ANP: Race is taking center stage in US, as groups that try to heighten racial divisions are on the rise
American News Project: Obama. The Reverend Wright. Immigration. Race is taking center stage in America and, as a result, the groups that try to heighten racial divisions are on the rise. ANP explores the phenomenon of "white nationalism."
First : Happy Independence Day. Second : I don't fault the kid in the picture because he is just a kid, but my dad fought in World War II so that that Nazi Flag isn't flying over the White House today and so that we all didn't end up in the ovens. Lets remember our World War II vets this 4th of July.....Third, Racism is not just about the poor or working class but also the rich country club set where minoritys are not allowed. The rich on their yachts getting fat off everybody elses suffering. I can see why they don't want CHANGE. ....Fourth, Racism is a part of this election but racism comes from fear and Bush and McCain have sold fear by the pound. Considering the poor response to Katrina, the poor economy and half of america unable to go to a doctor, more of the same is what I fear. They can't use fear to sell me racism.

I'm surprised they didn't touch on all the websites and videos that cater to these type of groups. Especially since sites like youtube are popular with children.

Very few well educated and intelligent people will openly state a personal opinion of racial bias until it directly effects them in such a way they can no longer deny it to themselves. In short, we are all genetically predisposed to want a common race enviroment when circumstances arise that it would seem to protect us. The fact that between races there is less than a fraction of a percent difference in all our DNA, means little if we see skin, eyes and hair differences that associate perceived cultural differences. Ultimately we are just human and therefore only really still a stupid animal striving to survive, no matter who or what we destroy to do so.

Comment #1 The piece on racial separation is excellent, nothing like it on the web.
Comment #2, your comment box set up is terrible. Do something to allow previews, so that a person is enabled to determine whether the post is grammatically correct, etc

Losing the Race
By Nick Penniman & Garland McLaurin
JARED TAYLOR, EDITOR, AMERICAN RENAISSANCE: I think that hardly anyone realizes just how insulting it is to the majority of the population to ask it, to celebrate diversity. When you're asking whites to celebrate diversity, you're asking them to celebrate their declining numbers and influence.
VOICEOVER: Barack Obama. The Reverend Wright. Immigration. Race is taking center stage in American politics, and the organizations that try to widen racial divisions have benefited greatly in the last few years. According to a recent report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, hate groups are on the rise. Since 2000, the center has tracked a 48 percent increase in the number of such groups. Not all these organizations are the same. Some are more militant, some are more antisemitic, some are more overtly racist, some more academic, but what ties most of them together is a common belief in what is called white nationalism, the theory that the more racially diverse America becomes, the less it remains America.
National Socialists Movement Rally
Capitol Hill, Washington, DC
SPEAKER: —hatred. I have no time for hatred or prejudice. The only thing that pushes me forward in this titanic struggle to save the white race from certain extinction is a very beautiful form of the purest love—love for a dying people.
VOICEOVER: But whereas organizations like the Klan or the neo-Nazis would never be granted a voice in the mainstream debate, a host of more academic organizations manages to get a hearing.
