When the church doors open, only white people will be allowed inside.
That’s the message the Asatru Folk Assembly in Murdock, Minnesota, is sending after being granted a conditional use permit to open a church there and practice its pre-Christian religion that originated in northern Europe.
Murdock council members said they do not support the church but were legally obligated to approve the permit, which they did in a 3-1 decision.
“We were highly advised by our attorney to pass this permit for legal reasons to protect the First Amendment rights," Mayor Craig Kavanagh said. "We knew that if this was going to be denied, we were going to have a legal battle on our hands that could be pretty expensive.”
City Attorney Don Wilcox said it came down to free speech and freedom of religion.
“I think there’s a great deal of sentiment in the town that they don’t want that group there," he said. "You can’t just bar people from practicing whatever religion they want or saying anything they want as long as it doesn’t incite violence.”
After permit approved for whites-only church, small Minnesota town insists it isn't racist

The only rational reaction is exactly what you said. Let's play dress-up. Black people become white, white people become black, brown folks just have some fun, mix it up.
You can't tell the difference now? Great, that's the point, you don't need to tell the difference, it wasn't important to begin with! I performed that skit for years, I didn't get rich, I didn't do it for money, I did it to make the world a better place by expanding some minds.
Now we have supposedly left-wing gate keepers that think any pale-skin who went along with the exercise must be cancelled; denounced as racists. Ridiculous.
It's true, I do not yet have a cage full of rats locked around my head, but this is some grim shit nonetheless. It's a new puritanism. It's the exact opposite of everything historically called 'left.'
