White supremacists are calling for a “peaceful separation” from the United States — and a ban on people of color moving to New England

A neo-Nazi front group is demanding that New England secede and establish itself as a white nation. Decrying “enemies” that are “all around us” and vowing to defend racial “integrity,” the People’s Initiative of New England published a revolutionary manifesto on July 27 advocating “separation from the United States of America.”

    Just saying there are a lot of other regions in the US that would be more fertile ground for this type of endeavor.

      I’d guess they chose the area because of the relatively low population. They figure they can outnumber the locals like the libertarians have been trying to do in New Hampshire.

      Well if they were rational, they wouldn’t be racists, but there is certainly a fixation on New England among certain groups. It’s not very common but this isn’t the first time this idea has been floated, like the inbred cousin of the idea of the Great White North, which means “snowy” to some and something else to a certain sort.
