When the word came in last night that Barack Obama and the Democrats had won national elections in something close to a landslide, millions of Americans went to bed satisfied that even if their candidate didn\u2019t win, democracy had survived. The lopsided results made it clear that this election had in no way been stolen.<\/span><\/p>\n

But not so at Ole Miss, which last month marked the 50th anniversary of deadly segregationist riots. Shortly after midnight, several hundred mostly white students\u00a0protested furiously<\/a>, reportedly yelling anti-black racial slurs and throwing rocks at passing cars.

There is no denying this. The sun has set on humanity\u2019s greatest era: 1500-2000. \u2026 [T]he only way to survive this war of Annihilation is separatism. \u2026 [W]e have to choose regions or states.\u201d<\/div>\n
