Thomas Robb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Robb is national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Zinc, Arkansas.[citation needed] Robb claims to be located in Harrison, Arkansas, but actually lives in Zinc.[citation needed] His street address is listed as Harrison only because of the E911 system, which gives everyone in Boone County, Arkansas a Harrison street address.[citation needed] Robb is an ordained Baptist minister.[citation needed] Born in Detroit, Michigan and later moving to Tucson, Arizona, with his family when he was a young man, Robb became active politically when he was 17 years old speaking out against all forms of Communism. In the late 1990s he was the subject of a documentary (New Klan) by journalist Jon Ronson for the BBC series Witness.
Robb preaches a message of “love, not hate” to reverse some of the negative image he feels the Klan has been given by people looking to vent their hatred in its fourth era. He claims to defend a harmless organization. He is against “race mixing”, which he calls “Satanic”.
Robb's organization posted a message on its website supporting a bill by Marilyn Musgrave that would offer help for home schooled students.[1]
