Meet Don Black: White Supremist Conspiracy Theory Nut

You may remember Don Black's son, Derek, attempted to get elected Palm Beach County's Republican Executive Committee. Black was disqualified because of his white supremist beliefs. The elder Black has served as the national Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan. Don Black now runs the white supremist group Stormfront. The group's logo is "White Pride World Wide."

One of the great things about Twitter is it gives wingnuts a forum to embarrass themselves. Black tweeted the conspiracy theory that white genocide is occurring in South Africa.

Black's evidence is a video by David Duke. Duke spreads the lie that blacks were free under apartheid. (That doesn't even pass the laugh test.) Duke quotes a BBC story about genocide of whites in South Africa. A search of Google finds no such article. Black's most important tweet is the rantings of a fellow white supremist.

A fun fact is that Duke received his PhD from the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management in the Ukraine. The Anti-Defamation League has described the school as the "University of Hate." The Ukrainian government condemned the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management for anti-semitism.

Duke also spread the myth that Obama wasn't born in the United States. Duke and Black disguise their hatemongering by masking their rhetoric with talk of civil and human rights. Their rhetoric about civil rights disappears when they fail to condemn their Stormfront followers for wishing the assassination Obama. It is hard to take Black and Duke seriously as civil rights advocates when they spent much of their adult lives wearing Klu Klux Klan robes.
