It's the taboo subject you're not supposed to talk about - Barack Obama's safety in light of the rise of white supremacists in America. ANP investigates in Memphis, Tennessee, where our cameras infiltrate the Stormfront.org Euro Conference. We probe the minds of the Anti-Defamation League, the Racist Skinhead Project and David Duke to assess legitimate threats to the next U.S. presidency.

David Duke looks like he could be a co-worker of mine. Scary.

Did Sarah Palin talk about "terrorists"? These are the people who made the most hateful noise in McCain-Palin-rallies during the general election--and they are clearly domestic terrorists. As such, Palin was indeed palling around with terrorists! She heard their noise; and she did nothing to stop it. Indeed, she encouraged it, choosing division over hate, just to satiate her ambition to be President. God willing, the broader vision that Obama represents and embodies will triumph over hate and division. Oh Lord, protect our leaders--and let small-minded people and the dark forces of this world see and embrace light! The vast majority of our young people are leading the way of hope! Those among them who are brought up in hate, may they soon see light!

What is your point?

I remember that skit - it was absolutely hilarious. Parody and sarcasm are often used in humor, or hadn't you heard?

I tell you now, that there will be hell to pay if any harm comes to President Obama. The whites that support him are far more in numbers than those who are driven by hate. It will tear this country apart.

This is absolute bullshit. Any underground organization which specializes in the art of bigotry, hatred, murder and all types of illegal activities is just like AL QUEDA. Americans do not need to go far to the middle east to fight their enemies again. The enemies are right on your door steps.

These hate mongers can not stop O from executing his duty as the 44th POTUS.
As the saying goes: "The dogs may bark but the caravan moves on".

Doesn't "Obama's White Supremacist Threat" mean that Obama has threatened white suprmemacists?

This kind of hate is toxic. Little people afraid of life and anyone who is not of their clan or kin are a threat. They are hollow people who fill themselves with hate to mask what is missing from their lives. Without hate they have no purpose or voice but hate makes them feel, for a moment, complete.

It would be sad if it were not so dangerous.

What tripe. 1. You do not know David Duke's unspeakable history; 2. You're unfortunately uninformed about Rev. Wright; or 3. You are disingenuous.

Not even close. Even David Gergen went off on a republican strategist on CNN for that kind of statement. Rev. Wright was a decorated Veteran that gives him the right to criticize our gov't for the atrocities and hypocrisies of domestic and foreign policies. David Duke just spews vitriol that he and those that share his ideology deserve a more than others because of the color of his skin.

There was nothing wrong with what Rev. Wright said. If there weren't a nation full of David Dukes's, Rev. Wright wouldn't have anything to talk about. Now imagine that.

Pt. 2
My daughter was over there a while ago & her friend's Dad played a "20 questions" game with her. Do you like salt or pepper- weird questions according to my daughter. I was uncomfortable with this so I pressed what else was asked & she said, "Well, he did ask whether you guys would prefer me to have a white or black boyfriend." I almost lost it, but kept my composure & asked, "And what did you say?"
She said, "I told him that you guys wouldn't care." *exhale* Good Girl.

As I proudly displayed my Obama gear, the mom was cancelling their newspaper because it came out in support of Obama. Their son stated in my class that he would be "ashamed" if Obama became our President.

This is a family who seem to fit the "model" of a good, moral family. They love their children,are responsible, contributing members of society. Yet, they are bigots. They are very sly about it- they know better than to say or do anything too openly as to invite criticism. But the kids don't know any better when they let things slip. I certainly don't fault the kids- they believe what they are taught at home. I grapple with this, unsure how to handle it. But I find myself showing them ways that embrace diversity and fight the toxic thought process of "white is right" whether it's through comments that I make, lessons I create in class, or through my actions.

Teach the children well, to quote an old song.

These people already began to question your kids about YOUR intents and beliefs as a parent, completely inappropriately. It was none of their business. They didn't do this because they want to leave well enough alone. They intend on feeding your kid a steaming hot plate of their racist crapola. Shun them and protect your children.

This is very scary. But what makes me sad is how deep racism really goes & you don't know always who harbors those feelings. One family in my neighborhood is extremely racist, but cover it well on the surface.

As disturbing as this video is, racism, intolerance and hate will always exist. Racism is not an American problem, it's a human problem. Hopefully, with enough education and discussion we can reduce their numbers and make them irrelevant.

There are very, very few nations in which racism has played such a central role in the country's history. Yes, people all over the world are racist, but it has rarely harmed so many, so seriously, and for such a long time.

Perhaps this is the reason for the FEMA camps being built all over the country now .. to house these kinds of wackos .. removing them from the general population .. American seems to have taken a wrong path over the last eight years. One where fear and hate won the day ... It was like Ice Cream for the bigots of our nation ... Change is coming folks.. A place where we get to mend our distrust for each other. say No to bigotry, intolerance, homophobia, live & let live...... silly I know , but I CAN dream cant I ?

My thoughts exactly. MLK had a dream and just look at our President Elect! The last eight years were "like ice cream for bigots", as you say, but now the adults will take charge ;-}

I watched the video and cried. It was deeply disturbing, and I am so afraid to dream. I had a revelation the night those two skinheads were caught in TN. I was laying in bed with my husband and I told him that I was scared for Obama. The next day, they caught the skinheads and it was all over the news. So ironic, that I live in TN, just outside of Nashville. I am elated, and sometimes, I start to dream, but then I catch myself. I remember, Kennedy and King and I pray. I pray every night, that good wins out this time, just for once. Never underestimate the power of prayer. If we all pray, he will hear us.

These fools are terrorist, plain and simple. There's no room in the US or the world for this kind of garbage. They are no different than the muslim terrorists they claim to hate. They should be removed from society if they take any action of any kind that puts anyone in danger. WTH is wrong with people here with this much hatred for others. Sorry, but the country is moving on and progressing so I guess these goons will be the low life garbage that gets left behind.

Their freedom to gather, and express themselves ends at my rights to do the same.
Planning or preparing for violent action crosses that line, and puts them firmly in the terrorist column.
