This is my nightmare.

I live in southern California, and work a professional-level job that requires a degree in social science. While there is racism around for sure, it's mostly of the indirect, institutional kind embedded in society, the type we do "trainings" to avoid (not that it isn't damaging to people of color, I'm just using this as a comparison on the probability of physical danger or property damage). So when I hear about "proud" white supremacists, for the most part I roll my eyes and think they're just about the most pathetic bunch of idiots out there.

This documentary scared the crap out of me - the fact that a group of violent extremists, some of them extremely well-spoken, even educated, and deliberately preying on the disenfranchised and offering a "reason" for all of their troubles adn a place to belong, is SCARY. All I could think, from the very first moment, was DON'T LET THEM IN, DON'T SELL THE LAND, TAKE IT OFF OF THE MARKET AND PUT A TENT ON IT, NIP IT IN THE BUD, DO ANY LEGAL THING YOU CAN TO MAKE SETTLING THERE UNATTRACTIVE!! Because once they had a foothold there, look what happened! Lunatics walking around with guns drawn, engaging in any and all behavior to provoke a rise (even discussing that poor family's murdered daughter).

If I had been the sole black man in town, I don't know that I would have stayed. I may have discovered exactly how cowardly I am (I prefer to think of it as "pragmatic," of course).

It just really drove home for me that these people ARE out there, committing violent acts, and must be monitored closely, even if for the most part all I see are some lame slack jaws in despicable slogan T-shirts more likely to inspire mockery than fear.
They're coming to get you, Barbara!
