White nationalists target bookstores, libraries in protests nationwide

By Marissa J. Lang Marissa J. Lang Local reporter focused on D.C. area news Email Bio Follow April 29 at 7:11 PM When a group of self-avowed white nationalists interrupted an author chat Saturday at bookstore Politics and Prose with a megaphone and chants of “This land is our land,” workers were surprised — but not unprepared.

The group, which formed last month and is headquartered in the Washington area, is considered by several organizations that track hate groups to be a rebranded version of Identity Evropa, an organization that has sought to recruit college students and young conservatives to join its ranks through posters and online propaganda, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

“Disruptions like this are a great way for us to insert our ideas into the discussion on race and identity,” he said in an interview. “We knew it would be a provocative and bold thing to do, to go into what we felt like is the other side’s territory and get people talking about us.” Revolution Books in Berkeley, Calif., a regular target of far-right activists, tweeted a statement in support of Politics and Prose.

“We’re going to burn down your bookstore. You know that, right?” demonstrator Rob Cantrall said in a video taken by bookstore staff.

That sounds like white nationalists; targeting a store because it sells books.

So do extremely violent democrat Antifa

Tell them stop ... Let them know these places are open to everyone, so they too can learn to read ...

Graf 26: Despite the uptick, protests remain infrequent.

Good people on both aisles now?

Well sure, if you can’t read, those places are intimidating.

The Washington Post's bias is insane. If you support this you are screwed. It's just a matter of time before this type of propaganda is turned on you.

Stupid

This sounds more like DSA & Antifa tactics... Targeting people and shouting them down in restaurants, homes, and universities by Leftists has been on full display for all to see. Many of these incidents included violence perpetrated by the Leftists.

White supremacists.

VeryFakeNews

RealCandaceO would say this isn’t true.

Black nationalists target bookstores, libraries in protests nationwide

These places should have a few of these on hand for situations like this.

Ironic since the vast majority of white nationalists can't read

They dont read so why else would they be in a bookstore

Labels of people of color,,,hypocrisy

I have to admit, Langley is finally showing some creativity for once.

Consequences of immoral political strategy targeting primeval tribal instincts, to win elections.

Makes sense they would attack the citadels of fact, reality and the opportunity to learn something.

In the age of Amazon all you can find in bookstores is drag queens and white nationalists.

Terrorists.

If it's not nipped in the bud, they're going to start going beyond 'protests' and start burning & ransacking.

Are they beefing about the way being made for them by the forces that hold down the lives of black families? Educate me....

They’re afraid of knowledge

What are they protesting ...hvg so much power, hvg gd job's, wealth, education, hvg space made for them? What's their beef?

Bed Bath & Beyond investor group proposes immediate replace of CEO, shares fallShares of Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. fell 1.5% in morning trade Friday, after an activist investor group proposed a plan to modernize the home furnishings retailer's strategies, boost earnings and shareholder value, starting with ousting the CEO. As part of the plan, the investor group, which includes Legion Partners Holdings LLC, Macellum Advisors GP LLC and Ancora Advisors LLC, said Chief Executive Steven Gemares "must be immediately replaced" to avoid further destruction of value. Temares has been CEO since 2003, and has been part of leadership since the company went public in 1992. The group said its plan, which also includes fixing the merchandise over-assortment, increasing employee training, improving vendor relations and cutting costs, will help boost annual earnings to $5.00 a share; the FactSet EPS consensus for 2019 is $1.96. The stock has lost 6.2% over the past 12 months, while the SPDR S&P Retail ETF has gained 0.1% and the S&P 500 has advanced 9.7%.

I love Bed, Bath & Beyond. I’ve just thrown what I’ve bought from them because they broke - after 10 years.

Your love of Bed Bath & Beyond coupons could be killing the retailerAfter years of stalled sales and declining profits, the retailer is pulling back on coupons. Analysts say that could prove disastrous. Or they could, you know, just stop issuing them? their stores' allowing the use of expired coupons for years is part of what is killing them. I worked for them. I loved the store atmosphere. its business practices are poor. they should do away with individual coupons and stick to the subscription model/lower prices to survive. Or, they could stop marking everything up so much to make it not even worth going without them.
