In the small town of Leith, North Dakota, a man named Paul Craig Cobb wants to make the town completely white. There is only one colored family in the town and they feel threatened by Paul's views to have only whites as the whole race in the small town. Because of this, Bobby Harper, the colored resident in the small town doesn't feel safe anymore, and most of the townsfolk do not feel safe under these circumstances either. Personally, I think that this man is extremely racist against this colored man and his family.  How do you think this will turn out and what are your thoughts on what Paul Craig Cobb wants to do to this town?

  • i think this is terrible. This is really racist. One of the most racist things ive ever heard of. I dont blame Bobby Harper for feeling unsafe. I think if he really loves his home that he should stand up for what is right. I also think he should move somewhere that he can feel safe and be welcomed by others.

  • I believe it is not right to try to make a town one race. Paul Craig Cobb is a total racist, but hopefully not a white extremest. I want to think that this will dial down and nobody will get hurt or discriminated against. I wish that we as Americans could overcome something as menial as race and all live together with racial equality.

  • It is extremely racist to try to make a family leave because of their skin color. He should be charged with something.

  • I don't see why people are so raciest, this has happened years and years ago. People don't know how to leave things in the past. I think someone should take a stand to this and have Bobby Harper leave. The town should also help this colored family and take a stand on there side.

  • I think this is ridiculous. There is no good reason for him to want to kick this family out. This is a very racist act he is trying to do and I don't think many people will stand behind him for it.

  • I think he needs to get over himself because the colored people can live in that town it's not his to control. It is also terrible that some of the other people in the town don't feel comfortable you should be able to live in a town and fell comfortable with your surroundings. With ought people wanting you to leave especially because you are a different color and they want everyone in the town to be the same color. 

  • Well done!

  • I think that what he is doing is very wrong, i think that they can live wherever they want because it is a free country so they can live where they want and honestly i think he should get in trouble for trying to violate those peoples rights and making them think it isn't safe to live there.

  • If I was the colored family in the town i would probably move before this gets out or hand.

  • I think that Paul Craig Cobb is very racist and that the town should be able to have anybody live there that wants too. No town should purposely be an all white town.
