Associated Press WATERBURY, Conn. -- City police are investigating complaints from residents who said a national white supremacist group has been dropping racist literature in front of their homes.
"The literature may be offensive, but it is not threatening or advocating any violence," police Sgt. Christopher Corbett said. "At this point, it does not appear that a crime has been committed, but we are receiving complaints form the public and we are following up and actively investigating the matter."
The literature warns white people to organize or face extinction. The source of the paper is the European-American Unity and Rights Organization, a Louisiana-based group with a stated purpose to defend, "white interests and rights in the same fashion that the NAACP works for 'the advancement of Colored People."'
The group's president is David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan and one-term Louisiana state representative. Duke's assistant James Kelso, said the group is not conducting a campaign in Connecticut. He suggested that a supporter here is engaged in a "self-starter" activity.
The literature also criticizes what it calls the "Jewish-controlled" Hollywood for glamorizing interracial relationships and claims businesses that hire non-white workers change the racial complexion of neighborhoods.
