Talk:White supremacy/Workspace-People

This is a controversial topic, which may be disputed. Please read this talk page and discuss substantial changes here before making them.

Contents

This page is for discussing who to list as "Contemporary White Supremacists" in our article White supremacy. It is not a reliable source of information. Putting a name on this page is not an assertion about that person's political beliefs.

It is important to distinguish White Supremacists from White Separatists. The majority of North Americans who are part of the "White Power" movement reject "Supremacism" as a label, and consider themselves advocates of racial separatism or nationalism, which they see as opposed to racial supremacism. Most "White Power" activists are opposed to living in a multi-racial society, whereas racial supremacism demands a multi-racial society. Even if you regard this as a trivial distinction, they do not, and therefore it is unencyclopedic to ignore this issue.

[edit] Policies

This section is for setting policies about who should be listed.

Note that the article will be stronger if we keep the list short.

Question: should Wikipedia have a list of Separationists somewhere?

[edit] Contemporary

The article used to list people who died as long ago as 1956. I (CWC(talk)) don't see how anyone who died more than 25 years ago can be regarded as "contemporary". What about 10 years ago? 5 years? I've somewhat arbitrarily picked the year 2000, and removed everyone who died before then. Feel free to disagree.

Other options:

  • We could also add a list of "Recent White Supremacists" to the article. The problem is, where would we stop?
  • Another option would be to add a new Wikipedia Category, and tell readers to go to its Category page for the list.

[edit] Neo-Nazis?

Is it correct/fair/encyclopedic to classify all neo-Nazis as Supremacists? Or are some Separationists? (U.S. and Canadian neo-Nazis will tend identify themselves with one of these camps, but it is likely to be hard to classify neo-Nazis outside North America into one of these groups.)

This section is for discussing individuals who might or might not be White Supremacists.
