You Can't Handle The Truth; Sticking it to Stormfront

Syndicated from my blog:

Those familiar with the political internet forums and such have probably heard of a certain website known as www.stormfront.org. For those who haven’t, I’ll explain: Stormfront is a white nationalist message board, white nationalist meaning whites who believe that they should have all of Europe and North America to themselves, away from blacks, hispanics, asians, and jews. They claim that they are not racist but simply wish for the survival of the white race. I guess calling blacks n****** , hispanics wetbacks, and asians mud race isn’t racist anymore. These people also believe the holocaust never happened.

Stormfront, when compared to other racist websites, is tame. I use it as an example here because they are by far the most well known and have the highest number of members of any racist website. I am genetically white myself and have Jewish heritage. These people make my blood boil.

I have one thing to say to them: You Can’t Handle The Truth. You can’t handle that the days when racism was the norm are gone. You can’t handle the present. You can’t handle the future. You can’t handle that the age of equality is in progress, and it makes you sick, so you hide behind some false data claiming that the white race will go extinct if we don’t get rid of the hispanics, blacks, asians, and jews.

Newsflash: the white race will never be extinct, nor will any other race. The only way for every white on this planet to die would be a nuclear holocaust, which would kill everyone else to.

We have a thing now, it’s called equality. It comes from an understanding of morals and ethics. Nazism will soon be completely dead, and rightfully so. Racist skinheads are not going to be a group in twenty years. The KKK won’t exist in a hundred years.

It’s the future, get used to it. Every time in history when a cultural revolution occurs, there are still people who will fight back and hold for their conservative and dead values. You are the modern era’s equivalent.

I’ve read your website, I’ve seen how you corrupt youths to your horrible causes. Children who disrespect their parents because they are tolerant. If those are the people that you wish to be your leaders in the future, then be afraid.


Open your eyes to the modern world, racists. Open your eyes.


Thoughts on my mini-essay?

I hope you are right, but history shows that even when the Western/European world had its greatest times of enlightment, antisemitism and racism in general survived.
I admire your courage to face these problems, instead of categorizing them as unimportant, like most do. I myself from time to time find myself entering racist websites, just to 'get to know the enemy'. After all, the first step in solving a problem is facing it.

Europe has been the classical center of racism, but today racism is rife in places like the Middle East and North America. Each place has its own reasons for the emerging of this racism, but the place that really worries me is the United States. The Middle East is full of ignorant people who are racist (btw, that includes some Israelis), but the US is the world's most powerful nation, the biggest economy and basically the world's leader on pretty much everything. I think that racism has been less than active in Europe for the past 60 years because of the holocaust, and there has been a strong reaction for any racism there since then. In the US, as long as they aren't representing the state, people are allowed to form Neo Nazi and other racist organizations and there is nothing the country can do about it. Racism exists in the United States because of the fact that it is an immigrants state. The dominant White/Christian population sees other ethnic groups 'taking over' their country - they see Asian University proffesors, they see little white girls listening to Black rap, they see Jews completely assimilated to their enviorment - and that pisses them off.

This is also the reason why racism is coming back in Europe - modern day Europeans are already seeing immigrants in their countries as 'a problem'. And while the second holocaust is still very far away, and we will probably won't be here to see it, I'm afraid that this is the path Europe might follow, unless something is done right now.

So, in conclusion, it's not enough to say that racism is obsolete. It is up to us to eradicate it.
By the way Quaon, are you Jewish yourself?

I don't practice (I'm a Christian by belief) but, yes, I am a Jew.

Unfortunately, until we all become one combined race, racism will exist no matter how many people believe in equality. While someone looks different from somebody else, we will have racism. I wish it were not so, but it is.

They won't give a damn. You shouldn't give a damn. Unless they're going out and torching people, then really, let them think what they want.

Odds are they're going to use their own logic and sources and whatever to debunk your arguments.

And it's on the Internet. So just laugh.

I doubt we'll ever get ride of "racism" just because it's comes in some many forms. I mean sure you've got the one's who are racists for religious reasons or because of a skin color, but then the spectrum just continues on.

It's just a disease, like a lot of thing inflicting our world and though I am a firm believer that the glass is half full I'm also a realist in the fact that this will continue to exist. However, with all that said I'm not trying to suggest that there is nothing we can do about it.

A lot has happened in my lifetime. When I was five or six, we were vacationing in Mississippi, I think, and we were in a drug store, and there were the two water fountains, one marked "white" and one marked "colored". Well, I wanted to drink out of the "colored" water fountain, because I thought it would be cool to have colored water (I guess I thought like rainbow colors). No one would let me, and I cried.

Now just two weeks ago, I heard they were tearing down an old drugstore for remodeling in Alabama or someplace, and when they ripped off the wall, sure enough, there were the stencils, "White" and "Colored" over the tapped off water outlets. They wanted to move the wall to a museum, so, yeah, times have changed.

Personally, I have no problems if some homogeneous group wants to live in isolation from others, be it for language, race, color, religion. Just don't try to make it a national policy.

:rolleyes: Well that's just like in my area, in downtown we have this one wall which used to be the enterance to an old movie theater and at first glance (if you don't know anything about it's history) it just looks pretty normal. However, since it was built originally in that era, there is a large enterance which was the "white" enterance and a smaller one off to the side for "blacks." As far as I know though, it doesn't have the labels to it anymore.
