National Socialist Movement

The National Socialist Movement is a white supremacy group that operates all around that US and the world. It was formerly known as the National Socialist American Workers Freedom Movement. It was founded in 1974 by Robert Branned and Cliff Herrington who were members of the American Nazi Party before it fell. The National Socialist movement is the largest and most active Socialist group in the United States. Even though they are sometimes called a hate group, they consider themselves as a "White Civil Rights Group". 

Facts:

1. They were the main cause of the Toledo Riots in 2005. 

           The Toledo Riots were a march by white supremacy groups against black gangs on the northern side of Toledo. They were sparked by the National Socialist Movement.

2. As of 2009, The National Socialist Movement has 61 chapters in 35 states.

3. Main headquarters are in Detroit, Michigan. 

4. In 2010, 70 members of NSM gave an anti illegal immigration demonstration at Los Angeles City Hall.

5. The NSM held a rally in Wisconsin to protest things like the Wisconsin State fair from a year earlier, where a large group of african americans waited at the gate for white people and beat them.

My thoughts: I dont really like the NSM because i believe in equal rights, where skin color does not matter, but the NSM is strictly white supremacy.
