Their overall goal is great. I don't like the rhetoric that they use as its needlessly inflammatory, thus potentially scaring away helpful people who wish to avoid all forms of racism. If they presented the gist of what they want from the get go, that risk wouldn't be present. As far as the content goes, its foolishness in my opinion. JOHN FUCKING BROWN is a white supremacist? Anarchist are racist because black masks incite violence against "blackness"? The latter says to me that they know nothing of the nature of blackness or of white supremacy. It's pretty clear that racist whites hate not only the color of the skin, but the African culture that it implies. Skin color is merely a heuristic. That being said, I don't equate my African identity with the color of an object such as a mask.
Anyways, thoughts?
