White Supremacists Are Targeting College Campuses Like Never Before

[HereIStand]

Actually, it's not true, Nazis were not actually socialists (not in the sense of left-right politics discussed today), that was more a tongue-in-cheek phrase (mostly because many right-wing conservatives like to point this out as if it means that current people that identify with left-wing ideas are Nazis). But it certainly proves the point that, people like ascribe something to "teh left" without regard to history or context, like the Democratic Party being the party of racism is supposed to somehow connect to the current party while attempting to divorce the remaining racism in the South from Southerners who have now shifted to the Republican Party. The racism is the same, but the party name differs.

Caucasian students were not held down, but I understand the distorted idea being pushed.

Actually, Nazis were socialists and were early green socialists in the sense discussed today, as the book Green Tyranny documents. "Few know today that the Nazis were the first political party to champion wind power, Hitler calling wind the energy of the future."

I think the increasing presence of white supremacists on campus is not something borne of the student body, I think they're mostly outsiders. That is wholly different from on-campus discourse seen on college campuses. If anything, I think the right-wing college students like to flirt with white supremacy without going full hog. They often flirt with it under the guise of free speech, but my attitude is if they really are all about free speech, why don't they invite some Hoteps or Black Israelites on campus?

That would be inclusion, which is the opposite of the intended message, that whites deserve to have a special interest group as well as any minority group does.

This brings to mind a disturbing program I watched awhile back on the KKK in America today. One of the co-leaders of a branch gave his story about his roots, of going to a school where he was one of a handful of white people in a predominant black school. From listening, it struck me of how he allowed his tormentors to win, to the extent they left and everlasting impression and influence that led him to where he is today. Could this have been prevented? If so, how?

That's historically true. My point is that the campus left has for years bemoaned the evils of white folks, while producing segregated spaces for black, Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, Native American, Asian, and gay students. Isaiah Berlin's bent twig theory then took effect. Caucasian students were held down are now lashing back in fury.

Many gay students are caucasian.

But I know what you mean. However, I diasgree. Caucasian students have not been "held down". If they had been, the backlash would be anti-holding, not a lame variety of white supremacism.

It is true that there is a certain amount of knee-jerk ridiculous talk that is just so much progressive-sounding talk. But that doesn't create a backlash of white supremacism. No, these are outsiders pushing their lame brand.

That's odd, when I was in the kkk, we didn't watch any movies.

Gay whites are seen as allies by the campus left. White students are held down in the sense that they're told their ancestors were racists and that white students are beneficiaries of white privilege. They must bear the guilt burden. Since any type of Euro-student center or emphasis would be seen as racist on campus, white supremacy from the outside has filled the vacuum. Christianity could fill the vacuum, but its activities are restricted on campus.

This is news to me. I'm not saying you are wrong, but when I have been a student / worked at colleges there has been no shortage of Christian activity on campus. How do you mean it's restricted?

It was a documentary about them, they were being filmed, and the most disturbing part is the pretense of Christianity they claimed, when there is no support for racism of any variety under the banner of Christianity. Just the opposite is true, nothing infuriates me more than racism under the pretense of Christianity, as though the two are compatible or harmonious, when it is a glaring contradiction.

Oh, yeah... heh, I see what you mean now.

Looks like some of them may have.

Seems silly.

I guess you can identify with a lot of Muslims then.

An evangelical college has had its accreditation challenged because of a Christian proscription against gay sex/marriage in its conduct statement. That being so, it's all the more difficult for student groups on secular campuses to maintain similar traditional Christian stances. Christian groups are forced to blend in with the campus secularism or be shown the door.

I have come across quite a few Muslims online who speak out against white people just because the color of their skin. Which I always thought was weird, considering there are a lot of white Muslims.

I'm noting an extreme lack of examples in the article.

Probably the author realized that it would be a hard sell to convince people that messages like "It's Okay to be White" or speakers like Ben Shaprio constitute a danger from white supremacists. Or maybe she herself doesn't know what any specific examples look like and is just merely passing along the message which fits the desired narrative.

How's that now? You mean we don't want to hurt em'?

I think you might have misunderstood or misread something, otherwise explain what you mean. Thanks.

Golly. Surprise, surprise. What could possibly account for this?

The reason is that because our churches are failing to hold to true repentance and holy living and are depending on the programmes of men instead of the Holy Spirit, God is pronouncing judgment on the nation through allowing these things to happen. This is why there is an escalation of murders, homosexuality, prostitution, the occult, New Age, race riots, murder of unborn babies, haters of God and Christ, increase in terrorism, school shootings, and other crime. God is giving us up to our sins, because the churches have been self indulgent and self seeking instead of following the instructions of Jesus to get out there and seek and save the lost. Until the churches wake up and start praying and seeking God for Him to break up the hardened ground of complacent, cold believers in their congregations who are content with their three hymns and sermon, crime will get worse until the nation becomes totally lawless and life will become even cheaper than what it is now. Don't blame the devil for this. This is God's judgment on our nations to signal that it is time to rock the boat and get right with God.

We have mega church leaders saying that they are moving in the power of the Holy Spirit and that God is with them and that everything is progressing well. They are the same as the false prophets of Israel saying, "Peace, peace; when there is no peace".

There are faithful men and women of God praying for revival and agonising over lost souls, but there are too few of them and their voices are drowned out by the showmen preachers in their big meetings making false claims about the signs, wonders, and miracles that are happening in their services. In reality, 99% of sick people who attend those services go away unhealed. And those who receive Christ and then are introduced to dead churches, go away thinking and saying that Christianity is a fraud. Maybe the way that the church they went to made them think that way.

You expressed frustration with people who take your religion and twist to fit their own agenda, an agenda that is anathema to your faith. This is the same feeling many Muslims feel when they groups like Al Qaeda perverting Islam. Your statements demonstrate how much you share in common with your Muslim brothers and sisters.

Absolutely

While you have a point, there may be (or not) many Muslims who feel that way, I do not know, nor do I believe there is an accurate way to measure that sentiment or view. The problem is with Islam or more specifically the Qur'an and the teachings of the notorious Prophet in Islam, Muhammad. One very significant problem is "The Quran describes Allah as the best deceiver there is, a liar who is not above using the same evil and wicked schemes of his opponents." SOURCE So how do we know which Muslims are sincere, and which have other devious intentions and future schemes?

Your statements demonstrate how much you share in common with your Muslim brothers and sisters.

Except I do not embrace religious pluralism, so I only consider them brothers and sisters so far as the flesh is concerned, so far as us being one human race. However, I prefer not to use words "brothers and sisters" loosely, but reserve it for brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ, in the Christian sense, recognizing the deity of Christ.
