someone has taken a young man, hung him in a tree. who would do something this hideous? michael donald was an innocent good samaritan, not a thug. the mobile police department just didn t want to believe that mobile would still have klan in it. but they did. that s why we kept marching and protesting, letting them know we were going to take this lion down. the admitted klansmen turned to action as the words, guilty of capital murder, sank in. it was the first time since at least the early 1900s that a white had been sentenced to death for a crime committed against a black person in the state of alabama. beulah mae donald is grieving, but also seeking justice for her child. this is a black woman who s just lost her son to lynching. finds the strength to move forward in a civil suit against the klan in alabama. the stakes could not be higher. the body of a black man has been found hanging from a tree in mobile, alabama. lynching is a tool to control and oppr

the settlement in the michael donald case certainly was something that organizers in the white power movement were paying attention to, as they planned what was next for their movement. what doesn t destroy us makes us stronger. and i believe that these type of attacks, in many ways, will strengthen our movement. the old way of activism was a problem, because the michael donald case really brought down that model of organizing. the klan becomes one strand of a broad and intertwined social movement that brought together klansmen, neo-nazis, white separatists, christian identity proponents, and other followers of white religious theologies. later on, it brought in skinheads and militiamen. and it brought people together in a much more violent and revolutionary way than they had organized their violence under shelton and the uka. off to the battlefield, my fellow texans! white victory! white victory! we don t need to be in the
thank you for staying here. i have a question for you that i m really struggling with. i ve asked it a number of times on the air this week, and it s not a rhetorical question. i don t know how to get at the answer, though, because i feel it s uncharted territory for this century. which is the president made the remarks that bolstered a movement that waxes and wanes in our country but never goes away, the white supremacists, white nationalists, white separatists neo-nazi movement. i think he s doing it on purpose, i don t think he s screwing up. and my question, the thing that i can t foresee, and i m worried about, is how it changes those groups and their power and their ability to achieve their designs that he has done this. how do you think we can try to either imagine that, or foresee that? i think that the isolation of the president and keeping him small to the extent that he is trying to engage in these actions is really important. and i think it s already happening. remember w
violent extremism program. after the new administration came to power, that decision has been reversed and we lost our funding last month. did they say why? they said they recalibrated the scoring of the grants and changed the metrics and we didn t qualify under the new calibration. there s some scoring and metrics to look at this weekend, alicia. it is kind of amazing that a lot of people, i think a lot of americans will be surprised there s funding for these things because they say is this really that big a problem. we ve just shown our audience what you know really, really well that not only is this still a problem. this business of alt-right, white centralism, ku klux klan neo-naziism is growing in america. it is growing. thank you for naming them, calling them out for what they are, white nationalists, white
