These people didn't just disappear or leave the planet, like the cowards they are, they hid away...as long as their viewpoint was not acceptable!

Chief Justice John Roberts, SCOTUS, Shelby County v Holder
“Our country has changed,” Roberts wrote in the opinion he delivered that day, Shelby County v. Holder. It has wiped away so much of its racist past that the “extraordinary measures” employed by a key provision of the Voting Rights Act could no longer be justified.

This was the clarion call awaited by the various white power groups, and like a rolling tide they came out into the open, because the leaders of these groups, knew that the Republican controlled US Congress would do nothing to put the protections provided by Section 5, back into place!

And with the assitance of the media, these groups have been provided with the same legitimacy that they had in the past!!!
