Sex, Lies and White Supremacy
The radical right has long been plagued by sexual scandal. Recent months are no exception
By Mark Potok

It's the dirty little secret of the white supremacist movement in America: Klan leaders with black girlfriends. A neo-Nazi caught with a black transvestite. A macho skinhead arrested while soliciting sex from Latino men. National Socialists affiliated with Satanists who promote sexual ceremonies involving children.

And now, the arrest of Kevin Alfred Strom, a key "intellectual" of the radical right, for possession of child pornography.

But that's not all.

Just days after the Jan. 4 arrest of the leader of the neo-Nazi National Vanguard group, news emerged that two weeks earlier another prominent National Vanguard member had been arrested for another sexual crime. Police in Brookline, Mass., jailed Matthew Downing, a 25-year-old activist and organizer with the Boston unit of the organization, on a felony charge of statutory rape.

Officials say that an acquaintance of Downing's, 17-year-old Jeremy Perea, got two teenage girls to come to Downing's Brookline home six days before Christmas. Once they were there, Perea allegedly told them he would not drive them home unless one had intercourse with Downing. They refused, but one of them, a 14-year-old, agreed to perform oral sex on the Aryan activist.

Within days of Downing's arrest, the Boston National Vanguard unit officially disbanded.


Better days: World Knights of the Ku Klux Klan leader Gordon Young, flanked by National Socialist Movement member Kevin Swift and an unidentified Klansman, was the center of attention at a rally in Sharpsburg, Md., last June. Seven months later, Young was arrested for allegedly forcing a 15-year-old girl to perform oral sex on him.

1. This goes waaay back..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._C._Stephenson

The story of David Curtiss (“Steve”) Stephenson, Grand Dragon (state leader) of the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana and in 22 other northern states

Publicly a Prohibitionist and a defender of “Protestant womanhood”, his spectacular 1925 trial for murder led to the downfall of the “Second Wave” of Klan activity. Stephenson was responsible for the abduction, forced intoxication, and sadistic rape of Madge Oberholtzer (who ran a state program to combat illiteracy), all leading to her death. Amongst other things, Stephenson had ferociously bitten her so many times that one man who saw her described her condition as having been “chewed by a cannibal”. Stephenson was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison on 25 November 1925

2. Forcing little girls to perform oral sex

Its right up there on the list of conservative values as desertion and lying, corporate crime and hypocrisy.
