White Supremacist Trump Supporters Protest Outside Houston NAACP Office
Today in Houston, a gang of white supremacists gathered outside the NAACP office with Confederate flags, signs that read “14 words” and “White Lives Matter,” and Donald Trump caps.
It’s a stark image that caught some in Houston’s Third Ward off guard: Confederate battle flags waving outside of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s Office.
Roughly 20 people showed up on Sunday, some with the red flag and assault rifles, others holding up a “White Lives Matter” banner, in a protest against NAACP, according to local media reports.
“We came here because the NAACP headquarters is here and that’s one of the most racist groups in America,” Scott Lacy, a White Lives Matter member, told KPRC-TV.
Some information about the “14 words:”
“14 Words” is a reference to the most popular white supremacist slogan in the world: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” The slogan was coined by David Lane, a member of the white supremacist terrorist group known as The Order (Lane died in prison in 2007). The term reflects the primary white supremacist worldview in the late 20th and early 21st centuries: that unless immediate action is taken, the white race is doomed to extinction by an alleged “rising tide of color” purportedly controlled and manipulated by Jews.
