Holocaust shooting signals race turmoil, some say
Townhall / The Associated Press ^ | June 11, 2009 | Jesse Washington, Debroah Hastings and Eileen Sullivan

Crazies. Lone nut jobs. Isolated loonies. Those are frequent descriptions of people like James von Brunn, the 88-year-old white supremacist accused of opening fire at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and killing a black guard.

Others believe he represents something more dangerous: a growing racist movement motivated by a number of converging factors, including the first black president.

The potential for an increase in violence from whites who feel they are slipping from power is high, people from across the ideological spectrum say.

"I believe we are headed for an unprecedented level of conflict and racial turmoil," said Carol Swain, author of the 2002 book "The New White Nationalism in America" and a professor of political science and law at Vanderbilt University.

Swain cited anger over immigration, growing minority populations, racial preferences, high minority crime rates, the economy and multiculturalism as forces driving white people toward nationalism.

Read the whole thing: I knew the minute I heard about the museum shooting that we'd get blamed for this, even though von Brunn is a registered Democrat and anti-Semite.

This is just wrong--so very wrong.

We should let this guy know that he is terribly misinformed.

Grasping at straws in an attempt to verify the claims made about how oh-so-historic is the Obama administration. Truth is, his race just doesn’t bother people much. Get over it.

“What happened to Latino Nationalism”

It is well represented in La Raza.

“African American Nationalism”

Are the Black Panther still around? There’s also the Nation of Islam. Probably Rev. Wright’s Church.

But isn’t racist for “white” people to mention those?

One incident does not a trend make. Unless your a Democrat out to silence the opposition.

Do you have a link that he was a registered democrat?

I have been telling people this and they don’t believe me.

According to “Jesse Washington, Debroah Hastings and Eileen Sullivan,” yes, probably.

I want to see it. It’s too good to be true. I’m tired of people saying this over and over, I want the link. Please.

You hit it. - Wright's church IS liberation theology - of the black Marxist type that promotes exactly those two goals.

Why do you think he screamed “God Damn America?”

And the black Panthers are still around and kicking in the major inner city cesspools of democrat trash.
They were the ones that kept whites away from the polls in Philly - you know, the ones that Obama Hussein just instructed the DOJ to drop the case on?

Oh, yeah, I remember that now. First time I’ve actually seen the sort of “voter intimidation” libs are always screaming about.

And, though politically incorrect to say anything, that Muslim is a black Muslim convert to Islam. What does it say about racial strife if American black Muslims are against their own country?

And what does it say about that Muslim that he obviously is not impressed that his American president is trying to make nice with the Muslim world, and admitting alleged wrongs we have committed?

It’s absolutely absurd that the Associated Press and NBC keep referring to this doddering old loony as a “white supremacist”.

He targeted the Holocaust Museum. This was an anti-semitic act!!!!

HELLO???!!!
