I'm posting here in hopes of gainng some insight into what, exactly, contemporary white supremacists believe.

I'm a left-leaning white female who believes--quite staunchly--that the concept of race is socially constructed, and that skin color alone doesn't signify any inherent differences in mental capacity/crime rate/etc. While I understand that many "white power" people attribute their beliefs to supposedly higher crime rates among minorities, I think that (in cases where it can't be attributed to institutional racism) any disperity between whites/non-whites is largely due to socio-economic factors.

However, I totally understand that many of you probably disagree with me on this. I also understand that many of you are afriad of losing your culture or "muddling" your race.

What I don't understand, however, is how this justifies slavery, lynch mobs, genocide, etc. Do you think that these things were just, or you find fault in them, too? Do you simply believe that races should be separate to protect unique cultures, or do you legitimately belive that whites are "better"?

Please note that I'm trying to be civil here. I don't expect to "convert" anyone, nor do I expect my own views to change. I am simply trying to see the logic behind something that I don't understand. Thanks!
