I don’t like it because Paul is considered to be a republican and we’ve got enough stains as it is.

Exactly. Note my last two posts. The GOP has been unfairly portrayed as the party of racists by the media, despite the fact that leaders such as Ronald Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, Lee Atwater etc have directly and explicitly rejected this support.

Now the media has the ammo again. Fortunately they recognize Paul is a crank who can't be credibly tied to the GOP.

Then you have nothing to worry about, right?

Unfortunately, the Republicans are the political group (out of the Democrats and Republicans) to which these racists flock. Many of them also call themselves Christians (as some of them may be).

You could point to 'minority' racists tending toward the Democrats, but as have stated before, European racism and 'minority' racism are usually two separate things.

As the title, one keyword, and many of the comments hear point out, European racists tend to believe they are more advanced in some ways than other 'races.' This is the case for a few 'minority' racists, but not most.

Most of them view Europeans as not morally or intellectually beneath them, but instead harbor undue resentment toward the entire group based on insults--perceived or actual--which they believe European descendants subject members of their 'race' to.

Surely all of the freepers who act as if La Raza, etc. and the klan, Stormfront people, etc. are the same realize this?

They are both racists, but beyond that, they are two hugely distinct groups with two hugely distinct motives for their racism.

(Most of this post was not directed at SJackson; only the first bit).
