White Supremecists Are Sad, Sad Little Men.
I recently watched a History Channel show on white supremecy groups. I did not see the glint of intelligence in the eyes of the people shown. Except for their acts, they are laughable.

In general you are right although I acknowledge the careful reasoning of athling for how their leadership isn't necessarily so stupid. But I'll say this, I've known a few people big on white supremacy and quick to insult minorities, gays, Catholics, etc. Every one of them I ever met was a meat head. And despite all their tough talk the truth is they're afraid - they're afraid minorities will kick their butts or advance ahead of them to become their boss or actually even become their friends. So out of fear they decide they must hate and resist all of them and dream up outlandish conspiracy theories about them. Being afraid is indeed "sad, sad little men" as the debate heading stated.

Yes, but that's true of all Christians, not just the white supremacists.

Not much to add. When you're right, you're right.

Your premise is based the idea of some old rednecks in white sheets worrying about black men destroying the white race with unwitting innocent white girls. There are active supremacist groups recruiting in every major city in the U.S. Now. And times like these with the economy and our Iraqi invasion just feed the discontent that groups like this thrive on. I wish we could label them as societies rejects and forget about them, but history shows us that philosophy can turn on you quick.

Well I am completely against the idea of any coloured supremacy white,black,brown, etc.

However it is a mistake, and quite a dangerous one, to think they are all stupid.

Hitler was a very clever and capable man, he was able to turn the German economy around and get people to love so that they didn't care what is racial views were.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE MY COMMENT AND CHOICE TO VOTE "AGAINST" AS A MEANS OF SIDING WITH THE SUPREMACISTS. BUT IT IS A DEBATING SITE.

A majority of those involved in racist organizations normally are mindless lemmings who are easily swayed one way or another; however, there are those involved who posses an intellect that should be feared. Feared not because they posses an intellect, but because they are able to use that intellect for vile and hateful means. These "leaders" know how to feed off of the hate and rage many of these "foot soldiers" have in them. It takes a certain amount of charisma and intelligence to be able to successfully do this.

"White" supremacist groups such as WAR (White Aryan Resistance) and The Aryan Brotherhood have people behind the scenes who are smart enough to evade the law and fund certain projects. This takes an intellect. The same thing pertains to MS-13; a very large ultra-violent gang that has been found in 41 states and responsible for terrible crimes against American citizens. They boast a membership 10, 000 plus. While a majority of them are low life scum, there are "leaders" operating behind the scenes who pull the strings. This takes a certain degree of intelligence.

While I mostly agree with your post, I have to point these things out. There is a larger picture to examine, especially when it comes to these types of groups. Never let the cover of a book sway your opinion of its pages without reading the book. The same pertains to people.

 Of course the leadership is ummm...more intelligent?. I should have been more specific. I was thinking of the rank and file.
