Appearing in a 2009 documentary, former Manson follower Catherine Share said the following:
When the Beatles' White Album came out, Charlie listened to it over and over and over and over again. He was quite certain that the Beatles had tapped in to his spirit, the truth—that everything was gonna come down and the black man was going to rise. It wasn't that Charlie listened to the White Album and started following what he thought the Beatles were saying. It was the other way around. He thought that the Beatles were talking about what he had been expounding for years. Every single song on the White Album, he felt that they were singing about us. The song 'Helter Skelter'—he was interpreting that to mean the blacks were gonna go up and the whites were gonna go down.
Ok, yes, sure. He wanted to set off a race war with a series of high profile killings that he planned to pin on minorities. He believed that this race war was inevitable and that he was simply launching it on his terms. And he came to this realization by repeatedly ingested music from a bunch of British Libs. Fine. I'll concede that point.
But that doesn't technically make him a white nationalist, because he never explicitly says "I am a white nationalist". And even if he did maybe he was joking? Who can say. Literally nobody. Nobody can say anything about anyone's intent ever.
