A new DVD is a hit among white supremacists looking for a smart-sounding defense of their beliefs.
Contrary to its title, “A Conversation about Race” isn’t really a conversation about race at all, but a slick 58-minute documentary devoted to proving the thesis that racism is a bogus concept invented to oppress whites. Debut filmmaker Craig Bodeker — who appears in his documentary with a surfer-style blond ’do, collared shirt and jeans — is upfront about his project:
“I … can’t think of another issue that is more artificial, manufactured and manipulated than this whole construct called racism,” he says in a voice-over as the documentary begins.
Later, on camera, he continues: “This construct of racism is not an objective term. It has no concise definition. In fact, it’s used too often as a tool of intimidation, like a hammer, against Caucasian whites.”
To gather a range of responses from people of various racial and ethnic backgrounds, Bodeker placed an ad on Craigslist and did man-on-the-street interviews. Here’s an excerpt on Youtube.
Bodeker – reminiscient of other white supremacists operating in the public eye like the organizers of the English Defense League – is smart enough to never come out and make any obviously hateful remarks, however, an enterprising reader of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch blog tracked comments Bodeker had made under his Youtube handle “Craigbe” in response to other videos on Youtube that reveal his truly debased outlook. I’ll place the samples of his comments below the fold because they are so offensive:

HIstory of recent right-wing terrorist attacks in the US:
* Jim D. Adkisson murders two church members in a liberal Unitarian Universalist Church in Tennessee on July 27, 2008. “It appears that what brought him to this horrible event was his lack of being able to obtain a job, his frustration over that, and his stated hatred for the liberal movement.”
* Richard Poplawski guns down three Pittsburgh police officers on April 4, 2009. Poplawski, a white supremacist, believes the government is going to take away his guns.
(update) * Joshua Cartwright killed two sheriff’s deputies in Florida on April 25, 2009. Cartwright’s wife said her husband “believed that the US Government was conspiring against him. She said he had been severely disturbed that Barack Obama had been elected President.”
* Scott Roeder slays abortion provider George Tiller in his church May 31, 2009.
* James W. von Brunn, a white supremacist, opens fire today at the Holocaust museum, killing a guard.
Presciently, Obama’s DHS issued a report in April warning of increased right-wing extremism. Conservatives loudly panned the report, and got all hissy and indignant that their followers were being persecuted.
Fox News and its recently lauded “alternative reality” owns a large chunk of responsibility for the upsurge in violence.
As long as Fox News and the Noise Machine refuse to back off the incendiary language that they’re actively mainstreaming, the political violence, visible just months into Obama’s historic first term, may have only begun.
