1.) Hidden hate in clothing: Decoding the symbols and the brands

Investigation discovers popular retailer selling clothing appealing to far right

Published: May 17, 2018 at 6:02 AM

MAITLAND, Fla. – If there is a singular, universal symbol of hate common to many Americans, it is the hooded uniforms of the Ku Klux Klan. According to the Anti-Defamation League, it was the second founding of the KKK, around 1915, that established the familiar look of flowing robes and pointed hoods. The uniform was chosen because it symbolized both intimidation and secrecy.

Fast-forward to 2017.
During last summer's Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, there were Klansmen along with members of other "alt-right," far-right, Southern nationalists and white nationalist groups, including Vanguard America and the League of the South.

"That was very deliberate, very much a call to action to look normal, to look kind of respectable," said Dr. Cynthia Miller-Idriss, a sociologist from American University.

"There is an effort to mainstream the aesthetics of the far right and to make it more appealing and more palatable to consumers."

Miller-Idriss is the author of "The Extreme Gone Mainstream: Commercialization of Far Right Youth Culture in Germany."

The book is a culmination of decades of research originally focused on the identity of German youth. But, about nine years ago, Miller-Idriss noticed a pattern: the clothing of the "alt-right" was moving away from intimidation and more toward inclusion.

2.) Politics
The New Uniform of White Supremacy

In Charlottesville, demonstrators turned out in polos and khakis. But their seemingly innocuous clothes spoke volumes.

August 17, 2017

To be sure: Markers of white supremacy such as Nazi and Confederate flags were on display. But on the march, it looked as if an army of JC Penney mannequins had become sentient. Scores of white men dressed in crisp polos and khakis, turning the uniform of business-casual blasé into a white-hot statement. "What we see in a lot of images coming out of Charlottesville are these very clean-cut-looking young men," says Susan Campbell Bartoletti, the author of They Called Themselves the K.K.K.: The Birth of an American Terrorist Group and Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow. "They're putting the face of a gentleman on values that are, in my opinion, anything but gentlemanly."

Members of neo-Nazi groups, flaunting swastikas and other hate symbols and shouting antisemitic slogans, marched near Disney Springs and at a park in Altamonte Springs over Labor Day weekend, drawing widespread condemnation.

Meanwhile, police in New Smryna Beach said Tuesday they’re investigating the distribution of antisemitic flyers in a residential neighborhood on Monday night.

A group of about 15 people was spotted about 10:40 a.m. Saturday toting flags and clothes with Nazi insignia near Hotel Plaza Boulevard and East Buena Vista Drive in Orange County, the Sheriff’s Office confirmed.

In a statement sent by OCSO spokesperson Michelle Guido, the agency said the demonstration lasted about two hours. No one was arrested.
