Please don't try to split hairs by saying something like, "I didn't say you are a racist. I said that what's in the statement of principles is racist." The statement of principles is intended to explain ourselves. If you take the line about racial to be racist, then you assume we are racists. But, you still haven't defined "racist". To quote you, “What is that statement if not racist?”

To quote myself, "what I take from all this is that the program may not be racist, but it is certainly racially and culturally insensitive." I haven’t called you a racist, Winston.

I first challenge you to define what you mean by "racist". There's no need to make it lengthy or complicated. Just give a common-sense definition. Now, I ask you: are Jews racists for insisting that Jews should marry only other Jews? Of course not; they simply want racial integrity. They want Jews to marry Jews and produce Jewish children. Are Negro women racists when they get upset at Negro men who "hook up" with and marry White women? Of course they aren't; they simply want racial integrity. They want Negro men marrying Negro women and producing Negro children. I applaud Jews and Negroes who want to keep their respective races as pure as possible, because the races are God's idea, and all the races are beautiful - including the White race - and they should stay that way. There is nothing racist whatsoever in this. Love of one's kind is not hatred for other kinds. I can say honestly that there is not a single race that I hate. I want all the races to thrive and prosper. At the same time, I want my own race to thrive and prosper. That desire is considered fine and noble in all races but the White race, in which case it's considered racist (whatever "racists" means). Why is that? Finally, I'll say the by calling us racists, you have contradicted yourself when you wrote that you "can’t tell you what’s in the heart of those who produce The Political Cesspool". In order to call us racists, you would certainly have to know what's in our hearts. If you want to know what's in my heart, feel free to email me. Like every son od Adam, I'm a sinful man, with a heart that's "desperately wicked and deceitful in all things," as Scripture says, but I'll be as honest as I can in letting you know what's in my heart. Since I’m one of the co-hosts of The Political Cesspool, I’d like to deal with your assertion that a call for racial integrity is racist.

It is run by a Morris Dees, and he and his organization were throughly trashed in an article in Harper's Magazine, Nov, 2000, by Ken Silverstein, called "How the Southern Poverty Law Center profits from intolerance" All independent charity watchdog organizations rate SPLC badly for devoting so much of it's budget to overhead, and so little to actual civil rights work. Also, it doesn't take much to get listed as racist by the SPLC, anyone who opposes Black Reparations gets on it. Just another hypocrite organization for rich white liberals who get their rocks off on touting their moral superiority to working class white people.

Those cached pages do, I think, disappear after a while if the searched page itself disappears; or they get overwritten in time. This variety of nostalgia, regret, and protestation has been around since the end of "the War." It is understandable but growing weaker. I used to get mail solicitations from that SPLC with a picture of a lynched man in the envelope, a long time, to me, after even the modern civil rights killings. I imagine that Center has done some good since its inception; but if I recall, its founder has made a good living doing what some can call watchdogging and others can call branding people as haters. And if you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I certainly wouldn't take my marching orders from the SPLC; and the reaction of the newspaper smells of piling on as holier than thou on a historically salient issue for the region.
