As they marched through Nashville, Tennessee, a group of White supremacists, whose group goes by the name “Blood Tribe,” wore black balaclavas, masks that hide one’s face like ski masks, and red shirts with Swastika flags on them.
On Sunday, the group were approached by one man in an incident that has since gone viral online, according to media sources.
“Show yourself—what are you ashamed of?” the man reportedly yelled to the neo-Nazis.
Blood Tribe members reportedly venerate Adolf Hitler as a divinity and adhere to White supremacist beliefs, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Additionally, female participation is prohibited in the movement, which opposes “white supremacists who call for softer ‘optics.’”
According to the ADL, the Blood Tribe views itself as “the only path to a White ethnostate.”
The protesters may have been from out of town since there were no reported arrests and the group left in a U-Haul truck that eventually drove out of the Nashville area, according to police and witnesses who allegedly followed them.
The neo-Nazis can be heard chanting “deportation” in several videos that have been made public.
During the march, the man approached the neo-Nazis and asked, “Best you got? Present your f***ing faces to me. What happened to your face?”
“Get out. Your people poop in the street,” a Blood Tribe member said to the man in response.
The man then said, “You don’t know my people,” in response to the remarks made by the neo-Nazis. While shouting “f***ing cowards,” the man continued to follow the march.
Meanwhile, Democrat Tennessee Representative Aftyn Behn said that her “office is closely monitoring the Nazi rally downtown.”
“These groups, once relegated to the dark corners, now feel empowered to spew their noxious ideology out in the open due to our state’s leadership REFUSING to condemn their speech and actions,” Behn said on X (Twitter).
The vice mayor of Nashville and Davidson county, Angie Emery Henderson, also chimed in on the news of the White supremacist march.
“I even have to say this. NAZIS are NOT WELCOME in NASHVILLE. In America everyone is free to demonstrate & to say what they want, so: SHAME ON YOU ALL! Get your hateful, dangerous, fascist, nazi [sic] nonsense off our streets & off our beautiful Public Square.”
The leader of the Blood Tribe group, Christopher Pohlhaus, a former U.S. Marine, was also caught on video expressing his support of President Joe Biden due to his approval of funding the war in Ukraine. The footage was allegedly caught in Florida while members were speaking with a reporter.
“My vote is useless. I think Biden’s better than Trump ’cause he sends rockets to Ukraine,” he said in the video. “Heil Ukraine!”

How have political leaders in Tennessee responded to the white supremacist march, and what criticisms have emerged regarding their actions or lack thereof
Title: White Supremacist March in Nashville: A Disturbing Reminder of the Persistence of Hate
Introduction:
On February 19, 2024, a group of white supremacists, known as the “Blood Tribe,” took to the streets of Nashville, Tennessee, wearing black balaclavas and wielding swastika flags. Their presence and ideology have since caused widespread outrage and raised concerns about the persistence of hate and bigotry in society.
The Incident and Public Reaction:
As the group marched through Nashville, a man confronted them, demanding that they reveal their faces and questioning their beliefs. In response, one of the Blood Tribe members made derogatory remarks, indicating their disdain for certain ethnic groups. The incident quickly went viral, prompting outrage and further condemnation of the group’s hateful ideology.
The Blood Tribe and Their Beliefs:
The Blood Tribe is a white supremacist group that reveres Adolf Hitler as a divinity and subscribes to white supremacist beliefs. Notably, they prohibit female participation and reject other white supremacist factions that advocate for a softer public image. According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Blood Tribe views itself as the sole path to achieving a “White ethnostate.”
Response from Political Leaders:
Amidst the public outcry, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee publicly denounced Nazism and antisemitism, emphasizing the state’s unwavering support for the nation of Israel and its people. However, some critics argue that the state’s leadership has not done enough to condemn white supremacist groups firmly.
Tennessee Representative Aftyn Behn expressed concern, stating that her office is closely monitoring the Nazi rally downtown. Behn criticized the lack of condemnation of hate speech and actions by state leadership, which she believes has emboldened these extremist groups.
Public Outrage and Opposition:
Vice Mayor of Nashville and Davidson County, Angie Emery Henderson, vehemently rejected the presence of white supremacists in the city. She called not only for their removal from the streets but also for the eradication of their hateful ideology. Henderson’s response reflects the widespread public sentiment that these groups, representative of a dark chapter in history, should not find a foothold in Nashville or any other part of America.
Conclusion:
The white supremacist march in Nashville serves as a disturbing reminder of the persistence of hate and the necessity of actively combatting it. While the incident has sparked public outrage and opposition, it also highlights the need for continued efforts to address and eradicate white supremacist ideology and its dangerous consequences. Ultimately, it is essential for communities, political leaders, and individuals to stand together against all forms of hate, ensuring a more inclusive and tolerant society for everyone.
