David Duke:
White Revolution on the Internet
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like Don Black, David Duke first became an active racist as a teen-ager. Soon
after, as a student at Louisiana State University, he founded the neo-Nazi
group White Youth Alliance. After his graduation, Duke founded the Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan and launched a publicity blitz that boosted its membership.
Duke tried to move the Klan into the mainstream, encouraging his Klansmen
to "get out of the cow pasture and into hotel meeting rooms." Heeding his own
advice, Duke got himself on network television, where he articulated a subtle
brand of racism, skillfully exploiting legitimate issues such as illegal
immigration, affirmative action and court-ordered busing as a vehicle for
voicing his white supremacist propaganda. Couching his bigotry in pseudo-
scientific and sociological terms, Duke attracted audiences with his moderate-
sounding approach, leading critical journalists to describe his views
as "rhinestone racism" and "button-down terror."
Duke's days as a Klan leader ended abruptly in 1980, after he was accused of
trying to sell his group's membership list. Duke left the Klan to establish and
head the National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP),
which he himself confirmed was simply a Klan without robes. Though Duke shed
his official role in the NAAWP when he became more politically active, he
continued to maintain ties to the group and its agenda continued to parallel
his.
Running as a Republican, Duke won a Louisiana State Legislature seat in January
1989, despite scrutiny and opposition from national Republican leaders. While
in office, he continued to sell neo-Nazi literature. While claiming that he had
repudiated racism, Duke made statements such as "Jews David Duke has embraced

are trying to destroy all other cultures." Duke won 43.5 percent of the vote in
an unsuccessful 1990 U.S. Senate race and 700,000 votes in a 1991 race for the
governorship of Louisiana.
After an unsuccessful Presidential bid in 1992, Duke retreated from the
political arena but continued to concentrate on raising his media profile. He
tried his luck as a radio talk show host in 1993, but his controversial
program, the "David Duke Conservative Hotline," proved unpopular. Two years
after Duke failed to raise the $7,000 needed to continue broadcasting his
program, he established The David Duke Report Online, a less costly venue for
disseminating his views.
