Racist Flyers Show Up on University of Maryland Campus

American Vanguard website

Some white supremacist fliers have shown up on a University of Maryland campus.

They were found at the College Park facility and put out under the American Vanguard logo which is associated with white supremacy.

The Washington Post reports that the flyer read, “We have a right to exist.”

It claims that – what it calls – whiteness is under attack with fears about becoming a minority by mid-century in the United States.  

The school’s Diamondback newspaper first reported that the campus police responded to a report of vandalism on Sunday and found several flyers posted at the main and southern entrance.

American Vanguard is a California outfit that has put up fliers on other campuses across the country.
