OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Eighteen members of a white supremacist prison gang have been charged with racketeering, drug conspiracy and kidnapping that resulted in at least six homicides during the past 14 years, according to a federal indictment in Tulsa.
The indictment, filed under seal Dec. 7 and unsealed Wednesday, says the 18 are members of the Universal Aryan Brotherhood, or UAB, described as a violent "whites only" gang based primarily in Oklahoma state prisons.
"They are certainly one of the most fearsome (prison gangs). They're aggressive and they're violent," U.S. Attorney Trent Shores said Thursday. "They are absolutely one of the most threatening and one of the most dangerous (gangs)."
The indictment comes after similar charges were filed last week against 54 alleged members of the New Aryan Empire, a white supremacist gang in western Arkansas, but the two are not related, Shores told The Associated Press in a telephone interview following a news conference in Tulsa.

(1,414 posts)Clearly they aren't supreme at anything they claim so why do we allow this to be the term to describes these troglodytes?
Words matter.
How about instead of "White Supremacist" we call them "White Morons" or "White Shitheads" when we post the news of the garbage like antics here in DU, even if we have to change the headline.
Words matter.
