KKK: We’re Not a Hate Group!

I wonder if any of them voted for Obama in 2012. After all if he’s such a good recruiting tool you’d think they’d want another four years of him in the White House.

The fliers read, “WAKE UP WHITE AMERICA!!” and explain that “the majority of HATE CRIMES in America are committed by BLACKS against WHITES!!!”

And the MAJORITY of people who use ALL CAPS and lots of EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! are generally full of SHIT!!!

Not intending to go off topic, but…

Do you remember (or did you hear) what the Kook Klux Klowns said a few years ago?

They disavowed the Phelps family and their Westboro bapist church. You KNOW you’re on the fringe when even the KKK thinks you’re crazy.

“we’re not a hate group, … we want to see good things come to our race.”

But they don’t necessarily want to see good things come to other people’s races. In fact, they obsess about which race gets “good things” and they obsess about the importance of race as it affects them.

I’m not sure that makes them a hate group, but it sure does make them bigots. The reason they can’t see it is that the eye holes in their white-sheet hoodies aren’t big enough to see through clearly, when they look in the mirror.

How could I think that they are a hate group? Well, for starters, photos and newsreels, newspaper stories and books, personal testimonies and the like from most of the last century? Just for starters, that is.

Have they wallowed out enough wiggle room now? Do they think that few alive recall or cannot access the record? Are they really that stupid?*

*yes; or stubborn, take your pick.

Not a hate group, they just love some people and ignore the rest.

Well, if by ignore you burning crosses in their lawns and lynching them for looking twice at a white woman.

Heh, well the WBC is glad to be on the fringe. In their minds, if the rest of the world doesn’t hate them for their religious beliefs, that just signifies that they’re doing something wrong. If you brought this point up to them, they’d probably just get that big creepy wide-eyed look they all seem to have and gleefully quote John 15:19 (or some similar passage):

“If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.”

The WBC is probably more on the fringe than the KKK in that it’s smaller, but they LOVE that fact. If they weren’t a despised fringe group, I think they might be worried that they weren’t truly among the elect.

It’s also not too surprising that the KKK and the WBC don’t like each other. Sure, they’re both Christian groups, rabidly anti-gay, and generally hateful people, but they differ in at least a couple of other ways:

KKK – Nationalistic, loves USA (nominally at least)

WBC – explicitly anti-American

KKK – Race-obsessed, “white power”, etc.

WBC – opposed to racism (so nice of them, I know.)

The Westboro Baptist Church also regards the KKK as crazy. I guess it is still kind of funny to watch groups of angry lunatics rush to disavow one another, though.

Yeah, all that lynching was sooo 20th century. The new Klan doesn’t hate black people. They just want them all to disappear, but not, you know, in a hateful way or anything, at least not when there’s a microphone around.

“ethno-preservationists” Wow! That is a great term, though I bet they left a ‘k’ out of their name.

btw this reminds me of the sad fact that, as an Englishman living in the US, I’m ethnodeficient.

I lived for a while near Rising Sun, MD where there was a very outspoken (read moronic) fellow who tried to organize a chapter of the KKK. As far as I knew there were a few hangers on and a few older folks who might have remembered when it was okay to punish blacks for, well, whatever they wanted. This clown would get a chance to make the local papers once in a while but ended up in jail for allegedly throwing a punch at a driver for being a ‘different’ color than his passenger. His disappearance marked the quick end of all KKK activities in the area.
