Neo-Nazi…
This is a story of when being a Neo-Nazi goes INCREDIBLY wrong!
Racism
For 40 years, Kevin Wilshaw was a member of the far-right National Front Neo-Nazi group based in the United Kingdom. For 40 years, Wilshaw spent much of his time spewing hate toward Jews and homosexuals. Aside from the very obvious problem of hating someone based solely on their ethnicity, religious affiliation, or sexual orientation, the now 58-year-old Wilshaw’s professed hatred of Gays and Jews was strange for 2 additional reasons: he himself is Jewish — and gay!
After spending years hating people who are exactly like him, Wilshaw said he didn’t realize what he was doing was wrong until he experienced the group’s prejudice and bigotry himself.
“On one or two occasions in the recent past, I’ve actually been the recipient of the very hatred of the people I want to belong to,” Wilshaw said. “If you’re gay, it is acceptable in society, but with these group of people, it’s not acceptable. And I found on one or two occasions when I was suspected of being gay, I was subjected to abuse.”
DUH! Big surprise, huh???
Racism
Earlier this year, Wilshaw quit the ultra-right Neo-Nazi movement — but only because it started to affect him.
“It’s a terribly selfish thing to say, but it’s true. I saw people being abused, shouted at, spat at in the street ― it’s not until it’s directed at you that you suddenly realize that what you’re doing is wrong,” he said. “You have other members leading National Front who are overtly gay. And nobody could see the contradiction of it, that you have an overtly gay person leading a homophobic organization, makes no sense.”
Wilshaw’s change of heart occurred only after he was arrested in March for committing “online race hate offenses.” However, he now says he feels “appallingly guilty” for his past.
“I really do feel guilty,” he said. “Not only that, this is also a barrier to me having a relationship with my own family, and I want to get rid of it, it’s too much of a weight.”
Now that he has denounced the National Front and other Neo-Nazi style white supremacist movements, Wilshaw hopes to turn over a new leaf in his life.
“I want to do some damage as well, not to ordinary people but the people who are propagating this kind of rubbish ― want to hurt them, show what it’s like for those who are living a lie and be on the receiving end of this type of propaganda,” he said. “I want to hurt them.”

So he didn’t know bashing gays and jews was wrong until it happen to him? LOL ok then.
