Will an Obama presidency pave the way for a David Duke presidency? Online white supremacists seem to think so!

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Sen. Barack Obama's historic victory in the Democratic primaries ... has ... sparked an increase in racist and white supremacist activity, mainly on the Internet, according to leaders of hate groups and the organizations that track them.

...

"I haven't seen this much anger in a long, long time," said Billy Roper, a 36-year-old who runs a group called White Revolution in Russellville, Ark. "Nothing has awakened normally complacent white Americans more than the prospect of America having an overtly nonwhite president."

...

Don Black spends 16 hours each day on his laptop computer reading hundreds of derogatory Obama comments posted on Stormfront.org, a Web site with the motto "white pride world wide."

...

A site that drew a few thousand visitors per day in 2002 has expanded into Black's full-time job, attracting more than 40,000 unique users each day who can post on 54 different message boards, he said. Black has enlisted 40 moderators and his 19-year-old son to help run Stormfront.

Posters on Stormfront complain that Obama represents the end of "white rule" and the beginning of "multiculturalism." They fear that he will promote affirmative action, support illegal immigration and help render whites, who make up two-thirds of the U.S. population, "the new minority."

...

"White people, for a long time, have thought of our government as being for us, and Obama is the best possible evidence that we've lost that. This is scaring a lot of people who maybe never considered themselves racists, and it's bringing them over to our side."

...

David Duke, a former Louisiana state representative and a longtime advocate of racial segregation, said hits to his Web site have doubled and that more organizations now request him as a guest speaker. Dan Hill, who runs an extremist group in northern Michigan, says his cohorts are more willing to "take serious action" and plan rallies to protest politicians and immigration. Roper says White Revolution receives about 10 new applicants each week, more than double the norm.

...

The new interest has led to a debate among white supremacists about how to harness it.

...

Better for Obama to win, leaders said, because his presidency could fuel a recruitment drive big enough to launch events that the white power movement has spent decades anticipating.

"One person put it this way: Obama for president paves the way for David Duke as president," said Duke, who ran for president in 1988, received less than 1 percent of the vote and has since spent much of his time in Europe. "This is finally going to make whites begin to realize it's a necessity to stick up for their own heritage, and that's going to make them turn to people like me. We're the next logical step."

Thats's a bit of a stretch! However, I can rationalize the reasoning behind the statement and an argument for both sides.

You, my good friend, can rationalize just about anything. You're talented like that

The next logical step to what? To making a bigger jackazz out of yourself?

If white people want to stick up for themselves, why is that so bad?

Where are white people oppressed in America? What is a white person exactly in the first place?

What fcuking idiots that Duke guy and his cohorts are. Some people just never learn.

[zqt3344 21]

They have a point, what is worse David Duke online followers and KKK lovers that hate black people or Trinity Church Racist preachers against white people? Truly there is little or no difference between the two sides, both are ridiculous, out of line and anyone trying to give them either a free pass is just encouraging the nonsense, hope Ovomit followers are reading this and taking heed.

Can't we all just get along? Maybe both sides should call for a group hug...

[jundp 191]

Um. Duke couldn't even make it to be elected Governor of Louisiana and didn't he try for president once before?

I know that Louisiana has a pretty fab history of corrupt politics (the Longs, anyone?) but even though I admit Louisiana is still a bit backwards when it comes to some things...even we didn't elect Duke. And that was when our choice for gov was between him and Edwin Edwards...

This will never happen. Sorry. It just won't.
