Neo-Nazis are filmed hurling disgusting racist slurs at black children as young as eight in downtown Nashville
A group of neo-Nazis have been filmed using disgusting racist insults towards a group of black children.
The incident was caught on camera in Nashville, Tennessee on July 14, and shows the group, playing music in the city, being assaulted by a group of men who are members of the Goyim Defense League.
In the disturbing video, one of the Nazis can be heard telling the youths, some of whom were as young as eight years old, “Walk around us, n*****.”
You see the group of children with their makeshift drums crossing the street in the city center, while the group of Nazis laugh at them.
The men wear T-shirts that read “Whites Against Replacement,” while one man wears a face covering with a swastika on it.
A group of police officers step between the group of children and the racists, before escorting the children further.
The group of children can be seen crossing the street in the city centre with their makeshift drums as the group of Nazis laugh at them.
The incident showed how the group, which plays music in the city, was assaulted by a group of men who are members of the Goyim Defense League.
The men continue their sickening tirade, saying: “Their f***ing n******,” while also using other horrible language to describe the children.
The camera then pans to one of the neo-Nazis who addresses the camera directly.
He continues his racist attack, saying: ‘God, I love those little monkeys, it just shows how f****** violent they are at such a young age.’
The Goyim Defense League (GDL) was founded by Jon Minadeo II, a failed rapper who was previously arrested in Poland after a disgusting demonstration outside Auschwitz.
According to WPLN reporter Paige Southwick PflegerThe group identified itself as the Goyim Defense League.
Pfleger posted on X the day of the incident with the children that the group had shouted “sieg heil” and given the Hitler salute.
According to News 5The group of children were on their way home after playing drums in the city centre when they were victims of assault.
Detonio Wilson, who is only ten years old, was one of five children who were verbally attacked.
He told the outlet: “I think it’s racist because they just said bad words to us. The police didn’t do anything, they just told us to go home.”

The men wear T-shirts that read “Whites Against Replacement,” while one man wears a face covering with a swastika on it.
Ashton Lee, a mother of several children, told News 5 she couldn’t believe the racist insults.
She told the outlet, “These kids are not begging; they’re beating drums, and it’s your choice to give them what you have if you want to. It’s your choice.”
The young children walk to the city centre with buckets, which they then use as makeshift drums.
Reps. Justin Jones and GA Hardaway are now calling on state leaders to condemn this behavior.
Jones said: ‘They targeted children who were alone because they thought they could bully them.
“We’re going to tell these white supremacists to take that shit somewhere else. We don’t want it and we’re not going to have it.”
Jones also asked Police Chief John Drake for clarification on the officers’ response.

A statement from the Metro Police said: “The hatred the neo-Nazi group shouted at the five African-American children who happened to encounter them on July 14 is shocking and reprehensible.
Footage from the officers’ bodycam shows members of a police team intervening to de-escalate the situation and walking away from the neo-Nazi group with the children.
‘A police officer told the neo-Nazis, “They are children,” in an attempt to stop the offensive language.
“When the children started yelling back at the neo-Nazis, we heard the officer tell the children several times, ‘Be better than them.’”
‘The officers in the city centre felt personally offended by the insults that afternoon.’
The neo-Nazi group has been active in the Tennessee city for several weeks.
Their continued presence raises difficult questions about why Music City attracts so many groups that espouse Nazi beliefs, and what, if anything, can be done to stop them.

Rabbi Dan Horwitz, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville, said the city is a great place for the Jewish community. A unity rally on Sunday drew hundreds of supporters.
However, he also said it could be that neo-Nazis chose Nashville because it attracts tourists.
“It doesn’t surprise me that white supremacists would also say, ‘Hey, this seems like a fun place where we can meet and party at night.'”
When a journalist from WTVF-TV approached the neo-Nazis last week with the question “why did you choose Nashville?” they didn’t provide much more clarity.
“It is the only place where freedom of speech is respected,” said Nicholas Bysheim, a member of the Goyim Defense League.
The group has also repeatedly disrupted public meetings of the Nashville-Davidson County City Council.
The city council has introduced a measure to limit the damage caused by hate groups. A bill has been introduced to ban local police from associating with them.
