Gonna preface this by saying I'm not a nazi or a member of any hate group. I think that people are more alike than different, but i think i might have a little bit of perspective on the neo-nazi thing that a lot of you don't. I'm a white guy who just finished a 7 year prison sentence. I spent the entire bit in max-security prisons and knew a lot of men who were covered in swastika tattoos, 1488 tattoos, and some of them just had (poorly done) portraits of hitler. They didn't get into that because it was fun or because of some irrational, ill-informed hatred of a different race. Most of them got into it, or learned to think that way, because of years of forced interaction with people of color (mostly black, in the state I was in the whites generally get along with the Mexicans) who were a constant threat and an unending source of aggressive, childish behavior that you NEVER stop hearing no matter what time of day or night. There was very little time during my entire sentence that I didn't hear a black man screaming vulgar nonsense about *beep* white b****es while using their bed frames as a surface to make beats on till 3 am while screming rap lyrics about their imaginary life as Tony Montana. In most black gangs it was okay (speaking about where i was, i can't speak for anywhere else) to have a sex case, rape isn't that big of a deal if you freestyle all day about slapping and pimping (ie: extorting) women. But those same gangs went out of their way to extort any white person who had a sex case or was gay. Most of the nazis (they didn't ever call themselves neo-nazis) were hateful and angry but also wanted to protect themselves and their brothers from people that never stopped acting like children and made life hell for anyone with a set of eardrums. I'm not excusing racism or trying to say that every black inmate everywhere is a loud-mouthed, rapist, gangbabnger. But to say that everyone who considers themselves a nazi is ignorant, or that their ideology didn't come as an understandable reaction to years of exposure to ugliness and threats, is a mistake. Nobody is calling the vice lords or the crips a bunch of racist dumb-asses because they are openly violent towards anyone they don't like, victimize white people whenever they get the chance, and pride themselves on abusing women, and those gangs kill a lot more people than any group of nazis on the street ever will. These are ugly places that produce ugliness, but you can't assume that they are stupid.
