967: 707:) doesn't mention anything at all about being "racial nationalist". It merely says, in passing, this is a far-left nationalist party. This is not the same as "black nationalist" or "racial nationalist" or "fascist". This source is not about the EFF's ideology, and should not be abused to support an unrelated point in this way. It's also pretty funny that this source is from almost literally the opposite side of the globe of the issue it is covering, but since it was presumably a wire story I guess it doesn't matter for its reliability. 31: 420: 612: 919: 993: 853: 444:
sense for this party to have "black supremacism" listed under its ideology, just to keep the style consistent. This is another clear example of Knowledge's editors racial bias. Purporting a black liberation movement as being "anti white racists". Admin "Drmies" is one of the racists forwarding white supremacy over Knowledge.

money lending by the Vatican. Strasserism also preached all human beings were equal. If they could integrate. But strasserism is by some reason considered far-right. Even thou it's clearly were socialist in its aims and goals. The only reason he is not considered at the same spectrum as Malema is because he is an European.

This is not worth addressing as a personal matter, but since a claim is made on the talk page I'll address it, briefly: the IP editor has been edit-warring over content is clearly verified, and it's been pointed out to them that they should discuss the sourcing on the talk page. They haven't done so,

So that they make rather disgusting personal attacks is not very surprising: they're pissed at being prevented from disrupting the article, and thus have to resort to this childish behavior.

Antisemitism is very similar in its core to the ideas of Strasserism. Which promoted an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialism jew sceptical ideology. Mainly due to the Jews overrepresentation in banks and idea of making more room for more germans. Because of the policies that restricted Christians from

I agree with the other users that it is not really appropriate for the infobox. Mainly, "anti-white racism" isn't exactly an ideology, and isn't described as such in the cited sources. Since it is a new addition and is contested (with only one user I see supporting inclusion), it should be excluded
443:
I rarely see "racism" of any kind listed under the "ideology" heading of any political party on its wikipedia page. Even obviously racist parties such as an explicitly neo-Nazi party or something. Generally such parties have "white supremacism" listed under their ideology section. So it would make
893:
Two things. First, from what I can tell that is not the reason why the EFF's critics accuse the party of being "racist". I will let you read the article/relevant section to see what and why the party's critics make that allegation. The second is that Knowledge simply reflects and distills what is

263:
This article is grotesquely lacking in information. The likely reasons behind this seem to be related to the above criticism from Pseudonym. There is no positive information about the party whatsoever -- meaning nothing affirmative. What is the party's platform? What are its stated aims? There's

I've removed anti-white racism as ideology, since none of the sources stated support such claim. EFF does not porpose it's ideology as being such and there are no reports that sustain any type of systematic violence against whites being practiced or endorsed by the party. Henrique Mirenda
544:, which would probably self-identify as white supremacist, whereas allegations the EFF is black supremacist would be rejected by the party. It is inconsistent and, less academically, "a bad look" that only a majority-black group gets this formal description (without even an "alleged"). 1076:
Should this really be in the wiki page at all? Especially under anti-black racism when it is from a relatively minor figure about something that may not even be motivated by racism (and if the person in question is Black, and I'm pretty sure they are, I think that is the case)?
1072:
So the incident described there doesn't really seem like the EFF has Anti-Black racism as a part of its movement or philosophy. Rather, a relatively minor figure within the party impersonated someone else i assume to make it look like White people are racist.
894:
commonly understood to be fact, it is not the arbiter of fact. If you want to challenge the accusations of racism against the EFF then this is not really the best place to do it given the range, volume and quality of source material making that allegation.--
558:
Let's make a few things clear: 1.) We don't make a judgement of what takes place on this article, by what takes place on a different article, that's not how Knowledge works. But if you believe that racism should be included in the ideological section of the
624: 1141:
At any rate, if it shows there have been instances of it within the party (i.e. 1 Black person who happened to be a member of the EFF) does not reflect actual EFF policy, especially if it is not sustained. This therefore, shouldn't be included.
86:
2) Even beyond its clear POV slant, the tone of the edits was totally unencyclopedic (e.g. "Malema ... has a red beret with the inscription on it which he doesn't know how to wear properly", etc.). The POV pushing wasn't particularly subtle;
96:
I'm no fan of Malema or the EFF, and I think the many criticisms of them should be included in this article, but it should abide by NPOV. And it should be in a "Criticisms" section, not take up the whole article, as it briefly
745:
Personally I think Strasser was a left-winger like Malema. I have no problem labouring EFF left-wing many left-wing movements have had racial motives. I just have a problem with people like Strasser being labelled far-right.

Community consensus has seemingly determined that it's worth mentioning some instances of racism by the EFF on the page. It's referenced by a number of sources, therefore I see no particular reason to remove it.

I think an RfC on the tag of 'anti-white' is maybe needed, but if this article is that contentious, editing sanctions might be an idea as well, if they're not in place already.—

It would be worth mentioning it somwhere, but the heading anti-black racism implies that this is a part of the EFF's movement, and this incident doesn't exactly show that.
