“Our race is our nation,” reads another.
The fliers are signed “Loyal White Knights of the KKK” and include a website address and phone number to call for those interested in joining the genocide.
WSBTV reports the Newton County Sheriff Office has launched an investigation, following several complaints by residents who found the flyers placed on their driveways and lawns.
Bessemer Deputy Police Chief Mike Roper told AL.com the flyers were “very offensive”.
“I mean, I guess it’s kind of repulsive, you know,” Louisiana resident Patrick Sarver told WWL-TV
.“I mean, I don’t discriminate against any group and I don’t feel like anyone around here should be discriminated against either.”
Another woman who asked not to be identified told the news station that she is “extremely hurt by” the fliers.
“As a member of the gay community,” she said, “I think it shows the ignorance of society still.”
The FBI said it is investigating the issue.

There is a lot of information wrong in this article. Louisiana has PARISHES not counties. There is no Bessemer Louisiana or Arkansas. There is a Bessemer in Alabama. There is a Newton County in Northern Arkansas but no Bessemer in it. There is a Newton town in Alabama. Mike Roper lives in Bessemer Alabama.
Why would an Arkansas/Alabama policeman be speaking to a Louisiana resident about the flyer in the Louisiana yard?
This comes from Louisiana born and raised native.
