White Supremicist Satire
To your surprise and mine, it turns out there is such a thing. And as is so often the case, what begins with satire ends in actual murder and suicide.
—Jonathan Schwarz
Posted at April 10, 2008 11:51 AMWell, it's fundamentally sad that even white supremacists are affected by life's surprises.
I am reminded of:
Take a bucket and fill it with water,Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining
Is a measure of how you will be missed.
Some poem from wayback when.

Posted by: Aaron Datesman at April 10, 2008 06:52 PMI think I remember seeing this fellow on one of the Stormfront boards when I first realized white supremacists were loose on the Internet. He hailed from "the Jew-infested Catskills," I seem to remember it saying before his icon.
I think someone should make a poem for him.

It's just a poem, Aaron, and not a very good one at that. Thousands of entries on Wikipedia prove it's not really true unless you personally want it to be true.
Warren Zevon could have made something of it, but as it is, it's something one points to when employees ask for a raise...or someone expires a particularly empty life.
Still, it's a nice zen thought -- that bucket of water...

Ill of the dead
Even tho he shaved
His head
And built his life
Around hate
Until the price
Became so great
That he took
His own life
Its just to bad
He killed his wife
