White Supremacists Who Support Barack Obama

I just read that a few white Supremacists actually support Barack Obama. It's a crazy idea, but they explain their reasons.
One explains that from reading Obamas book, he believes him to be a racist and he has no problem with black racists. He quotes Obama: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s white race'.
He goes on to say that he doesn't hate black people, just believes it's in the races best interest to be seperated.
Would that not make this guy a 'seperatist' rather than a 'supremacist?
Another guy says 'Obama might be a better candidate for our cause because he’s racially conscious. One of our big things in the National Alliance is to raise the racial consciousness of our people. Young whites in universities, they’ve been stripped of any kind of racial identity. Obama may be a racist in a positive sense for his people--that will awaken a lot of the whites, knock some sense into them. They’ll see that non-white Americans are allowed to be proud of who they are, to be racially conscious, to talk about their people or their community without being attacked as being racist. Let’s face it, white people aren’t going to fight for their causes, for their kind with a white president.'
Another guy says that 'White people are faced with either a negro or a total nutter who happens to have a pale face. Personally I’d prefer the negro'. Reading on from what he's saying I think that he'd rather have a black President than a white one purely for his feelings on Jewish people. He says he doesn't want a President who will 'fight endless wars around the globe to make the world safe for Judeo-capitalist exploitation.'
On the other hand, one of the suppremacists thinks that a black President is a bad thing for blakc people. He reasons that like Martin Luther King, Obama will be a traitor to black people, in his pursuit of white acceptance, leaving black people behind.
Interesting stuff!

None of this thinking makes any sense to me. Barack Obama is a perfect example of white and black mixing, not white and black separatism. And as making the world safe for Judeo-capitalist exploitation, Obama is a big supporter of Israel, and one of his first cabinet picks was a Jewish guy. But I think it is true that the white supremacists are generally happy about the Obama election because they are expecting an influx of new white supremacists and because they finally have a valid reason to claim that the white race is being oppressed.

Barack is a different breed, I don't see much black in him. I mean he was born in Hawaii, raised by Whites, & went to school in India. How black does that make him?
What he is, is special & that is why he's our New Pres.

As far as Obama marrying a black woman and Thomas marrying a white woman, the heart wants what the heart wants. Obama clearly had issues with his mother but I don't know I would say that was a black and white one even if he claims it to be. I just wonder if that mother/child bond may have never been developed.
Obama grew up in a different time where it wasn't considered acceptable. Being mixed was considered a stigma. Today it is much different and the issue of being mixed doesn't come up as much as it used to. Where I live I know several mixed couples with kids and in my own family. No one thinks anything of it except in places it isn't seen much, then you might get some looks.

IMO White Supremacists never do or say anything that does not promote their own agenda for keeping racism alive and well in the USA. I personally do not give a crap what they say in reference to Obama as they are not to be believed or trusted.

I guess all I really have to say to this is I don't care what White Supremacists think or say because I don't think they're worth even discussing. If any of them claim to support Obama I have to think it's just a ploy to incite violence and hatred.
