Duke has always peppered reasonable arguments in with his more unpopular ones to make him more palatable. I think he lives or teaches in the Ukraine now and is re-married to a hot 20-something blonde blue-eyed Russian.
Some interesting tidbits:
1) He wrote a book titled African Atto, written under the name Mohammed X. The book advises blacks on how to fight against their white oppressors. The book describes martial arts techniques and advises blacks to yell "hootoo" when confronting whites, in order to scare them, and to "rid the body of bad air." The book was written to help the Klan identify "radical" African-Americans, who would buy the book
2) Using the pseudonym Dorothy Vanderbilt, Duke published a self-help book for women, titled Finders-Keepers, in 1976. The book dispenses advice on sex and makeup.
3) Duke was charged for what was described by prosecutors as a six-year scheme to dupe thousands of his followers by asking for donations. David Duke pleaded guilty to tax evasion and mail fraud in December 2002. Four months later, Duke was sentenced to 15 months in prison.
4) In an attempt to run for president, came in last in the primary, winning 4% of the vote in his home state. Later running on an independent ticket, he won 1% of the vote in his home state.
