Across Virginia people are putting up flyers calling on residents to 'pray for white Americans

Police in Virginia are investigating white supremacist flyers that are appearing near local residential homes, according to Newsweek.

The flyers are affiliated with North Carolina's Ku Klux Klan chapter, the Loyal White Knights, according to the report.

In a Facebook post, the New Kent County Sheriff's office reported that residents discovered the flyers near or in their mailboxes. The flyer was found in a plastic ziplock bag filled with bird seeds.

The flyer states "100% Americanism" and to "pray for white Americans in 2020."

Similar flyers appeared in Norfolk, Virginia, and in West Virginia last month, according to WVNSTV.

Through no fault of my own, I've probably benefitted from my position in American society. I know I have an unfair privilege.

So, why do I need to pray for other white people of privilege? They don't need my prayers, those fragile snowflakes. They're already many rungs higher on our societal ladder.

Instead, I'll work to try to help those who don't have white male privilege. They need my prayers and efforts more than a bunch of self-important so-called Christians.

That's where my family is from, generations ago. Glad to see this from the sheriff's office!
