Atheist Race Traitor? White Nationalists Lash Out at Larry Darby

Monday June 5, 2006
The saga of Larry Darby, an atheist who has come out of the closet as a White Supremacist, racist, and Holocaust Denier, appears to have degenerated from tragedy into farce. Yes, I'm sure that people are surprised that it could get any worse, but it has: Darby's erstwhile White Supremacist supporters have discovered that he has two bi-racial children and this has many of them incensed.

Nicole Nichols writes at Citizens Against Hate:

As accolades were being sung by the racist right over the fact that they now had someone to endorse, there were a few who wanted to look a little deeper into Darby’s background and they came up with a real winner. It seems that for all of his glib political talk about “racial awareness,” and such, Mr. Darby has two daughters by a Chinese wife. That’s right - for all practical purposes, Larry Darby is one of the most hated, a “race traitor.” [...]

When Wesley Sitton broke the news of Darby’s miscegenation on Stormfront the debate took off like a wildfire. A number of posters were absolutely outraged and began their posturing for the forum standing firm on the movement’s dislike of “race traitors.” Patriot T from Jacksonville, Florida had this to offer, “I couldn’t agree more. We have got to stop making excuses or lowering the bar, just because we agree with some of a persons views. To me it is same as AmRen allowing jew members. There is no such thing as a little bit pregnant. You are either 100% with us, or you’re not.”

BaltNA88 says: “There is no excuse to race mix. There are mistakes that people make that are unforgivable. Race mixing is one of them.” And later adds… “It’s very simple. Larry Darby is a filthy race traitor. He should be shunned not condoned for his treasonous behaivor.”

How is it that Larry Darby can espouse such vile, racist nonsense despite having engaged in what his own ideology labels “miscegenation”? Does he regard it as nothing more than a “youthful indiscretion”? Although there is no reason to think that Larry Darby doesn’t really believe all the things he is saying, it’s possible that he is only hyping them in order to get attention — both media attention and supportive attention from White Nationalists. Now, though, the latter may dissipate because most aren’t forgiving of this sort of “indiscretion” (race mixing is one of their most serious “sins”) and will regard Darby as someone who only pretended to agree with them in order to get their support.

Not everyone is abandoning Larry Darby, though. Perhaps the most prominent supporter is April Gaede, mother of the Lynx and Lamb Gaede who comprise the neo-Nazi, White Nationalist singing group “Prussian Blue.” April Gaede already appears to have conflicts with other White Nationalists and her stand in defense of Darby isn't winning her any more friends.

White Supremacist site Movement Frauds Exposed says:

April Gaede, the mother and exploiter of the talentless White Power twin-singing duo Prussian Blue, is alive and spewing on the Stormfront message board; furiously defending a race traitor who is the proud Father of two half-Chinese kids. The race traitor April is defending- who is posing as a White Nationalist against illegal immigration- happens to be Larry Darby; a Democrat running for the position of Attorney General in Alabama who was temporarily conned into Kevin Strom’s National Scamguard.

Nicole Nichols quotes some of April Gaede’s comments:

“White men with Chinese wives is a lesson to us about how feminism has created a hostile environment for men who want to be married to a woman that will stay home to raise her children and treat him like the head of the household. Unfortunatly [sic] many White men choose Asian wives with the hopes that they will get a wife who is not a materialistic feminist ballbasher like so many White women have become these days.”

Further, April seems to believe that such mistakes as race-mixing can be atoned for: “I am not making excuses for Darby or for my friend. It was a huge error and it was a disaster for us that these two highly intelligent men didn’t [sic] find White women to create intelligent White children. But these are reasons why it happened that shouldn’t[sic] be forgotton [sic] or ignored. And I see no reason now that they cannot make up for thier [sic]mistakes by working for our cause.”

This is the same woman who, in an interview, claimed that should her daughters go outside of their race they would be disowned - she would never want to see them again.

So, these are the people Larry Darby would call “friends” when they thought he was totally behind their racist, nationalist ideology. Now that he has been revealed as guilty of one of their most serious, and even unforgivable, sins, they aren’t so friendly anymore. That’s a true test of just how much value their “friendship” ever really had. Personal relationships and personal ethics mean nothing to such people — all that matters is ideology. So long as Larry Darby could be seen as promoting that ideology, he was a friend to be lauded. Once he could be seen as contradicting that ideology, he became an enemy to be attacked — and attacked with all the same venom and bile as he and they used against their racial enemies before.

This is a pathetic situation involving a pathetic man and an even more pathetic movement. It reveals just how hollow they all are: Larry Darby is a hollow man for not having an agenda or plan outside of racist slogans and White Nationalism is a hollow movement that will turn on its own members as soon as the opportunity arises. The fact that such hollowness does not mean that they can never be a threat to liberty shows that we should regard them some wariness; the fact that they are so hollow also means, however, that we should also regard them with pity.

Thanks to everyone who keeps sending me links related to this story. I really appreciate it!

PUNDITS WON’T GET LAST WORD

The pundits will be having a “field-day” after the Alabama political-primary,
gloating about how a “white-supremacist” was swamped at the polls. But,
they will not have the last word, because a funny thing happened on the way
to the voting booth. Larry Darby, running in the Democratic-primary for
Attorney-General, has a Chinese wife and two Oriental children. He, also,
is an extremely obese, self-declared atheist, who says he wants to legalize
marijuana. Until the Warren Supreme Court purported to “legalize”
miscegenation, mixed-marriage was illegal. Last year, Alabamians even
voted to retain segregation-requirements in their state-constitution.

The whole of the fascist movement in North America is riddled by this behavior. That’s because the ‘movement’ is really just a collection of attention-seeking media whores who want to be the next Furher, so inevitably they can’t stop themselves from engaging in this self-destructive behavior. This makes it so much easier for us antifas when we don’t even need to do anything for them to implode (plus, it makes for great entertainment).

We’re more worried about mainstream conservatives who are skillful at manipulating far right talking points in order to get those useful idiots from Stormfront, National Vanguard and the MinuteMen into protecting the interests of international capital. Like Coulter, Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs and the Fox News crowd.

I am glad there are never ever any liberal, antiracist media-whores! I admit that there within our ranks media-whores, poseurs, sickos, etc, but don’t we find such people everywhere?
