Leaving white nationalism behind: the story of Derek Black
OP - December 02, 2016, 09:20 PM

This is an interesting article about the son of the founder of Stormfront distancing himself from his far right background.

Every day since then, Derek had been working to put distance between himself and his past. He was still living across the country after finishing his master’s degree, and he was starting to learn Arabic to be able to study the history of early Islam.

I wonder if he's ever come across CEMB. I think he might find something in common with ex-muslims.

Which side are you on?

Derek Black - Why I left white nationalism
Quote
I could easily have spent the night of Nov. 8 elated, surrounded by friends and family, thinking: “We did it. We rejected a multicultural and globalist society. We defied the elites, rejected political correctness, and made a statement millions of Americans have wanted to shout for decades.”

I’d be planning with other white nationalists what comes next, and assessing just how much influence our ideology would have on this administration. That’s who I was a few years ago.

Things look very different for me now. I am far away from the community that I grew up in, and that I once hoped could lead our country to a moment like this.

I was born into a prominent white nationalist family — David Duke is my godfather, and my dad started Stormfront, the first major white nationalist website — and I was once considered the bright future of the movement.

well send the guy a link dear zeca ., And he & every one on this earth should know that not only "white nationalism" .,people of the planet must leave white, black, blue red green brown yellow nationalism. In recent times for the past 200 years or so these words like nationalism and patriotism skewed with religious gibberish have become last resort to scoundrels to gain political power., they are outdated concepts

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything
I renounced my faith to become a kafir,
the beloved betrayed me and turned in to a Muslim

You mean globalism and no borders, so that this world becomes more messy.
It will not be a good idea.

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

True, it shouldn't be a story in the first place but what did make me admire him was that his father and godfather are two of the most notorious White supremacists in America (Don Black and David Duke). It was nice to see him walk away from their decades of indoctrination. I think that the media is taking advantage of this because it damages Black and Duke's cause.

What damages Black and Duke's cause is the harm its causing to America.
