BOSTON

A mixed-race white supremacist was sentenced to almost 22 years in prison Wednesday for plotting to blow up black and Jewish landmarks in Boston and Washington.

Prosecutors accused Leo Felton, 31, and his girlfriend, Erica Chase, 22, of trying "to ignite a racial holy war ... that would promote chaos among the races."

Felton, son of a black father and white mother, has said he blames his parents for "contaminating" him with black blood.

"I've committed crimes here, I'm not trying to say I'm a good person or a nice guy," Felton said before sentencing. "But not every thing that has been attributed to me in these cases are understandable by these simplistic formulas."

Felton and Chase were convicted in July of charges including conspiring to make a bomb, conspiring to make counterfeit bills and obstruction of justice. He was sentenced to 21 years and 10 months in prison. Chase's sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 31.

The couple was arrested in April 2001 when an off-duty police officer spotted Chase passing a counterfeit $20 bill. Investigators said Felton was making the phony money to help fund their plan and had already gathered most of the materials to make a bomb, including a 22.5-kilogram bag of ammonium nitrate, the fertilizer used in the Oklahoma City bombing.

Defense lawyers maintained the couple were being prosecuted for their beliefs and never planned to carry out violent acts.

Felton was a member of the White Order of Thule, and Chase belonged to the World Church of the Creator. They met after Chase corresponded with Felton while he was in prison for the attempted murder of a black taxi driver.

Sounds like they watched "Helter Skelter" a few too many times.

A mixed-race white supremacist...

Diversity has come full circle.

"Thule" is the Latin word for Iceland; interestingly though, it's derived from "thyle", a word meaning "to speak" in Old Norse.

[montag813]

Not terribly original.

I'll say1 White Supremacists just ain't what they used to be. Can't trust anybody these days. LOLOLOLOL

I've seen pictures of the guy. He's got "skin" tattooed on one side of his head & "head" on the other. When the news broke that his mom was white & his dad was black, he went ballistic cuz when he went back to the big house he couldn't play with his old friends. I think he wrote some nasty letters to the Boston Herald about it.

Halle Berry he ain't!

In one of the biggest days ever for alternate-universe news, here's a "mixed-race white supremacist" alert.

[Pharmboy]

Reminds me of Danny Balint, the Jewish neo-Nazi leader.

Oh, I give up! We're never going to get home...

Catspaw, this has to be one of the most outstanding examples of the results of breeding for *intelligence* I have ever seen. If 76 is borderline genious to these dimwits, what suppose you an IQ of minus 8 will do for their superhuman program?

[Stone Mountain]

They sure aren't! Why is it that those who claim White Supremacy seem to be least qualified for it? : )

[Nix 2]

We'll get there, jus' mighty darn slowwwwwlllllyyyyy.

See? First Limbaugh calls Daschle an obstructionist----and NOW THIS!!

Some proto-Nazi ideologues in prewar Germany had a group called the Thule Society where they discussed racial theories and the occult.

Alfred Rosenberg and other Nazi "theorists" belonged to this circle.

In their worldview, Thule was code for a perfect Aryan society beyond the sea - and they consciously used this archaic term for Iceland on purpose to symbolize it.

Anyone seen JustStopIt and Texoma?
