You might post a couple of examples of AR's fucked up content just to ensure that everyone knows how bad it is off the bat. Posted below are the examples from the McCain chapter. Also, I'm going to search for more and better examples to point to - then do a piece on Donald Douglas for Huffington Post and get him exposed as much as possible, too. The guy really couldn't have answered my question in a more self-destructive fashion.***The venue in which the article appeared, American Renaissance, correctly bills itself as "Americas premiere publication of racial-realist thought;" as of this writing, the website's main page features an article entitled "Transition to black rule?" in which Obama is compared to Robert Mugabe and other African tyrants. "Let us hope whites all over the world save their newspapers from November 5, 2008, with their extravagant headlines and dizzy hopes," the piece concludes hopefully. "Let them reread them 10 or 15 years from now and let them think of South Africa." Much of the content consists of news item aggregation puled from mainstream sources, with a marked emphasis on stories concerning blacks who have committed crimes, anything that happens in Zimbabwe, reports on negative effects of immigration, and even more stories about blacks who have committed crimes. Each of these get the American Renaissance touch by way of none-too-subtle subtitles. Let's take a look at a couple from the site's main page as of January 2nd, 2010, shall we?
RapeSilent War on SA Women - Another legacy of apartheid.A Quiet End for Boys Choir of Harlem - Destroyed by scandal and tax problems.Slaying of Drug War Heros Family Shocks Mexico - Our lovely neighbors to the south.Foreign Models Flock to China, Which Embraces a Western Vision of Beauty - Even the Chinese have officially fallen for blondes.Out of Control Crowd at JFK - Only passengers flying to Haiti required police intervention.Illegal Alien Arrested for Slashing Throat of Elderly Woman - Another illegal turns on his employer.California Safeway Store Doors Unlocked During Christmas . . . People Leave Cash - Ad hoc honor system probably wouldnt have worked in Watts or East LA.
My personal favorite of the site's original articles found on the main page at the time of this random viewing, though, would have to be "Whitewashing Jack Johnson," which concerns efforts by John McCain to bestow a pardon upon the infamous black boxer. Not so fast, Senator! It turns out that this uppity Negro was an uppity Negro! Ah, but then I'm giving away the story; as contributor Addison N. Sheffield relates:Jack Johnson, who was born in Galveston, Texas, but later moved to Chicago, was the original loutish celebrity athlete. In the early 20th century, when white supremacy was still the norm, he taunted his opponents both in and out of the ring, and boasted about his endless fornications with white women...
... This, then, was the background to Johnsons prosecution under the Mann Act. The act, passed in 1910, got its name from its chief sponsor, Congressman James R. Mann (R-IL). The statute authorized federal prosecution of anyone who transported a woman across state lines for immoral purposes. Congress claimed that its authority to regulate interstate commerce could be used to stop the white slave trade. The act was part of a series of religious and Progressive Era reforms aimed at civilizing American society, and the city of Chicago took part enthusiastically in this effort. Johnson, however, continued to flaunt his insatiable sexual appetite, especially in the aftermath of his victory in the fight of the century"...
...I predict this most recent attempt to rehabilitate Johnson will succeed. After all, he is just the sort of black person we are supposed to admire: In his prime, he could beat any white man in the ring and he debauched untold numbers of white women...On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 1:46 PM, Barrett Brown <barriticus@gmail.com> wrote:
Seriously, the fucker claimed to have read all my McCain articles and clicked on all links, now says he's never heard of the American Renaissance piece. I mentioned that more than half-a-dozen times, linked to it directly a couple times, and linked to pieces in which it's linked to in all of the articles.

Wow. So he was actually a subscriber to American Renaissance. That explains a lot. And he tries to defend them too!Now we know why Donald Douglas and RSM get along so well.

Already haven't slept since Saturday afternoon and have been invited to give a lecture at Rutgers on Tuesday morning, so fuck. The Daley Gator or whatever will have to wait. I don't know how you handle having so many enemies; the more handful I've got are already blowing right into my schedule like a fucking fuck thing that blows.

Yes, looks very good. I didn't spot any factual errors.
"Deranged fissure" is about right.
