As I research more about the insanity within American culture - the white supremacy movement - I find more and more instances of outright hatred and craziness. It's hard to imagine that people so full of hate have not already exploded in rage.
I give you The White Voice Media, a site devoted to "Media, news, and information for White people against White genocide."

"Late on Thursday evening, President Obama and the First Lady issued a statement to those celebrating Kwanzaa. This was consistent with their statements this holiday season for Christmas and Hanukkah. Considering that anywhere from 2 to 5 million people in this country alone observe and celebrate the holiday, and both the President and FLOTUS are African American, it should be both uncontroversial and expected for POTUS to make a statement.

"Leaflets for a ‘White Student Union’ appeared at West Chester University in Philadelphia in early December and caused an uproar. The leaflets immediately were taken down to mollify concerned students and faculty.

"David Duke, a former GOP member of Louisiana’s state House of Representatives, has been kicked out of Italy for what their officials called an attempt “to establish an organization aiming to exterminate the black and Jewish races in Europe.” This expulsion has been a long time coming, and it is only taking place after Duke’s appeal of a 2009 decision to ban him from traveling or residing in the area. It’s the white supremacist’s link to the GOP back in the US, however, that makes this story even more jarring.
David Duke and his history of hate.
Duke’s long journey to the LA State House and his getting banned from the Schengen area, a region of 26 countries in Europe, began when he formed the White Youth Alliance, a neo-Nazi group, while he was a student at Louisiana State University. He later went on, with his college degree in hand, to found the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan group in 1974. There’s no doubt that any bigot can start a racist club, but it’s Duke’s methods of coercion that became more noticeable and more dangerous
It was Duke’s plan to help the Klan gain acceptance in the mainstream, and he did this by presenting what seemed to be a moderate approach on network television. He focused on the concerns of conservatives, such as affirmative action and immigration, as a method of drawing people towards his white supremacist views. His methods of appealing to people’s fears are similar to those used by “militia” groups to increase their numbers in America.
Election as LA state house rep.
Duke later left the Klan and went on to form the National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP). Then, in 1989, there was a special election for the seat in District 89 of the LA House of Representatives. By now, Duke had already founded several white supremacist groups; yet the LA GOP still felt he was the best man for the job. What’s even more sad is the fact that Duke sold literature promoting denial of the Holocaust during his time in office.
Now keep in mind that it’s not as if it was a wholly different time in America when the LA GOP elected this racist to office. It was 1989. This was the year the presidency saw its first Bush, so it’s a relatively recent time in US history. Yet somehow, in a country where certain members of the Supreme Court don’t think racism is a problem anymore, an ardent white supremacist who wants to exterminate Jews and Blacks managed to get elected in the state of Louisiana.
Exile and Tea Party affiliation.
Luckily for educated and non-bigoted people in Europe, hate isn’t taken quite as lightly over there as it is in America. Denying the Holocaust is actually a crime in well over a dozen countries. Duke was kicked out of Switzerland in 2009 due to his furthering of white supremacist propaganda, and after being banned from all countries in the Schengen, he crept back into Italy under a fake name in 2011.
Duke’s attorney said that he is unaware of where his client is at the moment, but claims that he is no longer in Italy. Luckily for this crazy bigot, he likely always has a home in America. In fact, if things do a sudden about face in America, Duke could well end up as president since it’s been reported that he has been urged by thousand of activists within the Tea Party to take a run at the presidency. He even released a video speaking directly to Tea Party members about the “discrimination” that white people have to go through.
Of course, let’s not forget: there’s no racial undertone to the Tea Party.

"Hoodie Award for Racist of the Year-2013 As we leave 2013, and move ahead into a new year, it's important not to forget where we've been. As my grandmother was fond of saying "if you don't know where you've been, you can't figure out where you are headed." If 2013 was an example, we've learned two very important things: racism is alive and well in the U.S. and that people are pushing back against it on many fronts. We are no stranger to awards ceremonies. A lot of attention is always paid to Time's "Person of the Year" award, this year given to Pope Francis. Time doesn't always pick "good people" since they describe their selection as "bestowed by the editors on the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill, and embodied what was important about the year." I'd like to propose my demerit nominees, for "Racist of the Year," and ask that you take the attached poll and add your candidates and memories for the most racist moments of 2013. Many of the racists selected fit just as easily into other categories of bigotry—since they are also sexist, homophobic, or target people of other ethnicities or faiths. Instead of nice golden statutes or medals I'm awarding "Hoodies"—not the hoodies worn by many of us as casual outerwear, or the hoodies that became a symbol of the Trayvon Martin murder. Mine are Klan hoodies—the hoods of the outfits worn by members of the Klu Klux Klan as part of their regalia—which are symbolic of racial terrorism, along with cross-burnings and lynchings. Follow me below the fold for the poll and more. I only have room for one poll here, but I've been thinking of other categories, similar to the way the Oscar's or other prizes are organized. Racist murder. We already know that walking, or taking a train, or driving while being a person of color can get you killed by police. So can "asking for help," discussed here by chaunceydevega in Black People Do Not Have the Luxury of Being Strangers: Renisha McBride. Campus "incidents". Contrary to the idea that we have moved into a colorblind world, and that racists are all old and dying off, The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education , has been tracking racism on campuses. Pseudo-academic justifications for racism. This category segues from students to the academy, and we should revisit Jason Richwine and his babble dealing with immigration and IQ. Stephen Colbert also took it on in "Heritage Foundation's Immigration Study." Judicial decisions, laws and criminal injustice. What stands out for me was this: Radical Extremist Roberts 5 strikes down Voting Rights Act. Followed by a continuing war on voting rights across the U.S. 'Stop and Frisk' advocate Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City continued his defense of racist police policy. Retaliation was taken against California prison hunger strikers. Elected Officials Teapublicans top my list of equal opportunity haters. Some of the most egregious stories of racism in 2013 involved elected officials and their staffers, like Rand Paul Stands By His 'Southern Avenger.' See MSNBC's Chris Hayes to Rand Paul: 'That's Three Racist Strikes. You're Out.' There was this Republican County Commissioner, who used the term "nig**r-rigging." A top Latino-hating elected official might be Rep. Steve King of Iowa, but then there is racist, racial profiling Sheriff Joe Arpaio, from Maricopa County, Arizona. Advertising. Racist outrage against Cheerios. More recent is Gap Ad Featuring an Indian Model Goes Viral After Racist Vandalism. Add-on this mind numbing racist ad for a law firm. Pastoral prejudice and religious racism There are probably too many incidents of religious racism to list, but I haven't forgotten Papa Rafael Cruz's (father of Teapublican Ted Cruz) comments about blacks and latinos. Let's not forget the Faith Christian Academy in Florida where Vanessa VanDyke was threatened with expulsion because of her "natural hair". To no one's surprise, the religious right is still messing with textbooks. Television. Fresh in our minds as the year ends is the Fox News white storm over Santa and Jesus. Oh yeah, and add in "Duck Dynasty." Don't Forget Duck Dynasty's Racist Remarks. This story also fits into the religious racism category. Radio Rush Limbaugh is still on the air spewing hate and division. Bob Frantz, talk radio host, Cleveland, Ohio: Defending racist stereotypes is just part of the show. Who are the bigots on your local airwaves? Print. Wall Street Journal Op-Ed Bemoans The End Of White Rule In The United States. Another racist columnist invoked gagging as a response to the landslide election of Bill de Blasio in New York City. Sports. Our own Meteor Blades reported: On 'Redskins,' President Obama gets it right and Fox News Dem Lanny Davis gets it completely wrong, and #@!!%&#. This is the racist crap Indians have to put up with because Dan Snyder is a stubborn wretch. This outrage is finally getting more media coverage, and I also suggest reading this historical article by Winter Rabbit from Native American Netroots. I just got back from a family Christmas visit to Pennsylvania and my cousins who live in Bucks County informed me about a related local issue. Language We saw new terms and phrases enter the vernacular of racism like "waiting for the bus while black" and "Shop and Frisk," and a New York Times op-ed by Ta-Nehisi Coates on the Forest Whitaker incident. Twitter. This is a territory I'm really a novice with, so I hope you active tweeters will chime in. Here are some twitterstorms I remember: See The Top Thirty-Five Most Vile Racist Tweets From Right-Wingers About Newly Crowned Miss America! Racist Basketball Fans PISSED a Mexican-American Boy Dared to Sing Their National Anthem Racism is over! Everyone go home! The best #RacismEndedWhen tweets Multiple-colored fists attribution: Dreamstime Anti-Racism Rather than only address the negatives, I'd like your suggestions for those people or organizations who have done the most to combat all of the above in their own fields. So please add your nominations for the groups, individuals or media that have advanced the cause of "anti-racism." I have several individuals/groups who I'd pick as nominees for "Anti-Racist of the Year." Rev. Dr. William Barber, North Carolina's NAACP president who leads the integrated Moral Monday movement, now spreading to other states. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), for Teaching Tolerance and HateWatch. The NAACP. Media/humor/satire "The Daily Show," with Jon Stewart. One of my favorite episodes was the one on "suppressing the vote" which caused the firing of North Carolina Republican official Don Yelton. "The Colbert Report" mocked Brad Paisley's "Accidental Racist" and segued into homophobia. Wonkette had a long list of articles with a "racism" tag, and I admit to getting enormous satisfaction reading their scathing comments sections. Jay Smooth confronted CNN's Don Lemon's encouragement of internalized racism. Editorial Cartoonists Keith Knight (the K Chronicles) Barry Deutsch Daily Kos communities and bloggers In the last year Daily Kos, has had many diaries with the tag "racism." From Markos, who deals with racists weekly in his Saturday nutpick-a-paloozas, to individual Kossaks, to series and groups like Black Kos, Black Kos community, Barriers and Bridges, Native American Netroots, LatinoKos, Discussing Race at Daily Kos, White Privilege Working Group, RaceGender DiscrimiNATION, Invisible People, Support The Dream Defenders, Support Michelle Obama, and groups that need more support like APA Kos : Asian/Pacific Americans at DailyKos. Other blogs and bloggers. I have some of my favorites on my blog roll on the right side of the page. Who do you read for strong anti-racist writing? Columnists Ta-Nehisi Coates Leonard Pitts, Jr Websites/campaigns Color of Change the Grio Racism Review Flush Rush Colorlines The Root Anti-racist activists and academics Michelle Alexander took on "The Zimmerman Mind-Set" for Time and Tim Wise continued to address racism and privilege on multiple fronts. Bullseye on a standard Harrows Bristle Board. Top Target of Racists Before I close, I nominate President Barack Hussein Obama as the top target for racist attacks from elected officials, media crap-stirrers and citizens who hold racist views in this country. His wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, would be my second choice. No matter where you stand on his policies, I can't see how this can be denied. I doubt that any living individual in the U.S., or sitting president, has evoked such a vile stream of racist vitriol. President Obama deserves a special award for standing up to it all with grace, humor and dignity. Well done Mr. President. Please join me in comments with your nominations and suggestions and you can send additional remarks and votes to: 2013racism@gmail.com I'll publish the winners (who are really losers) next Sunday. Here's hoping that in 2014 we will fight back harder, and move forward in the struggle against racism, whether it's systemic or individual bigotry."
