Racist Flyers Found in Cleveland after Nazi Rally

CLEVELAND, OH — Racist flyers promoting white supremacism have sparked outrage here following a Nazi march in Columbus last month, reported The Root, adding the flyers underscore growing concerns about racial intolerance and hate-driven propaganda in the region.

The flyers included slogans such as “Embrace your race,” accompanied by a picture of a white family, and “White Unity, Love Your People,” with the caption, “Every other race looks out for each other, Isn’t it time white people start to do the same?”

The Root noted flyers bore the name and logo of Will2Rise, an organization listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a “white nationalist hate group” advocating for the creation of a white ethnostate.

Local residents have expressed disgust and frustration over the incident, The Root said, adding Councilman Kerry McCormack has been inundated with emails and calls from concerned citizens.

McCormack, who described the flyers as “vile, disgusting and pathetic” and urged the community to remove them, charged, “This kind of rhetoric is divisive and harmful. It has no place in our neighborhoods.”

The discovery of the flyers follows a series of racially charged incidents in Ohio, The Root said, noting a Nazi rally was held in Columbus, drawing widespread condemnation.

And a racist homecoming proposal by two boys in Northeast Ohio recently went viral, while an Ohio sheriff faced backlash for advising residents to document the addresses of homes displaying campaign signs for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Will2Rise, the group associated with the flyers, produces materials that perpetuate ideologies that promote racial division and exclusion, fueling racial tensions across the country.

Residents of Cleveland have expressed a strong stance against these actions, emphasizing the need for unity and inclusivity, said The Root, quoting one resident saying, “This is not who we are as a community. We must come together to combat hate and discrimination.”

    Please point me to a Vanguard article about “FEMA ‘horrified’ after confirming workers directed to ‘avoid homes’ with Trump signs in hurricane-ravaged Florida community”

          1. U, Vanguard, W, X, Y and Z all lean so far to the left it’s sometimes hilarious. I thought we had nothing in common, but apparently there is shared respect for the entertainment found in the comedy of biased media.

          2. I wasn’t aware we needed to both sides racist flyers at a Nazi rally or that the counterbalance was Trump. Learn something every day on here.

          3. That’s the point, there isn’t much balance on the Vanguard unless it’s provided by commenters.

          4. There’s not much balance anywhere anymore. That was my point. It’s telling that Alan could actually only name the Davis Vanguard as leaning to the left. Single letters don’t count.

          5. There is also something called the First Amendment. That Amendment just doesn’t apply to some blogs and publications.

  2. As a pro-Skokie-decision Jew, I welcome the Nazi marches and rhetoric. Free speech. And . . . these stupidest of the weirdos pop their heads up so we know who they are. The ones that concern me are the ones smart enough not to make themselves known.
