I was sifting through my web site statistics when I found yet another inbound link from a hate-spewing, neo-nazi, white supremacist website. It’s the type of thing that happens when word gets out that yet another Swiss-German, anti-racist, feminist, ally, man is blogging about social justice issues. The white supremacists link to your site and visit in droves. Jim S., who graciously nominated me for the award, has commented on my site a couple times and has left hundreds of bigoted comments on the aforementioned (not directly linked as I refuse to send link juice in their direction) site.
The full text of the award is as follows:
“We ought to have a thread for “wussified liberal race traitor of the week.”
I nominate Eric Stoller!
Translation: This guy is blogging about racism and he’s white! What the hell are we going to do about him? Let’s call him a wuss (notice the way they weave sexism into the award, I think that counts for double!), a liberal (they must have found out that since I do not identify as a liberal that this would burn like a paper cut) and a race traitor (I prefer the term: “social justice patriot”).

This is awesome! Congrats! That just shows you are doing a good job.
Ummm….congrats?
definitely a dubious “award,” but I figure I might as well translate the original nomination into an award…
Keep it up social justice Patriot! Hopefully they have a thread juxtaposed for minorities, so I can win an award for “betraying” my race by wanting equality and justice for all.
Ignore and just move forward. There are all kinds of people on the net.
W00t! Congrats to you!
Congrats!
Let’s celebrate!
If they bad guys hate you, you must be doing something right!
(I don’t necessarily want to call people of a different set of beliefs or ideologies ‘bad’ but… well, you know)
This made my day. I’m having a bad one, actually a bad week. There is hope out there. I mean if the white supremacists react so childishly, using names, its probably because they don’t have a leg to stand on. Keep up the good work.
Hey latinamericanprincesa! Thanks for commenting. I hope this week is a better one. Cheers!
