Former Nazi extremist here

My parents were both Democrat voting liberals. I was raised in Massachusetts in one of the most liberal districts, one of the first in the country to teach critical race theory

My extremism started as a result of combing several pieces of information together without a valid counter argument. I looked at FBI crime rates by race, thought to myself “why do blacks commit more crimes per capita than whites” and it was all downhill from there.

Once you start looking for extremist communities it’s not hard to find them. You feel included in it like it’s a secret society, like you’re fundamentally alike. Like two humans in a wild jungle.

So how did you get out of it?

I realized that the Nazi ideology was based on a scapegoat boogie man, and that it holds no statistical grounds in the modern world.

Well good on you for learning and growing . It’s a hard thing for many, regardless of what the view is, to do.

Something important to add is that a lot of modern white nationalism is a direct response to black nationalism/black supremacy organizations and cultural norms.

I guess that depends on what you consider black nationalist/ supremacy groups…. I dont consider groups that protest cops killing blacks like Black Lives Matter a nationalist or supremacy group..: plus the factor of minority status makes black nationalism difficult … I think the white nationalists often twist the message of their “counterpart” in order to rouse the hate …

There’s definitely a strawman at play. There are numerous organizations that have made “white supremacy” videos, the most famous one being the woman who said “What exactly are white people better than black people at? Conquering!”

White supremacists treat the entire left wing as if they believe in that, when in reality they don’t.

Even in the Black Lives Matter thing, there’s a range, kind of like antifa. On one end you have the white teenage girls putting BLM in their Instagram bio, and on the other end you have the people burning down cities. In reality a vast majority of people who support BLM fall in between. Again, an example of scapegoating/strawman

The best answer that will be Reddit-friendly is that the black people of America are still recovering (economically) from slavery, thus they are statistically poorer, thus they commit more crime per capita.

We’re two generations on from enforced segregation. We’re still in the throes of voluntary segregation. Black communities are still targeted by policing and law.

Stop with this BS.

In reality the real issue lies in culture. The black culture of America is seemingly one that promotes violence and crime.

Take black music for example. Read the lyrics of a black rap song and see what I mean. Promotes nothing but violence and crime.

Compared to popular white music, they’re completely different
