The Rise of the New Racism

Finkelman, Paul
Abstract
On December 7, 1995 two white soldiers from Fort Bragg went into nearby Fayetteville, North Carolina with semi-automatic weapons, "hunting for blacks." The two soldiers succeeded in their intended goal. They shot Michael James, age 36, and Jackie Burden, age 27, in the head at close range, killing them. In the soldiers' rooms the police found a Nazi flag, racist literature, a bombmaking book, and white supremacist paraphernalia.
