Activist Son of Key Racist Leader Renounces White Nationalism
Posted By Mark Potok On July 17, 2013 @ 10:15 am In Extremist Propaganda,White Nationalism | 106 Comments
Derek Black, son of the former Alabama Klan leader who now runs the largest racist Web forum in the world, has renounced white nationalism, saying that he has been through "a gradual awakening process" and apologizing for his past activism.
In an E-mail (pdf) [1] to the editor of this blog earlier this week, Black, 24, wrote that he had come to see the arguments of white nationalism as "principally flawed," adding that he had realized that American society is marked by an "overwhelming disparity between white power and that of everyone else" and that white nationalism was really about "an entrenched desire to preserve white power at the expense of others."
"Advocating for white nationalism means that we are opposed to minority attempts to elevate themselves to a position equal to our own," wrote Black, who recently finished his third year at the elite New College of Florida. "It is an advocacy that I cannot support, having grown past my bubble, talked to the people I affected, read more widely, and realized the necessary impact my actions had on people I never wanted to harm."
It was a remarkable statement for Black, whose father, Don Black [2], once served time in prison for plotting a racist invasion of a small Caribbean nation and founded and still runs Stormfront [3], a white supremacist Web forum. The younger Black was raised in the racist movement, had by age 12 created a racist children's page on his father's website, and until recently hosted a radio show featuring racist guests.
But it was also the latest step in a fairly clear evolution.
Last November, Derek Black posted a statement on a students-only forum at his college in which he explicitly said he was not a white supremacist, a neo-Nazi or a Klansman, and revealing that he had some unexpected views, such as support for same-sex marriage, environmental regulation, and legal abortion. But he also said in the statement, which was made public on this blog [4] in December, that he was not renouncing white nationalism and did not see it as incompatible with his other views.
In his E-mail this week, Black said that he was already moving away from white nationalism at the time, but that "I was not prepared to risk driving any wedge" into his relationship with his family, "whom I respect greatly, particularly my father." But, he added, "After a great deal of thought since then, I have resolved that it is in the best interests of everyone involved, directly or indirectly, to be honest about my slow but steady disaffiliation from white nationalism." He described himself as having spent "the past few years … disentangling myself from white nationalism," and added that he had closed down his radio show permanently this January. He said that he had not posted at all on Stormfront this year, and only once in 2012. He said he did attend a Stormfront conference in 2012, but would not do so again this year.
Black also directly confronted some of the main arguments of white nationalism, such as the idea that whites are being victimized by non-white immigration, mixed-race marriages and affirmative action — what amounts, in the arguments of white nationalists, to "genocide" aimed at destroying the white race. He also ridiculed many white nationalists' "particularly bizarre" hatred of Jews.
"I now consider this belief system principally flawed," he said. "Most arguments that racial equity programs disadvantage whites who would otherwise be hired or accepted to academic programs mask underlying anxieties about the growth of non-white social status. It is impossible to argue rationally that in our society, with its overwhelming disparity between white power and that of everyone else, racial equity programs intended to affect the deep-rooted situation represent oppression of whites." Indeed, Black added, "The advancement of minorities in the US is not insignificant, but has not ended (let alone reversed) their circumstances."
Black was explicitly apologetic. "I acknowledge that things I have said as well as my actions have been harmful to people of color, people of Jewish descent, activists striving for opportunity and fairness for all, and others affected."
"I can't support a movement that tells me I can't be a friend to whomever I wish or that other people's races requires me to think about them in a certain way or be suspicious of their advancements," Black wrote toward the end of his four-page statement. "Minorities must have the ability to rise to positions of power, and many supposed 'race' issues are in fact issues of structural oppression, poor educational prospects, and limited opportunity. The differences I thought I observed didn't go nearly as deeply as I imagined. I believe we can move beyond the sort of mind-boggling emphasis white nationalism puts on maintaining an oppressive, exclusive sense of identity — oppressive for others and stifling for our society."

Good for him. White Nationalism and Racism make no sense.
#2 Comment By John Grolsch On July 17, 2013 @ 10:49 am
Nice work, SPLC. I especially appreciate Derek's heart-felt apology and his well-reasoned, articulate deconstruction of the twisted logic of so-called "white nationalism."
Though Don and Chloe Black deserve nothing but scorn for indoctrinating their young son into their little family business, all it evidently took was for Derek to meet the people he was supposed to hate for him to reject the sick, sad little world he grew up in.
Welcome back to humanity, young man.

I wonder how the folks over at Stormfront will take (are taking) this. The fact that Don's own kid jumped ship should make some of its members take notice.
#7 Comment By Ruslan Amirkhanov On July 17, 2013 @ 12:32 pm
Congratulations to Derek for taking this step.
As I and others have pointed out on here, the reason why white nationalism is treated differently than black nationalism(which is in fact a small minority point of view which was ruthlessly harassed and stamped out by the government) is because "white" is a social construct bound up with oppression. White is not Irish, English, German, Polish, or whatever. It is the negation of those cultures and identities designed specifically to bind masses of people to their own exploiters and set them at odds with "non-whites" who are in fact their real brothers and sisters by class.

Don, if you're reading this, it's never too late.
#9 Comment By Alex On July 17, 2013 @ 3:29 pm
Good for him. I'm sure this journey must have been difficult for him. But he is no doubt stronger for it. Personal transformation of this magnitude is rare. He should be proud.

If it's not sincere, then he is smart enough to make it sound convincing. But I think it is sincere. Welcome, Derek, to a much wider world of potential friends and allies.

Such a noble thing to renounce his backwards belief in racism.

The kid is at a little known but elite university in Florida. I guess that post-secondary home schooling doesn't fly. Some conservatives keep their children out of college by design.

This man is demonstrating more intelligence and courage at his young age than most people do in a lifetime.

I will second Ruslan on this. It is never too late and I would use the late Senator Robert Byrd as a stellar example.
#16 Comment By Christopher On July 17, 2013 @ 4:59 pm
Good for him! This gives me hope in our younger generation. Young people are waking up everywhere!
#17 Comment By Yodz On July 17, 2013 @ 5:23 pm
This is great news. I am not surprised that, based upon his well-stated and thoughtful comments, he is a person who does not accept that which he has been spoon-fed his whole life. IMHO, there are very few true intellectuals (but some, of course) involved in that movement. It seems that the few that are truly gifted with intelligence don't stick around too long…thank God.
Of course there's going to be a bit of skepticism for a while, but if he's as sincere as he sounds, perhaps the SPLC could/should give him a platform to speak/write about the change. Guest blogger? Featured article? He may be able to provide some insight from the vantage point of someone raised from the get-go to hate. Other than the kids from "Prussian Blue," it's not too often that we're presented with the opportunity to get such insight.
Come on, Don. It's your turn. We all learn from our children and, particularly on the issue of race/racism, you've been given the perfect opportunity to learn a lot from your son.
As much as it pains me to say, and as much as I disagree with what Don does and what he stands for, I have to give him proper credit for helping raise a child that not only can think for himself, but one who also has the courage to do so.

Derek actually graduated from New College this past May.
#19 Comment By Mitchell On July 17, 2013 @ 5:46 pm
New College is a remarkable place, and I'm glad to see his time there wasn't wasted.
#20 Comment By Kim Eldridge On July 17, 2013 @ 6:24 pm
Wow. He went to college, met people who looked different than he does and learned we are all basically the same. Good for him!
#21 Comment By Jennifer Brower On July 17, 2013 @ 6:45 pm
Hooray! Welcome to the real world, Derek! SO PROUD OF YOU!
It is very hard for children of racists to leave the Movement when they are still relying on their parents for basic survival needs. You also need to keep in mind that these kids usually grow up in abusive homes and are conditioned to be afraid of the world outside of the Movement. Also, consider the mindset of the racist – especially the big name ones. Most are narcissists or sociopaths. Imagine growing up that way. Derek has come so far in conquering these demons. HaShem bless.
If only we could have gotten Joseph Hall :(
#22 Comment By Starry On July 17, 2013 @ 7:06 pm
Really happy for him. That wasn't an easy journey or step to take. I hope other young white nationalists who got sucked into that ideology will be influenced to renounce race hatred too.
#23 Comment By Brian On July 17, 2013 @ 7:15 pm
Derek, welcome to the light. I greet you with open arms, a friend and brother in humankind.
#24 Comment By StraightGrandmother On July 17, 2013 @ 7:39 pm
See, there is hope for everyone.
Sounds to me like the young man has taken some Sociology courses.
#25 Comment By concernedcitizen On July 17, 2013 @ 7:58 pm
Yes as long as his commitment is true. He is correct that the arguments are flawed and it's really ridiculous watching racists in action.
Why in the world do we tolerate such ignorance to begin with?
Well good move and I hope others follow him in renouncing the stupid dogma they have been infected with.
#26 Comment By Steve L. On July 17, 2013 @ 9:39 pm
Oh my goodness…..this is simply awesome news.
It must have been quite the change for him…..being the son of a Klan leader and all. But changed, he has, and I hope that he continues to better himself, and others, thru this new journey he has undertaken.
Truly, this is an occasion to be happy, and thankful; the world is indeed moving on. =)
(P.S. Ruslan and Greg, indeed, it's never too late to renounce racism and other forms of prejudice, and to turn over a new leaf.)
#27 Comment By Bob Burnham On July 17, 2013 @ 10:00 pm
It's stories like this that give me hope. God bless the SPLC and people of goodwill!
#28 Comment By Dave Sanchez On July 17, 2013 @ 10:04 pm
There are ways to be a nationalist, and a preserver of culture and tradition, without being an angry white nationalist.
These are worth pursuing.
The anger and other emotional reactions are not.
#29 Comment By Todd Blodgett On July 17, 2013 @ 11:08 pm
This is extremely encouraging. I met Derek Black, on several occasions, while I worked for the FBI, and while with Willis Carto and William Pierce. This was between 1997 and about 2003. He was in the process of being thoroughly indoctrinated into the realm of racist hatred. I always thought that it was particularly tragic to see such an exceptionally bright kid being brainwashed, and I'm very glad that Derek has rejected such harmful ideology and ways. Congrats, Derek!
#30 Comment By Karen Rebb On July 17, 2013 @ 11:30 pm
This apology is very good news and beautifully stated by Derek. His conversion may serve as a witness to other racists to turn their life around. Seeking forgiveness out of love is a powerful antidote to hate.
I wish Derek the very best in his continual journey of awakening.
#31 Comment By Jamie On July 18, 2013 @ 2:35 am
I'm a member of Stormfront. Now, before you get your collective panties in a twist, hear me out. I go to the same college as Derek (hard to swallow though that may be), and I know him personally, though not on a more intimate basis than acquaintances-nearing-friends. He was never aware of my white nationalist affiliation, though I knew of his. Simply put, this letter doesn't sound like him, and it could very well be a prank pulled by one of the students here at school. There were multiple student forum threads about Derek at odd points, all of them nasty and filled with vicious hyperbole, and his mere presence at the school was enough to make the more, shall I say, rabid novocollegians's blood boil. I wouldn't put it past one of them to write this email, along with the pseudo-intellectual straw-man takedown of white nationalism.
But i could be wrong, in which case I can't honestly blame Derek too much. He comes from a reviled family, and he may want to put some distance between himself and Don, so he won't always be known as the son of a Klan member. White nationalism itself has its flaws, starting with a very fluid definition of itself; it means drastically different things to different people, many of whom are not savory individuals. Whatever the case I wish good luck to Derek, he's an intelligent guy and a kind person, and deserves the best in life.

Now if we can get the children of black nationalists to do the ame.
#34 Comment By Older_Wiser On July 18, 2013 @ 6:19 am
Don't forget that both parents are racist, and his mother grew up relatively privileged in WPB through his mother (her father owned a car dealership), and she has friends in high places (the Fanjul sugar barons for whom she works). How did he get into an elite school anyway with his views? Connections?
Let's see where he is in a few years before we "celebrate" this "conversion". I do hope it takes, however.
Only time will tell.
#35 Comment By Gwendoline Y. Fortune On July 18, 2013 @ 7:32 am
How great to see this. if only there were more who would follow his route–to LEARN to think, to reflect. It can be done, but the task demands willingness, and wishing won't make it so. Glad to see even one awakening in my eight decades of living in a frightening world, while working to be knowledgeable and pass it own. Thanks to young Black. How interesting, is name.
#36 Comment By Jeffry House On July 18, 2013 @ 7:35 am
Throwing off the fetters of a dogmatic racist upbringing, this young man has the world before him. He is to be congratulated.
#37 Comment By SinghX On July 18, 2013 @ 9:19 am
A college eju'ma'kation taught him a few things? Gee, what a dull surprised. This is the same thing that happened to that young woman (granddaughter) of the leader of the Westboro cult…she was sent to college at U of K. As some of you may recall, she left after "debating" a gay man on -line. Colleges teach "critical thinking"– the kiss of death to cult leaders!
These arrogant hypocritical cult leaders are all alike when it comes to their little darlings being educated by "elitist". These leaders always seem to have gobs of $$ to send their little darlings off to the "best of the best" expecting them to return "groomed" and ready to use their education to promote (daddy and mommy) "world view"…
Our system of "open-to-the-public education" (federal or private) has always been THE answer to defeating multi-generational cult indoctrination. Cults (political/religious) have always been hell bent on destroying any and all education systems that are not under their control. They job is all about keeping followers isolated, superstitious, busy following orders and catering to their demanding whims; this has been going on since the 60′s.
Side-bar: Warren Jeff's would have never allowed HIS cult families to do what they are currently doing if he were still around; the FLDS are now taking their kids back to town and enrolling them in public schools again. FLDS followers were "ordered" to remove their kids fro PS about 10 years ago…it was part of Jeff's plan to "bleed the beast" of federal funding for local public schools located in his "territory"; the idea was to force PS to close for lack of funding based upon enrollment.
Another example of this kind hypocrisy is found int that cult "minster" who runs the "Quiverfull Movement"…his daughters would never be caught dead wearing "modest clothes/no make up" or "breeding" as order for his followers. Those women look like the "Fox and Friend" bimbos; they travel/ live in mansions all over the world instead slumming with the rest of cult "women folk" in some god-forsaken isolated cult pockets in US. Hypocrites!
#38 Comment By Linnea On July 18, 2013 @ 9:39 am
Good for him. As others here have observed, time will tell whether his "awakening" lasts. Actions speak louder than words. But his letter does sound sincere, and the fact that he chose to write to SPLC (the long-time enemy of any racist!) says something.
#39 Comment By Sam On July 18, 2013 @ 10:57 am
I went to New College with Black and was always creeped out by him.
He needs to do a lot more to make up for his past, but this is a positive start.
Until white men are happy for white women in healthy sexual relationships with black, Jewish or Latino men, they will still be supporting a system that dehumanizes and limits us all.
#40 Comment By Peggy Gooday On July 18, 2013 @ 2:12 pm
As a Native American woman, (Chiricahua Apache), it always interested me to see fat, balding, pink-faced men blathering on about "their" territory. How ironic.
I congratulate Mr. Black on his ability to think freely and the courage to speak out. May he find some peace in his newfound intellectual land.
#41 Comment By Jayne On July 18, 2013 @ 3:16 pm
I just want to say how thankful I am to read this heart felt article. I am so proud of this young man. I hope more people white, black and of all races creeds and colors to stop the hate and realize that we are all one!. Thanks again to the SPLC. Brooklyn, NY
#42 Comment By Constance Lee On July 18, 2013 @ 3:20 pm
It's so good to see a comment from another Native American woman. I am Crow and Oglala Lakota and totally agree with Peggy Gooday.
God bless you Derek! Welcome to the light; you will be happier. A young man with your intelligence and guts make this a better world. May your tribe increase.

@Peggy Gooday
You (and most here I presume) have greatly misunderstood the concept of white nationalism, it's not about territories nor country but about our people, the white race and the possibility for future generations of white children to exist.
It's our right to exist just like any other people of this planet.
#45 Comment By JaeB On July 18, 2013 @ 4:07 pm
This young man is truly a deep and independent thinker. It is one of the most difficult transitions in adulthood – to oppose the teachings of the family that raised you. I applaud you and if you ever need to point to the support of an African American person, count me in. I expect you will have regrets and backslide on this, because it's new territory, but your heart is in the right place. I am awestruck, by the way, at the literary quality of your statement — besides being societally positive, it's damn good writing! He is going places.
#46 Comment By Jim On July 18, 2013 @ 4:16 pm
Given his history, I do not see how anyone can view him as having any credibility. I do not trust him, and I do not believe a word he says. As far as I'm concerned, his recent statement changes nothing – He is still as bad as his father and all those like them.
#47 Comment By john On July 18, 2013 @ 4:36 pm

People can and do change, I accept Blacks as true until he shows different. The true test will be his actions. I am a former racist and I apologize for what I said and did in the past. But I also took action in speaking out. I hope Derek will do the same

#53 Comment By mode On July 18, 2013 @ 6:38 pm
I can't help but feel very impressed at the level of introspective depth someone needs to have, to go from once being virulently white nationalist and raised as such, to then developing empathy for non-whites and their struggle for equality. That requires incredible amounts of self-criticism and brutal honesty, that I don't think most people have normally. We're usually pretty self-absorbed and unwilling to accept much change, at least I am. I can't help but feel that if I was that white kid, and raised by them, that I wouldn't have wanted to put forth the intense effort required to question myself and all that I've been indoctrinated and brainwashed with, due to my own mental laziness. Unwilling to pin myself down outside my comfort zone and put my thoughts, beliefs and attitudes under painful scrutiny.
#54 Comment By malcolm On July 18, 2013 @ 8:18 pm
Black Nationalism does not teach Black people to hate anyone. It teaches us to love ourselves and to see all Black people as members of a global community. Loving my people does not mean I hate anyone else's.
#55 Comment By swandiver On July 18, 2013 @ 11:37 pm
This is great. Now I hope that he parlays this into activism among WHITE people and not just a traveling dog and pony show to teach us people of color how much he's changed.
I firmly believe that white people need to learn how not to be racist from white people.

"You (and most here I presume) have greatly misunderstood the concept of white nationalism, it's not about territories nor country but about our people, the white race and the possibility for future generations of white children to exist.
It's our right to exist just like any other people of this planet."
"Whites" are not your people. If you are Swedish, you are Swedish, period. People whose phenotype matches what we call "white" exist all over the earth and are not going to disappear. If "white" phenotypes could evolve from non-white humans, there is no reason to believe that this collection of physical traits will disappear. "White" is not a country, not a culture, not a heritage. It's a contrived identity created to enforce a certain exploitative relationship(in the American colonies) and it's definition changed radically over time. People still quibble over it today on WN sites.
#57 Comment By Ruslan Amirkhanov On July 19, 2013 @ 3:08 am
"White nationalism itself has its flaws, starting with a very fluid definition of itself; it means drastically different things to different people, many of whom are not savory individuals. Whatever the case I wish good luck to Derek, he's an intelligent guy and a kind person, and deserves the best in life."
Why do you think WN has so many unsavory people within it? I mean, if you point out all the unsavory white people to WNs they'll typically give you some explanation that involves the Jews and MTV(because lots of people still watch MTV, am I right or what?) corrupting white youth, bla bla bla. This would imply that the WN movement, being against this, should contain the cream of the crop of white people. And yet…It doesn't. It contains the worst of the worst. Con men, pedophiles, rapists, convicted felons, schizophrenic conspiracy theorists, religious nuts, and just plain stupid, ignorant people make up maybe 98% of the movement. Don't even try to deny this; you have an account on Stormfront. I know you see this.
It seems to me that you're probably young and somewhat new to the movement, and you've probably heard a few of the "intellectual" types explain to you about how they're trying to build something more high-brow, trying to break with all the skinheads and militia nuts, or something along those lines. I know a young man who was told those same things years ago. He joined a self-proclaimed "elite" or "exclusive" organization but instead of finding these high-brow intellectuals he was immediately surrounded by skins, ex-cons, and of course, old creepy conspiracy nuts. But he believed what others had told him on the internet, and he suppressed his doubts by repeating the mantra that this was the "old" movement, on its way out. He thought he could change things from the inside.
Over the years he saw that things did not change. Never before in his life was he exposed and compelled to interact with so many people who were ex-cons, thugs, paranoid nuts, con men, or worse. He was supposed to give these people the benefit of the doubt and not question them because they were white, and they were "for the race."
His story goes on but there was one point where he started to notice that the movement leaders didn't really want critical thinking types like him, the kind they said they needed when he considered joining. In fact it seemed they wanted the opposite- the idiots, ignorant, the paranoid. Those people are more reliable and easier to dupe.
That young man left the movement and it was the best thing for him. I can only hope Derek will experience the same feeling of relief which was described to me.
#58 Comment By steve On July 19, 2013 @ 9:24 am
At the risk of sounding overly cynical I'll say this: Years of indoctrination & psycho-linguistic programming as a child are NOT easily wiped away. Perhaps this young man is ingratiating himself to the progressive movement for reasons other than stated. A mole maybe? A conduit for funneling classified information to his ultra right wing brothers? A leopard does not change his spots.

i hope he also plans on apologizing to all the students he made feel alienated and marginalized during his time at ncf.
renunciation is nice, but it doesn't really change the way he made those people feel.
#61 Comment By Constance Lee On July 19, 2013 @ 12:46 pm
To the doubters of Derek's authenticity/sincerity: Maybe I'm naïve, but what he says rings true to me. Derek I hope you read these comments–don't let those of us who believe in you down.
@Ruslan's comments on July 19, WOW! Your first posting re phenotype, yes. In my University days, after a bioloby/genetics class I say, "It's all in the phenotype!", in regard to racism. Swede, read it and learn. Ruslan has provided you with an excellent tutorial.
Ruslan, your second posting had me entranced. I believe in redemption for anyone at any age. For the young you and Derek are examples. Good for you and keep up the good fight.

I don't see any sincerity at all , just a convenient change of heart that is nothing more then temporary until he finishes college.
And he says he still greatly respects his dad, and you call that a victory?
Now I think his new jewish friends could have done a better job of indoctrinating him to also slam his father.
#66 Comment By ALBERT On July 19, 2013 @ 4:22 pm
No Aron, I think it is you that needs to wake up and smell the coffee, Derek quite a little actor sounded equally sincere in conning posters at stormfront, he sounded VERY SINCERE to me, and such a sudden change? Little hard for any person to swallow, actually.
You have to examine his motives.

#68 Comment By Kiwiwriter On July 19, 2013 @ 7:37 pm
Well, Albert, either you're a frustrated white nationalist and cynic, or just a cynic, but I read Derek's essay, too, and one thing I'm good at is analyzing writing…and I think what he wrote was fairly sincere.
Yes, it looks to me like Derek got some help in writing it, which is not a bad thing — all writing can benefit from editing — but I found it a moving description of a slow but steady rise from racism and ignorance and stepping up to a level of empathy and understanding of humanity and human beings.
What Derek did took immense personal courage, and I can understand him still "respecting" his father. Don Black may be a vicious hate-spewing racist to 99 percent of the world, but to Derek, he's still "Dad," and you are kind of required to "love" your family, even if you don't necessary "like" them. A family is a club you are required to join without anybody asking if you wanted to or not. For him to feel otherwise would be less than human.
Derek's rise from junior fascism doesn't surprise me. He has been up close and personal with the harsh realities of the WN movement, such as it is, and as Ruslan Amirkhanov regularly and eloquently describes, filled with human waste — hardened criminals, con men, lunatics, fanatics, uneducated men, and overheated teenagers.
At the same time, it still took courage and depth of character — living in that WN environment, a youth might have few alternate role models and examples at hand as baselines to help him break from the self-contained hothouse. But on the other hand, youth often rebels against parents, if only to establish their own identity.
We have also seen other children of neo-Nazis break with their families — The "Prussian Blue" girls and Erik Von Brunn's son are the most recent examples. Intelligence Report had a cracking good article about children of neo-Nazis who broke with their parents recently. It is probably a trend, as these kids see just how outdated, irrelevant, mindless, and silly this rhetoric is in today's world. Prattle about "Khazars" and the Bilderbergers and "Generation Identitaire" is absurd to them.
I hope that Derek, now that he has made his break with his old world, takes advantage of this opportunity. He should certainly write about his trail to his epiphany, and I hope he devotes his energy, if not his career, to community and public service. A young man with high ideals, great energy, and considerable empathy for his fellow human being can make a major positive contribution to this world.
When his final words are written, it will be interesting to see how they will compare with those of his father's life. Of Don Black, all they will be able to say is: "He hated." Of Derek Black, they will be able to start by saying, "He learned, grew, and rose."
#69 Comment By Ruslan Amirkhanov On July 19, 2013 @ 11:12 pm
Obviously I too hope that Derek's words are sincere, for his sake. However, there is little to gain from pretending to renounce WN just to get by in college or something like that. First, he achieved a high position in the movement; even before you do something like that, you've got enemies. If some people don't like your line on something- presto! You're a "Jew." Everybody is looking for a way to tear you down to take your place. Now if you publicly renounce your beliefs to the SPLC, well you're not coming back from that. Sure you might be able to dupe a small amount of people but all your enemies have a nuclear weapon to use against you.

I am glad that you are abandoning racism. Being white is not equal to being racist. Love your family, they are still your family even if you have different views. I wish you the best and professional and personal success.
Enjoy life now free of the weight of discrimination and supremacy.
#71 Comment By Reynardine On July 20, 2013 @ 8:51 am
Steve, Albert, I don't want to question your bona fides, but if I were a buttburnt WN, I might be poisoning the well for a "traitor" just like this.
Ruslan, your friend showed great wisdom, and I hope Derek might proceed in his footsteps.
#72 Comment By Jason On July 20, 2013 @ 2:57 pm
Let us hope that Derek Black will help authorities on identifying the people at Stormfront that hide behind screen names. These racist are a cancer that must be eradicated.
Don Black and David Duke have a tremendous amount of money given to them on their website. Some may have been from criminals that continue to terrorize America with the hatred. Derek could really help America by assisting groups like the SPLC on the bizarre inner working from his fathers website.
#73 Comment By tim zaal former racist On July 21, 2013 @ 6:40 am
This is good news! I applaud the courage of young Mr. Black. We are being shown that there is hope for the future, and that his generation (the future of our country) can think for themselves and have the intellect to make informed decisions dispite years of indoctrination.
for those with less enthusiastic, pessimistic views on this announcement, everyone has a right to an opinion, but this is a young man on a journey. It often takes several years to reassimilate into the real world. Blaming others for one's own actions and "slamming" others is counter productive and may hinder young Mr. Black's journy. Who knows? Dad
May Follow in his son's footsteps one day.

Is it bad form for me to be skeptical here?
I get the feeling he's merely smart enough to jump a sinking ship.

Albert, I understand your sentiments, but I believe you are old enough to shave…with Occam's Razor.
#79 Comment By Ruslan Amirkhanov On July 22, 2013 @ 3:06 pm
Just playing Devil's advocate but if Derek were trying some kind of ruse, this would be the stupidest move ever. He has been marked down as a traitor forever by a lot of people already. This is a boon not only to anyone who ever had a quarrel with Derek, but also with Don Black. Should he try to "come back" one day and announce it was all part of some secret mission or whatever, he would never win back the movement's trust.
#80 Comment By Margaret On July 24, 2013 @ 1:12 pm

Redemption is the sweetest story.
#82 Comment By Katherine On July 25, 2013 @ 11:08 pm
I just went back to Stormfront after a decade out of the movement as I do occasionally just to show myself why I left. I found this story and clicked on this link. I became a racist because I was the victim of a hate crime, I was not raised that way. It took me years to deal with this, and while I'll never be a liberal, I now reject the same things Derek does. There are things you learn in the movement that can't be unlearned, so we "formers" are a special breed, and we think very differently about race, and I believe, much more deeply and thoughtfully than most people, of any heritage.
I just hope Derek is reading this, and that he does not feel pressure to become a flaming liberal, as he was pressured to be a WN. It sounds like he's able to filter the bull***t out and think for himself. I credit his parents for that, one thing they did right. I am so very proud of him and he has my support 100%. Also, I hope he is not moved by people in the movement calling him a race traitor. Nothing in comments degrade our European people, and I pray he can find the balance between love of your own people and also love for others. Please don't turn into a self-loathing liberal who adheres to positions pre-determined for you, as you did s a WN.. Have self respect and dignity. You have earned it!
#83 Comment By Reynardine On July 26, 2013 @ 11:33 am
Katherine, I am a liberal, and I like myself quite well. Ultimately, it is the haters who are self-haters.
#84 Comment By Natasha On July 27, 2013 @ 4:53 am
How wonderful that someone so brainwashed with hate and fear all through his formative years can start thinking for himself and being brave enough to make the turnaround, first mentally, then actually and openly. Respect for this young man's courage. It's not realistic to hope the rest of his family will follow, but for his, and their own sake, I do. Sure their racism hurts people, but most of all it hurts themselves. It's awful to have to live in fear of others all the time, and to have hate coursing through your system is unhealthy and makes one simply unhappy….
#85 Comment By David Fishman On July 29, 2013 @ 3:11 pm
As an agnostic Jew who was surrounded by anti-Semitism from many of my male peers throughout my formative education & my freshman college year at UConn, I deeply appreciate Derek's moral courage in expressing his epiphany away from the bigotry in which his parents shamefully raised him. His parents' ugly brand of bigotry was one of the key reasons I ignorantly supported the death penalty in high school, but have since been similarly enlightened against that position. His astute intellectual honesty renews my hope in the human spirit that people are not always mentally imprisoned for life without parole, pardon the pun, in the cultish paradigm that demands they view their own ethnicity as superior to all others. His parents may be tempted to disown him, but if I was in his position with a father who distorts the quality and integrity of his education, I would struggle not to want to disown my parents entirely. Thank Gaia he found the wisdom in his soul to evolve beyond this hideous bigotry. He should be a role model for all the Republican white supremacists infecting our House & Senate at the federal level, who wear their vitriolic hatred of President Obama like a badge of honor on their sleeves.

I urge those out there who have teaching jobs, to look for the wonderful children's book WHITE FLOWER. It tells the story of a town in the South that wanted to hold a white power meeting. And the group of clever, creative..wonderfully loving performers, and punster screwballs who broke it all up. And how they did it. Using goofy humor, clown faces, circus tricks, they showed just HOW foolish and..of course, how destructive racial hatred could be. Run, don't walk to get this. We read it to all our young students. It never fails to spark really lively discussion. And opening doors n young minds about racism. Hats off to anyone who has a change of heart and understands how we must value and respect one another. Always. in all WAYS.
#89 Comment By Cindy Hawkins-Legorreta On August 7, 2013 @ 3:13 pm
My apologies. The correct title of the book I spoke about is WHITE FLOUR, by David La Motte. It's a classic. Buy two copies (no I don't work for the publisher)..but if you ever lend yours out, trust me..you'll never get it back! Peace on ya!
#90 Comment By Priscilla Jenkins On August 7, 2013 @ 3:47 pm
Wonderful story, Derek. The human race will be immensely enriched when we learn to embrace our glorious and not so glorious differences. When we realize that all most of us want is a chance to love (pinnacle of the human experience), have a family and raise children all of whom we want to experience the wonders of life and to grow to be the best we can be without hurting others. Would that this were easy!
You are remarkable, Derek. Thank you for your writings.
#91 Comment By Michael Tyler On August 7, 2013 @ 7:22 pm
Derek Black — a decent, intelligent, humane man looking honestly at facts; thinking for himself; and moving publicly against bigotry and hate-mongering. It gives grounds for hope for America's future, that people like Derek are moving forward and leaving the dinosaurs behind.
#92 Comment By aadila On August 8, 2013 @ 9:13 am
"If we examine how anger or hateful thoughts arise in us, we will find that, generally speaking, they arise when we feel hurt, when we feel that we have been unfairly treated by someone against our expectations. If in that instant we examine carefully the way anger arises, there is a sense that it comes as a protector, comes as a friend that would help our battle or in taking revenge against the person who has inflicted harm on us. So the anger or hateful thought that arises appears to come as a shield or a protector. But in reality that is an illusion. It is a very delusory state of mind."
Dalai Lama
#93 Comment By Charlene McGrady On August 8, 2013 @ 10:25 am
"You've Got to Be Taught" from the musical South Pacific says that children are taught to hate those who are different. Thank goodness that what can be taught can be unlearned and that enlightened people can evolve to reject bigotry by getting to know others on a personal level. This is what segregationists feared — that familiarity and connection would breed not contempt, but acceptance. It's hard to hate someone you know, but all too easy to hate big faceless groups of "others."
#94 Comment By Joan Quinn On August 8, 2013 @ 2:45 pm
God bless Derek for his courage! In light of his family history, it is incredible that he has been able and willing to learn and grow. We are one – no matter the color of our skin!
#95 Comment By Caroline On August 8, 2013 @ 4:15 pm
I love stories like this, the enlightenment of one is an enlightenment for all. All of us can relate to some parts of his evolution as we've all had to struggle with wrongheaded opinions either implanted by our parents, society or our religions. Learning to unravel why one believes what they believe without logical reasons is a practice that can be used for the rest of one's life. I was told that as I grew older I would be more conservative but instead because I had to unravel early beliefs I use it to question all of my opinions and only recently was able to be totally convinced that equality for gays in all ways was a good thing and that the death penalty is a travesty. Those were big enlightenments for me so I can relate and congratulate the young Derek Black for his bravery and intelligence to see the light.
#96 Comment By Morris Dees is my hero On August 9, 2013 @ 5:01 am
I am skeptical about this. It just doesn't seem true. If Derek Black cut ties with those crazies, would his father not disown him? Would there not be a bounty on his head. I'm sorry, I do not believe this guy. AT.ALL.
#97 Comment By john On August 9, 2013 @ 9:05 am
Great job Derek glad to see you come really alive especially with a name like Black .Division is one of the greatest weapons of warfare instead of inward racist fighting there is an enemy that hates all Jew ,white or people of color just because we are americans so we might want to come together for the survival of all because this enemy could not care less about the color of ones skin
#98 Comment By Alan Meyer On August 9, 2013 @ 4:01 pm
To Derek:
I don't know if you've read this far in this long list of comments but, in case you have, I would like to express my thanks for what you have done. I know that it is very hard to go against your family, your upbringing, and your old friends, but I believe that you have done the right thing. There are fine human beings of every race, nationality and religion and it is a great wrong to condemn people because of the color of their skin or the religion of their ancestors.
To Jamie:
I hope you have read what Ruslan Amirkhanov wrote to you.
I'd like to add to that. The great majority of blacks, Jews, Muslims, Latinos, Indians, Chinese, Catholics, and everyone else in addition to white Protestants are decent people who mean you no harm. If you exclude these people from your fellow feelings, you are excluding the majority of the people of the world and limiting yourself and your world. And for what? What is the benefit to you or to your friends of being hostile to so many good people whom you don't even know? How can this hostility help anyone?
I urge you to consider whether racism is right. I think it's not. I think it does you harm as well as doing injustice to others.
Please think about it.
#99 Comment By Avi Marranazo On August 10, 2013 @ 1:56 am
I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why it's legitimate for all the world's peoples to have and live in homelands where they can live among their own kind and maintain their own cultures, except for White people. If you take a position advocating this in America, Australia, New Zealand or even Europe, you're immediately branded a "racist".
Please explain.

And thank you for sharing your enlightenment.
#102 Comment By Aron On August 12, 2013 @ 9:41 am
Here's the problem with your theory: there's no such culture as 'white people!' Advocating for white nationalism is inherently racist. There's no such thing as 'European.' There's no such thing as 'African.' There's no such thing as 'Asian.' There's no such thing as Australian. Nor are there 'North American' and 'South American.'
Hell, there probably isn't even such thing as 'Antarctican,' though there hasn't been enough penguin anthropological studies to be certain that there are different cultures.
Do you catch my drift? Race is an invention. Culture is not.
#103 Comment By Kiwiwriter On August 12, 2013 @ 3:40 pm
Well, Awi, I have a simple answer to your whining about "white culture," so listen closely and pay attention…like a "superior white person."
"White culture."
What is it? Can you define it? Can you show it to me? Some examples? I've heard of English culture, German culture, French, culture, Spanish culture, Danish culture, Dutch culture, Norwegian culture, and even Swiss culture.
What is "white culture?" Is it a form of cooking? White bread and mayonaisse, perhaps? Is it a form of art? Music? Writing? Show me a "white" artist, composer, or writer.
"White culture," as defined by its practitioners, seems to be heavily tattooed guys with lengthy criminal records, dysfunctional families, shaved heads, low education, and thick necks gathering together on farms in the Pacific Northwest or occasional demonstrations, wearing bits and pieces of Nazi uniforms, shouting "Sieg Heil" for the TV cameras, drinking American domestic beer while giving obscene gestures to the private cameras, or stomping each other into insensibility in a "mosh pit," a drunken rage, or a spat over who actually owned the CD.
Can you show me a history of "White culture?" University-accredited classes on the subject? A pantheon of leading lights of "white culture?"
Where can we find this "White Culture?" On the Stormfront website, with people hurling vitriolic insults and paranoia at each other? At a Nazi rally, where the leader demands death to all white people who don't share his neck size? At the right tables in a federal prison cafeteria, where the all-white meth dealers gather to control the drug and prostitution trade in the cell blocks?
Please define "white culture" for us. Fill this web page with examples of "white culture."
I'll be waiting.

Well, this "conversion" will give more impetus for those advocating racism to keep their children in a veil of ignorance by keeping them out of the "liberal" unversities where they may risk enlightenment. Yes, these universities that "corrupt" "pure" white children by exposing them to the leftist ideology that there is justice in equality. White supremacist will argue to keep their kids out of universities.

Hey Golf: Get out of the stone age!
I like the commercials for Top-Flite Balls where the guy checks to see if the golfer is worthy of the product: "Winter rules?" "Cheating". "Gimmies?" "Make the putt". "Mulligans?" a withering stare.
However, there are a slew of ridiculous rules that are selectively enforced that make no sense, give the "perpetrator" no competitive advantage and need to go. Two great examples occurred this past week.
The first is the insane DQ-ing of Michelle Wie for "failing to sign her scorecard". She actually did sign it, but she left the scorer's trailer without signing, was called back by volunteers and signed. After playing her next round, she was informed by the LPGA that she was out of the tourney. Now I know the LPGA hates Wie, but this is ridiculous. What is the injury to other competitors that happened here? And even if such an injury could be conjured up, why DQ? Why not 2 strokes? Or an hour in the stocks? Or the comfy chair?
The second example is from the British Open. In 35 mph winds on slick greens, golf balls will move without being hit. Yet if you ground your putter behind the ball and it moves before you hit it, you incur a penalty. Even worse, according to the rules official. If you address the ball and then back away without re-marking the ball and the ball moves, it's a penalty. So we treated to the sight of golfers altering their putting styles, trying not to ground their putters behind the ball, twitching and jitterbugging around worried about breaking this rule. Why?
It's beyond time to modernize and streamline the rules of golf.

Buffalo Mozzarella with Balsamic Glazed Plums, Pine Nuts and Mint
Author Notes: Balsamic vinegar is good friends with buffalo mozzarella. The tanginess of the vinegar is a nice complement to the subtlety of the cheese. Because this recipe is a little bit sweet and a little bit savory it can be served as a appetizer or dessert. Make sure the plums are ripe but firm enough to hold their shape when heated. You can substitute peaches or fresh figs if you don't like the tartness of plums. But I find that it lends a crisp balance to the dish. I have also been known to pile it on top of crostini and serve as a bruschetta. Yum! - Brita - Brita
Food52 Review: Brita has a way with flavors -- she understands that the sweet-tartness of plums will cut the cloyingness of balsamic and that both together are just what a rich ball of buffalo mozzarella needs. This is mostly an assembly dish -- is there any better kind of dish for summer cooking? -- once the balsamic is reduced and the plums glazed, all you do is layer the mozzarella with the fruit, syrup, pine nuts and a few flickers of mint. Want to start your next dinner party off with a bang? Now you know how. - A&M - A&M
Serves 4 to 6
- 1 large ball buffalo mozzarella, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 4 ripe plums, pitted and quartered
- 1 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 1 splash olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Put vinegar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Adjust heat to low and simmer until it is reduced nearly three-quarters in volume and thickened to a syrup. About 15 minutes.
- Add plums to syrup turning gently to coat and continue to cook for another 4-7 minutes more. Turn off heat and let cool.
- Meanwhile assemble mozzarella slices on platter, allowing to overlap slightly and season with salt and pepper to taste. WIth a fork, remove plums from syrup and place atop cheese, then top with the remaining syrup, pine nuts and mint. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

This is one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. Used regular fresh Mozzarella, and spearmint from my garden. I'm going to play with this even after plums are gone.

I made this today for our semi-annual picnic. It was delicious and so easy to assemble. Because the plums I used were quite ripe, I skipped the cooking of the plums in the balsamic syrup, but let them sit in the syrup as it cooled.

I can't wait to try this at my next get together I think it will be a winner! Pignoli nuts, I love to toast them a bit in a pan to bring out their flavor just a bit. Congratulations Brita, this is a great site to be a finalist at!

I agree with you about the pairing of mozzarella and a good quality balsamic. Plums would be a lovely complement, and the mint and pine nuts are a brilliant twist. Nice recipe!

Nursing homes & home health services face budget cuts
Mar 03, 2008 — The Spitzer administration is proposing a major boost to state funding for doctors in under-served areas. That could help the North Country attract more physicians. But critics say the Governor's spending plan also strips millions of dollars from nursing homes and home healthcare programs that are already struggling. As Brian Mann reports, local leaders say the budget could mean some facilities closing their doors.

Not what I was hoping

These are all natural energizer pills to help give extra energy during a day. Unfortunately, it really didn't do much for me that a cup of coffee wouldn't. Maybe it takes awhile to build up in my system, maybe I should take 2 pills... But so far no increased focus, no extra energy. I guess the effects are different for everyone. Next time I will try to double up the dose to see a difference.

Robert Morris, Jr was an American merchant and banker who came to be known as the financier of the American Revolution. Morris raised the funds in 1781 that made it possible for General George Washington to move his army to Yorktown, where Lord Cornwallis surrendered. He fell into bankruptcy when he invested heavily in land speculation and disposed of his mercantile and banking investments.© 2014 A+E Networks. All rights reserved.

Kimye is here! A month earlier than expected, the progeny of Kim and Kanye chose the eve before Father's Day to come out and is showing her parents that she's in charge!
Instead of being born a Leo as expected, Kimye is a Gemini, a sign that blends even better with her parents. She shares the same sign as her dad, and is an Air sign like Kim, who's a Libra. With the family all being Air signs, they'll all be of the same ilk in terms of being curious, communicative and on the go. Being born into a jet-set life of glitz and glam, Baby Kardashian-West will love wracking up the sky miles and being a social butterfly. Fame will come easy to her, and she'll like all eyes on her. Plus, she'll also have an innate interest in fashion, and be forward in her tastes. Like the way she came into this world, everything about Kimye will be unpredictable.

Update: Cyclist Meek killed in early morning accident
I am shocked to hear about this. I have known David and his family for 30 years, and have known his wife all of my life. He was such a good guy. My heart goes out to her and their two kids. This is just unbelievable.

Date: 1824-01-26
Monday. 26th.
Continued my studies in Geography and read Lord Bacon, also one or two numbers in the North American Review, which in my opinion is not exactly equal to it's predecessor. Having nothing to do, I walked with Johnson to the Capitol, but we were not very well rewarded for our pains, Mr. Alexander Smyth being up, making remarks and observations without end. We saw his papers before him and were always expecting the present one to be the last but he always had one more so that we were entirely disappointed for the day. Finding this to be the case, I went into the Senate. Mr. Barton speaking very coolly on a case of land claims.
This was the first time I had been here for three years, as last Winter although often at the House, there never had been even curiosity enough to draw me here.
The speech here was as uninteresting as the other so that I soon returned to the House. As Johnson was patiently sitting here, I joined him and we made observations on the Members generally. Alexander Smyth is only famous for his proclamations, and foolish conduct in the last war and for having excited the wrath of my father who gave him a most complete overthrow.
This is no boasting as it has been allowed on all sides. He finished
and Mr. Rich then rose, and moved that the committee rise
asking leave to sit again—which was carried without counting the division, Webster voting for it. So this bill is laid asleep after having made some disturbance and ill blood. We returned home very much amused on the whole and spent the rest of the day in conversation.
. David Barton (1783–1837), Senator from Missouri, spoke in favor of a bill to adjust land claims in Missouri and the Territory of Arkansas (
Annals of Congress
, 18 Cong., 1 sess., p. 142).
. For Smyth's conduct in the War of 1812, see entry for
22 Jan.
, and
, above. Smyth and JQA had been carrying on a running battle for months. In January 1823 the Congressman charged JQA with falsifying the
of the Federal Convention, published in 1819 on congressional order by the State Department, but he was obliged to drop his accusation of what JQA called a "conspiracy of the colons and capital letters" when the Secretary proved that no errors were intended when some unusual punctuation appeared in the official printing of the document. In January 1824 Smyth made the preposterous charge that JQA favored the African slave trade. See
, 6:120–122, 124–127; 7:242, 308, 431; and JQA's
[of 22 Dec. 1822],
in Reply to a Letter of the Hon. Alexander
{ 69 }
Smyth, to His Constituents
. . . [Washington?], 1823, first published in the Richmond
4 Jan. 1823, then in the pamphlet cited here, and reprinted in

KEITHVILLE, La.—Officials say 100 biomedical research chimpanzees slated for retirement aren't being sent to a chimpanzee sanctuary like federal statutes require.
Officials at Chimp Haven said Monday 10 of the 110 retiring chimpanzees at the New Iberia Research Center in Lafayette will be sent to the sanctuary in Keithville. The other 100 will be transferred to a laboratory in Texas.
Chimp Haven President Linda Brent said a federal law mandates chimpanzees no longer used for research should be retired to the National Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which is operated by Chimp Haven.
The sanctuary currently houses 125 chimpanzees.
The research center faced allegations of mistreating their research chimpanzees and monkeys in 2009 after federal investigators concluded they didn't comply with several parts of the Animal Welfare Act.

SACRAMENTO — SACRAMENTO (AP) - Three inmates at a federal prison in Northern California have been charged with running a tax scam behind bars.
A federal grand jury in Sacramento on Wednesday indicted 41-year-old Erik Alexander, 46-year-old Juan Paucar and 40-year-old Scott Whitney on tax-fraud charges. All are inmates at Herlong Federal Prison near Susanville, about 220 miles northeast of Sacramento.
They were charged with creating bogus tax returns in the names of other inmates, using information from legitimate employers.
Prosecutors say the inmates sought $93,000 in tax refunds for 2006, although none of the refunds was paid.
The inmates face up to 10 years in prison if they are convicted of conspiracy. Whitney faces the possibility of an additional five-year term for filing a false claim.
Court records did not list defense attorneys for the three men.
