Ohhh and for the record, unless you are a Native American, the word Tribe is a Jewish thing.

If you meet someone who you think is a fellow of member of the tribe, you might work in oh are you a tribe member too?

So no, neo-nazis are not the new blacks and they sure as hell aren’t the new Jews.

It is damned insulting.

Strongly disagree. Other groups have had tribes at various points, including a number in Europe (eastern AND western). Yes, many of the ones you are likely to have heard of were clans, not tribes, but there were many, many tribes as well. Not all native american cultures were tribal. Other groups have a legitimate claim to the term ‘tribe,’ even if you aren’t familiar with their usage. In fact, there are even groups that use the term ‘tribe’ that doesn’t closely fit the current historical meaning, and people still manage to get not all pissy about it.

There are better reasons to be ‘damn insulted’ about neonazis than to manufacture outrage because neither of you are very familiar with the term ‘tribe’.
