Filed under: Why am I not surprised?
The Southern Poverty Law Center on Wednesday accused South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley of appointing a white supremacist to her steering committee.
In February, the Republican governor announced she had formed the committee to explore her re-election options. Roan Garcia-Quintana of Greenville was listed as one of the 164 co-chairs.
The Anti-Defamation League has described Garcia-Quintana as a white supremacist and a well-known leader in the Council of Conservative Citizens.
The group openly opposes the immigration of non-European and non-Western peoples into the United States and condemns all efforts to mix the races of mankind. The Council of Conservative Citizens also believes the United States should not tolerate sexual licentiousness, homosexuality and other perversions, mixture of the races, pornography in all forms, and subversion of the authority of parents.

With a surname of Garcia-Quintana, I assumed he was Hispanic. Perhaps he doesn't know how he got such a name. As bad as EW Jackson and his defense of racial segregation. WTF are these people thinking?
