stormfront forum

As I was browsing through stormfront to find a blog that related to my specific topic I stumbled upon a forum that had a video attached to it. I saw that it was from ESPN and it instantly made me think of the ESPN news story we watched in class. I have attached the video below.

     

I have noticed many times as well as the discussions we have has in class that white nationalists have a big issue with the media in general but specifically ESPN. Since they feel that the media is run by the Jewish population they feel that ESPN is deliberately making false news stories that are uplifting for the black community and thus causing the white population to either feel guilty or give respect to the black population. From what I have read on this video's comment section the white supremacists feel that this is taking another thing away from them and that everyone is disrespecting the accomplishments of the white man. As I see it and I'm sure most of the people in this class would agree this is just uncovering another interesting part of history but to the white nationalists it is just another fictitious tale about the achievements of the black man.  As I read through the first few blog posts for this video and even the posts that were on the YouTube website there were many people saying that this story was fabricated and kept referencing that there is no "ice" in Africa. I am not sure if they missed the part of the story that said these were American born black people that had escaped the south and made their way north and on up to Canada or not but it is pretty closed minded to actually believe that the CHL isn't at least partly responsible for modernizing the game of hockey. Many also made reference to the NFL and NBA and how they are black dominated sports and that the NHL is the only sport that "they have left". Since the sport is predominately white they can't believe that African Americans helped to mold the sport. In addition to the bloggers on stormfront questioning the validity of the story and the book "Black Ice" some posters also call out the writers for being Jewish and have no evidence to back it up even if it were true. It is interesting that most bloggers say that they didn't think any black people lived in Nova Scotia it's as if they just refuse to accept history and would rather rewrite it in their own one sided ways. White Nationalists would rather deny the fact that other races helped to form a sport instead of enjoying the fact that it exists and that it is more entertaining because of everyone that has contributed to it.
