As to the first part, damn, I hope not. (You know they wouldn’t have you and me even if we wanted to be part of their bigot club, right? Jewish people aren’t considered white by white supremacists.) As for the second, their posting policy is pretty much like that of any other site with heavy moderation. (Except for the part about the “White people of European decent.”) As to the third, how is this surprising? Yes, there are social networking groups for everything. You could, I am sure, find networking groups for furries, paragliding Midwestern social studies teachers, or golf ball enthusiasts with the briefest of Google searches. Being surprised that white supremacists, members of a regrettably powerful political entity, have formed a social group is only surprising if you think racists don’t use the internet. They do. Boy, do they ever.

Think for a minute from the perspective of a person of color reading your site. There’s a link to, and a splashy screencap of, an organization that has convened with the express purpose of hating and dominating you. It’s got to be an ugly feeling, right? Consider the traffic you may be bringing this site. What I’m really asking is, considering all the damage they do, does the benefit of raising the profile of a hate group outweigh the attention you’re bringing them? A wishy-washy “well, I wouldn’t join them,” while well intentioned, is not a substantive critique, and doesn’t really do anything to combat the mission of a group like this.

I looked a few articles back, and I saw you posted something critical of other bloggers who didn’t respond when you linked to them. Do you want a thank you from New Saxon? Because if linking is such a great favor, it looks like you may have unintentionally earned a hat tip from them, “this network is not for me” notwithstanding. I mean, you’ve said harsher things about twitter.
