Inside America's last whites-only church

Inside America's last whites-only church

In rural Minnesota, a fringe Heathen group known as the Asatru Folk Assembly has purchased a local church – and membership is strictly whites-only.

They worship Nordic, pre-Christian gods and they call themselves a ‘folk religion’ that only accepts those with northern European ancestry. Their racially exclusive ideology is protected by the first amendment. Amudalat Ajasa visits the church to understand how it is gaining influence across the country and to meet the anti-racist Heathens fighting back to reclaim their religion

    People have the right to be with their own kind without feeling the guilt of insulting others.

    There are black-only churches out there. So of coarse there will be White Only ones and I completely respect that.

    As a Northern European myself, i don`t want you, you disgust me, don`t assosiate yourself with my heritage.

  5. Lindsay Whitney on July 4, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    I am so confused — I live in Europe, and I´m like, ´there are still lots of us here´, haha. There´s not a lack of Europeans!

  7. Santi on July 4, 2022 at 10:27 pm

  8. alfonso mejia on July 4, 2022 at 10:29 pm

    That country is a joke!

  9. Adriana Tanner on July 4, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    I don’t see how they are legally allowed to turn people away because of skin color or ethnicity… if they want to worship that way that’s their business I guess…

    This is devil’s babies.

  11. Savage Renegades on July 4, 2022 at 10:36 pm

  12. UltimateAwe on July 4, 2022 at 10:36 pm

    The guy she interviewed at first, Pat, is exactly the problem. He creeped me out.

    You can bet, that if any black community did this it would be seen as ok in 2022.

    What’s the journalists name

  19. Sky He on July 4, 2022 at 10:52 pm

    They’ve probably never left their state borders claiming to care so much about their heritage and culture.

  20. Flordella Eafford on July 4, 2022 at 10:53 pm

    They dying and that’s why you shouldn’t promote by watching this

  21. Neo Capable Technology on July 4, 2022 at 10:54 pm

    I’m curious, she stated you have to be of native european DESCENT ( 6:37 ), what if somebody is half or 3/4 that "native european descent", then what? They’re still white in a way?

  22. Let'sNotGoThere on July 4, 2022 at 10:55 pm

    Why would a POC want to culturally appropriate another culture’s folkways, anyway? Can yt ppl not have any culture anymore?

  23. Katie Bunch on July 4, 2022 at 10:56 pm

    Well now I’m uncomfy. My tattoo was shown in this. Valhalla doesn’t want racists.

  24. Camila on July 4, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    I know they feel they have a constitutional right of religious gathering, however, the fact that this type of movement and ideas are the same that enslaved and tortured African Americans for over 400 years, it should def be looked at as a threat to the African American community. We all have a right to feel safe and respected. No matter ur political party or religious views, it only takes being a human and have read a couple history books to know that this is very disturbing.

  25. jimmy cricket on July 4, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    Risible.

  29. Jennifer Steele on July 4, 2022 at 10:59 pm

  32. Lee Draconis on July 4, 2022 at 11:00 pm

    As a norse pagan, seeing our past being used like this is just…. Disgusting.

  33. Spicy Kola on July 4, 2022 at 11:01 pm

    THESE ARE NOT CHRISTIAN CHURCHES THEY FOLLOW NORDIC EUROPEAN RELIGIONS AND WORSHIP OTHER GODS DONT GET IT CONFUSED

  34. Maddi Kingsbury on July 4, 2022 at 11:01 pm

    I’m from Minnesota and have never heard of these people – but given the incidents here in my homestate in recent years I can’t say that I’m surprised.

  35. FIFTHSUN2012 on July 4, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    Anyone notice the Amon Amarth T-shirt on the non racist pagan guy. Raise Your Horns!

  36. Abdul Khan on July 4, 2022 at 11:03 pm

  37. রোগানে বেরেস্তা on July 4, 2022 at 11:07 pm

    He undoubtedly sounds like a white supremacist.

  38. NekoAnjiru on July 4, 2022 at 11:07 pm

  39. Oti Boat on July 4, 2022 at 11:07 pm

    Would this be ok if there were African/Arab/Latino?

  40. J B on July 4, 2022 at 11:11 pm

  41. Eddie Khoaseb on July 4, 2022 at 11:11 pm

    This people are satanic.A church don’t need membership to worship.

  42. Simple Ways on July 4, 2022 at 11:11 pm

    Respect to the Church gowers

  43. Byron on July 4, 2022 at 11:11 pm

    I think people should just be proud of the nation they’re from, and leave race out of it as not all people share the same ideas whether you’re from England or France for example.
