White supremacists to gather in Tenn. – USATODAY.com

White supremacists to gather in Tenn. – USATODAY.com: A Caucasian heritage and $75 are the price of entry into this weekend's international conference for white supremacists in East Tennessee organized by Stormfront, the oldest website devoted to the "white pride, white power" movement.

Like a Facebook for white supremacists, Stormfront is the virtual gathering space for like-minded people to meet, post and respond to messages, tell jokes and offer political commentary in a variety of labeled discussion groups that range from "fighting white genocide" to poetry.

The Tennessee conference represents a rare offline gathering for Stormfront members. The two-day agenda includes a luncheon and workshops on immigration, political organizing and communications by some of the movement's best-known contemporary leaders.
