Addie Morfoot Contributor In Havana Marking’s documentary “Undercover: Exposing the Far Right,” investigators from the organization Hope Not Hate use hidden cameras and fieldwork to track down and expose members of violent far-right extremist groups in the U.K.

and the U.S. One of those members is American Holocaust denier Mark Weber who is secretly recorded in the film telling a crowd of white men that, “The question every American should ask himself is can whites and Blacks live in America in the same society on the basis of equality and mutual respect?

Liberals would say, ‘Well, of course, or we should.’ Conservatives say, ‘Well, it’s a good idea, but it’s going to take time until we reach that.’ The answer is no.

It’s not going to happen. Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln both grappled with this question, and each of them concluded that it’s not going to happen and the only answer is to remove Blacks from North America.” The film centers on Patrik Hermansson, a senior researcher who infiltrated the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, and journalist Harry Shukman, who infiltrated far-right movements beginning in 2023 under Hermansson’s guidance.
