Sometimes it's your supporters who hurt you

The likes of Nathan Bedford Forest and his epigones over the years have done nothing good for the repute of white, Christian, Western Civilization.

Nor have the likes of David Duke or William Luther Pierce done anything for white pride.

So when black people in general hear some white fellow crowing about white, Western, Christian Civilization they smell the burning cross, react with hostility, and reject such talk as racist.

Generally, in fact, they are right.

But when whites who have never in their lives had the least thing to do with white hatred of others witness so hostile a black reaction to talk of white pride, white identity, and white Western and Christian Civilization, they are shocked at what they perceive to be black hatred of whites.

Sometimes they're right, too.

Degrees vary.
