issue at hand is that white supremacists often do things like this, establishing themselves in small towns that can't really defend their interests from the carpetbagging neo-Nazis without breaking federal law.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Oh wait, they're serious? Let me laugh even harder.

In all seriousness, I don't think these people realize that there's no such thing as a "pure European" anymore. Racial purity in any time period, but especially the modern one, is mostly a fantasy.

Would any black people want to join the church? Churches should be able to whatever rules for who their priests are, who they can as part of the religion etcetera theyw want as these things only affect the congregation who believe in the faith anyway.
