A billboard in Harrison, Arkansas, is promoting “whiteprideradio.com” and is being paid for by a group formerly known as the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Knights Party national director Thom Robb told The Harrison Daily Times the group is leasing the space for a year. Robb was national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which The Southern Poverty Law Center says Robb renamed the Knights Party.

The billboard shows a young white girl holding a puppy next and reads, “It’s NOT Racist to (love) Your People,” with a heart image replacing the word love. It refers passersby to www.whiteprideradio.com, which redirects Internet users to wwww.kkkradio.com.

The website promotes a quote in its banner, “My family LOVES it! There are shows for ALL of us – Even the Kids!” and includes a schedule for radio programs throughout the day.
