It was deeply moving and will leave a lasting impression on me and, I'm sure, all who attended the event. We must never forget.

I do not routinely email people who leave comments to let them know I have responded, instead relying upon people to check back. I do try to respond as appropriate. As to trouble with the blog allowing you to post I will look into it. Because of a major increase in spam I am now moderating comments so they may wait in the que for a day or two. I do not stop posts simply because the view of the poster disagrees with me. I will not get into a defense of the SPLC for their decision on categorizing the MSU YAF chapter as a general hate group. Those wishing to read the reasons given by the SPLC should read <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=869" rel="nofollow">an article written by the SPLC</a> . Those seeking to understand the opposition should search for articles published in <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com" rel="nofollow">FrontPageMag.com</a> ; as well as the MSU YAF web site. Finally, SPLC does identify various Black Separatist organizations as hate groups. Kevin, thank you for your comments.

I've also had some trouble with this blog allowing me to post. One of my problems with the SPLC is their labeling of Young Americans for Freedom (MSU Chapter) as a "general hate group." This is in lieu of a single incident, but they do not endorse, nor have any doctrine, of hate. However, they are a right-leaning, conservative group, & the SPLC has a tendency to label these groups as hate. Another is the ideology that the SPLC portrays; the notion that only white people are capable of hate. There's a seemingly infinite number of articles relating to neo-Nazi's, the KKK, and various other white supremacist/anti-immigration groups...yet not a single in the other direction. They follow every tedious move and word of Chris Simcox; yet Kamau Kambon, who openly called for the extermination of white people on C-SPAN, brings a search result of 0 articles. "We have to exterminate white people off the face of the planet in order to solve this problem." -Kamau Kambon (C-SPAN, 10/14/2005) This was declared on a federally-mandated national channel. The SPLC, who's supposed main objective is to fight hate, completely ignores. Sorry for the delay in responding, I didn’t get any notification that you had commented back.

I've spoken with John personally about this initiative and expressed my strong support and enthusiasm for the project, which I think it an incredibly important one. I would love to see it spread beyond Flint to a national scale and will do what I can to help do so. Meantime, best wishes to John and all the students at SWA who are behind this wonderful project!
