White Revolution (neo-Nazi group)

White Revolution was a neo-Nazi group that was active in Arkansas from 2002 to 2011. It was headquartered out of Russellville, Arkansas. ^{[1] [2]} The group was founded by Billy Joe Roper Jr., a neo-Nazi ^[1] 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] He was a former member of the National Alliance. ^[2]

The party was shut down by Roper in 2011, when he elected to join with Thom Robb's group. ^[4] Roper now leads the ShieldWall Network, a white nationalist organization with the goal of building a white ethno-state. ^[5]
