...DIED. RICHARD G. BUTLER, 86, founder of the white-supremacist group Aryan Nations; in Hayden, Idaho. Butler, who developed his racist ideology after witnessing the caste system while in India during World War II, became a high priest of white hate, preaching that blacks were inferior and Jews evil. His movement spawned chapters in a dozen states and contacts around the globe but was effectively bankrupted by a $6.3 million lawsuit in 2001 filed by a woman and her son who were assaulted by Aryan Nations guards outside Butler's Idaho compound...
...have it both ways in the battle over civil rights, speaking in a code that signaled his support for segregationist groups but in words so vague that he could later deny that they meant anything at all. The Senator from Mississippi appeared as recently as the 1990s before a white-supremacist group, the Council of Conservative Citizens, telling its members that they stand for "the right principles and the right philosophy." When confronted over the remarks later, he denied any "firsthand" knowledge of the group's beliefs. For years, the tactic worked for Lott, who used it mostly in small...
...uttered public statements regretting the end of Jim Crow. He voted against a federal Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. "Racial discrimination does not always violate public policy," he wrote in a 1981 amicus brief defending Bob Jones University's ban on interracial dating. He has hobnobbed with thinly veiled white-supremacist groups. It took several attempts last week before he could manage to say that segregation is immoral. Everything Lott has done and said in his career suggests he doesn't view the civil rights movement as a vital bedrock of modern America. This moral and political blindness does...
Despite the positive steps that Harvard has taken in embracing blacks, Harvard attitudes about blacks have and still do raise serious questions. Harvard’s “position” on diversity has not erased the school’s track record as a source of white-supremacist scholarship throughout the centuries and down to the present day. Many of us have been to Agassiz Theater without knowing that Louis Agassiz was a professor of zoology who asserted that the education of blacks should be based on their latent inferiority, meaning that they should be trained solely...
...abhorrent as I find the very idea of the white-supremacist "hate-core music" promoted by neo-Nazi William Pierce's Resistance Records [MUSIC GOES GLOBAL, SPECIAL ISSUE, FALL 2001], I am strangely comforted by living in a society strong enough to tolerate such idiocy. It would be worse to live in a country where the enjoyment of music is prohibited, as in Afghanistan under the Taliban. Of course, Pierce dreams of a day when he and his mediocre clan can have Taliban-like power over the masses, but until then people like me are free to denounce him publicly...
