Paging Dr. Franz Fanon! Racism and psychosis at work
by Liza Sabater
This is one of the saddest pieces of news I've read in a long time : The New York Times > National > Behind the Why of a Rampage, Loner With a Taste for Nazism. That a Chippewa teenager would call himself "NativeNazi" because there were not enough pure-blood Peoples, it's just beyond belief. It just fills me with sorrow. Then again, at Mixed Media Watch - tracking media representations of mixed people | White-supremacy record label closes up shop, we find out the close down was attributed to the fact one of the co-owners had a Mexican mother. No wonder he was dubbed "the well tanned skinhead".
Although the F.B.I. said it could not confirm the authenticity of the Web postings, someone who identified himself as Jeff Weise, a high school student living on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, posted 34 messages on a neo-Nazi Web forum last year, expressing admiration for Hitler and frustration at the lack of racial purity and authentic racial pride in his community. He used the handles Todesengel, meaning "angel of death" in German, and NativeNazi on the Libertarian National Socialist Green Party's Web forum. The forum has a swastika on a green flag on its homepage and promotes itself as an alternative to white-supremacist sites, a place where people of all races are welcome as long as they oppose racial mixing.
