The man at the center of white supremacy displays in Ulysses has spoken out.

Residents complained to borough officials last month about Dan Burnside’s display of Swastikas, flags and other items at his property on State Street, but Borough Council President Roy Hunt told The Era on Friday that Burnside has not been violating any borough ordinances. Hunt said Burnside’s displays fall in line with freedom of speech.

Some individuals grasp what the first amendment means, said Burnside, who is the director of the National Socialist Movement’s for region two.

He said he does not know who lodged the complaints, “but chances are good that it is the same people that drive foreign cars, clueless as to the American (all races) jobs it affects. And worse than bigotry, they turn their back on their own.”

Burnside said his displays reach at least 40 nations, minimum, thanks to social media.

“The plan for Potter County and the NSM is the same: Recruitment, awareness and keeping this a predominately white area,” Burnside told The Era previously.

The white supremacy movement has been seen in Potter County throughout the years. In the early 2000s Ulysses had been the site of the Aryan World Congress, which included skinheads, Klansmen, neo-Nazis and white power bands. And in 2016, the Aryan Strikeforce and National Socialist Movement had a presence in Potter County.
