Derek Black Won 60 percent of the vote
Derek Black, the son of a former KKK grand wizard, is suing the Palm Beach County Republican Party for a seat on their Executive Committee. Black won 60 percent of the vote in a primary and is demanding to be seated. The local Republican party, shocked at the election results, apparently barred Black from taking his seat. Local Republican officials claim that Black refused to sign a loyalty oath.
There are so many problems with this story. Firstly, how did a self-avowed white separatist win 60 percent of the vote? And if he won the vote, he should be seated. The problem is the local GOP realize that Black is an embarrassment, but shouldn't someone have vetted him before he ran? I guess Republicans have not learned from the Palin debacle.
Black, who is a wonderkid in white supermacist circles, likes to bill himself as an advocate of "white pride." Like many white supermacists, he is trying to market himself as telegenic, Conservative who wants to show pride in his European heritiage. But look at Black's geneology. His father is a former Klansman and the founder of Stormfront, the granddaddy of online hate sites, and his mother was formerly married to David Duke!
It's disturbing that former and current white supremacists keep popping up in the GOP. Rep. Ron Paul's son Rand, was brushed with scandal after it was revealed that a Senate campaign worker posted racist messages on his MySpace page. Ron Paul (above left) himself has also been dogged by accusations of racially offensive messages in a newsletter he used to run. But judging by the rhetoric that is coming out of the Republican Party, most white supermacists would probably fit right in.
