Race Loyalty

Interesting comment on Michael Steele's campaign in Maryland:

A blogger's depiction of Lt. Gov. Michael Steele in minstrel makeup has brought to the surface issues of race — and fidelity to one's race — as the Republican seeks to become Maryland's first black senator.

(emphasis mine) So the liberal view of race relations is all about being faithful and loyal to one's own race. Hardly a new concept. Other groups have similar views. The White Supremacist group World Church of the Creator has "a Ceremony of Pledging to Raise the Child Loyal to the White Race" and includes as a basic belief that "racial loyalty is the greatest of all honors and racial treason the worst of all crimes." So, what, the white supremacists are right that loyalty to one's race is important?
