American Renaissance - What lies behind the Minutemen

to me, the most insidious thing that bush is doing (among MANY insidious things) is to give tacit permission for crap like this to come crawling out of the woodwork...

What We Believe

Race is an important aspect of individual and group identity. Of all the fault lines that divide society—language, religion, class, ideology—it is the most prominent and divisive. Race and racial conflict are at the heart of the most serious challenges the Western World faces in the 21st century.

The problems of race cannot be solved without adequate understanding. Attempts to gloss over the significance of race or even to deny its reality only make problems worse. Progress requires the study of all aspects of race, whether historical, cultural, or biological.

sounds almost reasonable, doesn't it...? don't be fooled... it's extremely important to be aware of the various white supremacist groups out there... while muted, it is that kind of thinking that lies behind the minuteman project... this particular group, american renaissance, from which these comments were taken, describes itself as a magazine and has been around since 1991... they adopt a distinctly thoughtful, academic style that almost lulls you into complacency and that is precisely their strategy... you have to "click in" a layer or two and read down quite a few paragraphs but eventually the message becomes clear...

Unless whites shake off the teachings of racial orthodoxy they will cease to be a distinct people with a culture of their own. History, morality, biology, and generations of common sense justify their desire that their descendents should be the heirs to the culture and civilization of Europe, that their lives be shaped by their own history rather than by the demands of people unlike themselves.

now, if the full implication of what they are saying is combined with the full connotation of the term "american renaissance," everybody but the native americans would board ships and head back home... that, of course, gets conveniently ignored...
