American Nazis: Confronting the Homegrown Threat
A recent Nazi march in Columbus, Ohio, highlights the city’s persistent struggle with white supremacy, despite its progressive image. The march, claimed by a St. Louis group but possibly connected to local rivals, underscores the entrenched nature of these ideologies within the community. This contrasts sharply with the city’s response to other protests, indicating a disparity in treatment based on race. Ultimately, condemnation alone is insufficient; concrete action is needed to address the issue and prevent future incidents. The city must move beyond performative gestures to create an environment genuinely hostile to such extremism.
