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

Denials are cheap. The transcripts of the trials at Nuremberg are full of denials.
Dworkin never gave a coherent answer to how a woman, as an oppressed person, might give a man, as an oppressing person, meaningful, independently considered consent.
Or if she did, I've never seen it - and I looked for it. There are no Dworkinite Consent Processes. There is no Dworkin's Guide to Non-oppressive Intercourse.
She didn't even, that I saw, give any kind of verifiable checklist on how you might know that consent might have been theoretically freely given.
No, all we got from her was women are oppressed, men are the oppressors, and that's pretty much it. Denying after the fact that her writings lead to where they lead is about as convincing as Goering on the witness stand.
