    Wouldn't it be something if BBS's became the replacement for groups/message bases covering white supremacy and white nationalists, since Facebook and Google has banned them spreading their ummm information?

    Food for thought.

    i think 'white nationalists' are a media creation.
    i dont think there's a strong base of white supremacy in the usa, either.

    My guess would be that they do most of their serious talking on the dark
    net. They probably only get on public sites, like FB, when they want to
    stream to the general public.

    I think we all know what a white nationalist is - Someone interested in preserving "white culture" (whatever that might be), and who is opposed to interracial marriage, etc..

    I think what you have described borders on "racist" and/or "supremacist."
    Some nationalists might be those things also, but I don't think you can lump them all together.

    Trump makes statement that people from other countries should try to
    assimulate into our culture and learn our language -- press says "white nationalist!"

    Obama just recently makes a statement that people from other countries should try to assimulate into our culture and learn our language -- press does not even call him a "nationalist."

    The only difference I see, aside from political party affiliations, is that
    one is white and one is not.

    In the press these days, "nationalist" is always preceeded by "white" so
    that people immediately think "supremacist." It is a made-up term to put emphasis on the race of the individual that made the statement in order to cause a point of division among people that would normally be getting along.

    True, you can't lump them all together. The key phrase is "white nationalist", not just nationalist.

    I think they're jumping the gun a bit by calling Trump a "white nationalist". Even if you don't like Trump, IMO it doesn't really make sense to insinuate that what he says is racist, as "white nationalist" seems to do.

    well there's nothing wrong with preserving white culture, black culture or any culture, or purple culture long as nobody gets hurt. are they against interracial marriage? i'm not sure.

    malcolm x was interested in the betterment of his race and wished no harm on other races in a similar fashion.

    i just started hearing this white nationalist shit after trump got elected. i think it's a ploy by the media to fool us into thinking we are living in society where things are getting worse and racism is on an increase.

    if you talk to someone that lived in a time period where racism was prominent you wont find that true.

    media should be held responsible for what it is doing to our society. these companies are ran by powerful people who know that controlling what people think is the one true power.

    no, it's not that either. it can just be that you want to retain the unique aspects about your race. when people want to do things that harm other people then that's a problem.

    I still say you are confusing "white nationalist" with "white supremacist."
    The former is a media creation to make nationalism sound racist by making
    it sound like only white people want it. The latter is a form of racism
    where white people believe their are a superior race.

    Honestly, I am surpirsed they did not call it "white male nationalism" just
    to make it sound even worse.

    It's NOT racist to be a Nationalist, it just means President Trump put's our country above other countries, in other words he puts the good ol' USA 1st.
    he is not an idiot globalist like Obama is.

    "White Nationalist" literally means you are for the "White nation" based on the idea that lighter skin color is a race.

    Now I will admit, I was wrong above, Trump declared himself a "Nationalist" not specifically a "White Nationalist". However, in the context of the topic he was speaking about, the "White" can be easily assumed.

    Had he said "American Nationalist" I doubt many people would have batted an eye.

    White supremacists/nationalists/sepratists have been identifying as "White Nationalists" for centuries. It's not a new thing perpetuated by the media.

    By Trump syaing that he is a "Nationalist" then just for the heck of it lets say CNN reports that he said he is a "White Nationalist" adding the word white takes it out of it's true context and promotes a falsehood of what was actually said.

    I've seen attempts to rank the media, and the better attempts were done by groups trying to get the widest sample of people from different backgrounds
    to do the ranking. Even then, there's questions about whether the reporting being reviewed is the result of political bias, or just poor fact finding.

    unfortunatly freedom of the press makes it near impossible to hold
    media services accountable for lies or misleading articles.
    there should be a media ranking website that ranks all media.
    it could use a ________ meter ranking system that goes from 1 to 10.
    that would be cool.

    factcheck.org poitifact.com

    Those are two places You may like to look at.

    I like what I read on snopes.com too.

    snopes is slanted politically and they dont have any knowlegable fact checkers.

    Honestly, I am surpirsed they did not call it "white male nationalism" just to make it sound even worse.

    Just give them a little time and they surely will. I was called transphobic once and had to tell them i'd been a baptist forever.

    LOL!

    Wouldn't it be something if BBS's became the replacement for groups/message
    bases covering white supremacy and white nationalists, since Facebook and Google has banned them spreading their ummm information?

    No it wouldn't be something - it would be awful. I would refuse to belong to
    any network that allowed groups like that.

    lots of BBSers are interested in getting more people into the hobby so that'd be pretty bad for buisness.
    who'd want to try out a hobby if they think its swarming with white supremecist folks?
    i dont want white supremecists potentially ruining this for folks.

    While I understand your sentiment, if avoiding a swarm of white
    supremacists (or any other fanatics) was really a deal breaker for that
    many people, there'd be no internet or social media. Numbskulls are everywhere, and they love social media.
