The video is dated from September 2006, but it has had more than 2 million views. (2,237,584 views as of today). The link is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmbSupnmK8k.
The weird part is that if you click on the link from my blog, the racist green box is not there anymore. It must be an add on. You do see it if you go directly to the URL. Here's what it looks like:
The Web site it sends you to spells out a plan to a create a separate all-White nation in the Pacific Northwest. They even have a flag. So, at the very least, this is treasonous.
If it is a joke, it is a poor joke. If it is for real, it is to be condemned.
I skimmed through the Web site and found something more disturbing. They claim they support peace. But it is the brand of peace created by separating the races. They also complain about how the media has stereotyped their movement:
"When you say 'Northwest separatist' most people conjure up a vision of a religious nut living with multiple wives out in a cabin on a mountain, or else some shaven-headed, tattooed punk in a compound screaming 'White Power' and giving a Hitler salute with one hand while waving a can of beer in the air in the other. Like all stereotypes, these are mostly false and the creation of hostile government propaganda, but there is enough truth behind them to sting. We haven’t been as good at presenting ourselves as we might have been in the past."
So, what they are saying is that they want to carry on the ideas of white supremacy without the overt symbols of white supremacy. At best this is a brand of quieter racism, and a silent racism is as dangerous as an overt, offensive racism.
I might have just ignored this posting, but I couldn't. We need to look at this ugliness to know the evils that lurk out in the world.
