Comments on: The Strange Story of Leo Felton http://whiteprivilege.com/2003/05/27/the-strange-story-of-leo-felton/ Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity. Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:20:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1.3 by: Mika http://whiteprivilege.com/2003/05/27/the-strange-story-of-leo-felton/#comment-574 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 17:59:59 +0000 http://whiteprivilege.com/2003/05/27/the-strange-story-of-leo-felton/#comment-574 WOW... What an interesting article. As a gang intelligence officer, I am now tempted to look more closely at the facial features and lineage of offenders, rather than their tatoos and literature. I wonder how many offenders are really crossing over in order to fit in and conceal who they really are. I am not compelled to feel any sympathy for Mr. Felton, after all, he is still a common criminal who had choices. Rather than taking the road he took, he could have gone in so many other directions and as intelligent as he seems to be, he could have help many other "beige" people along the way. His lineage was never fractured (both parents were human, I presume), only his way of thinking. If I read correctly, his father was on his side through much of his youth. He never stopped to consider that. I work in the prison invironment that he lives in and although there is a big difference, it is really easy to get an eskewed view of humanity. But what one has to keep in mind is the fact that the vast and overwhelming majority of people in jail be it black, white or anything in between have one thing in common. THEY ARE ALL GUILTY! So it is always odd and fascinating to me to see offenders align themselves to form group with one another based on anything to include skin color. After all, who can you really trust? A thief will steal from a thief, a murderer will still kill a murderer and there will always be one rat that will rat out the whole pack of vermin. I do not see the survival in that.

I do not understand why people feel that their race is superior to another. Everyone is equal. There should not be a racial classification, but just the fact we are all human beings and God's children. After reading about Leo, I have more understanding how a person could hate someone based on the color of their skin. I still do not agree with his ideas, but I have some empathy for him. He did have a hard and troubled life, but he still should have not let himself become so hateful. I know that many White Power people are brought up in these outragous ideas, but one should know right from wrong. It's sad that so many peole have died for this cause and the world still has people believing one race is superior to another. This article was very mind opening. I feel bad for Leo and others like him. Hopefully one day the world can correct all the unrational ideas, but until then we all have to try and educated others in how harmful these ideas can be.

I happened to look at "American History X and decided to lookup related topics on the Internet. This is where I found Leo Felton's story. I see this situation as the fault of the History of Our Government using race as a priority to identify people.(Cause and Effect) Everything is propaganda to divide the people of our Country,not the whiteman's country, but the American People's Country. It is very clear to me that Leo Felton is a victim of this whiteman's propaganda. Another example of confusion is Jesus was a Jew so how do the white hate groups explain that. Hate is a bad thing!!! For any race of people. Like good and bad which is not the same as black and white but wrong and right. Leo Felton just repent for your sins and ask God through His Son Jesus Christ to lead and guide you through to a victory with life. Defind the word human, that is what all races are humans who are victims of propaganda of their Governmental leadership in the covert and often overt process of communication. Find yourself just as we all (humans) have too before that final day of judgement. With love form your brother in Christ Michael Lynn Fergins Well, this is one of the most interesting situations that I have come across in a long time.

That fact is something that I respect. thanks. well, Im not a racist man but Im very interested about the ways of the thoughts of the man, and that case caught my attention.. you can take him as a symply son of a bitch (easy way) or as a man who, right or wrong, defenses his convictions (I repeat: right or wrong) till the end.

I never thought I'd run into a site, such as this. Opinions that are highly regarded and evaluated are put at a level of understanding that anyone with an open mind can appreciate at face value. This is how it is, and everyone can accept it or find a way to live with it. Anyone with an open-mind will be able to relate and appreciate this type of journalism. The story of Leo Felton was assuring in a manner that confirms your past will catch up to you, "to your own self be true". I agree with the concept of race being an individual idea, it gives cause to many of peoples behavior. I don't like using my race card, it's like crying after losing an argument, and that is shameful and unnecessary to me. Taking responsibility of your own actions shows strength and character, someone that acknowledges that he/she has choices in life and takes them, along with the good and bad and doesn't cower behind their race card. Your site, so far, has allowed me to see all the sides, Thank you! All I can say is WOW! I never thought I’d run into a site, such as this.

If his father and mother stayed togethor, he would have been raised by two loving parents, regardless of their race. As to his transformation into white supremacy, I wonder if that was an action more designed to stay alive in prison than to just belong to a 'group'. There are black gangs and there are white gangs and there are hispanic gangs, and if you are not associated with someone, you are a target for any of them.
