White Nationalists Interrupt Psychiatrist's Talk At D.C. Bookstore about the Dying of Whiteness

Point of irony made by the White Nationalists.

White nationalists interrupted an author’s talk at Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, chanting until they were booed out of the room.

Jonathan Metzl, a psychiatrist and director of Vanderbilt’s Center for Medicine, Health and Society, had begun a discussion of his book “Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland” on Saturday when he was interrupted by a group of people led by one man with a megaphone.

“You would have the white working class trade their homeland for handouts,” the man said.

“But we, as nationalists and identitarians, can offer the workers of this country a homeland, their birthright, in addition to health care, good jobs and so forth.”

As they were booed by attendees, the white nationalists chanted “This land is our land” until they left the store.

The Twitter posts really make this article, and highlight the ironic absurdity of those interrupting the talk.

1. It's ironic they care so much about people staying white,

while not giving a shit about human extinction. I guess they mean as long as they’re alive.

2. This is the kind of crap the brownshirts in Germany pulled

in the late 1920's. The disruptions and minor violence started well before Kristalnacht.

3. yes and it is happening again in Europe too. Short appearances,gathering to promote hate in public

surprised they did not sing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me"

Hey haters I would have never known about the Antiracist bookfest and all the great speakers / video avlbl without ya showing up

yes the focus was on you chanting but not on a good fest or bookstore with great speakers like that as much so sad way to learn about it though

4. Trump said last week "This your land, not theirs" in a speech.

That's apparently the direct prompt for their chants at the bookstore.
