Frazier Glenn Miller apparently garnished his racism with a 1980s hookup with black male prostitute

Oftentimes the most vocal proselytizers are the worst hypocrites. 

The hypocrisy in racism is inherent in any form it takes, but Frazier Glenn Miller, the accused killer of three people at Overland Park Jewish centers on April 13, seemed to have taken his brand of disingenuousness further than most of his partners in discrimination.

ABC News on Thursday unearthed an interesting, if not too unsurprising, event in Miller’s checkered past: North Carolina cops in the 1980s caught the founder of the Ku Klux Klan chapter there in the middle of a tryst with a black male prostitute in drag in the backseat of a car.

Apparently, there’s no public record of the arrest, and Miller wasn’t charged with a crime, but ABC tracked down a former federal prosecutor who had seen a police report detailing Miller’s encounter.

“It was pretty shocking,” says Douglas McCullough, the former prosecutor, according to ABC, “because of his personal stances that he had taken and what he was now accused of engaging in.”

The ABC report goes on to say how Miller tried to explain away the event to Southern Poverty Law Center by saying he simply tried to lure the prostitute before beating him up.

That all happened before Miller was arrested in 1987 for trying to incite a race war. Miller at the time was one of the loudest racists, having organized a chapter of the KKK in North Carolina and of the White Patriot Party. He frequently denounced Jews and blacks, in particular, and gays.

Federal authorities tracked Miller down in Ozark, Missouri, and arrested him. Miller wasn’t too keen on spending much time in prison, so he lightened up on his promises of violence and decided to snitch on his fellow white supremacists in return for a lenient sentence. Instead of a possible 20 years in prison, he spent three years in the hoosegow, even though his testimony couldn’t deliver convictions against anyone.

The deal he cut with prosecutors hurt Miller’s standing among racists around the country, some of whom to this day continue to tease him on a hate-filled Internet message board at Vanguard News Network, where Miller has more than 12,000 posts to his name.

Miller received protection and a new identity from the feds when he left prison in 1990, which is why he’s sometimes referred to as Frazier Glenn Cross. But Miller reassumed his old name when he ran for public office in Missouri a few times in the aughts, each time having to do so as a write-in candidate because none of the established parties would claim him.
