>There is currently a proposal for the newsgroup rec.music.white-power,

>"White power" racist music is not a legitimate form of music deserving of

>But, most importantly, we must show the racists that they will not be

>a Usenet where minorities feel unwelcome and uncomfortable, vote NO on
>rec.music.white-power. Let's make this a crushing defeat for racists.
