Russell Walker with a confederate flag
Although new to the national stage, Russell Walker previously made local headlines when he sued to keep the confederate flag up in a state courtroom.

Russell Walker is a Republican candidate running for a seat in the North Carolina General Assembly. Walker seemed a fairly viable candidate up until last week, when some alarming statements were discovered on a website thought to belong to him.

The now-controversial North Carolina politician made national headlines after someone unearthed blog posts written by him that explicitly argue in favor of white supremacy. The cherry on top? Walker insists God is supportive of it:

"What is wrong with being a white supremacist? God is a racist and a white supremacist. Someone or group has to be supreme and that group is the whites of the world ... someone or something has to be inferior ... In all history in sub-Saharan Africa, no two-story building or a waterproof boat was ever made."

Finding this type of head-scratching hate on the internet is not exactly newsworthy. After all, it's the internet. But coming from an established politician? That's certainly concerning.

What Was God Thinking When He Created Russell Walker?

Even as kooks go, Russell Walker is a rare breed a conspiracy-theory-spewing 75-year-old who has proudly penned multiple 'essays' on his website laying out religious justifications for white supremacy and other abhorrent views.

The website christdescendedfromjoseph.com features a strange vitriolic blend of racist headlines and political statements. Among them are assertions that "God made the races and he is the greatest racist ever"; that "The Jews are not Semitic they are Satanic as they all descend from Satan" and that Martin Luther King Jr. "wanted to destroy the Caucasian race through mixing and integration. He was an agent of Satan."

Although new to the national stage, Walker previously made local headlines when he sued to keep the confederate flag up in a state courtroom. He lost. Here's Walker on camera espousing his views on the matter and explaining that "God is the greatest racist on the face of the earth:"

!##!

GOP Pulls Support

After the revelations came to light, the North Carolina Republican Party quickly withdrew its support for Walker. GOP chairman Robin Hayes explained they would rather "spend their time and resources supporting Republican candidates that better reflect the values of our party."

But here's the kicker: Walker, who has refused to withdraw his candidacy and cannot be forced out, will face Democrat incumbent and African American minister Garland Pierce in November. You really couldn't write a better script than this.

White Supremacy: God's Will?

Within his many rantings, Walker uses the same basic logic to claim that white supremacy is both natural and just. The thinking goes: since God created the world and all the people in it the fact that Caucasians have dominated other races is simply an extension of God's will. If God wanted perfect equality, why wouldn't He just make everyone equal?

How's that for some impressive next-level victim blaming. It appears that in his hastiness to justify inequality with biblical logic, Walker has overlooked one of the most important principles upon which America was founded: that all men are created equal.

Unfortunately, thanks to people like Russell Walker, when this played out in the real world humanity's dark side was exposed. Does the fact that human societies chose to subjugate one another mean that's what God willed to happen? Doubtful.

A more likely scenario: the Russell Walkers of the world scoured the Bible to find passages justifying their evil behavior, then claimed they were acting in accordance with God's wishes.

If Compassion is More welfare an less work Or OPEN Borders to the point it changes the make up of America Then NO Republicans Don't have that in them . Republicans would rather have folks work for a living an get self respect from it. An as far as Borders GOD was a firm believer in a lands Security.

    What really is race? It is part of your DNA, of your ancestral memory. It is just an indication or protection for your health. If you are born in Africa where the sun is extremely hot your skin is black because of pigment in your skin, will protect you from skin cancer, melanoma, by nature. You live in Indonesia or Thailand, India or other countries where the sun is less hot your skin will be brown, in Italy or Poland they are less brown but tan easily/more brown. The Skandanavian countries, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland etc. Or Russia, You are white/Caucasian etc. because the sun is not very strong so people there do not need to protect their bodies from the sun, but from the cold! But under that skin we are all the same, maybe with some diseases we are prone to, according again to climate and ancestral differences. This has been going on for millions of years. There have been many races on planet earth that have died out! Every thing runs in cycles so what is the big deal. Wake up n look at things logically. Every thing is energy/vibration, so every thing, including the Source. We are part of Source, we are energy! Some vibrate fast, some slow if you vibrate so slow you become a straight line, dead! Or some things so fast you turn to stone. Petrified wood for example. It is just a question of degrees! Just learn a little quantum physics, putting it into words makes it easier to understand! Mr. Russel Walker is an ignoramus and neo-nazi. Like I call the Republican party, the party of the Ignorant, Stupid and Greedy, or any combination there of. Men was created in God's image, but since he was not a physical God, but his Spiritual Image! But for some Evagelicals and others with a pea-brain that is hard to understand specially when you take the bible literally! Hello America, wake up! ??????

      The concept of race is no longer considered by biologists. Humans have very similar genes - much moreso than nearly any other animal or plant, Some people from some places have higher or lower incidence of genes which modify appearance, protect from disease, or cause disease. All humans have the same blood types and tissue types, such that if you need a blood transfusion or an organ transplant, the blood and tissue types are compared, not the ancestry of the doner/recipient. Genes that lead to one disease may protect for another - for instance, sickle cell genes protect one from malaria.

      This isn't a matter for politics or religious beliefs. That is the fact.

      I agreed with your post until you went off into pseudo science, energy, vibration, and pseudo-quantum physics, and what it means to be created in a "spiritual image".

      "Mr. Russel Walker is an ignoramus and neo-nazi." What is the difference between a neo-nazi and a nazi? Is one somehow better than the other? Should we feel relieved that Mr. Walker is a neo-nazi rather than a full-blown, let's invade Poland, nazi? Walker is just a nazi. There is nothing redemptive -- or neo -- about him.

      Of course I expected everything I read from a Left Wing liberal .I think i'll believe the witness's that were around during the 1500 years it Took to finish the Holy Scriptures. As far as Race goes we r NOT ALL the same or have been CHANGED by the sun. There Are Obvious Physical features besides color that Are noticeable to an Honest open minded person. One FACT that they hide from people is the Proven fact that People of European decent have 2-5% Neanderthal In their DNA. But Blacks of Africa south of the Sahara desert DO NOT HAVE ANY. means the Two Races Mated with Different set of Sub Humans an developed at a different rate. you talk of Hate an Neo Nazi's its Childish, Whites have the same rights as any other race on earth . You DONT Attack BLACKS who are PROUD to be BLACK or have Pride in their Heritage , And You Should Not attack Whites who are proud of their Heritage. Settling an Creating America for Starters.

      Amen, finally someone I find on line that has just plain common sense and looks at how the world is. I wish everyone would see we are all the same. We have the same inner organs, we bleed when injured, we feel when we love or get hurt or lose someone or even when we see tragedy to others. I can only pray that one day we will realize life is a gift given and taken away one day and we are here to learn something and love and respect everyone no matter what their color. God loves everyone and we should love and respect as well.

      Thank you, Willie34. Maybe our educational system needs to start teaching quantum physics earlier on in school. Mr. Walker is obviously vibrating and the lowest frequency with his convoluted garbage. Indeed we are ALL ONE SOURCE. Why is that so difficult for humans to understand? Or maybe they do, but their egos and material things they value on earth blind them to the truth?

    Willie34, you had me agreeing with you upto the point you started your anti-republican rant. At that point you compared yourself with Walker. The religious language you use may be diffrent in meaning but like you said, "But under that skin we are all the same", than why bash any political party or person.

    Why is it as soon as a person has an audience they grab a wooden box and start their political rhetoric?

      Lets see

      1. Grap them by their pussy 2 Saying that the neo nazi's in charlotsville were not completely bad.
      2. Signing an executive order that allows people to campaign and run for office on purely church platforms effectively putting another brick into the road connecting church and state.
      3. Vocally supporting Evangelicals and placing one into a WH office, again helping to end the seperation of chruch and state.
      4. Supporting a POS like Roy Moore.
      5. Insulting and belittling everyone that disagrees with Cadet Bone Spurs and his cronies.
      6. Refering to bikers as good people when they are just another gang no different then one like MS 13.
      7. Taking land that was part of historical and national conservation efforts and leasing it to companies to pillage and rape the land meant for people to enjoy for generations to come.
      8. Claiming to be all for smaller government even as he tries to bully and dictate to state and city officials what they can and cant do.
      9. Treating people seeking asylum as mere illegals and tearing children from their parents arm for the crime of trying to flee to a safety. Then resisting all efforts and public oversight to ensure that cruel abuse and callous neglect can be inflicted upon these kids.

      Those are just likely my own personal 10 reasons why I am disgusted by it. Keep in mind I only ask each pres to do one thing I think of as good for the people of the world to keep my mouth shut. With Obama it was his repealing the ban on stem cell research which he did pretty quickly once he was in office.

      Trump has yet to do anything I consider as potentially so impactful in a positive light for the world. And done many things are think are potentially lasting in the negative impact. Among others being insulting and dismissive of world leaders that should be treated with respect as allies, while praising and endorsing tyrants.

        I agree with most of what you said. Especially liked number 1. Ha! Roy Moore's "flock" were duped by this pseudo preacher. Our President needs to respect our allies. Not doing so weakens our counties place in world politics. Cozying up to Putin was a big mistake. The immigration problem has yet to be resolved by our President who seems to change his tune every time he opens his mouth. I've already commented about my belief in the need to separate church and state. States should govern their own destiny, not the government. Can't totally agree with no.7 though. Not all bikers are gang members. Most guys my age who ride a Harely with their"club members" are law abiding citizens and hero's like the Viet Nam vets club. How you feel about the war is a subject for another blog. Thanks for you insightful comments.

          Gary, I agree with you completely. And I too was an independent biker, until my sixteenth spill almost killed me nearly thirty years ago. Now I pedal around town on a bicycle. My father was also an independent biker for far more years than me, and claimed to have never had a spill. He was a U.S.Marine Corps. veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam wars. A sniper scout in Recon. He rode Harleys and I rode American made Hondas, only because I wasn't nearly as mechanically inclined.

            Hey Carl, Good to stay in touch with you. I also spent 6 years in the Corps. Best and most challenging experience of my life. Now I'm a pacifist and consider myself spiritual but do not follow any traditional, organized religion. I don't believe any person can feed me their beliefs and expect me to blindly follow them. Not gonna happen! My first ride was a Triumph 650 cc and later a Honda 750 and then a 900 cc kawi. which was an awesome ride until Suzuki came out with the 1100cc super bike. A good friend of mine who died some years ago was a Harley mechanic and I eventually bought a used shovelhead. Had it rebuilt by a local mechanic who was, believe it or not, a former Hell's Angel. He put a new engine and trans. in my bike and it was a rocket. The sound was unlike anything I had ever heard riding a crotch rocket. Real comfortable ride especially with a lady behind me. I can't even ride a bicycle anymore as I have a nerve disorder that has screwed up my balance. The dubious joys of aging!? I'll be marrying our oldest daughter later this month. Get to try out my ministerial wings. Hope it's a smooth flight. Later my friend. Gary

        About those biker gang members. I had a friend who was Los Angeles chapter Vice President of the Hell's Angels when he joined N.A. in 1972. He stayed clean for going on forty years, until he died. During some of those years he worked as a federal parole officer, but wore his colors for the rest of his life. Also, for many years I've had a female biker friend who rides a Harley, and is a very successful attorney. Gang members or not there are a lot of good people who are bikers. Never judge a book by its cover.

          I belong to what may be the oldest still functioning MC in the world. Bikers are mostly like everyone else, with the exception of the fact that they belong to the club and look out for the club and its members. It is something like a cross between a fraternity and a tribe. They usually love to do good to all people, unless those people threaten or do wrong to their family.

        the term is proto human not sub human. and actually every single population sample from every region of the world has shown bits of neanderthal. what your referring to Id guess is EEMH aka european early modern humans which used to be called cro magnon.

        And its pretty well accepted that man of these various proto humans migrated, interbred so on until we reached our current form and pretty much dominated the world.

        The simple fact is though we are all close enough to each other to have viable non sterile off spring which is as obvious as you can get that we are all part of the same human family.

Doesn't make sense As Far as pretty ACCEPTED statement I don't buy because I'm after the Facts that are True but Have been SILENCED by mainstream scientists So NOT to cause trouble in Society if the TRUTH GOT out about the Races. Also The SUN didn't make us white or black or Asian , We are Different.

          You are correct here, in my view, T'Keren. One of the seven proofs of God as Creator is that each kind only reproduces after its own kind. There can be varieties of that kind, but they cannot reproduce with another kind, and then have offspring that can reproduce. The fact that pygmies and Vikings are capable of producing fertile offspring testifies that they are from the same kind. This is one point I use to teach bible-thumpers that Nephilim are not descendants of cross-breeds between angels and human. That would defy the kind after kind law of God and nature.

    White Supremacy: God’s Will?

    Within his many rantings, Walker uses the same basic logic to claim that white supremacy is both natural and just. The thinking goes: since God created the world – and all the people in it – the fact that Caucasians have dominated other races is simply an extension of God’s will. If God wanted perfect equality, why wouldn’t He just make everyone equal?

    How’s that for some impressive next-level victim blaming. It appears that in his hastiness to justify inequality with biblical logic, Walker has overlooked one of the most important principles upon which America was founded: that all men are created equal.

    I understand that people think that the bible says all men are created equal. But there is no scripture written in the bible that says all men are created equal. It was written by the forefathers of this country in the United States Declaration of Independence and not in the bible. I must say that I do not believe what Russell Walker believes.

    The people of America believe that it is biblical and because of that it has created the rift that we have in this country. We need to be united as one America under God. We have been divided by this one non biblical phrase. It makes me wonder why our founders used it. They had to know it would cause all kind of problems. They weren't stupid. It makes one wonder doesn't it.

    We are all God's children and loved by Him, but each and everyone of us are different. We are one in Him, not man. BYITNOJ

      Our fotefathers right not have been as smart as you think they were. It doesn't necessarily take a whole lot of intelligence to win a war and start a country. And some of them might have been prejudiced too, by today's standards. At least that fool is seventy five years old and we we won't have to hear him for more than a couple of decades. And there's not a chance of anyone much older than that becoming our president. Considering his recent statements he probably will be laughed out of politics. He reminds me a lot of Archie Bunker.

    George, the Repulican party has changed in the last 60 yrs or so. Specially since Pres. Reagon came in. Have watched the Supreme court changing also, more to the right. The more to the right the more Fascistic/ Nazi/Barbaric. The NRA is also a neo/Nazi organization. Under the guise of the 2nd amendment! They want to start a race war, that is, they want everybody to have a gun. The Nazis also slowly appointed their own judges. By militairizing the police they hope the next step will be making them into a new SS Nazi unit. And pres. Trump, the big Trumpeter has the right DNA. He has inherited the ancestral DNA of his germanic ancesters, autocratic, dictatorial, despotic,  Tyrannical, draconian, oppressive, repressive, all fascistic n Nazi/neo-nazi traits! Thinking that debasing women makes him a real man. And separating the children from their parents is what the Nazis did also. Since they were not useful so the gas chambers first. Some men were used in forced labor camps. Women n the infirm n elderly to the gas chambers also. You probably were not Even old enough to have learned this history. Well I am well over 80 and was in WWII and my my memory is very good. I am a caucasion non Jewish female with a good memory! I would advise every body that does not know anything about the Nazis to watch or read about their history.

      Yes unfortunately it can, and will if we don't do something about it. It's not what we talk about doing, it's not talking about what you want to to do, how your going to do it, or why your going to do that matters. What matter is what you do.

      Therefore I suggest you tell the Democrat Party to dial down the confrontational dialogue before a civil war breaks out, like the first civil war where brothers are fighting brother just as before.

      There's no reason to have people bothered, harassed, intimidated, bullied, and, and, and. Take your pick of adjectives. Is that what you want? If not all you have to do is call the local party and file a complaint; that's what I've done as a registered Democrat..

      I'm not sure if one or two will make a difference but if a bunch complain it will make a big impact, big enough to perhaps make a difference. Then, mabe just then, we can start working together for the betterment of both parties and more importantly "We The People!"

        George, it's the Republican Party who brought us to this level of discourse. The Republicans spent Obama's entire administration attacking him as a socialist pacifist, while we was expanding America's military presence around the world. They said he would bankrupt the country. They said his healthcare plan would bankrupt the government. They said he would bankrupt social security. They brought fear-mongering to an art. And now, as you parrot in your post here, they speak of civil war. Nobody in the leadership of the Democrats is talking Civil War, so if you want to complain about confrontational dialogue, I suggest you turn that back to the Republican Party leaders, and Fox News.

    This guy, Walker is definitely a whako, bigoted, pea brain. We are all the same under the skin. We vary in body type, intelligence and ethnicity. Why people like this guy continue to exist is beyond me. He needs to be silenced at best or ignored at least. The problem is ill advised unaware people. Don't believe a word he says.

    Why is it then the left are the ones making all the accusations and name calling. Why is it nobody on the left can see that Obama is the one that started this racial split within our country, denounced the police force, and stripped our military of much needed funds. Why can't the left acknowledge the fact that the some of the top people in the DOJ and FBI corrupted the government in favor of the person they thought was going to win. They didn't want to do anything that would jeopardize their position by actually investigating Hillary if she won.

    As I asked previously, you cant' find one thing Trump has done to better the nation that deserves at least a bit of praise. I voted for Obama twice and half way through his second term I realized that I had made a terrible mistake. He made America look weak through out the world by drawing lines in the sand and not backing his words -- the same words that represents the USA. I was a lifetime Democrat until Obama's second term.

    I didn't vote for Trump because I felt he was not of presidential material. But, he is the president and I still feel that his actions and many times his tweets are right off the wall. Yet I can see a lot of good that he has done and is trying to do if the democrats and the media would cut him some slack and support some of the programs he's trying to implement.

    I watch both liberal and conservative TV stations and find the liberals bash everything Trump does, wears, says, how he acts, and just because he doesn't fit what the democrats feel he should be their revolting. My main thought is this a plot to overthrow Trump based on the fact that he's draining the swamp meaning those individuals in high places that are afraid of losing their power and at worst winding up in prison are passing down the message to revolt and interfere into everything Trump or his supporters do just to protect their butts?

    How would you and your neighbors feel if a bunch of individuals confronted you verbally on your doorstep or if a coward placed a burned decapitated carcass on your doorstep for your wife or child to find, or how about running around with their faces covered? Why are they afraid to show their faces are they ashamed and just think their having fun by smashing windows and causing vandalism. Is that what you want to be associated with; to be a part of? I mean really. Way to go democrats and you claim Trump is evil--look in the mirror and see Lucifer staring back with a large grin on his/your face because he knows he has captured another soul..

      George, are you seriously saying that President Obama started the racial split within our country? Really, there wasn't one before he became President? Well, then, a lot of time was wasted on segregation and riots and lynching and the Civil War and school busing and slavery and all other race-related issues before he came into office, don't you think, since none of that, according to you, was any kind of racial split in this country and we were all just waiting for Obama to come along to give us one? And he didn't do anything to heal this racial split, by becoming the first black President here and trying his damnedest to fix this problem here as much as possible? Really? What more could he or anyone (including you) have done to fix this problem? Has Trumpelstiltskin done anything to repair the racial split in this country, by separating children from their families at the border or trying to ban Muslims from coming into this country (just because 1% of 1% or less of them might, possibly, be terrorists or radicals), but 1% of 1% or less of Americans' being terrorists or radicals don't get all Americans evicted or barred from this country, and ruining our relations with other countries? Conservatives (more socially respectable Nazis) such as yourself just are totally self-contradictory and operate on a double standard, in which people who are trying to bring the country together and heal racial splits are "really the ones who are causing the racial split" and those who are actually causing and maintaining the racial split are "really the ones who are trying to heal it" and you just see everything ass-backward from the way that it actually is!

      George, your entire post reveals your incredible privilege and your near complete ignorance of your own racism.

      1. The "racial split within our country" has existed since before the country. What changed was having a black man in the White House, saying the same things the American Black community has been saying for decades, while we the white majority ignored their experience. Every study of the American justice system shows that Black people are incarcerated more often for the same crimes that white people are given a warning and released. Studies of our school systems show that Black and Middle Eastern students are punished and told they're going to grow up a criminal, while the white students who do the same things are told to settle down and grow up.

      2. Obama never -- not one single time -- denounced the police. He recognized that a large part of the population doesn't experience the police as their protectors, but as their abusers. Again, the only thing that changed was having a Black man in the White House. The problem hasn't changed; only the discussion. He very publicly supported the police, championing their hard work, and said we needed to do more to prevent police violence, a problem our free nation should be without.

      3. Obama, like Clinton, never, not once, decreased military spending. First, the President doesn't control the federal budget; Congress does. Second, under both administrations, federal spending on military and border control increased.

      4. Hillary was investigated by the DOJ multiple times. According to public records, she was the most investigated member of our government ever. She also spent more time testifying in front of Congressional committees than any other individual in the history of our nation. And every time -- every single investigation -- she was proven to have done nothing illegal. In several cases, she received a full apology from the members of Congress who had accused her in the first place.

      5. The USA's reputation was one of communal partner under Obama; now it's war monger and brutalizer. The lies about Obama not backing his words are irresponsible. and partisan bullshit. He was criticized while in office for having our military in too many places, while being simultaneously criticized for making America look militarily weak by not using them enough. It's irrational fear-mongering. Fear is not respect. We were respected during the Obama years, and not the world is afraid and holding their fingers on the red buttons, just waiting for the USA to overreact and cause a new war. 5. The drain the thing has been proven wrong over and over. He hasn't drained anything. He has filled the Executive Branch with his billionaire friends, and his own family. We have never in our history had a President who so blatantly and openly gave positions of power as favours to his backers. More than 20 people in the President's campaign and advisory team -- people he then hired to fill White House positions -- have been charged in the collusion investigation, and many of them have already pleaded guilty to their crimes. If he drained the swamp, it was only to fill it with toxic waste.

    Of the thousands of mythologies, and tens of thousands of dieties, I often wonder why people use the word 'god' as if it meant anything.

    Anything can be a god... not much weight in such a generic word.

    Which mythology system are you referring to ?

    What particular diety are you claiming to speak for ?

    Why would other gods, divas, spirits, or entities listen to anything ?

    The Natrual Creator if all of creation, obviously plays NO favorites - just ask a T. REX. Oh, you can't the dinosaurs are all gone.

    Most life forms are EXTINCT. The current set of life forms are experiencing mass extinctions - all because of humans.

    Homo sapien seems like a well advanced and developed species, to themselves.

    But the T. REX thought the same about themselves...

    Right up until the end.

    If you wamt to know more about the Creator, just study the creation...

    EARTH is a well written book, millions of years old and containing many chapters.

    Homo sapiens would do well to pay attention to the Ice Age Chapters, and the up and coming " SNOWBALL EARTH ".

    Not much survives the cold snaps.

    And in the far future, one day the next new top species might marvel at the dead and empty cities, wondering about humans the way humans wonder about the first dinosaurs...

    " The Buddha divided all questions into four classes: those that deserve a categorical (straight yes or no) answer; those that deserve an analytical answer, defining and qualifying the terms of the question; those that deserve a counter-question, putting the ball back in the questioner's court; and those that deserve to be put aside. The last class of question consists of those that don't lead to the end of suffering and stress. The first duty of a teacher, when asked a question, is to figure out which class the question belongs to, and then to respond in the appropriate way. You don't, for example, say yes or no to a question that should be put aside. If you are the person asking the question and you get an answer, you should then determine how far the answer should be interpreted. The Buddha said that there are two types of people who misrepresent him: those who draw inferences from statements that shouldn't have inferences drawn from them, and those who don't draw inferences from those that should.

    He's 75 years old? It's got to be Dementia. It seems once Dementia sets in, these old people say racist things and start acting weird.

    The Rebel Flag thing was stupid, totally a 1st Amendment issue. No reason to take away the Rebel Flag because of it's history, just like the Cuban Flag represents communism or Haitian Flag represents wide spread, unchecked corruption.

    Also, the author of this article referred to one of this kook's comments as "victim shaming". It's time to stop referring to minorities as "victims". It's actually demeaning and as long as society labels them as such, they will never be seen as anything else.

    I have scrolled through the comments made by all of the ULC ministers that are posted and I find some very disturbing. When we joined the ULC movement, generally speaking, we were pledging ourselves to the oneness of our group. No matter what the culture, or faith doctrine they followed. I assume that it also meant whatever their political agenda might be, that when it comes to our ministers, they leave their "racial hatred" and "political hatred" at the door and treat everyone as brothers and sisters, respecting their individual beliefs.

    When you address "race" it is a scientific fact that none of us is a "pure blooded" anything! Our ethnic roots go back into history in many different directions. This may surprise some but if you take a DNA test, you will understand what I am saying. But one thing is certain, we all do belong to the human race.
