South Plainfield's Labor Day parade was tarnished when a white supremacist group showed up on the route.
-- The South Plainfield City Council held an emergency meeting Tuesday night after a white supremacist group showed up at the borough's Labor Day parade.
In a video, group members can be seen carrying a banner reading,"Defend American labor, close the border," alongside others carrying the Betsy Ross flag. "None of us condoned this group, believe in what they believe in or welcome them to this parade or the community," he said. "It turns out that they tried to inject themselves in the main parade and they did not. They were stopped. And they were basically pushed maybe three or four blocks away from the main parade," said Daryle Lamont Jenkins, with One People's Project."Their main intention has always been to spew hate, right, but it's always been to be dehumanized, right? To dehumanize us for who we are collectively, as individuals," said Kason Little, with Black Lives Matter, Elizabeth.
