White nationalists, learning yesterday of activist Derek Black’s renouncing of the movement, reacted with disbelief, conspiracy theories and unbridled fury. But it was the fact that Black, son of the former Alabama Klan leader who now runs the largest racist Web forum in the world, made his comments to the Southern Poverty Law Center that seemed to be the single factor that most rankled the racist world.
The reaction that may have been the most noticed came from Don Black, who expressed his shock about his son’s comments on his Stormfront blog. “Derek was here all weekend, helping us build and replace old windows” at the family home in West Palm Beach, Fla., the elder Black wrote. “He’s made it annoyingly obvious over the past few months he was no longer interested in WN [white nationalist] activism, but he always said he was still WN. I knew the Jews at the Poverty Palace [SPLC] were working hard, since he would be such a big prize for them.
“But he didn’t give us a clue as to what he planned today.”
“I don’t want to talk to him, but his big sister called him, and he confirmed that he had written what the SPLC posted,” Black added. “He says he doesn’t understand why we’d feel betrayed just because he announced his ‘personal beliefs’ to our worst enemies. Oh well. Just when I thought I couldn’t lose anything else.”
On Vanguard News Network (VNN), another racist Web forum, one Leonard Rouse sounded similar. “He sent an email, meant for publication, to his worst enemy, repudiating everything he formerly stood for and that his father claimed and claims to stand for. …. I want to give people the benefit of the doubt, but Jesus.”
Others were far harsher. On the white nationalist Occidental Dissent website, “Maxfield Parrish” didn’t hold back. “He is a traitor, one without hope and one without redemption,” he said of Derek Black, 24. “Should WN’s ever seize power his name should figure prominently on the ‘Hunt Down List.’” Parrish went on to describe how the younger Black should be “softened up with brass knuckles to the face and groin, then water-boarded,” ultimately “reducing him to a quivering, gelatinous lump of obedient flesh,” before being exiled to Africa.
“He is now an open enemy of the survival of the race,” said a VNN posting from “N.B. Forrest” — a reference to Nathan Bedford Forrest, an antebellum owner of a major slaveyard, Confederate general and first national leader of the Ku Klux Klan.
Others, less furiously, were shocked by what they saw as Black’s adoption of “politically correct” language — talking about “people of color,” “structural oppression,” the need for affirmative action and so on. Some were particularly incensed that he apologized for actions that had harmed minorities and “activists striving for opportunity and fairness for all.” Doubtless, that sounded suspiciously like SPLC staffers to many of those reacting angrily to Black’s statement.
“Black has not only rejected WNism, he appears to have embraced the hardest of hardcore anti-racism in the process, and with the zeal of a convert,” a poster who gave his name only as Lew complained on the Occidental Dissent thread. “He covered the bases in regurgitating every anti-white cliché I can think of.”
Numerous posters on racist websites theorized that Derek Black had taken up with a Jewish, liberal or non-white girlfriend; that he was secretly gay; that he was acting out of anger at his father; that he was being blackmailed by the SPLC with an unspecified secret; or that he was still a believer, but wanted a normal life.
There were a few who tried to look at their own movement for answers. On Occidental Dissent, “Pro White Joe,” who is actually well-known Montana neo-Nazi April Gaede, said the problem with the white nationalist movement was its “overwhelming Negativity.” “The problem I see with WN and Nationalist websites in general, is you go to them expecting WN to be about ‘identity, preservation and self determination for Whites’ — Yet almost all of the discussion is rants about ‘niggers, jews and nazis’ and everyone is angry and paranoid.” Gaede is the mother of two daughters who once formed a racist band, Prussian Blue, but who have since renounced white nationalism like Derek Black.
And then there were those who acknowledged the most obvious conclusion — that it’s an error to indoctrinate young children and then expect them to hold to those beliefs as they become adults. “It’s a mistake to involve kids in the Movement, as we have learned the hard way,” “Kievasky” wrote on the Occidental Dissent thread. “Teach your kids right and wrong but don’t use them as spokesmen or public faces for anything. Religions do that too — they force children to publicly announce beliefs when they are too young to even have formed beliefs. You got to let kids be kids. White nationalism is like booze, guns and fast cars — for adults only.”

“But he didn’t give us a clue as to what he planned today.”
He did not give you a clue because he knew how you and your ilk would respond—-so the less you knew of his plans, the better for him.
“I don’t want to talk to him, but his big sister called him, and he confirmed that he had written what the SPLC posted,” Black added. “He says he doesn’t understand why we’d feel betrayed just because he announced his ‘personal beliefs’ to our worst enemies.

Maybe, your son has realized that continuous hate consumes a person in heart, in body, in mind, in spirit. Your son obviously had enough of the poison that he was drowning in. The hate you fed him as a child. The vicious destruction you committed against him in the form of child abuse–teaching him to hate his fellow human beings.
“On the white nationalist Occidental Dissent website, “Maxfield Parrish” didn’t hold back. “He is a traitor, one without hope and one without redemption,” he said of Derek Black, 24.”
No, Mr. Parrish. You are a traitor. You are a traitor to treating all people right; you are a traitor against the Constitution of the United States of America; you are a traitor against all that is moral and right in accepting the decision that this young man made for himself.
“Parrish went on to describe how the younger Black should be “softened up with brass knuckles to the face and groin, then water-boarded,” ultimately “reducing him to a quivering, gelatinous lump of obedient flesh,” before being exiled to Africa.”
So, terroristic threats to commit bodily injury is how you attempt to bring this young man back to the racist secesh fold? Keep in mind, any harm that befalls young Mr. Black will result in criminal charges against the attacker. Assault with intent to commit bodily injury; torture (waterboarding), and “reducing him to a quivering, gelatinous lump of obedient flesh” (“There must be obedience, or die!”), all fall under felony charges. Since young Mr. Black is an adult, he still has the right to make decisions for himself. Forcing him to continue beliefs in racist hate is stupid, and if you are able to forcibly detain him against his will, whether in his own home, or anywhere else, that constitutes kidnapping, which is still a federal offense.
As for young Mr. Black “being exiled to Africa”, all I can say is “WTF!?”
So, that is the ultimate punishment for this young man: send him on a vacation to Africa? And where to in Africa?
Tanzania? Kenya? Cote d’Ivoire?
I hear that Tanzania is very beautiful, the people friendly, and the flora and fauna are off the chain.
But, of course, in your twisted mind, Mr. Parrish, sending anyone to Africa is supposed to be some sort of death knell. On the contrary. Had this young man remained with the likes of his father and people like you, he most certainly would have gone through a death of the soul, as well as the body–if he messed with the wrong person.

Oh, wow, who’d have thunk it?
Constant harping about niggers, Jews, and nazis (why Nazis, since so many of your ilk are just as venomous as they are) and your rampant demented paranoia, only serves to drive people away from such monsters as yourselves, Mr. Black senior and Mr. Parrish, as well you, Ms-well-known Montana neo-Nazi April Gaede.
“White nationalism is like booze, guns and fast cars — for adults only.”
And just like booze (alchoholics), guns (excessive puerile love affairs with AK-47s), and fast cars (driving at top speeds to get away from the scenes of crimes some of you have committed), so many of you haters have pretty much destroyed yourselves by your own hands.
No need for anyone to go looking for a fight with any of you.
All of you are so very, very good at annihilating yourselves.
