High Plains States Reject White Supremacist Efforts to Settle

Craig Cobb doesn’t seem to be too well liked on the High Plains. The man has been searching for a city in which to create an all-white enclave. And,as The Dickinson Press reports, he’s met the same response in Nebraska and Kansas as he did in North Dakota: Not here.

The white supremacist has launched efforts to buy property in four small towns in Nebraska and Kansas, as part of an effort he calls “Pioneer Little Europe.” Once he had control of the towns, Cobb planned to create all-white communities there. But when residents heard about the plan, they fought back.

Cobb drew international attention in 2013 when he started buying lots in Leith, ND. But Leith, too, eventually kicked the man and his followers out, forcing him to look to the south. After Leith, Cobb moved on to Antler, ND, where he tried to turn an old bank into a church for his white-superiority religion.
