From NY to Texas, KKK recruits with candies and fliers [W:16]

White guilt is such a terrible and TAUGHT disease...

I'm getting sick of the "I hate my white skin" crowed...

Sorry to tell you folks (and I'm not white) but there is absolutely nothing wrong with being white...

You are right. there is nothing wrong with being white. I don't know too many whites that hate their skin color. But I do know that is a huge issue in the black culture.

I generally don't get that treatment because I'm a dark skinned Sicilian, however I have seen it...

I also don't frequent areas where I think I may have a racial problem..
 
backwards and inside out.

The first amendment grants govt protection to some speech, it is not a guarantee of "no restrictions". Hate speech is not protected speech, the KKK is not a protected class.

It amazes me how you do not understand the constitution. The 1st amendment doesn't grant government protection, it prohibits government interfering with free speech, freedom of religion, assembly and petition. The government doesn't grant anything. Hate speech is defined differently from state to state and is a legal term and is difficult to file charges as more difficult to convict.

I think that is a issue world wide. I have Indian friends who say that dark skin Indians are look down on by fair skin Indians over in India.

I've never experienced racism - at least not for being "brown".... Sure, I have friends who are Northern Italian that give me a "friendly" racism just to screw around but it's all in good fun.


The racism I get is when it comes to affirmative action - I could easily lie and say I'm Mexican or American Indian but why should I have to? Why should my race - or race in general play a role if someone is qualified for a job or anything for that matter.

As I said, bassakwards. Some speech being protected against govt prosecution.....is referred to as protected speech. Libel, threats and hate speech are not protected speech.

Stop standing on your head.

Not really.....but that is straw. The point is, it is not protected speech.

Stand on your feet.
 
I am not sure if it wise for a news agency to report that a racist and former terrorist organization is recruiting people. Its practically free advertisement for the group.[/Q

What?

You think the KKK just lets anyone join? or any white supremacist group for that matter?

I have never met a KKK member or even a member of a white supremacist gang my entire life..... Sure I have met white individuals who were proud to be white and banded together but they were hardly a "gang" and hardly "racist."

There is a big difference between racial pride and hating other races...

I'm on the fence about AA. I'm a 6'4 black man who has never had a problem getting a job in IT in Dallas of all places. I think that it is not needed in most companies now because there is too much diversity. Now this is only my opinion because I don't experience it in the cultures I've work in.

Besides I don't want the impression that I got my job only because I am black.

So...your argument is that since you think you have not met a KKK member, you are going to assume they limit their activities to positive discrimination?

I don't want you to have the impression you got your job because you're black either.

See, you're probably around my age, where race generally isn't an issue... Apparently it is to older folk.

See, my group of friends are more bonded by family values, or to a lesser extent "class." Race doesn't play a role.

Being proud of your race is NOT discrimination.

Did you ever hear of David Duke? There are people like him all over the USA.
 
Being proud of your race is NOT discrimination.
Actually it is....but to get you to answer the question, I'll rephrase it:

Is your point that since you think you have never met a KKK member, that the KKK does not participate in racist activity?

Yeah and they all hate Jews.....

Oh and honestly, I dated a Jewish girl and her parents forbid her from seeing me because I'm a Roman Catholic (oh yeah the KKK hate us too apparently). So I certainly found that racist - I cant date a girl because I'm not "Jewish."

It didn't matter I was 18 and she was 18 so there was nothing her parents could do about it at the time - oh besides disown her.... That pissed me off to no extent (and she was extremely upset too)...

Oh so pride is now hate?

So I suppose all gay people or any person that takes part in a pride parade is racist or biased?

Awesome logic or is it just subjective?

Love will usually find a way no matter what the obstacles are.

I find it funny that you cannot acknowledge that the KKK does have a very long history of racist activity and instead you have decided to conflate gay pride with racism.

The point is, the KKK "white pride" activities are not benign.

Well, it wasn't my family - my family loved her - I loved her, and that is why I had to dump her, because I didn't what her family to disown her... Besides I was 18, puppy first love but I did it for her own good - not that I wanted to.

Yeah, well so do lots of organizations.

You could also say I adhere to Cortz's inquisition..

I don't agree with the KKK but I don't like the fact they are ignorantly labeled.

Straw, the topic you were commenting on is the KKK, your "not meeting a member" and then making comment that "white pride" by "groups" is not necessarily racist.....alluding to a belief that the KKK does not use "white pride" as a racist device and inferring that they are not a racist organization.

I still cannot get you to admit that they are a racist organization.

You could also say I adhere to Cortz's inquisition..
FFS...only you know what this means.

I don't agree with the KKK but I don't like the fact they are ignorantly labeled.
Another ambiguous statement bordering on denial of the racist activities and racist ideology of the KKK.

Maybe your reading comprehension isn't so great?

You believe what you want to believe...
 
Maybe your reading comprehension isn't so great?
You haven't shown my comprehension to be in error, ergo, the problem is your refusal to make clear statements....as I have shown in your multiple responses.

You believe what you want to believe...
It is entirely within your ability to make clear, concise replies.

I think most people might have just brushed off the flyers as some sort of joke.If this was the 1960s or before I am sure you could say I hate niggers,spicks, republicans, catholics and kites 0h look there is the KKK's corner office I think I'll join. Today I imagine that it would be a lot harder finding a local chapter.
