There are various ways to look at this. One way is the opinion that the Minuteman and similar points of view are in nature racist. That's of course up for debate. And there's the matter of invidual persons involved in the Minutemen\/SOS\/etc. I was saying I've seen indications of racism, regardless and separate from actual racism. As for actual racism, I wouldn't use a few words because explaining isn't that simple. I know that a lot, probably most, people involved in the MM are trying to be  nonracist and regard their efforts as &quot;patriotic,&quot; heroic, law-abiding, etc. Most aren't in daily contact with the main leaders. From my interaction with some of them, especially very recently, some of them seem to be in denial of the possibility of organized racism invovled, don't care about it, don't want to believe it, are open to the possibility of it existing but changing, or are so desperate for their efforts that they're willing to let it slide(like perhaps Debbie Sattler in regards to the Gilchrist crowd and rallying now with SOS members).","author":"Jammer CC","parent_id":162282,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2006-06-09 03:16:11","modified":"2006-06-09 03:16:11","fileurl":""}]}
