As I pointed out, someone wanted to have a USENET newsgroup "alt.politics.white-power" created so they could (presumably favorably) discuss issues related to white supremacy. I disagree with the idea, but I ain't reading it, so I did it. I created that newsgroup, something like 15 or more years ago.

This moves the people who want to support this idea to their own reserved place, allows them to expose their ideas, and makes it less likely people interested in this sort of thing will act out to get exposure to their ideas, and thus potentially reduces the possibility of violence since they can expose their ideas where other people can see them instead of sweeping them under the rug or trying to make them harder to be seen.

This does not mean I agree with the idea, I happen to think white supremacy supporters are the type of crazy person people accuse me of being. But just because I disagree with their opinions does not mean that I think they should be suppressed or silenced. We're a better country than that, and we can stand the crackpot opinions of some dissatisfied misanthropes who think that race or color should be a factor in deciding how to judge a person.
