== Promotes "White supremacism" vs "the interests of White Americans" ==


{{sourcecheck|checked=false|needhelp=}}
The article currently uses "White supremacism" as opposed to the whitewashed euphemism "the interests of White Americans". This information is cited to reliable secondary sources<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/summer/filling-the-void|title=New White Supremacist Party has Mass Electoral Ambitions|author=Larry Keller|publisher=|Southern Poverty Law Center|accessdate=2012-02-03}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.adl.org/NR/exeres/FAB44571-F59A-4AE3-A121-8583CFE9E5DD,DB7611A2-02CD-43AF-8147-649E26813571,frameless.htm|title=Backgrounder: American Third Position|accessdate=2012-02-03|publisher=Anti-Defamation League}}</ref> and is not a "false statement reflecting non-neutral POV".

::I think part of the non-neutral POV argument stems from the fact that other ethnic advocacy groups such as ] and ] are not referred to on their Misplaced Pages pages as Latino/Hispanic Supremacist groups, and are permitted euphemisms such as "promoting unity and empowerment" or "improving opportunities" for their ethnic groups, despite their history of publishing racially inflammatory literature and their promotion of the ] nationalist concept in the United States. There seems to be a stark disparity between the descriptive treatment of 'white' ethnic advocacy groups vs. other ethnic advocacy groups within the[REDACTED] community, which does support the non-neutral POV argument. Also, with respect to this or any group, there should be a distinction made between what the group 'promotes' as an organization, meaning what it argues for or advocates in it's published literature, and what the personal views or histories of individual members are. Attributing the personal views of some members( as promoted outside the organization) with the entirety of the organization may be painting with an overly broad brush. ] (]) 14:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

:::] is not an acceptable argument. We should be making it clear what reliable sources say about the organisation, not just what it's PR says. ] (]) 16:16, 5 February 2012 (UTC)


This group has been putting up stickers and fliers much the way Patriot Front and other White Nationalist groups have been doing. I have scoured Google, but could not find a single article about it, all I have seen this on is their Telegram, but it is possible they are attempting to make a resurgence, so when an article is published about the AFP stickering campaigns, I will update the page. Patriot Front appears to have started a copy-cat trend, hint: Folksfront.
:::: Whether the SPLC constitutes a reliable source when it comes to how it labels organizations like A3P would make a good topic for a whole other discussion, some of which . Given the fact that the SPLC's fund raising largely depends on them identifying new 'hate' or 'supremacist' groups to raise public fears, I do not think their choice of words should be accepted as 'reliable' without specific citations on their website to justify those claims. Clearly, non-profit does not mean non-biased. While they may or may not be a reliable source as a clearinghouse for certain statistical data and objective facts, the terminology they use appears to be very subjective in some cases and is often unsubstantiated with independently verifiable sources within the press releases where these pejorative labels are used. Because they have a financial stake in labeling groups "white supremacist" and "extremist", I think their claims should be held to a high standard of independent verifiability before being used for citations by Misplaced Pages.<small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
