  • Racist Flyers Again Distributed In Omaha Save Email Print
    National Alliance sends "Valentine's" message

    A white supremacist group, The National Alliance, has again distributed flyers in an Omaha neighborhood.

    The message "love your race," was left in west Omaha driveways Sunday morning. The group's Web site said the flyers were sent as Valentine's Day cards for people around the world.

    Steve, who didn't want his last name used, found his flyer on the way to church.

    "I just thought it was garbage and when I opened it up, discovered it was garbage."

    The "love your race" message is one he finds offensive.

    "The word love is a genetic mutation. They just mutated love into hate," Steve says. "If they're saying love only those of a certain kind, that's totally inappropriate."

    Steve isn't taking it lightly.

    "Any kind of silence means they win and to address this and say we as individuals, we as neighbors, as a city, we won't take this, we want to be known for love and good deeds."

    Bob Wolfson of the Anti-Defamation League said chances are the flyers will continue to be found, that The National Alliance plans to distribute them anytime there's a significant day.

    "It gets people's notice at a time when they have other agendas. They may be offended, but there's a small segment of people who might say they have a point, that's what they're looking for. They're not looking for all of us. They're looking for a few people who have these kind of feelings."

    One of the flyers also turned up at the home of a Jewish family. Mark, who also asked that his last name not be disclosed, wasn't sure if his home was targeted because of their religious beliefs. As the son of two Holocaust survivors, the message was especially hurtful.

    "I feel sorry for them because they really do not understand life and how it's supposed to be. And I can only blame whoever they were brought up with for their hatred," he says.

    Attempts to contact The National Alliance were unsuccessful. A call to the phone number at the bottom of the flyer reached only a recording. The group distributed flyers in northwest Omaha in December and in Millard last August.
