We speak with long-time Freedom Fighter Daryle L. Jenkins of the One People’s Project about the recent incident over the July 4th weekend in Philadelphia where a large contingent of white supremacists showed up and attempted to intimidate people and cause drama. Jenkins who has been documenting far-right hate groups explained that the group who showed up were associated with the Patriotic Front and many of the people who showed up were from Texas. He further detailed that many of the folks who came to Philly were also in Charlottesville a few years back where they participated in a white supremacist gathering called Unite the Right. Folks may recall that rally where we saw dozens of racists walking around carrying tiki torches, chanting anti-Semitic and racist jargon. Several people were attacked and a young woman was killed when a white nationalist drove his car into a crowd.
Jenkins noted that this gathering in Philly was met with stiff resistance and the white nationalist were chased out of town. Police had to come protect them..
