Website: http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=13664 Description: A reader from Pennsylvania wrote in recommending the Paoli Memorial site west of Philadelphia. He read the four questions on the participation page and answers as follows:
I want you to consider the Paoli Memorial at Malvern, Pennsylvania, commemorating the “Paoli Massacre” and Battlefield of 1777.
Of your questions:
1. 100% in my observation. I’m sure a few others go there from time-to-time as it is a public space with tables and a playground nearby.
2. It was an atrocity that galvanized public opinion in favor of the American cause and it was a principled sacrifice – the killed could have merely sworn allegiance to George and all would have been forgiven. They did not.

Website: http://www.nbcolympics.com/ Description: I meant to post this last week, but I ‘ve been doing some traveling and could not get to it. It should be obvious to the readers of this blog that the Winter Olympics are the biggest (implicit) White sporting event in the world. Every four years we have a chance to watch the beautiful European athletes compete. (Steve Sailor commented on this theme recently.) In our multicultural age the Winter Olympics are an anachronism; so far “they” paper it over by highlighting at every opportunity the achievements of the non-Europeans. The last time it took place, in 2006, I happened to be visiting some like minded friends. The Winter Olympics was on the tv in the background and I commented to my friends that some day the powers-that-be will try to abolish it altogether.
Website: http://www.nhl.com/ Description: It was reported this week that somebody is trying to create an all White professional basketball league. Why bother to go to the trouble? A better solution is to watch and support professional hockey instead. It’s already all White. And I might add, hockey is more entertaining because it requires more skill. Really, how hard is it to dunk a basketball when you are seven feet tall? The rim is only 10 feet high. Aside from all the criminal behavior among the players, basketball is boring.
Website: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4s0nzsU1Wg Description: A friend sent me a link to this video over a year ago, around the same time I started working on this project. It is a pure expression of implicit Whiteness. I forgot about it until it came on the radio the other day. Enjoy.

Website: http://www.tiptopmeats.com/ Description: A Gazetteer reader from California says, “A less obvious place, but where a lot of European-Americans gather, is a restaurant, Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad, CA, which offers generous portions of mostly German food at a reasonable price, and has a European grocery attached to it (a bit pricey, but good selection). I’ve been there a number of times, and each time the vast majority of patrons are EA. And the food is great! My only quibble is that some of the help is Hispanic/Latino. But other than that, it’s great.”

Ourgazetteer.org was established to enumerate the vast array of implicit European American communities and in particular to find physical space where we can feel safe to voice our own identity. The theoretical framework that supports the site is described in "Discovering Implicit White Communities, Part 1," published in The Occidental Observer on November 14, 2009. The application of the theory, in the form of this site, is described in "Discovering Implicit White Communities, Part 2," published on November 15, 2009.
