I ask you why it is considered discusting if a group of white men get together to celibrate their belief in white power. It is no differant than a group of black men or gay people doing the same god damn thing.
Black power never caused a world war, and the Gay Rights Movement does not advocate a holocaust of heterosexuals. I would also like to mention that Blacks and Homosexuals have never lynched Whites or Heterosexuals for simply looking at a black woman or for talking with a gay man.

That is why people tolerate or even encourage those who celebrate "black power" and "gay power", and actively discourage and disassociate themselves with those who celebrate "white power".
TerranC, you are blaming a whole segment of society for the sins of the few. Take homosexuality for example. You said "Homosexuals have never lynched...Heterosexuals for simply...talking with a gay man" Probably true, and there have been a few unfortunate isolated instances where "gay bashing" has occured. However, the way you phrased your reply lumped all heterosexuals in with those who took the route of violence.

I do not hate homosexuals. I do however very strongly disapprove of their choice of lifestyle. I know that is not a popular opinion in this day and age, especially in Canada where I live. But if I went on the news and said I hate the choices people make when they indulge in a homosexual lifestyle, I would be condemned as a "homophobe". Isn't that my choice, my free opinion? Let me ask you this. Why is there a "gay pride" week and day and all that [censored], but if I tried to create a "heterosexual pride" day or week or whatever, I'd be considered a homophobe? Why can't I be proud of being a male, white, heterosexual person, without being condemned as a racist, sexist homophobe if I express pride in what I am?

Ladies and gentlemen, the world has swung too far. Trying to make up for the mistakes of the past has pushed the pendulum of acceptability too far the other way.
