Challenge accepted! I will read the article later and I already know I will like the story. I've seen many movies and read books and stories of extremists reforming. Edward Norton was great in American History X. There are a couple of Muslim ex radicals I follow on Twitter.
Now to the main point here, and it's sad really because it's a distortion of reality. Guesser is using this article not to bridge, but divide. To insult. For bad, not for good.
No one here currently is even close to having "White Nationalist" views. There were one or two in the past (rot in hell sd2). Yes, many here have biases, even prejudices. But again, no one here is that extreme. The use of this article as lighter fluid is a reflection of the person who posted it. His first two words above are, "Inspiring story." Should have let it go from there but of course.....
I posted this awhile back. I hoped for some responses and opinions but was not surprised that none were forthcoming. Unlike Guesser though when I post something in this vein I let others give their opinions before I start shooting bullets in advance:
