Armed, Confederate flag-waving White Lives Matter protesters rally outside Houston NAACP
crazy inbred hicks on the move. drunk and stumbling
White Lives Matter staged a rally outside the NAACP's Houston headquarters on Sunday, sparking controversy and counter-protests in a city where racial tensions remain high after a string of recent incidents.
Clutching Confederate flags, white supremacist signs and, in several cases, assault rifles, roughly 20 White Lives Matter members stood on the sidewalk of a historically black neighborhood to denounce the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
"We came out here specifically today to protest against the NAACP and their failure in speaking out against the atrocities that organizations like Black Lives Matter and other pro-black organizations have caused the attack and killing of white police officers, the burning down of cities and things of that nature," organizer Ken Reed told the Houston Chronicle. "If they're going to be a civil rights organization and defend their people, they also need to hold their people accountable."
Reed, who was wearing a "Donald Trump '16" hat and a "White Lives Matter" shirt with white supremacist symbols, said protesters were "not out here to instigate or start any problems," despite the weaponry and body armor on display.
"Obviously we are exercising our Second Amendment rights but that's because we have to defend ourselves," he told the Chronicle. "Their organizations and their people are shooting people based on the color of their skin. We're not."
