Counter-protestor hilariously trolls Shelbyville white supremacists w- offer of free genetic testing

According to the HuffPost, police decked out in riot gear also attended the rally, keeping the two warring factions on opposite sides of the street where the two groups shouted at each other on the cloudy afternoon.

The report notes that the white nationalists raised their arms in Nazi salutes while chanting, “blood and soil’ and white lives matter.”

The black-clad neo-Nazi’s also brandished shields and flags at the counter-protestors who were kept on the other side of the street, chanting right back at them.

In video uploaded to Twitter by the HuffPost’s Christopher Mathias, the nationalists receive an offer from a counter-protestor using a sound system.


“Hey, I’d like to make an offer to you guys,” the unidentified man can be heard in the video. “Free genetic testing, for every one of you. I know you aren’t used to talking about it on your Facebook forum, but you can have free genetic testing and it will be great.”

were getting DNA testing done to ensure their whiteness...However, for many, IT BACKFIRED BADLY, as it exposed that that indeed had Black and Jewish ancestry instead...lol!..

Sociologists at UCLA and the Data and Society Research Institute examined 12 million posts on a white nationalist website, Stormfront, posted by more than 300,000 users. Within those, researchers found 70 discussion threads containing 153 users who posted their test results from sites like Ancestry.com and 23andMe, with 3,000 individual posts in all, STAT News reported.The majority who found that their ancestry wasn’t “100 percent white European” either rejected or disputed the findings. Some even claimed to know their own background better than any test could.

It reminds me of jihadists. Also, their beards are mostly unkempt, which may be just an extension of their overall lack of hygiene. I usually find tidy facial hair on men attractive, but these guys look messy and kind of smelly. Wonder if the beards are some sort of unconscious display of manhood?

beards these days. If the white supremacists have unkempt beards, it seems fitting.

Jihadists have unkempt beards, too.

Maybe unkempt beards are just an attraction for men who hate. It does not have to matter who they hate, just as long as they hate.

I've also noticed a lot of bearded men at anti-choice rallies. Of course, that could be cross-over from the supremist crowd.

He is wearing his hair a little fuller, too. He looks like a Viking - a clean Viking.
