Rappers Ludacris, Chingy and David Banner's plans to hold a concert in Casper, Wyoming, has prompted protests from a local white supremacist group.

Members of the NATIONAL ALLIANCE have handed out over 2,500 flyers with images of hip-hop star Mystikal, who was recently sentenced to six years in prison for sex crimes.

The flyer reads, "Over a month ago, the city welcomed the rapist rapper Mystikal. Now the city is throwing the red carpet down for another black rapper. Why are we allowing this violent diversity to be forced in our city?"

The flyers were created by the local chapter and were approved by The National Alliance's headquarters.

The National Alliance's members say they despised all rappers including white ones - because they promote a criminal culture.

The Mayor of Casper BARB WATTERS has ridiculed the National Alliance's viewpoint, saying, "To blame a whole group for the crimes of one person is outrageous."

Ludacris, Chingy and David Banner are scheduled to appear at the CASPER EVENTS CENTER on 21 February (04).
