It's almost as if people have been studying this stuff for years..or something.
I already told you I wouldn't be wasting any time arguing with you over whether or not the five pillars of white supremacy are true. If you wanted to have that convo...you'd have to reach down and find the courage of your convictions - make a thread called "why I think white supremacist rhetoric is just a fact" - or whatever. In my experience, people who can't own their own bullshit aren't really capable of debating said bullshit.
Frank and open racists are respectable in ways that cagey racists just aren't, imo - but that might be a product of my upbringing. If you're gonna do it, then do it right, and right out in the open..right?

Quote:In this paper, I examine the ideology of white supremacists and separatists, which portrays Whites as "victims." I first review several convergences in the recent literature on white supremacist discourse. I argue that the "victim ideology" has been discussed frequently, but generally only in passing, and in the service of other arguments. Following the approach to victimology suggested by Holstein and Miller (1990) I present an empirical constructionist analysis of these "victim claims," breaking them down into five themes — (1) discrimination, (2) rights abrogations, (3) stigmatization and the denial of pride, (4) loss of self-esteem, and (5) racial elimination. I conclude with some comments on the theoretical and social role of this ideology, and its use as a recruiting tool for the contemporary white supremacist and separatist movement.
