Real diversity
A North Carolina TV station does an interesting feature on local Sovereign Citizens. Caught me by surprise; after the intro I was expecting the "usual" set of white boys, but this group turns out to be all black, with El in their names. Apparently an offshoot of Elijah Muhammad's Black Muslims. Aside from that, their beliefs and actions are identical to the white version of Sovereigns.
They strike me as old-fashioned pre-1918 Americans, polite and firmly civilized, accustomed to a non-Soviet government, who suddenly find themselves transported to 2013. (Like Rip van Wink-El.) And they're doing what old-fashioned pre-Soviet Americans would do in that situation. They're trying to obstruct and hinder the tyrants.
Well now. The vicious bigoted hate group which absurdly names itself the "Southern" "Poverty" "Law" Center has been focusing ferociously on the Sovereign Citizens movement for a long time. Let's see if they've taken note of these Sovereign Citizens. The "S" "P" "L" C blog has a tag for Sovereigns. Let's scan through it ... Nope! I don't see any of those El names among the Sovereigns they hate. All the pictures are caucasians, for Some Mysterious Fucking Reason.
Hmm. Who's the racist here? Surprise surprise surprise surprise surprise! The "S" "P" "L" C hate group is the bigot, treating Sovereigns as a racial classification. The Sovereign movement is truly diverse in the best old-fashioned sense of the word.
