A kinder, gentler racism

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Sam Dickson, an Atlanta real estate lawyer, is fond of health food. He also likes to read bumper stickers. So, while trekking into the Little Five Points natural-eats emporium Sevananda about four months ago, he noticed that one car's bumper proclaimed: "Save Tibet!"

...

Dickson took the opportunity to compare Tibet – which the communist Chinese government has flooded with non-Tibetans – and America. "I told those who attacked me that the people of Milton and Shakespeare have a right to save themselves, just like what they advocate for Tibet. They were furious at the idea of someone arguing that white people should try to avoid extinction. Which is what is happening."

Dickson's message hasn't changed much since he was a University of Georgia activist with the right-wing Young Americans for Freedom in the late 1960s: The white race must unite to save itself.

But technology has transformed racial politics just as it has the rest of our culture. Today Dickson's soapbox is no longer confined to small rooms where he addresses handfuls of fellow travelers. His message is amplified and shoots around the planet at light speed, thanks to Stormfront.org, the online bulletin board whose booming growth delights white nationalists and causes anguish among their enemies.

Joining Dickson as an online personality on Stormfront are a marquee array of other white nationalist luminaries: founder Don Black; day-to-day manager Jamie Kelso; America's best-known race polemicist, David Duke; former Reagan administration official Bob Whitaker; and Jared Taylor, a Yale-educated, self-declared "racial realist" who publishes the American Renaissance magazine.

...

Stormfront, Dickson says, "has enabled us to communicate directly with the people. And when people hear our message, they're not saying we're a bunch of crackpots. They're listening and many, yes many, are agreeing."

...

If numbers measure success, Stormfront certainly resonates with many people's angst over the future. The site boasts more than 103,000 members, according to the independent Big Boards monitoring group. Just two years ago, it had a mere 53,000 members, and only 10,000 in 2002. Kelso gleefully notes that membership is growing at a rate of 500 a week.

...

While its leaders deny they're propagating hate, the site clearly enables members to voice the most outrageous opinions.

You'll find predictable anti-Semitism ("[H]ow did so many Jews come to dominate media ownership?" wrote a member e-monikered "dukesrevenge"). And racism ("Even with all the welfair [sic], and diversity nonsense, blacks still feel that whites are racist, yet, so very few of them seem to be moving back to Africa," penned "youboob").

You'll also find advice on romance ("Belenus" chastises one comrade: "Interracial dating is simply a euphemism for what people know to be wrong and unnatural")...

...

What's clear – and frightening – is that not since the Ku Klux Klan recruited millions in the 1920s has an overtly racist organization reveled in such rapid growth.

...

As the word was spreading, a new audience was emerging, fearful of a tsunami of brown-skinned, Spanish-speaking people crossing the border. Stormfront was there to give voice to America's new nativism.

"Immigration has become the nexus of racism," Burghart says. "In just a few years we've seen the number of anti-immigration groups increase by 600 percent, from 37 in 25 states to 254 in 42 states. For some, this is exciting as a potential to make race a potent message. For others, it's terrifying as it promotes the agenda of a group like Stormfront."

Kelso concurs that illegal immigration is driving his membership.

"It's the street-level experiences people have that are turning them into believers," he says. "With average white people, you have to tone down the message. But when they find a couple of illegals standing next to them in line at Wal-Mart, it makes them think, 'Hell, half the population of Mexico is living in the United States.' Then they see our Web pages and say, 'Yeah, that's us.'"

Duke sees the current surge in anti-immigrant passion as pure vindication. "Look, in 1977, I was patrolling the Mexican border," he says. "I was telling anyone who'd listen that illegal immigration would destroy our European culture. The media kept calling us Klansmen and racists, but the truth is that we were just ahead of the times. The media were so wrong. Look at the border now. All of America understands that we're under attack. Citizen groups like the [border vigilante] Minutemen have had to answer the call because the government won't."

...

... today, nothing is more volatile than immigration. CNN's Lou Dobbs' almost-nightly diatribes against Mexicans who've illegally crossed the border include bombasts that they're an "army of invaders" and that "illegal alien smugglers and drug traffickers are on the verge of ruining some of our national treasures." U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado, the most inflammatory voice against immigrants in Congress, spoke last fall to the white supremacist and secessionist League of the South in South Carolina, decrying the "cult of multiculturalism." Now he's running for president.

If you go to Stormfront, you'll find thousands of echoes of those personalities' comments. "If it weren't for multiculturalism we wouldn't be digging bodies out of the rubble in New York and Washington, D.C.," wrote a Gwinnett County website member with the e-nickname "leafericksen." Immigration, wrote another member, pen-named "bookworm," "will be the death knell for our kinsman and kinswoman."

ah so those are the crazy mofos of white renaissance.. lol, they are funny as hell, and are full of sh!t..

although "Interracial dating is simply a euphemism for what people know to be wrong and unnatural" while they're full of sh!t saying that, I know not only white people say it.. I've heard people against interracial dating from all fronts, black, native americans and latinos.. not only whites..

"Stormfront, Dickson says, "has enabled us to communicate directly with the people. And when people hear our message, they're not saying we're a bunch of crackpots. They're listening and many, yes many, are agreeing."

yea cuz the people listening are also a bunch of crackpots.. white race in extinction.. LOL.. omg cuz white people are gonna die!!! if they think they are 'something' because of their color, that's sad.. they should be proud of hteir country, their ancestors, rather than the lack of melatonin

people should be ashamed of promoting Tancredo, a real racist..

When whites are the minority will 'they' allow white pride organizations?

[GabachaYucateca 0]

Who are "they?" It seems that "they" and "us" are disappearing, as more and more people like "me" marry "them" and produce little babies with coloring somewhere in between that of "us" and "them."

Ya "dig"?

Good grief!

I love Lou Dobbs and agree with him about illegals! BTW, Lou's wife and her parents are "brown people", Mexicans to be precise. His daughters are Hispanic. So there!

And pedro, I'll remind you that you're white, too. I'm not

You don't get it. 'They' are not any particular color. They=the establishment. BTW my wife is a beautiful shade of brown. But you have probably never left North America so you really wouldn't understand.

Damn - they got us mixed up with www.visafraud.com.

The thing that really riles me about articles like this is that they use the worst extremes to try to cloud the issue in order to justify and perpetuate mass illegal immigration. It is a lame attempt to paint anyone that is against mass illegal immigration and try to lump them together with the azzholes quoted in the article. Just because these azzholes are against mass illegal immigration, it does not equate to mass illegal immigration being a "good" situation for our country.

Let's get real here! Use some common sense.
