[Jamil, I'm having a bit of difficulty with this. Specifically I don't see how a WN (White Nationalist) could by definition be supporting a cause that wasn't racist on some level or whose rally would not be completely composed of racist **** by definition. Maybe you could argue that if they were rallying to support entitlement reform or the voter fraud commission you could make the case that someone might support the cause without supporting the group but it would be hard to get beyond the racist subtext of the group sponsoring the rally - such as whose entitlements they most would like to see reformed]

I rather doubt that many within that group are obsessed with race 24/7 in everything they do, just like on the other hand, homosexuals are just as complex as any of us and don't spend all day every day obsessing about buggery. There is no reason why a WN can't
grumble about the county increasing its wheel tax but they still haven't fixed the damned holes in the road without race every entering his thought process on the matter.
