Anti-Hate and Native American groups rally against racist takeover


In August, people from Leith, North Dakota were shocked to discover a white supremacist plot to take over their tiny town. Addicting Info‘s Abby Miller reported that Craig Cobb — a known racist wanted in Canada for promoting hate propaganda – was buying up properties, selling them to his fellow racists for “next to nothing,” and donating them to the National Socialist Movement and other hate groups. Now, the townspeople are fighting back with help from local Native American groups, a Web-savvy local, and supporters from in and around Grant County. Unity North Dakota reports that 300 turned out to march through town and pay a visit to Cobb’s house on Sunday, September 22. That’s more than the town’s population of 16 (as of the 2010 census) plus whatever neo-Nazi first-time home buyers might be lurking around. Political Blind Spot adds that UnityND and various Native American activists organized the rally and a caravan for supporters from neighboring towns. To honor the occasion — or perhaps just to make Craig Cobb and his li’l band of racists freak out — some Native American protesters showed up in full tribal dress.



“Our children deserve a life without bigots” … like Craig Cobb

UnityND told reporters that the purpose of the rally was to “prevent white supremacists from terrorizing North Dakota [...] because our children deserve a life without bigots.” A video report from U.S. Nationalist News shows an indignant protester with a megaphone standing in from of Cobb’s house shouting:

“If you think we’re gonna let you come into our territory and threaten our children, you got another think coming!”

The influential Lakota tribe’s Last Real Indians blogger Chase Iron Eyes matter-of-factly adds:

“This isn’t a black thing, this isn’t a white thing, this isn’t a red thing, this is a hate thing and a respect thing.”

U.S. Nationalist News also mentions that Leith, ND’s plight has “gone viral,” (In those parts, “viral” means around 6,000 page views, but what the hey, that’s a lot of visits for such a sparsely populated area), and introduces us to the man behind it all: A Web-savvy consultant from the nearby town of Leipzig named Gregory Bruce. He developed a homespun Leith, ND website and facebook page to garner support:

“I’ll post a lot of the photographs, and there’ll be no captions on them so people around the world can see what went on here today.”

1. I don't think White Supremacists could find Europe on a map...

...much less their asses with their hands.

Back to Canada with them.

9. This is an example of how the Internet can be intricately tied to activism.
