White Revolution (hate group)
Appearance
(Redirected from Billy Roper)
White Revolution was a neo-Nazi hate group that was active in Arkansas from 2002 to 2011. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, "White Revolution is a neo-Nazi group that employs the most violent language and works with some of the most virulent leaders in the world of white supremacy, while claiming to remain legal."[1]
The group was founded by Billy Joe Roper Jr., a neo-Nazi[2] activist who identifies himself as a "Balkanizer" and a "Purity Spiraler". He founded White Revolution in 2002 as an anti-Semitic group promoting white interests.[3]
Roper now leads the ShieldWall Network, a white nationalist organization with the goal of building a white ethno-state.[4]
