Neo-Nazis are filmed hurling disgusting racist slurs at black children as young as eight in downtown Nashville

A group of Neo-Nazis have been filmed hurling disgusting racial abuse at a group of black children. 

The incident was caught on camera in Nashville, Tennessee, on July 14 and showed the group, who play music in the city, being abused by a group of men belonging to the Goyim Defense League. 

In the disturbing video, one of the Nazis can be heard telling the youngsters, some of whom are as young as eight-years-old, 'walk around us n*****'. 

The group of kids can be seen crossing the road in the downtown area of the city with their makeshift drums as the group of Nazis laugh at them. 

The men are adorned in t-shirts which read 'Whites Against Replacement', while one man wears a face covering with a swastika emblazoned over it. 

A group of police officers get in between the group of children and the racists, before ushering the kids onwards, which has drawn criticism.

The incident showed the group, who play music in the city, being abused by a group of men belonging to the Goyim Defense League.

The men continue their stomach-churning tirade, continuing: 'Their f***ing n******', while also using other horrific language to describe the children. 

The camera then pans round to one of the neo-Nazis who addresses the camera directly. 

He again continues the racist attack, saying: 'God I love little f***ing monkeys like that, it just shows f****** violent they are at a young age.'

The Goyim Defense League (GDL) was founded by Jon Minadeo II, a failed rapper who was arrested in Poland previously after a vile demonstration outside Auschwitz. 

According to WPLN reporter Paige Southwick Pfleger, the group identified themselves as the Goyim Defense League. 

Pfleger posted on X on the day of the incident involving the children that they group had chanted 'sieg heil' and performed the Nazi salute.

According to News 5, the group of kids had been on there way home from playing drums downtown when they were subjected to the abuse. 

Detonio Wilson, who is just ten years old, was one of the five kids verbally assaulted. 

He told the outlet: 'I feel like it was racist because they were just saying bad words to us. The police wasn't doing anything, just telling us to go home.'

Ashton Lee, a mother of some of the children told News 5 of her disbelief at the racial slurs. 

She told the outlet: 'These kids don't panhandle; they beat on drums, and it's your choice to give them what you have if you want. It's your choice.'

The young children walk to the downtown area carrying buckets that they then use as makeshift drums. 

Representatives Justin Jones and G.A. Hardaway are now calling on state leaders to condemn the behavior. 

Jones said: 'They went for children who were out there by themselves because they thought they could bully them.

'We're going to tell these white supremacists to take that mess somewhere else. We don't want it and ain't going to have it.' 

Jones also asked police chief John Drake for clarity as to the response from the police officers.

A statement from Metro Police said: 'The hatred shouted by the Neo-Nazi group toward the five African-American children who came upon them by coincidence on July 14 is shocking and reprehensible. 

'Officer body camera video shows that members of a police team moved in to de-escalate and walk with the children away from the Neo-Nazi group. 

'One officer told the Neo-Nazis, "They're kids," in an effort to stop the insulting language. 

'When the children started to yell back at the Neo-Nazis, the officer is heard saying several times to the kids, 'Be better than them.' 

'The officers downtown that afternoon were personally offended by the slurs.'

The neo-Nazi group have taken up residence in the Tennessee city for numerous weeks now. 

Their continued presence has sparked hard questions about why Music City is attracting groups amplifying Nazi beliefs and what, if anything, can help stop them.

Rabbi Dan Horwitz, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville, said the city is an amazing place for the Jewish community, and a unity rally Sunday drew hundreds of supporters. 

Yet part of the reason neo-Nazis have picked Nashville could simply be its draw for tourists, he said.

'I'm not surprised that white supremacists would also say, 'Hey, this seems like a fun place that we can go and meet up and get to do our honky-tonking at night'.'

When approached by a WTVF-TV journalist last week and asked 'why did you choose Nashville?' the neo-Nazis didn't provide much more clarity. 

'It's the only place that respects freedom of speech,' said Nicholas Bysheim, a member of the Goyim Defense League. 

The group have also been repeatedly disrupting public meetings of the Nashville-Davidson county metro council.

The city council his introduced measure to try and limit the damage caused by the hate groups, with a bill being introduced to pan local cops from associating with them
