Convicted White Supremacist is Half Black
From staff and wire reports
Posted July 29, 2002 (Boston) -- A White supremacist who is half Black and his girlfriend were found guilty Friday of plotting to blow up Black and Jewish landmarks in Boston and across the country in an effort to start a "racial holy war."
Leo V. Felton, 31, and Erica Chase, 22, were convicted of conspiring to make a bomb, conspiring to make counterfeit bills, obstruction of justice, conspiring to obstruct justice and explosives violations.
Police arrested the couple in April 2001 on counterfeit charges after Chase tried to use a phony $20 that Felton made on a home computer at a Boston Dunkin' Donuts. After searching their apartment, police found books on terrorism and bomb-making materials, including a 50-pound bag of ammonium nitrate, the fertilizer used in the Oklahoma City bombing.
"Their plan was to ignite a racial holy war... that would promote chaos among the races," prosecutor Emily Schulman told the jury.
Felton, is the son of a White mother and Black father, who worked as civil rights activists. He was also convicted of bank robbery and conspiracy to commit bank robbery. A member of the White Order of Thule, he faces at least 35 years in prison.
Chase, a member of the World Church of the Creator, faces a minimum of eight years.

REGARDLESS OF HIS BLOOD, IN MY BOOK HE IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST. AS HISTORY DICTATES, IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE WHITE IN HIM THAT MAKES HIM SUCH A RACIST FOOL.

Maybe him and his mother didn't get the love they needed from his father, so he hates his father, who is a civil rights activist, and everything he stands for.

He obviously did not inherit the necessary genes to be black because if he did he would know he is part of the struggle(as black people)and to deny his black half makes him ignorant as well.
