The Military and the White Power Facebook

Ruh RohI've always wondered what it's like to have what they call White Pride. I mean, I understand people who like the Gay Pride, and the Black Pride and the East Asian Pride, and so when I think about it casually the White Pride doesn't sound so crazy? Though I always get hung up on what is the "white," since you know: were you white 100 years ago, Irish person, for instance? And the whole way "pride" veers into "supremacy" is more than a little troubling (less so when it is coming from the gays, because, ha, not so scared of them). So it is, yes, upsetting that US Soldiers are hanging out on the "racist version of Facebook run by the National Socialist Movement" and decrying the "multiculturalism."

They should be more specific and call it "White, not hispanic pride." idiotas.

I'm sure none of these fine americans will be removed from serving, it's not like they are gay!

Crossing fingers for "you've never worn the uniform" defense.

Good call, for the most part, but the SPLC's a bit of a racket: http://harpers.org/archive/2007/11/hbc-90001573

Charity Navigator gives the SLPC three out of four stars, so perhaps "racket" is a bit much?

I don't know, but read the Harper's coverage and see what you think.

There is a defensible way to celebrate being white, like starting a blog to mock white people (stuffwhitepeoplelike.com) or writing a book about the "Scots-Irish warrior culture in the south" (the latter helps you get elected to the U.S. Senate -- see, e.g., Jim Webb).

Totally. And shopping at J Crew.

They can decry multiculturalism all they want but at some point they're gonna crave a real burrito.

That's why the craziest Minutemen require that you take an oath:

" 'I had to take an oath, and part of the oath was that I couldn't eat Mexican food,' he said."

There's always the Taco Bell loophole for that.

And everybody laughed when Dr. Morbius offered us a robot army.

The greatest benefit of Facebook is that it has many groups on the site that you can join. So if you are interested in Chicago Cubs you can research Chicago Cubs in the groups section and you will be able to find friends on there that like the Cubs. This is just one example, I know that you can join groups of your favorite football team, television show, or whatever you want for the most part! If you can't find a group for your interest, you can simply create one!
