Five ways to know you’re speaking to white supremacists

And other useful tips for Steve Scalise and budding politicians everywhere

http://news.yahoo.com/five-ways-to-know-you-re-speaking-to-white-supremacists-004845526.html

There was a simpler time in America, a time when racists wore white hoods and carried torches, when Nazis wore swastikas and a skinhead could shave his scalp without being mistaken for a metrosexual. But those days are long behind us. Now, apparently, white supremacists hold conferences with guest speakers and video hookups to their colleagues overseas, kind of like a Davos for the intellectually vacant.

There are no hard and fast rules, of course, but let’s consider a few useful guidelines for knowing when you’ve got a problem, just in case you’re thinking about a career in national politics.

1. The group was founded by David Duke.
2. Banners that say things like “White Power” hang from the ceiling.
3. The name of the group is the European-American Unity and Rights Organization.
4. The hotel hosting the event is ashamed.
5. No one actually cares about your tax stand.

America and Africa were both colonized, by the total hypocrisy of men, who thought the world belonged to them for the stealing . Men who verbalized about freedom and liberty, yet kept slaves and engaged in genocide.

No wonder we ended up with a fear based society.

You can on be so crappy to others before you begin to feel concern about potential retaliation.

They have not done unto others as they would have done unto them.

Karma is a bitch.
