I despise the very concept of white supremacy, but I'm old enough to remember when the ACLU went to court to fight for the KKK to hold a rally. That would never happen today.
I've also seen over the years people burning the American flag. Every time I see it I get extremely pissed off, but I would never support any law forbidding it.
We spend far too much time debating the issues themselves instead of thanking God and our Constitution for our right to have those debates freely.
On some level, everyone is one definition of racist or another. Part of human nature is to have a preference for the familiar, and to socially fit in. One way this can manifest itself in the real world is to have a racial in-group preference, which to some may be considered racist. This doesn't necessarily even mean people dislike other races on account of their race, or think they are less human because of their race, it simply means people prefer other people more like themselves. And this is hardly a crazy idea, nor is it--if anyone is being really honest--even a controversial one. It's entirely natural, and manifests itself naturally all over the place.
This is part of why most of the rest of the world are still, to this day, ethno-states. This is why you see organic racial segregation in mixed populations at the micro and macro level. Go take a stroll through a large high school and you'll find the kids tend to segregate along racial lines. Communities in large cities have "china towns" or "hispanic areas" or "black neighborhoods" in part for these same reasons.
It doesn't just end with race either. Ethnicity, religion, political philosophy, interests, age groups, etc. People prefer to be with people more like themselves, generally speaking. And why shouldn't they?
The problem is that white people, for some reason, have allowed themselves to be conned into thinking they aren't allowed to do what is totally natural and acceptable for everyone else. No one cares if hispanics, blacks, indians, natives, or asians have in-group preference. No one cares if women, gays, muslims, or jews have in-group preference. But when white, male, Christians have in-group preference, suddenly it's a great evil that must be stopped, and rather than say fuck that BS, we've all just tacitly agreed.
Thing is you have a RIGHT to be racist. People may not like it but as long as you don't act on that racism to hurt anyone, so what?
I agree with you 100%.

They only did it for press.
It used to be good press to have values and claim to stand for them. Now? Simply assign false values to your enemy repeatedly and there is your press.
I'm not sure how honorable the press ever was,its just more blatant now.

As free thinking people, we can make our own decisions on who we associate with.
Our families and local communities can have a huge impact on that.
When the Federal Government writes laws that enshrine racism?
That's when we are "slaves" to divisiveness.
Bias based on looks/ethnicity is perfectly natural, or "sciency" as the retards like to say.
