Having lived in south Louisiana, USA my whole life, I have seen how they operate, and its not pretty. They really are bad people, they may not resort to public violence as much anymore, but they will harrass on site at any chance they get, calling people the "N" word, blocking their way, pushing them etc. Most of the publicity about them is infact true.

muzzy:
Ouch. Well, so we've concluded that KKK is bad and evil. Fine, whatever. That doesn't make the concept of "White Pride" bad, though. Just that it's harder to be proud of being part of majority, and so much easier to harass minorities. The latter is not about being proud, however, so the "White Pride" is just lies and pretty words in that case.

Well, even if we've come to conclusion that KKK does bad things, it doesn't mean that everything KKK does is evil and wrong. Just because they've used Frontpage doesn't make frontpage tainted, just like the air they breathe isn't poisonous to others.

That's a lie.

That means you think that a large majority of people here are ignorant.
:thumbup:

Ah, piratepenguin, not knowing you I didn't have any opinion about you. Heck, I can't remember what your opinions about things are so I still don't know. What I have claimed in earlier threads about windows haters was just as big generalization as the categorization itself was. This is very similar to how I think that americans are idiots, even though I don't expect an american to be an idiot if I meet one. You just can't extrapolate any conclusions from simplifications. Also, that quote was in a context where I was trying to challenge the forums a little, to show where they stand.

So, you're trying to make this discussion personal now? Isn't that intentional derailment? (Although you could say that we haven't been on-topic for quite a while anyway, if this topic ever was on-topic)
