It'll be okay if it's about white people.

I got in a Facebook war with someone on Facebook over this article:

I mean, honestly.

She could be racist but probably not against her own race. That would make little sense.

You can definitely be racist against your own race. See Nazi Jews for one.

That was self-preservation.

Yeah, I can see how the leader of the American Nazi Party needed to self preserve.

She could quite easily pass for white, so you've got to wonder what 'privilege' she has missed out on.

There's a whole different debate about whether Jews are a race but, in any case, I guarantee you he doesn't think he's a Jew (unless he thinks he, himself, should be killed). So my point still stands.

Dan Burros killed himself upon being revealed as a Jew by the New York Times (I think, it's been a while) so 'considering himself a Jew' is a bit out of the question. Stop trying to be an argumentative moron on absolutely everything. Thanks.

It sounds more like a nutcase than a normally functioning yet racist person. You're the one who is arguing with me, in case you hadn't noticed.

If he was that racist then why did he wait until it came out publicly before he offed himself?

He led the American Nazi Party, Harold. Did you expect him to be well balanced?

So is every person in that party mentally ill?

As with all cults, most of them are probably poorly educated idiots as the majority of nonsense is bred through ignorance, some will be pwopa racists, some will be mentally ill and some will be drawn to power. The phrase mentally ill brings about the idea of a cure though which I don't agree with although you could probably put some sort of mental illness diagnosis at the majority of them.

Is it a cult because of what they believe or because they're small in size? I hope John likes where this is heading. :)
