Son of Stormfront Founder Reveals His Family Watches Tucker Carlson for Tips on ‘White Nationalist Talking Points’

by Tamar Auber | Mar 30th, 2019, 9:00 pm 1104

The son of Stormfront founder Don Black revealed on CNN on Saturday that his family watches Fox News’ Tucker Carlson for tips on white supremacist talking points. Derek Black grew up making white supremacist speeches and embracing the hate that fills Stormfront’s pages.

Then he went to college and his life changed.

He spoke about his family and his change with Van Jones including his thoughts about what is heard on Fox News.

Black’s comments about Carlson were made after Jones aired clips of Carlson and other Fox News personalities promoting, according to Jones, “anti-immigrant and anti-diversity views.”

“It’s very alarming to me to see at the highest levels, even anchors at Fox speaking that way,” Jones said after the clips ended. “Does it alarm you?”

Black said that indeed it did.

“It’s really, really alarming that my family watches Tucker Carlson show once and then watches it on the replay because they feel that he is making the white nationalist talking points better than they have and they’re trying to get some tips on how to advance it,” Black explained before noting it was change of community that prompted him to rethink his white supremacist beliefs.

That is truly disturbing, though can't say I'm terribly surprised AND that is even more disturbing.

Tucker reinforces racism and hard core RW values then distances himself when a crime is committed based on this hate. There seems to be an unlimited supply of disgusting Right Wing shills. One good thing about Tucker he is so obvious he convinces no one of anything, you need a predisposition to his hatred to be susceptible to such rhetoric.

But Little Fucker Carlson certainly hits the bullseye too.

To me, he’s just pathetic.

But he got his mug back on TV alright. Failed miserably out of CNN after Jon Stewart ate his breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack. Failed miserably out of MSNBC (where he DIDN’T belong in the first place) after several tries. Then wandered in the wilderness til he got the idea of starting his own little internet power base (The Daily Caller). And bless his little pointed head, he used that platform to get back on TV where he evidently thinks he’s entitled to dwell.

At least he finally jettisoned the obvious (and totally deliberate) affectation - that ridiculous bow tie.

Jon Stewart's public destruction of him and that day he defended his obnoxious racist reporter who interrupted then President of the United States, Barack Obama.
