The ignorant comments by Identity Evropa members demonstrates their lack of knowledge and history. As noted by ESENDOM, immigrants and people of color have made substantial contributions and are an integral part of the United States.

Founded by racist, ex-felon, Nathan Benjamin Damigo, Identity Evropa is nothing more than an organized hate group. Damigo has been associated with white supremacist groups including American Freedom Party and National Youth Front. Reputable source Southern Poverty Law Center wrote a detailed article about Damigo and his questionable background.

According to the Identity Evropa website, Identity Evropa’s “main objective is to create a better world for people of European heritage – particularly in America – by peacefully effecting cultural change.” In January, Trump asked, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Racist and discriminatory comments such as these fuel white nationalists, who are both protected and in some cases supported by the government.
