The Xenomorph is the proper name of the now iconic "alien" first seen in Ridley Scott's classic Alien and its many sequels and offshoot flicks.

According to IMDB, the soul brother in the alien suit is Bolaji Bodeja, a Nigerian born, 7' 2" tall design student Scott spotted in a bar.  Peep more pics from the set of the original Alien in the gallery. Consider this an early, unheralded win in sci-fi civil rights. Shout out to Yaphet Kotto, too.

Those that have abandoned the cowardice and bigotry associated with the hood and emblazoned cross are now taking to the internet and donning suits, ties, and the occasional swastika tee-shirt on weekends whenever the need arises for them to spread their own special brand of hatred.

The same unique group of “special” Americans met in Arizona and Minnesota to protest America's weak immigration laws and the influx of undocumented illegal aliens that now call the United States of America home.

Members of the Nationalist Socialist Movement watched in awe as their peaceful, hatred induced protest was met with more anti-protestors than they had members. Jeff Schoep of Arizona's NSM encountered a similar situation during his protest in Arizona.
