In my teen years I naturally gravitated towards white nationalism because I grew up in a very liberal environment, in which virtually all the institutions in my area were left of center (school system, media, the govt). I also found a lot of the discussions on online forums to be very fascinating and thought provoking. Many of the posters on these forums were very objective, red-pilled, and very well-informed minus a few trolls. As I've grown up though, I've seen a lot of hypocrisy in some of these nationalist circles especially on the fringes.
There was this group called the NSM (The National Socialist Movement) which operated about an hour and a half a way from me. I always disliked their style of dress, and I believed that many of their members were very un-professional and very un-disciplined as a movement. The sad thing was that the media would like to broadcast their marches as a way of showing how pathetic their movement was. The joke was that there was 100 counter demonstrators for every one NSM demonstrator. In hindsight, I found it ludicrous that the media was giving so much attention to such an obscure group that was by all means politically impotent.
Furthermore, their leader Jeff Schoep made headlines in the SPLC for dating a Syrian woman with a mixed race daughter while another member also was said to have had relations with a native american woman. In another case, a school principal and popular WN online poster by the name of Scott Roberts was said to have had a relationship with a woman of Mexican descent. I'm sure I could name other examples, but they really wouldn't be worth mentioning.
The Nation of Islam is a black nationalist group with a wide following among the black community. At one time, Kanye and Dave Chappelle were prominent members. They both also went on to marry non-black spouses. Obama's advisor, Van Jones was originally a member of the group, but he went on to marry a white women. I can guarantee you that a lot of these men have black nationalist sentiments today.
My question is what compels a black or white nationalist to date outside their race? Why do these people set such a double standard?
