In the latest Southern Poverty Law Center (SLPC) Intelligence Report, the article Children of Hate: Fighting Against Racist Parents, interviews with three people who grew up learning to hate are featured. The interviews include a woman who, while a teenager, drove her father to Klan meetings, the daughter of one of the most powerful Klansmen during the civil rights movement, and a teenager who renounced his white nationalist father.
These stories are important and relevant for those living in Orange County, the seeming epicenter of the birther/tea bagger movement. When you read these stories, you see that the parents may be ignorant, but thankfully, there seems to be no genetic link and their kids don't pick up their traits.
