"'White Lives Matter' Stages Armed Protest Outside NAACP Headquarters"

More: http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/white_lives_matter_group_stages_armed_protest_outside_naacp_headquarters

"White Lives Matter" members waving Confederate flags, bearing firearms and yelling through a bullhorn staged a rally outside the NAACP headquarters in Houston on Sunday.

White Lives Matter member Scott Lacy told Click2Houston.com that group chose the location because the NAACP is "one of the most racist groups in America."

Lacy also happens to be a member of the Aryan Rennaissance Society, a Texas-based neo-Nazi group that has described itself as "the leading force behind the WLM movement," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center:

The ARS describes itself as a "network of dedicated White Separatists diligently striving to impart a New Racial Consciousness to Aryankind.” It hopes to create “an Aryan oligarchy based on genetic aristocracy” to “enhance the Race.” The overall idea, ARS says, is to protect threatened white people from genocide and the “bastardization of the white race” through interbreeding.


I knew somebody would pull this. It was merely a matter of when.

It seems like every Trump supporter I have run into the past six months have been racist and have not been ashamed to admit they are racist either

In the third grade - for five minutes - when I stood next to him in the lunch line.

He runs around telling everyone about his 'black friend' and that's me!

That's usually what the right wingers claim when the left protests.

Ask them this: "What does being white deny you from having?"

and when you bring up white people getting welfare and other govt benefits they will go into the "but we don't make it a lifestyle" and other racist excuses and bs.
