After dozens of African American teens attacked white fairgoers on opening night of the Wisconsin State Fair, message boards, blogs and Patch sites lit up with comments.

Now, a self-named "white civil rights group" is planning a protest in West Allis for Sept. 3 to call attention to what they say is unfair application of state hate crime laws.

In a story that ran on WISN News, a member of the National Socialist Movement of Wisconsin was quoted as saying they aren't a hate group, but they do want to reach out to the white community about protecting themselves against future attacks.

"Only protected groups and minorities can be considered victims of hate crimes," said Harriet in the report. "Well, that kind of leaves us white folks standing out with nobody looking out for us."

West Allis police are advising business owners that they may want to close their doors when the rally takes place next week. A counter-protest with at least 100 people is planned for the same day to promote peace and tolerance.
