WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: White supremacy

This will be our last Weekly Gross-Out. Sometime next month, I will launch a new weekly feature tentatively known as the Bad Idea of the Week. But let's end this feature with a well-deserved bang: a tranquil town in North Dakota could lose its serenity if one man has his way. Paul Craig Cobb wants to transform Leith, population 24, into a community that mirrors his white supremacist views. Cobb said he envisions Leith as a place where white nationalist banners will be flown, where white culture would be celebrated, and where minorities would not be welcome. His white power takeover would begin with getting political control over Leith. But his ambitions go way beyond this one small town. Cobb said he wants this movement to spread to other communities, other nations, even around the world, though he does not explain how he would do this. I wouldn't want to because no explanation in the world can justify such bigoted behaviour. Leith's lone black resident, Bobby Harper, feels under threat because of those bellends. Minorities have already suffered enough throughout history.
