A new billboard in Harrison, Arkansas, is causing quite a stir.
The billboard is advertising a website for ‘White Pride Radio,’ a web-based radio series, and says, “It’s not racist to love your people.”
Tom Robb, national director of the Knights Party, said that the party had sponsored the sign and that the radio station had been running for more than a year.
As to the timing of the poster, Robb claimed there was no real reason for the date, just that they “wanted to wait until the first of the year.”
Robb also said that Claude West, owner of the sign company that made the billboard, has been targeted by the city for this and two other billboards. He said people tried to destroy West’s business and that West had been threatened because he did not reveal the name of the person who leased the billboard.
“Look at the hate that comes out,” Robb said. “That’s why you find that happening sometimes.”
As for claims that the billboard is racist, Robb simply had this to say: “What is a racist? Everyone has their own definition of it.”
