So, today Larry Auster calls me “a knee-jerk liberal blogger.” The full entry can be found here. I think it is interesting, that there was not one link to my site, or my page. Not one mention of me. (update: there is a link to my entry, but it is on the word “finds,” so I don’t know how intuitive that is.) Yet, he disliked being called out as a racist so much he commented on it. So, today’s entry is in response to Larry and his post about me. I will ignore the fact that he is afraid to link to me as to have a proper display of information.
(In all sense of fairness, I did edit the entry today. There were problematic sentences and spelling errors, but I honestly did my best to not change any meanings or specific terminology that was originally used. I simply tried to make it flow better and convey my points more succinctly.
Specifically he states:
A knee-jerk liberal blogger, the type who takes the Southern Poverty Law Center as his authority, came upon View from the Right, this entry in particular, and finds it indistinguishable from the neo-Nazi Stormfront.
So… I’m not a liberal, but I don’t even want to get into that. I’m probably more liberal than Conservative, though. But, let’s just place our own labels on people and that way we can dismiss them without actually using talking points, definitions, discussion and debate. For instance, Lawrence Auster is a racist. Farther, I did not use the SPLC as my authority. Larry, I found quite a few interesting tidbits of information about you from all over. Even your Wikipedia entry is a bit interesting (and brief). I just said the SPLC classified you as a racist before I did. But, yes, I did say your site felt like Stormfront. (I did not say I found it indistinguishable from Stormfront, just that it has the same “feel.”) Majority of all of your bitches are about non-whites, Larry. That is the same thing as the Stormfront website. The biggest difference is that Stormfront complains about “Jews” as much as every other “non-white” in their classification.
Mr. Auster, I will attempt to answer your questions.

Ughs. Sorry, nothing lighthearted today, again.
**I stated in the original entry that I would edit and update this entry when I had some time. Since, it has already received comments, I felt I should make time, to truly represent myself and this site.**
I saw Carl Hancock Rux stated that he was looking for the entymology of the term “post-racial.” (Spell check recognizes Entomology but not Entymology.) I was curious myself, and started a simply search query. I ended up on this blog entry, on “A View From The Right.” The tagline for the site is “The passing scene and what it’s about viewed from the traditionalist politically incorrect Right.” The blog is authored by Lawrence Auster. So, if this is a “View from the Right,” this is why I don’t consider myself either “Left” or “Right.” I had to look up Lawrence Auster, after a few pages of reading. I admit that I did not know who this man was prior to finding this site. Once again, the Southern Poverty Law Center beat me to classifying this man’s persona as it should be classified.
The entry that led me to this site was on a blog entry entitled “What is Post Racial America?“ I thought, “this might be interesting, I’m curious myself.” Well, Auster goes on a rant about minorities, specifically non-whites, and blames them for all of the racial issues in America. He states that post-racial is not here because of minorities refusal to accept white supremacy. (That is what I took away from it.) There was not one mention of any racist acts or issues perpetrated by whites in his entire entry. I would be remiss if I were to do the opposite, and simply blame White America for all of America’s racial issues. Still, who was it that classified “race” in America? Who drew the lines? Who set up the levels of privilege based on “racial” classifications? Anyway, the whole point of this long boring story is the few interesting points it raises.
I perused a large amount of the site. Let me say that the front page of the site appeared very similar to Stormfront. Everything is slanted against everyone and anyone who is browner than Anglo, but especially those of African diaspora. Almost every story is one regarding Blacks and/or Muslims (in a negative light). This is not just “politically incorrect.” It’s racist propaganda. (It is politically incorrect, because it isolates such a large voting base, there is no way you can achieve any level of success in this representative government.) Sorry, Larry, you are just a racist. You can hide under any umbrella you wish, like “traditionally conservative.” (That would make you a Democrat, wouldn’t it? Since the Republican party was traditionally the part of equal rights.) You can even hide under the guise of being an idiot. I am being a bit brash, but it is because I’m just tired of this racist rhetoric hiding under the guise of being an “unpopular truth” or a “conservative opinion.”
So, Mr. Auster, do you mean Conservative as a supporter of an aristocratic monarchy with subjugated peasants and surfs? Then, yes, you are a Conservative. So is Kim Jong Il, apparently.
