aspects of white supremacy in the South particularly after Brown vs. the Board of Education. The CCC came up and pols were mentioned but not the specific ideology of the group. I read some of the background in the Sourcewatch and SPLC profiles. In my post # 42 here I noted a Cuban American CCC member that Nikki Haley appointed to assist her 2014 re-election but who was forced to resign. Dylan Roof also mentioned the western and Pacific NW Aryan group, Northwest Front based out of Seattle which Thom Hartmann brought up yesterday on his radio program and I looked up online. All disturbingly real and horrible.
