Ex-KKK leader’s child comes out as transgender in new memoir
R. Derek Black, the child of Stormfront founder Don Black and a close family friend of David Duke, documents their journey from white nationalism to antiracism.

As a child, Black came out to the world as a white nationalist on the syndicated daytime talk program “The Jenny Jones Show” in 1999. Then, while trying to hide their white nationalist credentials as a college student roughly a decade later, Black was outed in a student-run online forum. In 2013, Black came out yet again: In an article published by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Black condemned white supremacy and their famous family’s ideology and came out as an antiracist.
Now, in the memoir “The Klansman’s Son,” the 35-year-old child of former Ku Klux Klan leader Don Black and a close family friend of the notorious former KKK grand wizard David Duke is coming out as transgender.
In a phone call with NBC News, Don Black described the rift between himself and his child as “devastating.”
“All of my experiences with him were the most rewarding of my life, which made it particularly horrible,” Don Black said through tears, misgendering R. Derek Black. “Because we did go everywhere together.”
There has to be some sort of profound psychological explanation for this. Perhaps it's the common denominator of congenital autism which causes identity disturbance and different potential ways of responding to it.
The father responded through the reassuring ideology of white nationalism, giving him a sense of belonging and purpose in an alienating world; whereas the son, who dealt with the mortifying fallout of intense social rejection from his peers in college due to his father's infamy, responded with transgenderism -- a way of falling in love with himself and his own physical features in a way that's socially acceptable (unlike racism).
It is ironic that whereas white nationalism seeks to promote fertility, transgenderism castrates. The latter is like the ultimate rebellion against the father.
Also, if race is to be considered a "social construct" and thus a ridiculous basis for identity, then what the hell is transgenderism?
