In Racially Troubled Arkansas City, Battle of the Billboards Reignites

Story here

From the article:

This time, there is no doubt who put up the latest racially charged billboard in Harrison, Ark., a nearly all-white city in the Ozarks that is struggling for its soul.

The Ku Klux Klan did it.

In the fall of 2013, a billboard went up on the edge of Harrison, repeating in big black letters against a yellow background the white nationalist mantra “Anti-Racist is a Code Word for Anti-White.”

Time again to appreciate the fact that I managed to escape from the horror of it all. Many of my relatives remain there and needless to say, I don't visit them. I can't choose my relatives but I can darn sure choose to steer clear of them. We all agree to live very far apart.
