The OPENING of a WHITE
NATIONALIST MIND
Thu. 10/29, 5:00 pm / Please register HERE
GROWING UP AS THE SON OF POPULAR white nationalist radio host Don Black, DEREK BLACK became well-versed in the strategic use of speech: how, for instance, the subtle semantic shift from "white supremacy" to "white nationalism" helped racist ideas gain wider currency and acceptance. When he entered college, he encountered a different array of speech strategies aimed at countering his beliefs, ranging from outright shunning by outraged protesters to patient challenges by fellow students who accepted him as a person. These experiences have given him a unique vantage point on the roots of white nationalism and the ways it can be productively challenged, as well as on both the deep value and the potential hazards of free expression.
