kiaa"I hate those black rats. And anyone who doesn't have Aryan blood". You'd seldom hear such words from a black man, right? It's unthinkable even. In the 70s, black criminalist Ron Stallworth managed to sneak into the mighty KKK, and his testament became the basis for the BlacKkKlansman movie, Oscar winner in 2019.
Can't say if black activist James Hart Stern was inspired by that movie, but it's clear that his story is also worth being filmed. Because, as we learned last week, he managed to become chairman of one of the biggest neo-Nazi groups in the US, the National Socialist Movement (it's got nothing to do with socialism, I suppose you've guessed by now).
The NSM is mostly known for its staunch antisemitism and Hitler worshiping. Their annual summits feature visitors in Nazi uniforms, wearing the swastika on their sleeves and all that.
