    Buz, from what I’ve read of the sovereign citizens, they include people of other races and ethnicities, as long as they’re ‘Americans’. I’ve seen videos and pix of sovereign citizen meetings, which included blacks as well as whites.

    It may be that the white group in Augusta found themselves agreeing with the Nuwaubians on many or most of their beliefs. Although sovereign citizens as such resemble ‘Anonymous’, having no formal group structure, the ones in the Augusta area may have aligned themselves with the Nuwaubians due to common beliefs and goals.

    on the down side, it’s two dangerous groups getting together. on the up side, they don’t seem to be racist.
