SAN BERNARDINO – Packets of Aryan Nations propaganda preaching a white nationalist message were delivered over the weekend to at least one Westside neighborhood where many residents are not likely to share that kind of ideology.

“The funny part is, it’s predominantly Latino and black,” resident Jerry Moya said.

Moya found the flyers around 7 a.m. Saturday when he stepped outside of his Poplar Avenue home to feed his dogs. The Aryan Nations’ materials were packed into plastic bags with small rocks, apparently to prevent the wind from blowing the materials away.

The materials in one package found near Moya’s home included a flyer emblazoned with the Aryan Nations logo that declared white people will be a minority by 2042, and encouraged whoever found it to “act now to secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”

Another flyer contained purported quotes from Abraham Lincoln in support of a claim that the Great Emancipator opposed racial integration.

Moya, who called the flyers “a laugh,” also said his neighbors “aren’t going to be happy about this.”

“Myself, I kind of wasn’t happy about this and I thought `They’re just ignorant.’ It’s sad.”

The flyers contain contact information for the Aryan Nations in Athol, Idaho. There are other Web sites for groups in other American cities that also call themselves Aryan Nations.

The Athol group is passing out this kind of literature nationwide, said Paul Mullet, its national director.

“We’re trying to just promote the white race, white unity, white pride,” Mullet said.

When asked, Mullet refused to say what Aryan Nations members would have done with the millions of non-whites who live in Southern California.

The Aryan Nations’ power has declined significantly during the past decade due to the death of its founder and a major lawsuit, said Brian Levin, director of the Center for Hate and Extremism at Cal State San Bernardino.

Passing out the kinds of flyers that were found Saturday morning in San Bernardino is an activity that generally falls within free speech rights, Levin said.

“This is something that happens from time to time,” he said. “There are flyers somewhere every week. That’s what they do.”
