From reading around the web, I've noticed people being more outraged by the Nazi element than the white supremacist element - even though there is no way to separate the two. People were dwelling on the Nazi aspect more so than the racism that binds them all. If that makes sense.

WW II Nazis were - and the current crop is - racist. White supremacist/white power groups w/o the Nazi icons are racists.

Bottom-line - all racist.

They call themselves Nazis because they hate non-whites and non-Christians and anyone not straight.

White power/supremacy is clearly anti- everything and anything not considered white. (and Christian, and straight)

Yeah, Nazis are disgusting. No disagreement from me. But let's not pretend that racism isn't the root cause for all of them. I know WWII and the Holocaust makes seeing Nazis all the more repugnant to most Americans but for me - it's the Holocaust, slavery, Jim Crow, Native genocide, anti-semitism, police brutality, homophobia, disparity in justice - all of it. When I see these racists, no matter what they call themselves - I see all of it in them. All the hate. All the atrocities. That's what they represent to me - all of it.
