On the night of thursday ,january 21, 2010, i witnessed something out of a horror movie. as me and friends enjoyed a night out,we witnessed a fully dresse nazi skin wrapped up in a confederate flag, walk into this place the "asti bar" on downtown S.C. and start doing nazi salutations to everybody, and it was obvious he had quite a good crowd enjoying his little demonstration. it took us a secondfully understand what was going on, until he went to one of the few black guys in the bar and started some shit, followed by getting his ass kicked out side of the bar, as we left , making sure this guy that kicked his ass,was all right and had been taking away by some of his friends ,power to this guy. fucking attitude. thats just a demonstration, that as the u.s. faces some financial disconfort , the first face of insatisfaction is gonna be some rascist white people showing their real face. watch out out there people of color, and anti-fascists , as it seems its gonna be time, for a fight!!!!!!!! destroy fascism!!!

Interesting you bring this incident up. I have recently had to seperate incidents in Oakland with nazi's. One was a stuttering holocaust denier, the other saw one of my patches and raised his shirt at me to show off his giant swastica. This is OAKLAND, if this kind of brazen attitude is popping up here that says something. Antifa and others who might be targets, watch each others backs. We can't let these scumbags think this is acceptable anywhere, let alone the Bay Area. oh yeah, I have also seen racist graffiti big enough to see from BART that I hadn't noticed before.
these white separatists hold brazen carwashes etc. bayareanationalanarchists.com/blog/
I like how Joe Webb, the Uncle Sam guy who afflicted the ANSWER marches for years as the resident provocateur has joined the BANA group. He appears in two videos of their recent anti-immigrant events. Now he can spend his energy delegitimizing them for a change.

There have always been nao-nazis that come into Santa Cruz, usually from Felton. If you live in SC I would be surprised if this is the 1st you have seen of this.They have never really gotten a strong hold but they tend to come out in force once or twice a year, at least for the past 12 years or so that Flashing their swastikas, passing out literature and what not. Keep fighting, they are small in numbers-let's keep it that way.
Never seen them, but i've been to their site before and they never seemed legitimate to me, but then again i don't know how large and noticeable they are and what kind of recruiting they do etc.
wouldn't want anyone to think "racism in santa cruz" only entails when bona fide skinheads come down from felton; although obviously, fuck nazis
We should be careful to not make broad generalizations about the people in Felton or other regions.
There are some great folks in Felton too!

I've lived in the valley for over a decade and have never seen or heard anyone in Felton say anything remotely nazi-like. I have seen a couple guys, one time, on the sidewalk in another town, dressed like skinheads. But given it was a summer weekend, wouldn't be willing to smear that town with this accusation either.
In my experience, the valley is much like Santa Cruz; there is a wide range of characters and attitudes.

Listen to yourselves - some guy expressed an opinion and you condone violence against him?
Im not saying hypocrisy is new to Santa Cruz activism, but really are you all this far gone?
You're not part of the solution. You're only part of the problem.

yes people is so far gone that they seem to ignore , the violence that is brought upon us everyday, violence from the military upon poor people and natives, torture, death sentences, discrimination, police state, all freedom taken away,laws made by the dominante class, serving the dominant class, enforced by violence upon us. our voices shut, our feelings and thoughts manipulated and repressed. yes depending of what side you are from ! is very clear where the violence is coming from!
