I would rather see the creepy Nazi types waving their swastika banners and shouting their slogans...than live in a country that had all sorts of laws muzzling them...

I am glad that even the fringe elements have the right to speak their minds....The fact that we can also laugh and make fun of them is a good thing too!

To each their own...

Well, I'm not you. Those Neo-Nazis are a threat to me, as a Black man. I know those Neo-Nazis would love to see me dead. In fact, violence has come from them.

Don't act like the double standard doesn't exist. You're not fooling anybody.

And you say the reason it didn't get much attention is because the Black Panthers are *time to make excuse up* "tiny and insignificant." Pal, I'm comparing it to two teenage girls here. lol
I never commented on those girls nor on the "Black Panthers" before this. In fact, when speaking in general terms, I have gone so far as to say that I respect people like those girls more than people like you, if for no other reason than that they at least have the courage to outright state what they believe about those "dirty n*ggers." I've had a whole lifetime of having to listen to white people say what they really think when they believe it to be "safe."

I have never claimed racist rhetoric from blacks is treated the same as from whites. Given the history of murder and state-sponsored discrimination against blacks, you'd have to be a fool to not predict the differing reactions from many quarters.

You asked me why there is such a disparity in reaction between the two cases. I respond that few care or even know what the "New Black Panthers" are and that they are insignificant. Tell me, why do you think it isn't front-page news when the Aryan Nation makes racist proclamations and calls for violence against minorities? For the same reason. People have justifiably concluded it is a fringe organization of kooks and their pronouncements are entirely predictable. When two teenage girls make and broadcast vile, racist pronouncements, it is much more newsworthy.

Now, why don't you answer my question: Why isn't it front-page news when the Aryan Nation or some other right-wing, hate organization says things similar to what you claim about the "New Black Panthers?"

It would be a waste of money to fire a missile at three people. The NBPP is practically insignificant but they are used as a lightning rod by neocons... White supremacist are a stain on America's sheets... The people that make up the white supremacist movement are responsible for more terrorist attacks than Muslim extremist historically...

As a Black man who has considered going to North Dakota for work, I do not want to be around those kinds of individuals. It would make my life quite hard. I look at it like this. Low crime rate, low unemployment rate. Sounds like a good place for me. I don't want some Neo-Nazis trying to turn it into a "no Blacks allowed" zone.

I would never look for work in Detroit or Philly or Chicago.

Most North Dakotans aren't going to give you trouble, same as most white people everywhere.
