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's main claims to fame before 2002 were his high-ranking role in the National Alliance, his effusive praise for the 9/11 terrorists, and his organizing for rallies by American Nazis against Israel in Washington, DC. When longtime NA leader William Pierce died suddenly in the summer of 2002, Roper's long list of enemies inside the movement led to him quitting before he could be expelled and founding WR with Thomas Robb. Roper admitted in 2011 that he was shuttering WR because it had failed at its goals, while resolving to remain a fighter for white supremacism and nationalism.
Roper now leads the ShieldWall Network, a white nationalist organization with the goal of building a white ethno-state.[4]
