ABC News said:Last month, the girls were scheduled to perform at the local county fair in their hometown. But when some people in the community protested, Prussian Blue was removed from the line-up. But even before that, April had decided that Bakersfield was not "white" enough, so she sold her home, and hopes that she and the girls can find an all-white community in the Pacific Northwest.

I agree. Think about it both ways- yes, hate in every form is a petty emotion and really not worth it... But...Bent said:I hear the same about teaching my children Christian values. That censorship sword cuts both ways.:lecture:
bajacalal said:I know but those are values of love and tolerance.
Maybe because people of other beliefs tolerate our stuff, just like we tolerate theirs. To us, it's true. To them, it's false.Bent said:Truth and Love; I don't know where you come up with tolerance.

I'm starting to see a pattern though.

I don't think any kind of isolation is a good thing. Everyone needs to just accept we are all just human and alike, then get on with their lives. I don't care if you are Chinese, Cuban, Swiss, whatever- we're all the same.
But hey, what do I know?

uvaldetxj said:I'm Mexican, and proud of my culture. You ask why it becomes a racial issue when Whites speak proudly of their heritage.
What exactly is White heritage? I think you're mentioning the likes of KKK and Nazi groups. Those organizations revolve around racism and hate, that's how it becomes a racial issue. I would believe that calling blacks "niggers", and latinos "wetbacks" would qualify as racial slurs. As far as I know, there have been no groups past or present rallying Latino Supremacy.
I can't recall ever hearing of any White people getting bashed for taking pride in the good things they've done for the masses.
If you watched the news in the past few weeks you probably saw what happened in Ohio. There was law enforcement everywhere, who pays their salaries? It really pisses me off that taxpayers are paying to keep order under those circumstances. A bill needs be passed banning organized hate.
x2ECKSJAY said:While I don't condone what these groups stand for, if their voices are quieted (legally)...where does it end from there? If they're not hurting anyone, what's the use in banning it just because you don't like it? Rules and regulations are for law-abiding peoples, criminals don't care. Look what happened to that group who formed a protest... The townspeople who didn't like it protested themselves and ended up becoming hypocrites. Their hate was so strong for this hate group, they were no better themselves. Loving, caring, tolerant, Christian people? Does Christianity need to be banned now? How about organized religion? A group of local 4x4 enthusiasts goes out and parties in the woods where you like to wheel. They leave trash all over the place and tear up the land. For those few there are thousands more who enjoy it. Should OHV use be banned? Of course not. As I said, every group is going to have their ass hats, but we can't just go banning everything because a few people have problems. It won't stop the bad ones anyway. Restraining orders don't stop abusive husbands from coming back and beating their wives. Traffic laws don't stop people from speeding. The list goes on and on...
"A bill needs be passed banning organized _______ ." Fill in the blanks and think about it.

*Before I say this, everyone needs to know I'm not racist, or trying to be so*
What about these rappers? Their work is largely propaganda to young people. What about ignorant blacks teaching their children that they are owed everything? Everyone knows not all are like this, but there are the select few that give everyone a bad name. It works the same for these white girls who's heads have been filled with lies. They attain the image of racists and it reflects.
Hm... another thought of mine...
