klan

Published Dec. 2, 2008

I'm watching a show on the history channel about the KKK.  It's fascinating.  While we all know how racist a group it is, I'm amazed at how large a group it was and how involved in politics.  The power they had in both church and state is unbelievable.  Scary.  What do you think?

I bet they left out the part about the Klan being democrats.

(shhh! - don't tell anybody - it's one of their best kept secrets)

I saw that the '300 years of slavery' card was played earlier.

**sigh**

Let's also play the 'Irish Need Not Apply' and 'Trail of Tears' and 'Final Solution' cards while we're at it? I'm afraid every group has had hardships placed on them. When Italians first came to America, they were mistreated worse than the Mexicans. Catholics and Mormons get busted in the chops when they run for public office. I don't understand how any preference based on past hardships is ever condoned. If a group is whining about what happened in the past, maybe that group should get over themselves and see that there is a world of hurt out there right in their own back yard. In the meantime, no you may not have an opportunity handed to you over a more qualified person. Life is not always fair. Move on.

It amazes me that voters could forgive somebody for having been a member in this group, but they seemed to have forgiven Robert Byrd.

Truth be told, everyone has a little -ist in them. Whether it's racist, sexist, elitist...whatever group we align ourselves with, we feel it's better than the others. The klan was and is a study of power. It didn't start with bad intentions at all. Simply a fraternity of like-minded individuals. But what happened when they started to gain power...self control went out the window.

The panthers may be racist, but I still love their football team!

UNCG: Uh, Black Panthers were/are racist.

Thats right Steve! I guess its time you run away again before you start making statements you cant follow up with any factual evidence!

Why is it that the KKK a racist group and the Black Panthers and NAACP are not?!?

IDC...no sweat, at first i misunderstood. but you know where the stereotyping always leads....blacks this, whites that...it just gets old.

I have gotta role. Its my wife birfday and she is on the way home.
