Is that you Derek? or is this just one of his skinhead lackeys?

"Not only was David Duke grooming him to sort of be his protege, but sort of much scarier and probably more powerful, Derek saw himself the same way."
Derek is Derek Black, and if there were a royal family of white supremacy, he was its fresh-faced crown prince.
His father is Don Black, the founder of the virulently racist website Stormfront. His godfather is David Duke, the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. And Derek's inoffensive presentation of his white nationalism proved potent.
"One of Derek's most lasting and damaging impacts on this white nationalist movement is that he convinced his father to scrub Stormfront of all racial slurs, all Nazi insignia," said The Post's Eli Saslow.
