Comrades,
Firstly, sorry for the group mail!
The reason: a nasty white supremacist organisation called Storm Front has set up a series of fake black-on-white hate sites.
The idea behind the sites is to radicalize room-temperature white racists by making outrageous pronouncements in blackface. The sites are a kind of reductio ad absurdum of the racist's view of the “black” population and, as such, are pretty effective… they tell people what they think they already know and amplify the pseudo-cathartic sensation with lo-fi collages of black “perps” juxtaposed with their photogenic (often blond) victims. The comment threads are ripe and greasy-hot with n-word-flinging. It becomes a kind of Klannish Reality Television when actual friends and families of murdered Aryan maidens jump in and vent on the Strawman 'Blacks'.
Might I request that if you have the time you chip in and call the bluff of these white supremacist clowns -- having a little too much success these days, are they not? -- preferably using some of your splendid wit? If you could forward this on to fellow anti-Nazis, or if those of you with blogs could send up the Bat-signal, that would be great.
Sean
