So, liberals like ProgressivePatriot are again (still) pushing the idea that white supremacist are a big POLITICAL force, which is why I put it here.
They are very vague over what that is.
IMO, it is because they want to point at groups like the White Prison gangs, and say w.s., and get laws passed and make rules to go after people.
But then do a bait and switch and actual use as a definition any republican.
So, I ask the question if anyone has seen any serious information the issue? I mean, the FBI claims they are a big threat. But as far as I know has released no information on how many there are.
I read an article on this concept a while back which I cannot find, but I remember the crux of it.
Consider this.
"On Nov. 5, 1996, Voter News Service — the organization hired by the TV networks to do exit polling — asked people at the polls, who had just given Bill Clinton 49 percent of the vote, Bob Dole 41 percent and Ross Perot 8 percent, how they would have voted if the Republican candidate had been Gen. Colin L. Powell. In an exit poll sample of 3,697 (three times the size of a standard high-grade public opinion survey), the result was this:
Powell: 50 percent.
Clinton: 38 percent.
Perot: 9 percent."
"Most significantly, General Powell would have won the race because of the support of white voters — Bill Clinton outpolled him 2 to 1 among the blacks surveyed. Among white voters, whom Senator Dole had carried very narrowly (too narrowly for him to win), General Powell clobbered the incumbent, 53 percent to 33 percent."
AND, consider it in relation to a few years later, when a voting population that would have been mostly the same.
in 2008, Barack Obama won 52% of the vote.

Now, "white supremacist" is a pretty vague term, but, imo, a w.s. that is comfortable with voting for a black man to be the most powerful man in the world, is a w.s. in name only. A WSINO, if you will.
As most people vote by party, so we see in 1996, 50% of the country was ready to vote for a REPUBLICAN black candidate. And then we see in 2008, that 52% of the country was willing to vote for a DEMOCRATIC black candidate.
Lets see, add them together to get a total number of people willing to vote for a BLACK candidate to be the most powerful man in the world, and then subtract it from 100 percent, and you get a hard number on the maximum percentage of the population that is POSSIBLY serious about white supremacy.
THOUGH it is important to point out, that just because a person would not have voted for Powell or Obama does not mean that they are a w.s. They could be any number of reasons for that.
But it should give a MAXIMUM ceiling on what the number could be.
So,
50 plus 52 equals 102 percent.
100 percent minus 102 percent, leaves... negative two percent.
That indicates that there were quite a number of people that were willing to vote for both Powell and Obama...
There seems to be no population left over for the w.s.
They seem to be a tiny fringe.
Discuss? And of course, anyone with any hard numbers, please share them.
