A billboard near Birmingham, Alabama, simply states, “Diversity means chasing down the last white person #whitegenocide.”
The billboard, which went up last Friday, is similar to one that went up in Leeds, Alabama in Jun 2013 that read, “Anti-racist is code word for anti-white.”
The Leeds billboard was purchased by the League of the South, a “Southern nationalist organization.” The billboard company has not released the identity of the person or persons who purchased Friday’s billboard.
The phrases used on the billboard are commonly used by members of the White Genocide Project, a white supremacist group of online separatist activists. The phrases are called “repeater words,” which members are encouraged to repeat and use often to gain momentum.
