Here's the part from the above linked article that pertains : http://mountainhomemag.com/issues/apr08/mcgilliland.php
"Gilliland loves his community enough that when a deluded Neo-Nazi racist moved into Potter County aiming to make it a center of the white supremacist movement some years back, the editor realized after a time that covering him “objectively” would make the newspaper a handmaiden to evil. He decided to help the good people of Potter County throw the mod cut for language out of town, and they succeeded."

As long as there is ignorance, there will be racism. I saw a post in the Alabama forum a few days ago by a black biker who was only looking for other black motorcyclists. Unfortunately, racism exists in all groups. I can't change that, but I can change how much of it is around me. I just choose not to have racist friends.

Hi Can anyone here tell me if there is any connection to the white supremists and the numbers "888" I received an email from someone who is interested in adopting my dog, and those numbers are in their address. I remembered seeing 888 in another email address in the past, where the person made homage to hitler. Please advise ASAP as I don't want to give my dog to him, if so. I'd ask him, but if he is, he wouldn't admit it.

I know absolutley nothing about any meaning in white supremacy cause I know nothing about that.
However, in Chinese culture, 888 is a symbol of "good fortune". Some people will pay lots of $$$ to have 888 in their license plate. They look for addresses, phone numbers, etc. with 888--as it is said to bring good luck to one who is lucky enough to have it.

According to THE CANON by William Stirling, the number 888 can represent the Limitless Expanse of the Cosmos, considered to be an attribute of God according to Hebrew number mysticism, the Cabala. Hardly Nazi!
I think you mean 88, which among racialsts stands for 'Heil Hitler' because H is the 8th letter of the alphabet.
So what?
Am guessing he just typed some numbers in quickly because other parts of his email address were already taken. I seriously doubt the person you met is either a racialist or a cabalist, but just a guy who likes dogs. Now, if his license plate sez DEWU88, then he's a Nazi
