David Duke is a white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan organizer who promotes “white nationalism” and anti-Semitic views. He has had some political success, particularly in Louisiana, and has a following in Europe and Islamic extremist countries. Duke denies the Holocaust and claims that Jews control the world. He continues to promote his views through webcasts and books, including his infamous autobiography My Awakening. Despite criticism, his views have an audience, with over 500,000 copies of his book sold.
David Duke is a white supremacist, Nazi sympathizer, former organizer of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and anti-Semite. He maintains power in the media and on the Internet while defending what he calls “white rights,” “white separatism,” or “white nationalism.” He believes that the United States is under the influence of Jewish leaders, that blacks and other people of color denigrate the United States, and is famous for his denials of the impact of the Holocaust.
In his political career, he made a successful run as a member of the Louisiana state legislature in 1989, despite protests from other prominent Republicans such as former presidents George Bush senior and Ronald Reagan. In unsuccessful bids for Governor of Louisiana, the United States Senate, and the presidency, David Duke garnered a number of votes, particularly from white Louisiana residents.
The number of votes cast for Duke in his now defunct political career worries many, especially since Duke is labeled by the Anti Defamation League as one of the highest profile white supremacists in the United States. He also has a following in Europe and in Islamic extremist countries. This sequel mostly supports his statements about Holocaust denial and his claim that Jews are controlling the world or attempting to.
David Duke was born in 1950 and joined the Ku Klux Klan at the age of seventeen. He became known at Louisiana State University for organizing Hitler’s birthday celebrations, and when he graduated in 1974, he also created the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He was able to significantly change the Klan by suggesting that the group would be better off as a corporate organization than a covert “undercover” organization, a suggestion that was followed through.
Duke has withdrawn from attempts to run for political office, but continues to be vocal about the idea of ”white separatism” and his hatred for the state of Israel. He webcasts through his personal website and has published several books and articles including the infamous 1988 autobiography My Awakening: A Path to Racial Understanding. David Duke declares that he is not an anti-Semite or a racist, but repeatedly states that Israel is essentially a Nazi state and that Israel’s teachings promote Jewish supremacy. In 2007, Duke released an updated edition of the book.
In 2006, Duke, who holds a doctorate, participated in the “Holocaust Review” held in Tehran and organized by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran. She continues to express Holocaust denial and denigration of the Jewish state of Israel and has developed a significant following in many countries formerly part of the Soviet Union. It is helpful to remember when US citizens are concerned about Islamo-fascism that these views are not limited to Islam. David Duke is a US citizen, undoubtedly a fascist, and continues to influence many, and although he is often criticized, it is estimated that over 500,000 copies of My Awakening have been sold, suggesting that his views have an audience.
