A "pro-white" town manager wants races to separate, rails against Islam, refuses to quit

Not many people have heard of Jackman, a small Maine town of fewer than 1,000 people not far from the Canadian border.

That was until this week, when media outlets began publishing stories about Jackman’s town manager, a 37-year-old transplant from Arizona who seemed unequivocal about his views that Islam has no place in the Western world and, as he told the Bangor Daily News, that Americans would be better off if people of different races “voluntarily separate.”

Tom Kawczynski told the Bangor paper that he’s against bringing people from other countries and cultures to the United States. He also said he is not racist and argued that one can be “pro-white” without harboring hate against people of other races. After he moved to Maine a year ago, he started a group called New Albion, which, according to its website, promotes “traditional western values emphasizing the positive aspects of our European heritage and uniquely American identity.”

Kawczynski’s views have since been met with backlash. In a statement posted on Facebook on Saturday, the Jackman-Moose River Region Chamber of Commerce called the town manager’s views “shocking and offensive” and said employees like Kawczynski are not asked about their religion or views on race and politics during job interviews.
