Dude? The whites...weren&#039;t here...first? So...in effect, America did not start out as a European majority. (See there were these red people once...) Because it is not the same continent.

		<description><![CDATA[FARRAHAN notes on..when are we going to be taught more about the Organization that Farrahkan and his followers are apart of. I think it is Black Supremamcy and yet I hardly see anything of significance on this subject. 
I have also asked several times now that in the articles on this site when the Editor speaks of minorityes, of WHOM is he speaking of WHO is the minority or minorities that he speak of? The SPLC speak out on behalf of minoritites but again WHO ARE THESE MINORITIES? Do you support only minorties of long ago or who the minorties really is today? Also why do you speak out on White Supremamcy yet you do not speak out about other Supremacy such as black, Hispanic groups and much more.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Mike

You are certainly right about one thing, sir. CCC is not a white supremacist group because SPLC says so. CCC is a white supremacist group because the CCC itself says so. This is an exact quote from the &quot;statement of principles&quot;:

&quot;We believe the United States is a European country and that Americans are part of the European people. We believe that the United States derives from and is an integral part of European civilization and the European people and that the American people and government should remain European in their composition and character. We therefore oppose the massive immigration of non-European and non-Western peoples into the United States that threatens to transform our nation into a non-European majority in our lifetime.  We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people through so-called “affirmative action” and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races.&quot;

I am not part of SPLC and cannot speak for the organization of Mr. Dees. However, I don&#039;t see anyone here refusing your right to free speech.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The most important part of this story wasn&#039;t mentioned.  Barbour is not just an &#039;obscure Governor&#039; but someone reliably reported to be already tuning up a Presidential Campaign in 2012 -- and with the gonadal disintegration of Mark Sanford and John Ensign, has become the only important Southern Candidate in the race.  For President Obama to be faced with someone at least close to the CofCC would be a delightful thought to those of us who see the Republicans going the way of the Federalists and wish they&#039;d &#039;hurry up already.&#039;]]></description>

Hmmm. Does Chassaniol not understand what a career in PUBLIC service means exactly?

It&#039;s really sad, really, to finally understand that a bit of this is just desperation - an attempt to hold on to a failed &quot;reality.&quot; My particular concern is for the spawn of these individuals, who when, in adulthood, after the &quot;elders&quot; are gone, find themselves so marginalized and deluded and lonely, they turn to tragic remedies to reconcile with the true reality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And speaking of the so-called &quot;tea party&quot; movement, it&#039;s worth knowing that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=American_Family_Association&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the so-called &quot;American Family Association&quot; (itself based out of Tupelo, MS)&lt;/a&gt; has called a new round of &quot;tea parties&quot; for the July 4th holiday.

And are promoting such as being one with the defence (or so the AFA thinks) of G-d, Country and Family Values (in the last instance, the AFA&#039;s preferred model being White Low Church Christian such, IMHO).

How many of this new series of &quot;tea parties&quot; are going to be attracting the weird and unwholesome from the ranks of &quot;True American&quot; and &quot;patriot&quot; Zealotry and True Belief? (The prospect will be well worth watching, especially among such pushing racist and nativist views and articles of faith.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a Millsaps alumni, when I saw this article I was on the verge of firing off an e-mail to one of the College Board of Regents asking him what the [Cheney] was going on there that the school was letting the White Citizens Council hold their organizational meetings there. After that I was going to work on starting a donors&#039; boycott. Because there are plenty of cow pastures they can hold their meetings in, they don&#039;t need to be meeting on the Millsaps campus.

Then I realized that the Cabot Lodge is a hotel that is located on part of the Millsaps Campus and I believe the last I heard the college leases the land to the hotel. They do advertise themselves as &quot;Cabot Lodge Millsaps&quot;. But the hotel is not run by the college.

Millsaps, a Methodist liberal arts college, was rather ridiculously known as a &quot;radical&quot; school in the 1960s because they integrated before being forced to do so by the courts. The school is proud of its high academic standards and its progressive reputation on race.

The hotel wasn&#039;t there when I was in school. But I sure that if we&#039;d had gotten wind that the White Citizens Council was meeting there, there would have been a counter-demonstration. It wouldn&#039;t surprise me at all, though, if the White Citizens Council (I still call them by their more descriptive earlier name) didn&#039;t select that hotel specifically to tarnish the Millsaps name a bit.]]></description>
