It was only after he began attending New College of Florida that Black began to question his own point of view. Previously, he had been home-schooled, but suddenly he was was exposed to people who didn’t share his views, including a few Jewish students who became friends. Black’s new friends invited him over for Shabbat dinner week after week. Gradually, he began to rethink his views.

NPR, “How A Rising Star Of White Nationalism Broke Free From The Movement”, 24 Sept 2018:

Derek Black was following in his father’s footsteps in the world of white nationalism until he had a change of heart.

As the son of a grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, Derek Black was once the heir apparent of the white nationalist movement.

Growing up, he made speeches, hosted a radio show and started the website KidsStormfront — which acted as a companion to Stormfront, the white nationalist website his father, Don Black, created.

“The fundamental belief that drove my dad, drove my parents and my family, over decades, was that race was the defining feature of humanity ... and that people were only happy if they could live in a society that was only this one biologically defined racial group,” Black says.

It was only after he began attending New College of Florida that Black began to question his own point of view. Previously, he had been home-schooled, but suddenly he was exposed to people who didn’t share his views, including a few Jewish students who became friends.

Black’s new friends invited him over for Shabbat dinner week after week. Gradually, he began to rethink his views. After much soul-searching, a 22-year-old Black wrote an article, published by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2013, renouncing white nationalism.

Derek Black’s “awakening” is the subject of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Eli Saslow’s new book, Rising Out Of Hatred. Saslow also interviewed Black’s father and other leaders in the white nationalist movement.

Interview Highlights

On the “rebranding” of white supremacy, led in part by Derek’s father, Don Black

Derek Black: My dad popularized the term “white nationalism” ... when he founded Stormfront and called it a white nationalist community, and he saw the distinction between white nationalism and white supremacy as being one that he didn’t want anything bad for anyone else — he just wanted everybody to be forcibly put in different spaces, and that that was not about superiority, it was just about the well-being of everybody. ... Looking back on it, that is totally irrational. How exactly do you think you’re going to forcibly separate everybody and that that’s not supremacy?

Eli Saslow: They believed America was founded as a white supremacist country. ... Their job was just to give people a space to say racist ideas in a more explicit, proud, confident way. ...

White nationalism, I think, effectively identifies a movement of people who are actively pursuing an end cause of separating races into different homelands. White supremacy, unfortunately, is something that’s much more endemic, and much more structured into what the country is.

On Black’s usage of white nationalist talking points in a campaign for the West Palm Beach County Republican Committee

Black: I knew from the time that I was a child that white nationalism, as long as it was not necessarily calling itself white nationalism, could win campaigns. So I did things like run little Republican county elections [to] demonstrate that I could win with the majority of the vote [using] white nationalist talking points in a very normal South Florida neighborhood.

I ran training sessions on how people could hone their message to try to get that audience, not freak people out and just tap into things like, “Don’t you think all these Spanish signs on the highway are making everything worse? And don’t you think political correctness is just not letting you talk about things that are real?” And getting people to agree on that would be the way forward.

On how President Obama’s election motivated white nationalists

Saslow: I think a lot of white nationalists saw President Obama’s election as a huge opportunity for their movement. Because what white nationalists have done, with dangerous effect, is play to this factually incorrect sense of grievance that exists, unfortunately, in large parts of white America.

Polls consistently show that 30 to 40 percent of white Americans believe that they experience more discrimination and more prejudice than people of color or than Jews, which is factually incorrect by every measure that we have, but by feeding that sense of grievance and by playing to these ideas of your country is being taken away, things are changing, this is turning into a place that you don’t recognize. We don’t need this kind of immigration. We don’t want these signs in Spanish — that has a huge effect with a lot of voters, and it’s what got Derek elected [he was unable to serve in office], and it’s what has gotten other politicians elected in our country as well.

On the responsibility Black feels for racially motivated violence that was inspired by the white nationalist beliefs he once espoused

I said things that tried to energize racist ideas and get people to be more explicit about it. And then people who listened to that and who believed it, some of them committed horrible, violent acts.

                ...That is a moral weight that is very difficult to reconcile.

Derek Black

Black: I spent so many years rationalizing that that was not us. We were not responsible for that. We were not advocating violence, so therefore when people committed violent acts who had all the same beliefs as us, that that was not us. That was the media portraying us in a way that attracted psychopaths, and that we were somehow not responsible for that because it was not clear how to tangibly connect what I was saying and what I was promoting to the actions that those people took.

And now I look back on it and I said things that tried to energize racist ideas and get people to be more explicit about it. And then people who listened to that and who believed it, some of them committed horrible, violent acts. And what is my culpability and responsibility for how these things went out into the world and they continue to bounce around in the world, and I can’t take them back? That is a moral weight that is very difficult to reconcile.

On how the actions of various students Black met at college helped him move away from his white nationalist beliefs

Saslow: In addition to being the story of Derek’s transformation, the book is also the story of the real courage shown by a lot of students on this campus who invested themselves in trying to affect profound change. And they did that in a lot of different ways. There was civil resistance on campus by a group of students who organized the school shutdown, and shut down the school, and sort of cast Derek out, and made it clear to him how awful, and how hateful, and how hurtful this ideology was.

And it was also students like Allison, eventually his girlfriend, who won his trust, built a relationship, but [who] also armored herself with the facts, and sort of like point by point went through and showed how this ideology is built on total misinformation.

And then there were also [Jewish] students like Matthew [Stevenson] and Moshe [Ash] who, in a remarkable act, invited Derek over week after week after week, not to build the case against him but to build their relationship, hoping that just by spending more and more time with them he would be able to begin seeing past the stereotypes to the people and to the humanity. I think it’s important to note that that did not happen quickly, and that they knew the full horror of a lot of the beliefs of this ideology and things that Derek had said.

The Dark Side of Self Actualization: Derek Black’s Reflexive Reversal on WN

... illustrating the inherent instability of the right.

Social Const….

Greg Johnson discusses his new book, “The White Nationalist Manifesto” with J.F. Gariepy.

I can recommend it only with caveat.

While he does lay out the case for Whites being genocided and recognizes the necessity for raising the perceived legitimacy and consciousness of the need for White Nationalism, he does not see the contradiction in his using social constructionism as an example of social theory antagonistic to that consciousness and practice.

He calls race being a social construct “an entirely bogus idea.” ...This is an expression of his middling (138) I.Q. He’s only smart enough to talk himself out of the eminent utility and truth of the concept.

Social Constructionism (proper) does not say that race, evolution and biological distinctions are not real. What it does, rather, is sensitize our attention to our social connection, indebtedness - which is true (not bogus) - consciousness of which provides for some agency and accountability (coherence and warrant too), at very least in determining how these things come to count.

You would not want to oppose this sensitization to social conscientiousness, agency and accountability (coherence and warrant) if you are looking to build consciousness and conscientiousness of White Nationalism.

Similarly, you would not want to be arguing against THE Left, as he does, given its general enculturation of union type organization, loyalty and compassion to the full group, including those on the margins, full group advocacy against elite and rank and file betrayal, if you want to raise consciousness and loyal adherents to White Nationalism.

Greg Johnson. Typical Right Winger ...with a lisp and a better than average I.Q., which is good, but maybe not good enough.

While Duke is cited at MR for his theoretical ineptitude - and properly so, since often as not he’s not just misdirecting WN, he’s pointing us in the wrong direction theoretically - if you take into account right wing perfidy (naive or disingenuous complicity) and with that, like many right wingers, that his fact finding is based on and headed toward a naive/disingenuous universal, objectivist model of ‘dems da real racists’, and put the more radical requirement for pursuit of a separatist agenda of our relative interests and its qualitative perspectives aside for a moment, it is also the case that he, with the assistance of Patrick Slattery, can provide useful facts and figures - revealing some outrageous injustices being perpetrated by the YKW. One of their best efforts was to take the (((Ron Unz))) article that looked at discrimination against Asians at Harvard and put it to the ‘translation (discrimination) machine’ - i.e., parsing Jewish crypsis, to distinguish it from Whites (the Unz article and the Asian law-suit is not making this distinction) and getting the net result of vast over-representation of Jews at Harvard and vast under representation of Whites at Harvard - Harvard being a key gate to power and influence in American life.

Hyperbolic over-representation of Jews/under-representation of Whites in the Ivy League - not merit based (not even close)

“White Privilege” or “Jewish Privilege” : The Ultimate Racism in America

White Privilege or Jewish Privilege?

The Jewish dominated media is constantly ranting about so-called “white privilege” in America, yet in the most important universities of America, the very institutions which form the very foundation of the American elite,  non-Jewish European Americans are by far the most underrepresented group of all.

68% of the population of America is European American — Harvard allowed 20% White students.

In fact, Jews are vastly over-represented by proportion of population and vastly over-represented over far better qualified non-Jewish students! Their over-representation Harvard and in the Ivy League is not only incredibly disproportionate against European American students, but also wildly disproportionate against every other racial group in America.

Above: Here is a chart showing the appalling lack of true diversity at Harvard and the Ivy League. Jews are dramatically over-represented in comparison with every ethnic/racial group in America. In comparison with European Americans, Jews are almost 47 times more represented than their population would merit. That’s four thousand seven hundred percent over-represented in comparison with the actual population of Jews and European Americans!

Even though European Americans founded Harvard, America’s most important university, and are almost 70 percent of the American population, the university is now under powerful Jewish influence, to the point that only about 20 percent of the students at America’s premier university are European Americans.(1)

Harvard and the Ivy League practice a blatant racist discrimination against better-qualified students and only allows Whites to make up 20 percent of the Harvard student body–as compared to allotting 25 percent of it to Jews, who are only 1.8 percent of the American population.

Jews are 1.8% of college age Americans and given 25% of Harvard’s admissions

It should be noted that Jews are the most privileged by far of any other identifiable group in the United States by income and influence. Jewish students are also dramatically over-represented in comparison with Asians, Hispanics and African Americans as well as in comparison with European-descended students. So this Jewish privilege and preference is also over every non-Jewish group in America.

In fact as Ron Unz points out in the “Myth of American Meritocracy,” (2) Jewish racism is accelerating at Harvard. He documents that between 2000 and 2011, only the Jewish group increased in percentages at Harvard, while every other group fell. The Jewish increase of 35 percent was above an already outrageous Jewish over-representation.

So, in fact, Jews are the real kings of racist privilege in America, and this is especially true in the most important elite universities of America which are the primary source of the ruling elite of the American establishment.

European Americans who founded these great universities and who are 68 percent of the population, are the most discriminated against, of all groups, and dramatically so!

But masquerading as a socialist is not where her crypsis ends. She’s been engaged in literal goyim identity theft.

” It was, in the end, an arrest about nothing.” ....says (((The New York Times))).

New York Times, 6 Sept 2018:

ALBANY — It was, in the end, an arrest about nothing.

“An Arrest? An Affair? Keith Hernandez? Just Another Day in the Julia Salazar Campaign”

In the latest twist in the Zelig-like story of Julia Salazar — born-again democratic socialist, would-be immigrant and actual New York State Senate candidate in Brooklyn — news broke on Thursday of her 2011 arrest involving a dispute with the ex-wife of the former New York Mets first baseman Keith Hernandez.

The charge? Attempted identity theft.

The legal skirmish between the two women also included an assertion that Ms. Salazar, 27, had an affair with Mr. Hernandez, an allegation that both denied but which nonetheless propelled the already peculiar political story into the realm of media mania, with the candidate being pursued down a street outside City Hall on Thursday by question-barking reporters and a television camera crew.

Scrutiny of Julia Salazar’s history revealed inconsistencies that threaten to undermine her candidacy.

The newest revelation, first reported by DailyMail.com, about Ms. Salazar dates to 2010 when Kai Hernandez, then Mr. Hernandez’s estranged wife, filed a police report alleging that Ms. Salazar, then a 19-year-old attending Columbia University, had attempted “to gain access to my bank accounts by fraudulently pretending to be me” in a phone call to Ms. Hernandez’s bank.

At the time, Ms. Hernandez also accused Ms. Salazar of a range of other crimes, including stealing more than $10,000 in cash, nearly $1,000 in wine and $1,175 in Pottery Barn gift cards. Ms. Salazar had been a neighbor of Ms. Hernandez in Tequesta, Fla., and house-sat for her on several occasions, according to court documents.

The couple divorced in February 2011. The next month, Ms. Salazar was arrested on charges of criminal use of personal information, according to police reports.

Those charges, however, were dismissed and Ms. Salazar filed a lawsuit in 2013 against Ms. Hernandez alleging that her “false accusations” and “character assassination” had led to the humiliation of “being handcuffed, being fingerprinted and having to pose for mug shots.” An amended complaint, filed by Ms. Salazar’s lawyer, contained the suggestion of the affair, used as an example of Ms. Hernandez’s dishonesty and malfeasance toward his client. The complaint also noted that Ms. Salazar had known Mr. Hernandez since childhood.

“Julia considered Keith to be a father figure,” the complaint read.

After a four-year legal battle, the case resolved in Ms. Salazar’s favor last March with a $20,000 payment to her, according to her lawyer, Adam Hecht.

Ms. Salazar, who is running in the Democratic primary for a State Senate seat representing Brooklyn, claimed she was defamed by Kai Hernandez, the ex-wife of Keith Hernandez, a retired professional baseball player.

“Kai Hernandez’s bizarre and fraudulent attempts to defame and victimize Julia were recognized as baseless by the authorities, who declined to file charges, and this matter was resolved,” Mr. Hecht said in a statement. “Keith, Kai and Julia agree that there was no affair. We have no further comment on this.”

The revelations only added to the snowballing, stranger-than-fiction tale of Ms. Salazar, whose insurgent campaign has been buffeted by a series of articles outlining discrepancies in her personal biography. Among the inconsistencies are her campaign’s assertion that she was an immigrant from Colombia, though she was actually born and raised in the United States, and the implication that she had graduated from Columbia. (She conceded in an interview with The New York Times that while she had completed her course work, she had not graduated and did not intend to.)

Other curiosities in her biography include her embrace of left-wing politics (she is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America) after serving as the president of a conservative, right-to-life group in college. Raised in a Roman Catholic home, Ms. Salazar also once served as the Columbia chapter president of Christians United for Israel, before renouncing that group and converting to Judaism.

The involvement of Mr. Hernandez, now a Mets television broadcaster on SNY, also brought on a barrage of jokes about “Seinfeld,” the famous show about nothing, which the ballplayer made several appearances on. A spokeswoman for the network had no additional comment beyond the denial of any affair.

Ms. Salazar is challenging State Sen. M. M. Dilan to represent a North Brooklyn district. On Thursday, a week before the Sept. 13 primary, Ms. Salazar happened to be at City Hall for a photo shoot when she was engaged by the gaggle of reporters.

Asked why she filed the lawsuit, Ms. Salazar was succinct.

“Because false accusations were made against me,” she said.

If (((she said it))), must be true, according to the (((New York Times))).

DSA’s Julia Salazar Is Headed to the New York State Senate

The Intercept,, 15 Sept 2018:

As the final vote tally came across the TV screens above, Julia Salazar stared off in a daze at the sea of supporters who had crammed into a Bushwick bar Thursday night.

“Oh, my God,” Salazar said aloud to no one in particular as her campaign staff swarmed her. The 27-year-old democratic socialist candidate for state Senate had done what socialists do not typically do in American politics: She’d won, and won big, knocking off longtime incumbent state Sen. Martin Dilan.

Her 18-point victory over the four-term establishment incumbent was another watershed moment for the Democratic Socialists of America, whose rise in American politics in the Donald Trump era went into hyperdrive in June with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s shock victory.

“This is a victory for workers,” said a still-startled Salazar in her short victory speech. “This is a victory for the oppressed, for the marginalized across the state of New York.”

Weeks of intense scrutiny over Salazar’s personal life led to a string of news stories that accused her of misleading voters on her immigration status, Jewish heritage, and socio-economic background while growing up in Florida. The nonstop, high-profile scandals seemed to have had virtually no effect at the ballot box. If anything, her supporters rallied harder for her.

Julia Salazar (Wikipedia):

Julia Salazar (born December 31, 1990) is an American politician and activist. As a first-time candidate, she defeated incumbent New York State Senator Martin Malave Dilan to become the Democratic nominee for the 18th district in 2018.[1] She attracted national media attention for her views and statements and for being a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Early life and education

Salazar was born in Miami in 1990.[2][3] Her mother is an American citizen by birth, while her father was a naturalized citizen from Colombia.[4][5] Salazar was raised in a conservative home and at 18, registered as a Republican.[6] According to her campaign spokesperson, she registered with the Independence Party of New York in March 2010, mistakenly believing that it was meant she was an unaffiliated voter.[6]

Salazar attended Columbia University, but told the New York Times she did not earn a degree.[7] While at Columbia, Salazar was pro-life and a member of pro-Israel Christian student groups, but later became involved in campus Jewish life and tenant organizing.[3][8][9][10]

In 2011, a police report was filed by Kai Hernandez, former wife of New York Mets player Keith Hernandez,[11] accusing Salazar of attempting to gain access to Hernandez’s accounts at UBS by impersonating her over the phone;[12] Salazar was arrested, but the charges were dismissed when the state prosecutor said the voice identification was insufficient to pursue the case.[13] Kai Hernandez said that Salazar had house-sat for the couple in the past.[13] A court dispute between Hernandez and Salazar followed, in which Salazar sought damages for defamation and won settlement in her favor.[11]

After college, she became a grassroots organizer and campaigned extensively for legislation around police accountability.[3]

2018 New York State Senate campaign

In April 2018, Salazar announced her candidacy for the 18th district of the New York State Senate.[14] She ran against incumbent Senator Martin Malave Dilan in the Democratic primary, which took place on September 13, 2018.[14][15]

Her campaign gained significant attention after the primary victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York’s 14th congressional district.[15] She has been endorsed by Our Revolution,[16] the Democratic Socialists of America,[17] Cynthia Nixon,[18] and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.[3][19] Citizens Union initially endorsed Salazar but later revoked their endorsement, citing discrepancies in information she provided about her academic credentials and whether or not she had graduated college.[20]

On September 13, 2018 Salazar defeated Dilan for the Democratic nomination.[21] She advances to the general election on November 6, 2018, where she does not face a Republican opponent.[22][23]

Dispute over personal history

Over the course of her campaign, journalists, including Armin Rosen, highlighted what they said were contradictions in statements about her personal life and family background.[5][24][25][26]

Salazar described herself as an “immigrant from Colombia” in interviews published in August, including one with the The Intercept,[15] and in campaign speeches and literature.[27][28] In interviews as early as May 5th, she explained that she was born in Miami at a time when her parents were living part of the time in Colombia,[9][19][24] and made clear that she was an American citizen.[25][26][29][30]

Salazar has described herself as Jewish, and said her father was a Colombian Sephardic Jew descended from the medieval community that was expelled from Spain, and that she started to explore Judaism in college.[5][4][9][26] Rosen said these claims could not be verified,[5][9][24] and her brother said their father “never mentioned” any Sephardic heritage to him;[31] Salazar’s mother said that, although the family was Catholic on both sides, Julia’s father’s family had a Sephardic background, saying “that’s where her interest stems from. This is not something that was invented for the purposes of this campaign.”[7][9] Salazar said Rosen was engaging in “race science” and said he had “threatened to publish her mother’s personal information if she didn’t cooperate.”[27] In college, she studied Jewish texts and observed kosher food rules,[24][29][32] and was involved with the Jewish organization Hillel.[9]

Salazar has also described her family and upbringing as “poor” and “working class”.[9] Her brother said their family was “upper-middle class” while Salazar’s mother said the family was “a little bit of both worlds”;[33][34] Salazar had a trust fund of approximately $685,000 in her name, left by her father.[35]

In kindred (((concern))), shobbos goy Robert Stark is lending his platform for (((Joshua Zeidner))) to promote kosher leftism as well, viz., “socialist nationalism”, to try to head off our war of position:

Diversity Macht Frei, “Hardcore racist Chinamen leave weak-willed whites floundering in the dust”, 11 Sept 2018:

By Czakal

Ruthless Chinamen are amazing the world with their hardcore, unabashed racism. These Chinks just don’t care.

What are they up to now?

Brainwashing Muslims to make them forget their faith.

Western countries need to study these Chinese techniques and adopt them.

The Chinaman was then grabbed and deported for “racism”. Africans may soon be getting nostalgic for the soft and benevolent racism of Whitey.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVwhitGpSv0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHg3aj9gl3w

The slant-eyed furies are also going to Africa… 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XEytsKBoco

...and beating the natives with sticks whenever they don’t work hard enough.

The kind of ruthless racial self-assertion that these Chinks engage in is world-beating. Whites can’t compete with it. Not now that we have sunk into the abyss of altruism.

As Baudelaire said: The world belongs to the one who doesn’t care. These Chinamen don’t care.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=lDpJK9sMqJI

They don’t care about human rights. They don’t care about decency. They don’t care about the fucked-up moral standards the Jews have imposed on us. That’s why the world will soon be theirs.

It wasn’t that long ago that Whites were as hardcore as these Chinamen. Ask yourself: is the world really a better place now that they’re not?

“Western countries need to study these Chinese techniques and adopt them.”

Not adopt them. Whites need to adapt ruthless ferocity to the ethnonationalist cause. In the two examples, one would be correct, and one would not.

Where Islamic incursions are quelled, that is correct.

Going to an African country, enslaving them, beating them and so on - when it is not sheer self defense - is not.

But of course, such bad advice (e.g., that we should be brutal slave masters over Africans) is typical of right wing reactionaries - to look for a foundation in natural fallacy, in sheer might makes right supremacism beyond the complexity of social praxis. ...and, of course, when praxis is ignored, then broader patterns of nemesis correction are in store for the hubris.
