Appreciate the heads up to the source - but in all honesty, I no longer care.

In 2008 there was no way I was supporting Ron Paul due to his refusal to refund $500 from Stormfront founder Don Black. I felt Ron Paul neeeded to distance himself from this type of support.

Then I saw the media excuse Obama’s attendance at the racist Rev Wright’s church for 20 years. I saw the President openly accuse a white police officer of wrongdoing based solely on the color of his skin. I see the lame stream media tell me my criticism of Obama is based in racism - that is the only possible reason for criticism..

Racism is no longer what I grew up believing it to be. I cannot accept a definition of racism that applies only to people of a certain skin color (white). Therefore, I reject all definitions of racism, and do not consider Stormfront to be any more offensive than the Black Panthers, the folks at BET, or Chris Rock doing an HBO special.

I realize that ‘political correctness’ pressures us to resist everything groups like Stormfront tell us - but if Obama can receive support from racists, socialists and communists then I see nothing wrong with Stormfront. Hell, Helen Thomas just expressed some of their views and the leftist media is still singing her praises.

Of course you make some very good points. I personally see little difference between the NAACP, KKK, La RAZA, Nation of Islam, or the Black Panthers (aka Black Klan). Media coverage and promotion are the key issues which is why institutional racism (ie affirmative action, set-asides for selected races and the like) is actually promoted. As Shakespeare expressed, a rose is still a rose by any other name. Nothing ever changes except the jargon and the names.
