Summary of Eli Saslow's Rising Out of Hatred

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Klansmen and neo-Nazis met in Memphis in 2008. Derek Black, then 19, was the community college student who started a live radio broadcast of the event for the online radio station he founded.

#2 Derek Black, the son of Don Black, a former KKK leader, was a speaker at the conference. He was polite and articulate, but never used racist slurs. He spoke about what he believed to be the facts of racial science and immigration.

#3 Derek, the radio host, spoke about how white people were tired of being called racist and were looking for a political party that represented their interests. He spoke about how he had won a Republican committeeman position in Palm Beach County, Florida, by campaigning door to door with no experience.

#4 Don had been relying on his only child, Derek, more than ever lately. He had helped manage the growing business of Stormfront, which had crashed under the weight of 120,000 users on the night of Obama’s election to the presidency. Derek had begun to make more salient points than his father.
