NAZIS IN OLY? 4-2-06
Well, I went on the hunt for nazis today with a small group composed of small so-called peace/diversity groups. One woman had a sign that said "Jews Against the War" another young white woman waved her father's american peace flag (instead of stars a white peace symbol surrounded by american blue). I turned on the camera at Heritage Park by the bath house of a tent adorned with rainbow flags, a lady was instructing the sparse crowd of protesters to go to the capital where these Nazis would be. A tall slender woman stepped up to the podium demanding those with sensitive ears leave if they couldn't stomach racial epithets. ????? I wonder whom she was talking to. Anyways, as the dedicated crowd charged up the hill a little boy began singing his ABC's I thought that was special...Uh. Anyway, security was so tight you would have thought the it was the president they were escorting out of harms way from the 20 protesters. I missed a classic shot of Nazis sitting comfortably in a blue trooper van but I did get a handy cam shot of them getting into their Ford Blazer. Not quite the excitement I was hoping for but I'm sure it'll be useful somewheres.

interesting subject title. i was encouraged to read more. i am unclear at who the people in blue were and who these "nazis" were and what they were promoting...is it war? becuz im a contradicted by the woman with the 'jews against the war'. do u think they were using the word nazi as a form of substitution for the republican party and President Bush? I am interested in how words merge together or the way people use words to create something new to explain or label another thing. i wonder if this could help your project? you are on the right track of not wanting to slandor anyone or have your story as another victim story....could u use your footage to reexplain and use the core of what 'institutionalized racism' is? u did a great job about this in your powerpoint.
how would you like to narrow your footage and this idea of 'looking for nazis' into your experiences as a student in Evergreen's community?
