Should The White Nationalist Party be on CF in the politics board?

[LostMarbels]

I have to be honest, I kind of flipped on this guy, but he's is trying suggest a new forum section for Unconventional Politics Section. He then wants to make a section for the White National Party so he can talk in a safe zone. I do not know if their could be a more racist party in America. I personally abhor racism.

But the question is.... do we discuss this? Is it his right to post? If I am not mistaken even Trump had a run in with these guys or something.

There are plenty of places on the Internet for white nationalists. Heck, there have been people on the Politics section on CF that have spouted some positions that would be at home with white nationalism.

If I am not mistaken even Trump had a run in with these guys or something.

I believe there's a Super PAC that's been stumping for him, supported by the American Freedom Party. That doesn't mean that Trump vocally approves of the group, but his speeches have certainly fueled the energy of racist groups. Today's white nationalists put on a really convincing show, eschewing bed sheets and swastikas for dog whistle language like "European-American," "Multiculturalism," "Western Civilization," and the like.

Actually if you look on their PAGE they are quite militant and have KKK, Neo-Nazi, Neo-Confederate, and Aryan Brotherhood symbolism everywhere.

There are a few people who post regularly in American Politics who are entirely sympathetic to his views. They are allowed to post their views without being called out on their name.

Why not have a safe house for bigots and racists? That way we can easily see who self-identifies.

Allowing people who hold these views to speak on this forum is one thing. Unless they're being disruptive or harassing other users, then they should be allowed.

However, if there was a special section for white supremacists to gather and feel "safe" on this website, I'd ditch it in an instant. That kind of mindset is disgusting and shouldn't be promoted, especially by a website like this.

I was speaking of the group stumping for Trump. I understand that there are still many obviously racist neo-Nazi groups in the United States, it's just that there are now also groups that have a polished image that doesn't scream white nationalist, and I think that's really dangerous. The American Freedom Party has a very sanitized website.

Perhaps we should bring back the political party badges so we can see just who's waving a swastika around here.

Well, when you put it that way, I have to agree with you - it should not be promoted.

But I do like the idea of being able to see who is who in a safe house. Not that it takes much to see who is who from their general posts.

Whenever you try to silence ideas you don't like you essentially leave them to fester just beneath the surface, but the bad ideas don't go away. People don't stop thinking what they do just because they're told not to. At least with it out in the open, you get to see who's who and what they think and can respond accordingly.

For one thing, it isn't a real political party. It's a small club. Does it have ballot status in any state? If not, that should preclude any consideration.

Where's the "Social Conservatives" political party then?

That only came about because me and another old member, and both of us were republicans at the time, were not considered republican enough
for a group of other republicans at the time. So they petitioned for a separate safehouse to exclude us.

It had nothing to do with a political party.

That's my point.

 

[JustOneWay]

That's my point.

That is why there is no reason why there should not be a white nationalist party house if there is a demand.

I agree. No point in doing that unless the mods want to get this website on the terrorism watch list.

 

[Rhamiel]

there should not be a safe space for "white nationalists"

but if they can be civil then they should be free to speak their views like anyone else

 

[stamperben]

I want them to come out in the open. But maybe they're afraid of being marginalized.

 

[One Voice Among Many1]

If there are people like that on Christian Forums, I would also like to know who they are.

To be fair, the guy is a fifteen-year-old who's evidently just discovered this brand new thing. You know how teens get when they latch onto something. Anyway, I think he's been banned.

Last year, my seventeen-year-old (then) got all het up about 9-11 conspiracies. I didn't really dissuade him because it's better that he learn at a young age that just because someone is convincing doesn't mean that they're telling you the truth.

I imagine the guy'll be back with a whole new set of beliefs when he's old enough to post here.
