DICK BARRETT, ROT IN HELL!

The 4th of July will be the tenth anniversary of a march that white supremacist Dick Barrett and his Nationalist Movement held in Morristown, NJ, and the counterdemo that opposed was called the One People’s Rally. If you are reading this site, you can tell that a lot has gone on since then and we evolved beyond the likes of Dick, and with the exception of a few run-ins here and there we pretty much left him to himself since he had no following and no future, even with Dr. Phil giving him air time during the Jena 6 case in 2007. Ten years later, and we have come to what just might be our most significant ROT IN HELL ever! Today, firefighters responding to smoke coming from inside Dick Barrett’s home found the 67-year-old WP scumbag dead inside, and they are calling it a homicide (starting to be a little trend of folks killing Nazis in their home, eh?). People, that could be anyone. No one liked this fool. Never mind those he attacked and those who were against racism. Barrett was an outcast among the white supremacist scene. Will they ever find the person or persons responsible? Time will tell. Will we care. Ummm…no. What we will do is continue on with our work, which was started by this clown picking a fight with us. His life’s work of doing so apparently has caught up with him, and you can bet the champagne is going to be popping tonight! Him inspiring One People’s Project to come into existance is the only thing we will thank him for.

The body of white supremacist Richard Barrett was found Thursday inside his Rankin County home, Sheriff Ronnie Pennington confirmed.

A neighbor reported seeing smoke coming from inside Barrett’s home on East Petros Road and Highway 469 at about 8 a.m., Pennington said. Firefighters entered the home and discovered Barrett’s body near the back door, which was closed but unlocked, he said.

Pennington said Barrett had been killed, but said an autopsy would confirm how he died. The results of the autopsy should be released Thursday afternoon, the sheriff said.

“Somebody killed him; we just have to figure out who,” Pennington said.

Investigators with the Sheriff’s Department and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations executed a search warrant three doors down from Barrett’s home Thursday morning. Pennington said Barrett was last seen there before his death. Investigators took four items from the house, including a pair of shoes. Pennington wouldn’t say what the other items were. No one was at home during the execution of the warrant, Pennington said.

Barrett, 67, was the founder and leader of the Nationalist Movement, a white supremacist organization based in Learned.

In 2004, Barrett organized a booth at the Mississippi State Fair for the public to sign a petition of support for Edgar Ray Killen, who was later convicted in 2005 of manslaughter in the 1964 Ku Klux Klan-led deaths of civil rights activists Michael Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman.

More recently, in 2008, Barrett attended an anti-Martin Luther King Day demonstration held in Jena, La., where six African-American high school students were accused of beating a white schoolmate.

News of Barrett’s death spread quickly across the Jackson Metro area Thursday.

Dan Hall is the chief strategic consultant to Mission Mississippi — a Christian group that works to bring people together across racial and denominational lines.

“What (Barrett) stands for was hate and was wrong. That he was murdered is no more right than someone who would be against abortion murdering an abortionist. That is not something we should take into our own hands.”

“We exist to be able to have conversations in times like this. This is a great opportunity for Mission Mississippi. We don’t shy away from it. We don’t take stands, as much as we create opportunity for Mississippi,” Hall said.

Civil rights leader Charles Evers said he got to know Barrett over the years.

“I hate to know he was murdered, No. 1, and No. 2, when you got to know Richard, he was not that type of guy. I hated when he talked all that stuff,” Evers said.

Evers is the brother of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers.
