The Neo Nazi National Socialist Movement has announced that it will run a candidate for Prez 2008. Will it be Jeff Schoep (pronounced Scoop), their commander?

Olympia will most likely get a look at the man when the NSM rallies on the state capitol steps this July 3rd.

Who needs Nazis...

when you have the Bush Administration? They fight for "freedom" in exactly the same way that they fight for "healthy forests" and "clean skies."

The SPLC defines the Nation

The SPLC defines the Nation of Islam as "black supremacist."

Yes

Yes, they do. The SPLC and other monitoring organizations are really clear that the behavior of a group is what is important.

In simple terms: walks like a supremacist, talks like a supremacist, is a supremacist.

Didja think I was a NOI supporter?

I remember the subject

I remember the subject coming up before and, if I remember correctly, there were some who tried pushing the idea that one has to be "standing on the shoulders of" in order to be racist.

You need to be...

"standing on the shoulders of" in order to be an oppressor. That's why you often see the two terms linked: "racism and oppression." Anybody can be racist -- the basis is most likely an evolved part of psychology that tells us to be afraid of people that are different, and thus a universal characteristic of all humans. But then, so is an attraction to food with high fat and salt contents. We don't have to eat junk food, however. We also don't have to succumb to the tendancy to fear others.
