- Go to White Supremicists Lack Humanity
While I'm of the belief that "people is people", and hence can't quite fathom "supremicist" philosophies, sometimes, I get a feeling that they have a point. Most often, they are reacting against "affirmative action" for other races, creeds or whatever - affirmative action, too often, is reverse discrimination.
I don't condone violence or murder or segregation. But I can remember one time when I was given a tour around Washington, DC, by someone I thought was open minded about hings like race, and, for years after, I was almost as "supremicist" as the worst of the breed.
It took a lot of soul searching to find the key to where it came from - the anger, etc. only came out in certain conditions, which meant that it was not obvious in most situations. But it scared the hell out of me that, despite being extremely dispassionate in everything else, there were people (of different race) who could trigger this unreasoned loathing.
So, I can understand the existence of the hatred. I just don't understand why people don't look for the root inside themselves that will get them past it.

Arch -- Racism of Any Stripe
...will find no safe harbor among people of sound thinking.
I read the linked article. I find a chilling parallel between the comments left on the supremist message boards and the Christian definition of God. That is, white supremists will kill to maintain purity and ensure their survival. Likewise, God will kill any sinful souls because He cannot abide such impurity and must ensure His survival. If God doesn't have to ensure His own survival then why claim that the wages of sin is death?
