A man knocked unconscious by a local anti-racist group says he’s not a Nazi, and he might sue the group for slander.

Willis, who declined to give his last name, was targeted by Anti-Racist Action (ARA), which distributed pamphlets at Millennium skate park, claiming he was a recruiter for the Aryan Guard, a racist gang. Willis says he has never been a member of the Guard. When he confronted ARA about the pamphlet, a fight ensued, and he was knocked out.

While Willis says he was a neo-Nazi six years ago and is “proud to be white,” he says he is against racism, segregation and Nazism. He says his only connection to the Aryan Guard is that a friend happens to be a member of the group, and also that he attended a white-pride rally in March of this year.

He’s considering suing ARA for slandering him in its pamphlets. A lawsuit would be difficult, he says, since ARA is not a registered organization and all but one of its members have kept their identities secret.
