Talk:George Burdi

Untitled

Just for the record:

Several of my comrades know Mr Burdi and it is incorrect to refer to him as an "anti-racist". A "closeted racist" would probably be a better term -- or, really, someone who agrees with the principles of white activism but is so afraid of the Jew that he overcompensates in his public pretension to opposition to racism.

In other words, all opposition to racism is just a big fraud perpetrated by the Jew, and Burdi is just another brand name attached to it.

Someone, presumably Burdi himself, wrote the following in the article:

George Burdi responds - Regarding this statement: "In 2001, Burdi sold Resistance Records to William Luther Pierce of the National Alliance for $250,000 and left the white power movement due to disillusionment." This is factually incorrect. In 1997, I left the movement. By 1998, I was engaged to my present wife. At that time, I cut all financial ties to Resistance Records, and signed over my shares in the corporation to one of my partners without payment. This partner sold the company to Willis Carto of California, who in turn sold the business a couple of years later to the National Alliance. I saw not a dime from this transaction, nor can I confirm the amount it was sold for.

This statement needs a source or some kind of backup evidence. --Mista-X 18:25, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

"Criticism," the subsection of "Renouncement..."

is weakly written and unsourced. If not improved, maybe it should be retired: everybody can see why anti-racists might reasonably keep their distance (although I'm almost more suspicious of the assertion he hasn't apologized to anyone at all - really? is there a positive source that he hasn't?) That the "pro-racist community" might have something negative to say is so obvious as to bear no mention at all, unless there's some substantial material content to what they've said (threats?)...

It should stay, do a search on www.google.com using that paragraph, you will find the sources. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 10:36, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

No you won't, even more broadly. +gimmickry +george-burdi only seems to get the same page Wikipedia and Wikipedia mirrors. That's not a source. And +gimmick +george-burdi nothing germane (even on Google Groups!). Nor can I readily find a source that +george-burdi either +apologized, or didn't. Removed as unsourced and unverifiable. I'd of course entirely welcome sourced and noteworthy information on criticisms of Burdi post-conversion. Samaritan 16:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure criticism from anti-racist organizations on Burdi not appologizing can be found. --Mista-X 16:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

He never "apologized" as he asserts that he feels "White people" are oppressed and that it would be the height of hypocrisy for him to now condemn entirely the movement he once led. In an interview with National Vanguard he says to the white power folk "You are not crazy and have valid concerns." He isn't an anti racist, just no longer racist himself. Look it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.37.174 (talk) 02:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Alicia Reckzin

Those who have the time and inclination may wish to find sources regarding the fact that Reckzin abandoned the Anti-Racist Action and allegedly became a white supremacist herself. I believe this has been mentioned in ARA blogs, but whether those would be considered reliable to be referenced here, I don't know. Laval (talk) 03:05, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, she liked to play switcharoo. She was always a bit of an attention whore, the only ARA member to appear on Hearts of Hate. And she admitted that she always had a thing for nazi meat. http://anti-racistcanada.blogspot.ca/2009/01/requiem-for-reckzin.html Mista-X (talk) 04:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Armenian

"Born in 1970 to Armenian immigrants"

Burdi is an Italian surname. He also grew up in an Italian part of Toronto and looks entirely Italian/European and no part Arminoid. Is there a source for this?
