I have a question about the Minutemen
I seem to recall reading (here? can't remember) that the Minutemen were affiliated with a racist (white supremist) group. Does anyone have any information regarding this? I'm having a "spirited" discussion with a co-worker on this subject. Thanks in advance!

1. Don't know if it's been established...
... that they have any formal alliance with white Supremacists. As this blurb on Wiki suggests, the National Alliance tried to piggyback on the Minuteman project:

That said, there probably are crossovers within the group. That sort of effort would attract white supremacists.

Cheers.

2. Thank you for this info
I'm guess I'm looking for hard and fast evidence that there is "racist" component to this Minutemen project.

4. I thought at first that you were
talking about the band the Minutemen! ;) And I know they weren't affiliated with any such thing. :silly:
