    Thanks for posting that article. Wonderful read. If not for Matthew Stevenson extending out... remind me of the phrase hatred can only be ended by love.

    “If we say it a thousand times — ‘White genocide! We are losing control of our country!’ — politicians are going to start saying it, too,”

    Lol, yet we have posters here that claim this isn't racism. All the arguments in this are very very familiar to some around here...it was a great read.

    Very interesting story. It's good to know that there are some that can learn and grow and move away from such a terrible group of people.,

    I read the whole piece and very moving. I'm glad that Derek found friends who helped guide him from his isolated and paranoid world views. I'm also glad that rather than entrenching like so many do when confronted with something that greatly challenges their world views he was open to listen and do his research. It's sad that most of his family is ostracizing him but it's a tragic and common story of a child who outgrows their parents insular world view only to be rejected. I give a lot of praise to him for handling it with grace.

    Good read. Honestly kind of humanized the stormfront folk which is not easily done.

    They gave him scientific papers about the effects of discrimination on blood pressure, job performance and mental health.

    This statement here is a correlation to what happened to me. Thank you America for being ******* towards me.

    naw I was pointing out how horrible the Democratic party is. Especially the crap that came out in the past couple of weeks.

    So you'd take a white nationalist over FDR? Noted.

    Most people
    Most people are independent and if you are a person of color you are either lack political savvy or have a screw loose if you aren't.

    What is your point? A person of color should support White nationalist?

    My point is most candidates are deceiving if you take a close examination of policies. When all said and done neither Republican nor Democrat have good intentions, especially for minorities.
