But I guess if you question certain people's legacy, you are a racist.

Uh, it says it is hosted by Stormfront. It contains Jewish-conspiracy garbage from David Duke.

Yes, that site is by and for racists.

Further, from my casual perusal of www. martinlutherking.org, I found no hateful content

Did you miss the "Jews and Civil Rights" link?

Online educational film from 1946:

Despotism

Measures how a society ranks on a spectrum stretching from democracy to despotism. Explains how societies and nations can be measured by the degree that power is concentrated and respect for the individual is restricted. Where does your community, state and nation stand on these scales?

Also available on a DVD compilation.

Reading the comments, I am surprised that some find it to be an indictment of "Bush's Ameika" or that capitalism is brushed off by this film (both extremes of comments).

Cronyism awarding private contracts to connected players (as in New Orleans) are not positive examples of capitalism (and farmers are still forced to sell the family farm, thanks to Ted Kennedy's support of estate taxes).

Does anyone think that today's classrooms are "owned" by the right? ANYONE?

I do agree with the comment that "democracy" is not the polar opposite of despotism, that freedom is.

I advise watching this all the same.

I'll admit, I did not read that section. That would indeed be hateful. However, I would posit that Microsoft chose that site not for the content on Jews (because, hey, Jews are white, and it's ok to hate whies, right?) but because it dared question a black man- which we all know cannot be done, for if you do, you are surely doing it not because you are in search of the truth, but because you are racist (even if you don't know it).

I'm guessing they banned it because it's owned by Stormfront and links to them

That's what Leftists do: brand anything that doesn't subscribe to their narrow ideology as "hate speech."

Huh...and we're supposed to believe that Leftists are champions of "diversity" and "free speech." Bah. In a pig's eye.

I'm guessing they tagged it because it is run by a well known neo-nazi organization, and says so right on the page.
