Hate Groups Claim Obama Win is Sparking Recruitment Surge
Even as they rail against the election of the nation’s first black president, some white supremacist leaders are claiming that people have flocked to their organizations since Barack Obama’s victory.
“The League of the South is reporting a surge in new members within hours of the results from yesterday’s elections,” proclaimed an E-mail that the neo-Confederate group sent to supporters the day after the election. “League president, Dr. Michael Hill, stated that it is from an awakening of many Southerners that the constitutional Republic is now dead and has been replaced with a national socialist empire.”
Don Black, who runs the leading white supremacist hate site Stormfront.org, boasted in an online post Wednesday afternoon that his website was seeing six times its usual traffic. “There are a lot of angry White people out there looking for answers,” he wrote. “Let’s show them. We will not be defeated.”
Hate groups are notorious for inflating their numbers — and it’s likely that their claims of heightened support after Obama’s win are exaggerated. Nonetheless, the fact that they are making those claims suggests that many white supremacists believe an Obama presidency will help them recruit new members.
Thomas Robb, leader of an Arkansas-based Ku Klux Klan group, announced on his blog that Obama had become America’s first “mulatto” president, then invited readers to click on a link for an application to join The Knights Party. “If you want to do something to help provide a future for you [sic] children then you need to become part of a movement working for our people. We are not asking you to hate anyone! We are not asking you to commit an illegal act. We are not asking you to hurt anyone. We just want you to love your people and do that which your grandfathers did — give your children a bright future.”
The pitches of other white supremacists were more subtle but no less urgent. “We as European Americans have got to rally for our own heritage, our own freedom, our own survival as a people,” exhorted former Ku Klux Klan boss David Duke. “And if we don’t do that — and if we don’t begin now to build a real movement, a dedicated movement for our rights and our heritage — we’re going to lose everything that’s important to us and vital to us.” (In an essay he wrote this summer, Duke predicted that an Obama win would make whites see that their country was in dire straits.)
Billy Roper, chairman of the neo-Nazi group White Revolution, predicted that “more and more white Americans [would be] waking up” and instructed followers to be prepared. “[W]e are on the crest of [the storm’s] wave. People will be coming forward, shaking the cobwebs from their numbed minds, and they will need us to lead them.”

It doesn’t frighten me one bit.
Sure, their numbers seem to have garner some degree of support. But that alone is not equivalent to legions who love Barack Obama worldwide. This “prediction” doesn’t frighten me in any way, shape or form. It has been debated for years regarding the growing and the grave threats of White Extreminism.
Why is that people think this is just a “White vs. Black” revolution???
Have they(WNs) forgotten the masses of “Other Americans” and the greater global community at large??? The unity behind Barack Obama is so immense it makes the poor WNs look fatuous. Even most of my Native comrades would be willing die for Barack Obama. And to have the WNs destroy the hope, our Democracy, our Freedom is the last thing we need. I know Barack Obama is a very intelligent, articulated man and boosting the law enforcement agency is a high priority and a National Security.
I doubt the WNs will harm him but there is no doubt that they will make up the majority of prison population in the coming days.
Which is why we`re all prepared for that day when the WNs will do the stupidities they also do. And it will be:
“A good day to die.”

The League of the South is not a “hate-group”.
Republican carpet baggers, leftover neocon trash, will be hard pressed to find out that the League of the South is first and foremost an ANTI-ZIONIST organization (the most important characteristic at which SPLC considers a group “hate”-ful), at which point these neocon carpetbaggers will scatter back towards the safety of establishment in Obama, back to any mainstream SPLC approved party that worships the modern day jewish people, for they are proud “goyim-cattle”.
The neocons would rather have Obama than anti-zionism anyday. Once they know what the “hate-groups” are about, not simple minded racism, but hatred of zionism and American imperialism, they will do a 180 towards Obama.
on November 6th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
How much longer before the GOP unwittingly finds out that their agenda is being co-opted by racists and white supremacists seeing an opportunity to “mainstream” their message by “working within the system,” as it were?
on November 6th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
The purported new registered “members” touted in hated sites like “Stormfront.org” are not all American citizens. That site has acquiired “new members” from folks in foreign countries, which is exactly why you’re seeing a surge of new members in Stormfront. Really that’s nothing to promulgate about.
on November 6th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
The majority has spoken. These people need to get over it.
What on earth difference does a person’s skin color make? It’s absurd.
on November 6th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Obama won fair and square in a free election. Numbskulls like Duke are just aching to get their names in the paper again.
And since they encouraged their supporters not to vote, wouldn’t they be partially responsable for the outcome?
on November 6th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
I’ll tell you that, shortly after Barrack’s acceptance speech, I did visit Stormfront–to find out what the nut jobs were thinking. The site was so overwhelmed with hits, that the server had gone down. Not so sure he was exaggerating the numbers, but at least some of the hits were for those of us who just want to keep tabs on what the nut jobs are doing.
on November 6th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Actually a lot of people might be checking out those sites just to see the reaction of Neo-Nazis. I went to VNN this morning to read a few of their butthurt-filled rants. LULZ were found in abundance. I might start up an account just to troll them.
BTW- Never concern yourself with SF’s numbers- the vast majority of significant posting is done by about 25 people at best. The rest are people that just add a comment here and there, and then thousands of inactive accounts. And if that wasn’t enough, look at SF’s membership numbers, then Google some forums about cooking, cats, or comic books. Compare the membership numbers.
on November 6th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
hi there guys:)
Those extremists are absolutely nuts and I feel that the rest of Americans, fed up with fear tactics, being shot down and threatened, shall form a much better alliance than any of those hate mongers could come up with namely: the Alliance of Yes we Can, new beginnings and an America we can be proud of*
Congratulations with electing this phenomenal man, Barack Obama, as the new President of the United States of America.
At last intelligence has ruled and Americans have shown a heart!
on November 6th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
42 white presidents and can’t go a few days without throwing a tantrum like stupid children when the cycle is finally broken. WAAAAAAH WHITE POWER-LESS WAAAAAAAAH
on November 6th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
What’s funny is that other than some radical white empowerment groups I have not heard much backlash from people as a whole (especially whites) about Obama being elected. Oddly enough I have heard MANY people brag about the country’s first “African-American” president. How come all blacks have to brag on that some much instead of bragging on the fact that we have an intelligent person to step into the oval office? Of course I live in the south and an area plagued with black on white discrimination and terrible black hatred toward whites so not once have I heard what a wonderful president he will be, just that he is a black president.
Sorry folks but where I live it is not white oppresion or hatred toward blacks but rather the other way around. That is where racial diversity begins, not in the homes, work places, malls etc of predominantly white communities as oversensationalised by the media. The black population of this country needs to look from within if they want racial harmony, from what I see the moral white community has been ready for it for a long time but it is not allowed to happen due to the hatred from the other side. Don’t believe it? Come live in the south a while near a predominantly black area and try to be white!!

G.H.
Don’t try and reason with these people. They are Marxists, and Marxists tolerate NO dissent whatsoever. They would just as soon see you jailed or killed.
Believe me, they hate you.
on November 7th, 2008 at 5:16 am
There is a reason to “brag” about an African American in the White House- namely that all that discrimination didn’t just end some time in the 60s. In fact, race baiting was a major part of this recent campaign- but in this case, it actually failed for once.
on November 7th, 2008 at 10:52 am
The country is better off without these nutjobs. Obama will open many doors and show the world what a true America is really about. Its time to think big now.
on November 7th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
It’s amusing that the fool who wrote this article put the word mulatto in quotes.
The word mulatto accurately describes Obama according to its definition.
There are others like communist, demagogue and empty suit that are better.
The republic is now dead. Enjoy your party bringing the U.S. down to the third world level.
Once you fools destroy everything and the whole U.S. looks like Detroit, who are you going to turn to?
The white man of European ancestry built this country, that is why it was such a success.
Now you have a Kenyan in charge. If you take a look at Kenya you have a pretty good idea of what the U.S. will look like soon.
God help us!
on November 7th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Ah, there you are Joe/Jay: gone to another editorial to enlighten everyone with your vomit.
God help us indeed! PS dont you have a job?
on November 7th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Al Champagne, you write *they encouraged their followers not to vote* but I think the truth was:
These followers *could* not vote because most of them were either in jail or never learned to read and write. Not for nothing they are called numbskulls!
on November 7th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Joe/Jay: america is already a 3rd world country thanks to Bush. America is bankrupt, did you get it?? BANKRUPT. So once again you say things that are entirely wrong, untrue and a blatant lie. Further, Obama is American and is born in Hawaii.
Funny how you roam from one place to the next and say the same things over and over..a bit of a screw loose you have?
on November 8th, 2008 at 1:39 am
Wow, Joe, I have been searching for Obama’s Communist writings for a long time, ever since I heard the guy being labeled a ‘Marxist’, and to this day I can’t find them. Since I don’t live in the US anymore and I don’t watch TV, I missed any speeches he might have made about socializing the means of production, abolishment of private property, introduction of a central committee, democratic centralism, etc. Perhaps you can direct me to the proper sources of his Communist writings?
Although I have to tell you, it is rather strange how all those corporations donated millions of dollars to a man you say is a Communist. Corporations aren’t known for supporting Communists.
Just out of curiosity, after 4 years, if no significant negative change as a result of Obama’s policies occurs, will it change your views on racial determinism? Because it is a rather irrational idea to believe that a black president is somehow going to ruin the nation. The state of the nation is determined by many factors outside of the control of the president.
So I take it from your message that if the US DOESN’T look like Kenya soon, you will abandon your views on race right?
on November 8th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
He who signed himself “Lazar Kaganovich” writes:
May I remind all that Communism calls for the use of force and violence among the Working Classes as the means towards the end; viz., worker control of industry.
No wonder those screaming the “Obama is a closet Marxist” meme have no clear understanding or comprehension of Communism’s articles of faith save such from the Fox Prolefeed/John Bircher brand of oversimplification.
on November 9th, 2008 at 9:19 am
I wonder if Obama’s election has caused a membership increase in other hate groups, like the Black Congressional Delegation, ADL, MEChA, LULAC, NAACP, etc?
Has Obama’s old Black Supremacist church seen as increase in attendance?
on November 9th, 2008 at 9:23 am
Hi there Godefrieda,
“Those extremists are absolutely nuts …”
Do you approve that Obama attended a racism church for 20 years? Do you consider the people that attend that church “extremists” too?
:)
on November 9th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Aslan,
Obvious you haven’t lived in US for a while and for someone who hasn’t watched TV seems to know a whole lot about Obama and his campaign. Curious???
In any event, we will see what happens in 4 years and the whole world can judge what race relations are like here. Memphis alone has had four random murders, one actually caught on video, where it was blacks against the world just since the election. In a rando act of violence a black man walked into a corner neighborhood market, shot a 68 year old Vietnamese man and another employee of the store then turned around and walked out without touching the cash drawer etc. Next night a 52 year old white man was shot at his home, through the door, by a black man who then simply walked away and disappeared into the night.
It is not what Obama plans to do, not what the government will turn in to but what the people as a whole will do.
Born and raised in Memphis, Tn I had to give up the town I loved and called home in fear of my life and safety in the early 90′s because a black man was elected mayor. Before that everyone seemd to get along pretty well. In his campaign he taunted equality for all and what he would do as mayor to better the city and it’s race relations. Next day after election every word out of his mouth was hatred toward whites and what he could do to better Memphis for the “African-American community”. Now with almost 20 years in office his platform in the latest election was hatred toward all groups other than blacks. He was on the TV many times during the last election stating “Memphis is a predominantly black community and we ain’t goin nowhere, if you don’t like it then leave”. That is still archived in video history for proof so when you get a minute pull up stats on Memphis,Tn and see how the balance of race has changed in the past 18 years as well as crime stats, jobless rates, gross per capita income etc. While you are at it pull up all you can find on the current mayor and watch the videos of his hatred, then multiply that times billions and see what the US COULD be in four years if Obama shares the same objective as the mayor of Memphis.
Once again, I will repeat myself, the whites appear to be ready for racial unity nationwide. Let’s see if the blacks really are or if they just want supremacy. There are many places in this vast and great land that someone can go if they want to live amongst their own, no matter what race you are, so if racial unity is not in your plan of life then find one of those areas and go hate all you want but stop screwing it up for the rest of us.
By the way, let’s not forget that America is not simply black and white, there are many others here. If we continue to battle over civil rights and who is right or wrong between blacks and whites there will never be a land of the free and home of the brave again.
on November 9th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
G.H.,
“Obvious[sic] you haven’t lived in the U.S. for awhile and for someone who hasn’t watched tv seems to know a whole lot about Obama and his campaign.”
Wow(sigh)…
That’s gotta be the dumbest comment posted on this forum.
Hey! Haven’t you ever heard of the INTERNET?! How about the satalite TV?
Also, for your ill-informed info. Asian Maskadov was born and raised in the U.S. He explained this in another forum today. He fully understands how US political drama works and he knows his game more than you will ever know.
“Whites appear to be ready for racial unity nationwide.”
And who are you speaking for again? Which “Whites” are you referring to??? The last time I checked. White Supremacists and groups like them are crying for segregationsim and nationalism. That’s not “racial unity” to begin with.
“Lets see if Blacks really are or if they just want supremacy.”
Have you not notice the large crowd in Chicago where Obama has given his victory speech???
Better yet, did you not notice the Obama/Biden campaign rallys which has drawn a far more diverse crowd than that of McCain/Palin???
“Once again I will repeat myself.”
Please don’t reiterate youself. I think everybody is tired of hearing the same old antiquated blathers of yesterdays. The bigotries of the last century is as old as time itself. Its like an old western movie I feel not proud of. So leave it be.
Thank you.

“Have you not notice the large crowd in Chicago where Obama has given his victory speech???

That’s because non-Whites were racist against McCain.
on November 9th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
None of the crime you write about constitutes some display of black “unity” or blacks against everyone else. Major factors influencing crime are poverty and population density. If you look at crime statistics and control for income and density(in other words, compare blacks and whites living in similar areas with roughly the same income range), their crime rates are basically identical.
Not to mention that Eastern Europe is full of lily-white countries that have crime that would shock the average ghetto resident(keep in mind they don’t choose to live in such places). Yet you need only to look at these places prior to 1989 to see that they had virtually no crime whatsoever, and people were far more civil to one another on every level. So what changed? Economics, plain and simple. Not simply money, but opportunity, stability, security, etc.
on November 9th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
“That’s because non-Whites were racist against McCain.”
Hmm…..that’s funny, because McCain/Palin never appealed or attempted to reach out to the rather large non-White American voters. Which makes up more than half of the U.S. population(as registered voters).
Could this signify that Obama is more unprecedented in any way??? Is that why he is able to garner a “flawless” victory because he is innovative??? I certainly think so. And coming to think of it, I firmly believe he can “unite” the American people a lot better than John McCain. As a matter of facto, he has already united Americans in terms of race, which is exactly why his crowds was more diverse and united than McCain`s groupies.
Could it be that White Supremacists in Palin/Paul are not so willing to unite??? Judging by the people who attended Palin`s and Ron Paul rallys tells me this otherwise……
on November 9th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
“Hmm…..that’s funny, because McCain/Palin never appealed or attempted to reach out to the rather large non-White American voters.”
- He did by supporting amnesty, but it didn’t help him much.
“Which makes up more than half of the U.S. population(as registered voters).”
- I think non-Whites are less than half of registered voters.
“Is that why he is able to garner a ‘flawless’ victory because he is innovative??? ”
- What on earth is a “flawless victory”?
“Could it be that White Supremacists in Palin/Paul are not so willing to unite???”
- There are White Supremacists inside of Palin/Paul?
on November 9th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
A flawless victory means winning the round without taking any damage whatsoever. Damn, don’t you know ANYTHING?!
on November 9th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
“He did by supporting amnesty, but it didn’t help him much.”
So you’re implying that he was merely seeking the “illegal” vote rather than the legions of African-American, Hispanic-American and other minority voters who opposed illegal immigration??? Then why did the White Supremacists backed him anyway??? That’s sounds a bit hypocritical don’t you think???
“I think the non-Whites are less half of the registered voters.”
If that was the case. Certainly we would being seeing John McCain as the president-elect.
“What on earth is “flawless victory?”
His victory proves that Democracy, Freedom and Opportunity is far greater than bigotry, racism and favoritism.
” There are White Supremacists inside of Palin/Paul?’
‘Inside of Palin/Paul’? Its possible….
But there were WNs at their rallies.
Ron Paul has connections to Bill White.
on November 9th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Ryan,
Notice, unlike the “non-Aryan” I did not post my race?? Make you wonder? See if you can guess it. I am afraid that your narrow minded view of the world through noir eyes will skew your judgement though. Keep on hating, it will help this United States greatly!!
I, in fact did see the large white, Latino, Hispanic, Asian and so on crowd at the Chicago acceptance ceremony for Obama. Just more proof that there are many whites ready to see the past be the past and move forward who are reminded daily that “they” made slaves of “them”. What is hilarious about that is that slavery was abolished at the end of the Civil War by Lincoln and each slave was given 100 acres of land to start their new life on. Therefore, the modern day slavery that exists is not whites owning blacks any more so how is that this generation is responsible for what happened a very long time ago?
There is not enough hard drive space om the SPLC server for me to speak of the atrocities that my ancestry has suffered and oppression that occurs to this day yet my people aren’t looking for their “payback”, we are going on with life and making the best of it. Realizing that the world can be ours but we have to work for it and hard work will be rewarded. Get off of it and move on, the past is the past.
Yes, I have heard of the internet and if what is on there is true then Obama is a blazen Muslim worshipping Allah morning, noon and night. His birth certificate is a fake, he associates with known terrorists and all of his campaiogn money came from Bin Laden! So, if all the facts and data that Aslan speaks of here are derived from the internet then he unfortunately must be very confused. He is however invited to come back to the southern US, spend a few years here and then pass judgement.
Don’t even start on poverty, please. I think Obama has made a clear statement that he drug himself from being a welfare child in the custody of his poor grandmother to being not only the President of the US but a Havard Law grad. Must have saved a lot of food stamps to pay for that one!! The opportunities exist for anyone in this country who wants to get off their ass and work! Don’t believe it just check out the nationality and/or lineage of the majority of MD’s in the US. So, I guess it is OK to go take someone else’s car because you are poor? OK to rob the store that someone has toiled over for many years and shoot the owner because you are poor? Someone has their stastics wrong, the ratio of non-whites to whites in US prisons is alarming considering that at this point there are still more whites nationwide than non-whites. Numbers speak for themselves and poverty being the cause!! Whatever!
on November 10th, 2008 at 7:35 am
Aslan,
“A flawless victory means winning the round without taking any damage whatsoever. Damn, don’t you know ANYTHING?!”
No, I don’t. I’m looking to you to edumacate me. Thanks.
on November 10th, 2008 at 7:45 am
Ryan,
“So you’re implying that he was merely seeking the “illegal” vote rather than the legions of African-American, Hispanic-American and other minority voters who opposed illegal immigration???”
- He’s probably actually in the pocket of certain businesses, but that doesn’t stop him pandering to “people of color”.
“Then why did the White Supremacists backed him anyway??? That’s sounds a bit hypocritical don’t you think???”
- Why did non-White Supremacists back Obama? “White Supremacist” is a bogus term. But regardless, are you saying that David Duke backed him?
“If that was the case. Certainly we would being seeing John McCain as the president-elect.”
- Many Whites voted for Obama.
“His victory proves that Democracy, Freedom and Opportunity is far greater than bigotry, racism and favoritism.”
- Oh really? Obama attended a racist church for 20 years. Racist non-Whites picked Obama over McCain at a ratio of 5 to 1. 98% of Blacks voted for Obama. Racism? Bigga-Tree? It shows Obama won because of it.
“‘Inside of Palin/Paul’? Its possible….
But there were WNs at their rallies.
Ron Paul has connections to Bill White.”
- There may have been WNs at Obama rallies. “Connections”? Please.
on November 11th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Obama’s church was not racist. It’s not racist to point out social injustice.
on November 11th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Who really cares? What’s done is done. No matter what the Skin-heads or KKK do they can’t change the fact that Obama is and will go down in History as the 44th President. It’s about time that white Americans-myself included at times-get over ourselves and see that we’re not the supreme leaders of America and that’s it’s called “democracy” for a reason.
Racism or prejudices may start off harmless but can soon lead to devastating and terrible things, such as in the Holocaust. America is supposed to be the land of the three but for hundreds of years we Caucasians have been overshadowing and suppressing minority groups, blacks, Mexicans, and Muslims alike.
I’m not an Obama fan, more so because of moral issues, but I think it’s a really good idea that our country has a non-white President. All it does is show the world that prejudices don’t have to dominate our lives and that yes, we are capable of change.
on November 12th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Oh, for the love of all that’s holy… will you morons make up your minds? Either Obama’s a Muslim or he went to a “racist church” and followed a “crazy pastor” for 20 years. You can’t have it both ways. Muslim or church, pick a lane. But then again, you’ve never been known for your intelligence or ability to reason. You really are driven by nothing but irrational hate. Totally extremist terrorists who kill to prove that your way is the only way. Bombings, shootings, lynchings… that’s how you operate, then you have the nerve to accuse others of being terrorists simply because of their race or religion? Look in the mirror. You’ll see Satan staring back you. Get used to his face, because you’ll be seeing it a lot when the Earth is finally rid of you.
And I just love the way you all claim to be “Christian,” but you advocate hatred and commit murder… as if Jesus would approve of either. Which reminds me–what Bible do you people read, anyway? I’ve read mine over and over, and still can’t find the part where it says God prefers white, English-speaking Americans and everyone else He created should be exterminated. If you could enlighten me, I’d really appreciate it. You and your kind always insist that your white supremacy schtick is God-related, your superiority is God-given etc., but the closest I can find to your views is in “Mein Kampf.” And of course the Taliban. My Bible must be missing a few chapters, so could you fill in the blanks for me? Much obliged.
on November 12th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Please don’t tell me that you DIDN’T see this coming. This was inevitable.
on November 12th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
This is passing through by email and I can’t say I don’t agree more. I think this sums up the feelings that I have tried to express here. Of course I removed the authors name that was in the email since I am not really sure where it came from but this is quoted from a forwarded email I received today.
“Look at my fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath. Not me. I’m virtually euphoric. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not thrilled with America ’s flirtation with neo socialism. But there’s a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted Barak Obama to the Presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America : The Era of White Guilt is over.
This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn’t give a fluff about skin color, and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively worked with America-hating domestic terrorists. Wow! Some resume! Yet they made Barak Obama their leader. Therefore, as of Nov 4th, 2008, white guilt is dead.
For over a century, the millstone of white guilt hung around our necks, retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the 60s, American liberals began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in the eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a socialist solution. But if a black man can become President, exactly what significant barrier is left? The election of Barak Obama absolutely destroys the entire validation of liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby slain.
So today, I’m feeling a little “uppity,” if you will. From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color hustled is now exactly ZERO. And it’s time to clean house. No more Reverend Wright’s “God Damn America ,” Al Sharpton’s Church of Perpetual Victimization , or Jesse Jackson’s rainbow racism. Cornell West? You’re a fraud. Go home. All those “black studies” programs that taught kids to hate whitey? You must now thank Whitey. And I want that on the final.
Congressional Black Caucus? Irrelevant. Maxine Waters? Shut up. ACORN? Outlawed. Black Panthers? Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists? Find another nation that offers better dreams. Go ahead. I’m waiting.
Gangsta rappers? Start praising America . Begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. And please…no more ebonics. Speak English, and who knows where you might end up? Oh, yeah…pull up your pants. Your underwear is showing. You look stupid.
To those Eurosnots who forged entire careers hating America ? I’m still waiting for the first black French President.
And let me offer an equal opportunity whupping. I’ve always despised lazy white people. Now, I can talk smack about lazy black people. You’re poor because you quit school, did drugs, had three kids with three different fathers, and refuse to work. So when you plop your Colt 45-swilling, Oprah watchin’ butt on the couch and complain “Da Man is keepin’ me down,” allow me to inform you: Da Man is now black. You have no excuses.
No more quotas. No more handouts. No more stealing my money because someone’s great-great-great-great grandparents suffered actual pain and misery at the hands of people I have no relation to, and personally revile.
It’s time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle machine upon the heap of the other stupid 60s ideas. Drag it over there, by wife swapping, next to dope-smoking. Plenty of room right between free love and cop-killing. Careful…don’t trip on streaking. There ya go, don’t be gentle. Just dump it. Wash your hands. It’s filthy.
In fact, Obama’s ascension created a gargantuan irony. How can you sell class envy and American unfairness when you and your black wife went to Ivy League schools, got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a mansion, and got elected President? How unfair is that??? Now, Like a delicious O’Henry tale, Obama’s spread-the-wealth campaign rendered itself moot by it’s own victory! America is officially a meritocracy. Obama’s election has validated American conservatism!
So, listen carefully…Wham!!!
That’s the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt. The rites have been muttered, the carcass lowered, dirt shoveled, and tombstone erected. White guilt is dead and buried.
However, despite my glee, there’s apparently one small, rabid bastion of American racism remaining. Black Americans voted 96% for Barak Obama. Hmmm. In a color-blind world, shouldn’t that be 50-50? Tonight, every black person should ask forgiveness for their apparent racism and prejudice towards white people. Maybe it’s time to start spreading the guilt around. “

It’s pretty funny when an essay that is intended to disprove widespread racism in America is chock full of- racism! If the author truly believes what is in these words, I wonder how they would act if they were in a position to grant a job or loan to a black applicant?

Amazing how these nutbags can equate voting for a black president with centuries of enslavement, discrimination, subjugation and murder. Yup, we’re all square now! We’ve treated you like crap for years, and you retaliated by… voting for a black man. Even Steven! The slate is wiped clean!
Thank God I can’t comprehend their thought process. Just hearing what spews from it is more than enough insanity for me to deal with.

See what I mean! I guess all whites should turn themselves into the nearest black family and become their slaves. Would that please all the hate mongering idiots out there who want to keep drudging up the past and creating new hatred in the new generations? What’s done is done and unfortunately the sensible people of today cannot undo what the people before us in this country have done. Notice I didn’t say “our ancestors”? I wish everyone would do as I have and trace their lineage, many blacks would find out that none of their family tree were ever slaves! Just as many whites would find that NONE of their ancestors ever owned another human being!
What would please you Laurie? Continued hatred between blacks and whites? Enslavement of all whites for retribution? Trillions of dollars in retribution from the governments of the world to all living heirs to slavery victims?
What is really scary is that you missed the whole message. What EVERYONE should want now is equality of all races worldwide without the hatred between any races which is not what God intended when he created the multitudes of races.
The message sent by the election of a bi-racial president by the largest, most powerful conuntry in the world shouts from the mountain tops that they have reached the promise land. I am sure Martin Luther King is looking upon the world now with tears in his eyes as well and has enough sense to realize that we have arrived.
Sure there are idiots out there who will continue to discriminate but guess what, they aren’t all white! So in your mentality two wrongs will eventually, ones of these years when blacks feel redeemed, make a right?? Get over it and move on! I have been discriminated against and rather than cry about it, dwell on it and lose sleep over it I simply removed myself from situations that can cause that. At worst that is what happens today and look what Barack Obama did about it! He shook off the haters, got himself through college, elevated himself and his family to prominence and made history. If he had sat around waiting on retribution from whites he would be sitting in a ghetto somewhere right now saying he could never be anybody because whitey has their foot on his neck!!
Oh, speaking of murder, search the crime stats in the US, more blacks killed by blacks in the past 20 years than during all of the years slavery happened here. Oh, sorry I guess that was a racist statement as well. Oh, please!!

What would please me? No more nonsense like that email. Like the idea that black Americans voting for a black candidate is any more racist than white Americans voting for white candidates. And the idea that this election “erases” everything that’s happened. That’s the part that’s really ridiculous. It doesn’t erase it any more than a prison sentence “erases” the fact that you killed someone.
Thankfully not all white people are like you. Do I have “white guilt”? You bet your a$$ I do. Any decent white person feels guilty for the atrocities done to our black brothers and sisters in the name of our mythical “superiority.” Does that mean I think black people should automatically be pushed to the head of the line in everything, or whites should be enslaved etc.? Don’t be absurd.
What I do think, and what would please me, is that all you racists would stop with your leaflets and your hoods and your killings and your racist graffiti and your discrimination and your threats and your insults. Just STOP. Stop spreading your contrived horror stories and spewing your bogus statistics about the fatal threat posed to the existence of the white man and our “white society” by the big bad n-word. Stop whipping up fear and hatred of anyone who isn’t white. Let it go. For the love of the God you claim to worship–the God who lovingly created all people of all races and creeds–LET IT GO.

“When you teach a man to hate and fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color, or his beliefs, or the policies he pursues; when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom, or your job, or your home, or your family, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens, but as enemies; to be met not with cooperation, but with conquest; to be subjugated and mastered.”

Gee, that has got to be the worst hypocritical, prejudice and racist verbal puke I have ever heard!! The comments you have made hear are very confusing and quite contradictory so at this point I am not sure what to think except that I can see clearly that you must live somewhere that there is no reverse discrimination where blacks make it clear that they are “owed” something because of history.
What is so comical about that is that none of the living, breathing blacks were ever slaves, at least I don’t think there are any left over a couple hundred years old?? The point is that EVERYONE has the same opportunities now and that is what this election has clearly stated.
I have not personally once said that this election eradicates the fact that slavery happened. It did happen and it was horrible but that was MANY generations ago. There are many blacks alive today who remember when they had separate bathrooms, weren’t allowed in white restaraunts, had to go to the back of the bus etc but they are also proud that all of that is gone. Are they sad it happened, do they harbor ill feelings toward whites for it? Most likely and I can’t say that I blame them but the times are different now and we all have equal opportunity to make whatever we want of ourselves, which many have. The ones that dwell on it and are stuck in the early part of this century will always drag society as a whole down with them and keep hatred alive no matter what race they are.
As stated in my earlier postings I see more black on white hatred than white on balck. It is the area I live in and quite frankly it is blacks who want an excuse and want to be held back or they would excel themselves much as Obama has. You must obviously live in a part of the country where everyone gets along and that is just great but relocate yourself to another part of the country where there are large black majorities, stay there a year and then voice your opinion. Better yet, go live as a black, amongst majority black communities, attend their churches, belong to their “peace and justice” organizations and then pass judgement about who is holding who down and who hates who??
I just received the new posting where you quoted JFK and you know that is a powerful statement that I completely forgot about. That should be ran on the front page of every news paper, be the first thing you see on every website, be the opening line for every TV news broadcast and so on for the next 15 years. The reason I say that is there are SO many blacks that teach hatred now it is sickening. My entire point here is for the rest of the country and world to know how bad it actually is. You obviously have no clue and need to broaden your narorw mind to be able to consume what is actually happening in the world around you.

“Thankfully not all white people are like you. Do I have ‘white guilt’? You bet your a$$ I do. Any decent white person feels guilty for the atrocities done to our black brothers and sisters in the name of our mythical ‘superiority.’”
Unless a given person actually owned slaves, they’d be an idiot for have “guilt”! I’ve never owned slaves thus I don’t feel the least bit guilty. Personally I think the whole “guilt” thing is a phony sort of “I’m holier than thou” BS.
As Blacks expanded into Southern Africa they exterminated the Hottentots and Bushmen. I wonder if they feel “guilt”? I’m sure they laugh if you’d ask them! I don’t think Blacks are stupid enough to feel guilty about things they personally didn’t do.

SPLC just won yet another case against the Klan today. And yet you continue to insist this crap no longer exists, times are different now, everyone gets equal treatment, and I’m the one who is clueless. Perhaps YOU need to consume what is actually happening in the world around you. Or at least stop living in denial and admit to it.
In response to your assumption that I don’t live with black people, I live in a part of New York City that is known for being the most ethnically diverse area in the nation. White people are very close to being in the minority, although for financial reasons, I recently moved to a town with a white majority. And my daily life swiftly changed. Suddenly all I heard was race, race, race. After years of diversity, suddenly all I heard was griping and insults about people of color and so-called “illegals” (i.e. anyone with an accent and/or light-brown skin). Yet when I lived in a racially diverse area, where as a plain old white person I was in the minority, everything was cool. Once I moved to a predominantly white area, I felt like I was in the Deep South. I’d get out of here if I could afford it, because I can’t stand the pervasive stench of hatred and racism here.
And it was RFK, not JFK.

By the way, this week alone, a group of white NY teenagers beat and killed a Hispanic man because he was Hispanic. The next day, another NY town woke up to find their cars painted with racist slogans and “Kill Obama” messages. The next day, yet another NY town awoke to find KKK pamphlets in their mailboxes. So don’t tell me that times are so different now. YOU are the one who is out of touch. If this stuff didn’t exist, nor would SPLC. And clearly, both do very much exist.

What a beautiful day for our nation and for mankind, and may we rejoice in the outcomes of last week’s election and of the Kentucky trial.
Thank the dear Lord for brave and dedicated souls who care and who are willing to literally put their lives on the line for the good of our nation and of their fellow man.
If only we could irradicate the fear and ignorance which spawn the mindless hatred and violence which tragically still remain the primary feelings and actions of a sad handful of terrified people living in our beautiful country to this day.
My prayer is that these frightened souls gain the wisdom and knowledge they so desperately need in order to let go of their bullying ways, and that they embrace the joy of respecting and celebrating the opportunity to live in a society which is so richly blessed by the strength and beauty of it’s diversity.
If onlywe could all come to see through the eyes of our fellow man and of our Lord, how free we would become: free of the gnawing fears which are at the bottom of hatred and violence.
Let’s put our energy and passion into a spirit of unity and acceptance and love instead of fear and hatred and violence ~

Ok people! get over it! Barack Obama WON! and unless you can magicaly turn back time and turn all the great things Obama did to win the votes he got fair and square, you cant do anything about i, the president-elect is not going to gie up his office just because you dont like him! OK? why dont you wait four years more and maybe you can run for president and see how far you get.. yeah thats what i think!
on December 5th, 2008 at 11:13 am
These idiots are about to find out some hard Truths. They are not trying to murder Obama they are trying to murder God. For whatever reasons God has allowed Obama to become President he has, people need to respect God and stop living in Hatred. They will pay and it will be their own doing, if these children of Satan dont repent they will bring curses to their own homes and families, I would not want to live on their street or work with them, great castrophies are coming upon them, and they have no one to blame but themselves and all who follow them. God is a God of order and these stiffnecks are living out of order. These idioits are causing “discord and division, disharmony in this Earth”. The will not go unpunished, this will be a time like only seen in the old testament when grounds would open up and swollow entire families, livestock and everything they own. I personally am glad this time is upon the earth because these evildoers have existed too long with retrubution, now they will know if you want to do evil your reward will be evil.
on December 11th, 2008 at 1:28 pm

our president is black.
some of us might not be happy about this but now we cant change the votes.
its not like he is a mass killer.
so yeah.
PEACE. <3

These hate groups are the new minority. Everytime I hear their words of wisdom, I can’t help but chuckle.
The educated people of America know better, and will continue to grow in numbers.
Soon these groups will have to wake up.
on June 29th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
Laurie, you are seriously the biggest fool ever to consider a city where ‘whites are very close to being the minority’ to be one of the most ethnically diverse cities, when the US’s population is 70% of European descent, that city would be the very definition of the opposite to diversity.
Diversity is supposed to be set according to demographics.
Somehow you have been lead to believe in the twisted ideology that only whites talk about ‘others’ when they are around their own entirely, you have no idea how many black supremacists would love to cut your head off for being white. The difference is that whites are conscious of the hate against ‘others’ in their own communities while other groups for the most part are not, and with the current program that has been implemented for minorities to keep them from taking responsiblity, they will never try to do anything about it.
You seriously need some help with your self hate and delusions.
How many whites do you think have been killed because they were white in this country and world wide?
Where is the guilt for that huh?
Get some help and fast!!!!!!
on July 6th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
I am so amazed that I predicted the truth. However, it was not hard to see where we are heading. We (The U.S.) are about to see how far we have NOT come.
It is imperative that people who debate or have an argument state facts instead of letting their hate shine through their words. It makes an individual look like a baby when they make unecessary comments like “The country is being run by a Kenyan.”
1.The United States would not let a man run for president if he is not American.
2. So what! if the state Kenya is in does not live up to our high standards, does that mean someone from that country is not smart?
3. Have you looked in the mirror and figured out whether you are a racist who wants to spew hatred? or if you are a person with valid points that can come up with an intelligent argument as to why Obama should be hated so much when he has not been in office for a single year?
Also, I can recall him saying that he could not make a change ALONE!!! we have to help him…however, there are too many racists and hateful people who would rather see the country fail than to be lead by a black man. Nevermind the fact the he is the best of both worlds. How easily we forget that he would not be alive had it been for his white mother and black father. How easily we forget that most of his voters were white, and how easily we forget that most of just like “McCain” have relatives of other races whether we know them or not.
And those black people who voted for him just because he is black…not smart!! I do understand that this is monumental in black history. However, it is best to display your intelligence in ways that don’t seem childish and ignorant. Would you vote for him if he was a thug?? Being black or white does not make one a perfect cadidate for presidency.
Many people of other races don’t know how much pain black people edure on a regular basis because these people are in their own world where they protect people of their same race and say things like “Oh no, there is no more racism!” I stay away from people like that because that kind of person will hear their friend call a black person a n****r and make an excuse like “oh no he/she didn’t mean it that way!!”
It is amazing that I have heard so many people call Obama names, mock him, and make nasty racial comments; However, these are the same people who are the most patriotic. Our country is said to be founded on God…Hence, the statement on our money “In God we Trust.” or the pledge of Allegience “…One nation under God.” God does not like racism or hatred and he said that we are all made in his own image. So what now??
Black people, just like white people have HELPED to found this country…don’t believe it? do some research. We are not the first founders…
This country was inhabited by Native American’s first and discovered by white men who “founded this country on God?” and hate!!! A contradiction if I have ever seen one.
We are all considered immigrants but some are considered bullies for taking credit for founding a country that was already founded. Then, the very people (blacks) that are hated so much, were brought here against their will…so do you want blacks here or not? or do you only want blacks here if they are slaves???
I heard a white man say to a black man “You could never drive this 2009 Escalade!! You don’t have the smarts! or the right skin color!!”
The black man replied “Tell that to the black man who designed your truck!!!”
As for the individual who talked about living in the south and how most of the hatred comes from blacks…You’re actually funny!! and silly!!! (laugh-out-loud).
I just read an article which I successfully cross referenced. The article talked about the difference between hatred in blacks versus whites. It was said that the blacks who are racist are more than likely that way because of the experiences they have been through with whites. It also said that most white racists are that way because of what they have been taught!
This is not to say that racism from blacks is right or should be condoned!! I say “lead by example.”
I have lived in different places including CT and Alabama! and I have got to say…if you are not black, you will NEVER know the kind of hatred that blacks experience from whites. You are not paying attention to what white people do to blacks, only what is being done to “white people.”
Thing is, we (U.S.A.) will devour ourselves because we are a country that is divided by hatred due to racial indifference, religion, region, and other silly factors that mean nothing at the end of the day.
Try imagining working in the hot sun and being forced to eat worms, do someone’s work work without pay, not be able to get a drink of water when you want, getting whipped, burned, hung, etc…You would not accept it for a second!!
Let’s get smart!!!! wake up!!! When we die these issue will have amounted to nothing!! it’s about where we will go!! heaven or hell.
