by As perceptions change and a minority Race is perceived as rising above the power majority — the result is a growth in hate crime rates — and the rising, public, face of hate-seeking organizations like the Aryan Nation pound us asunder.
In Detroit, the neo-Nazi Aryan Nation have taken a child’s indulgence and made it ugly:
Auburn Hills police are seeking information about who is responsible for placing racist and anti-gay fliers inside plastic Easter eggs and tossing them onto residential lawns.

New York provides safe harbor to 31 hate groups:
New Jersey hosts 44 hate mongers:
Should we tolerate these hate groups?
Or is it in our best, shared, interest to find a way to neutralize them before they decide to come for us?

I think that’s right on point, Gordon. You can’t spew the hate and then not deal with any of the consequences other take because of your beckoning.
I love it that James Cameron is taking on Beck:
