Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead

This was a fantastic speech! Frank Meeink spoke about his descent into the Aryan brotherhood. I always wondered how someone came to have so much hate for people of other races and ethnicity's. He was in a big way a victim of circumstance. He was introduced to the neo-nazi way of life so early in his life that he simply believed what he was told by his peers. He became so well known and powerful within the brotherhood simply because of his intelligence, and it's that same intelligence and later life experiences that led him to leave the brotherhood. Through his life, he met so many great people of different cultures that he couldn't hate them for the color of there skin anymore. He overcame hate and addiction making you believe anything is possible. His story is a great one! I can't wait to read his book!

  1. Josh I'm so jealous you got to see this! I had a conflict that night so I couldn't attend but from what I heard it was great. Maybe I'll have to borrow that book from you sometime.
