Mom Lets Son Wear KKK Halloween Costume, Says It's A Family Tradition

If these people choose to be racist in a private way, that is their business. I would not give this child any candy. You have a right to a certainly level of being a provocateur but I don't have to support it.
 
Racism is the belief that different "races" of humans exist.

There's only one race. The human race.
 
Why is this even discussion worthy? There were also people that dressed up like Zimmerman and Martin, Boston Marathon bombing victims etc. People do things for attention and they get it. Sure it's in bad taste but they knew well when they did it people wouldn't approve (I suspect that is exactly why they did it, trolling)

And the hand ringers are giving them exactly what they're looking for.
 
Yea, to hell with that pesky First Amendment.

Nobody said she had no right to do it. Most people disagreed with her poor choice, which is also part of the First Amendment.
 
Wrong.

Lots of people have said, and continue to say that racism is dead.

It isn't.

Those who say that it is have an agenda, and their agenda is not about equal rights for all.

The Libbos dream up new examples of racism everyday. Hell, it's racist to criticize the president...now.
 
It ain't playing the race card to point out inbred dumbasstic, moronic, teeth grinding, butt scratching, booger eating ignorance.

Or at least that's my opinion as a conservative.

Is that what the KKK was all about?
 
Yea, to hell with that pesky First Amendment.

Did i say she didnt have a right to do this? No.
Did i say she is a bigot and a ****ing idiot? Yes.
 
They should pass a law that requires that children only wear really nice, cute and friendly Halloween costumes. :roll:

How about we just require that kids dressed as the Klan have to go trick or treating in a black neighborhood?

And all the little Hitlers can trick or treat at Temple Beth Israel, and if you want to dress up as Rush Limbaugh, you have to trick or treat in Texas (Though I guess you could just try to pass it off as a really bad Jabba the Hutt costume)

It's in the healthcare bill already. Page 1,325.
 
It's Halloween they can dress as they damn well please. Don't look if you find it different from YOUR choice of costumes.
 
The only problem with this is that there are people who will support this woman in a fictional right to make her child into a social pariah.

So you want to ban KKK costumes?
 
Mom Lets Son Wear KKK Halloween Costume, Says It's A Family Tradition

A Virginia mother let her 7-year-old son wear a Ku Klux Klan costume this Halloween because, she insisted, it's a family tradition.

"My brother has [worn it] when he was in Kindergarten and when he was 13," Black said. She went on to claim there is nothing wrong with the costume or with the White Supremacist group, which she says still exists in their Virginia town. "It's supposed to be white with white, black with black, man with woman and all of that. That's what the KKK stands for."


Seriously?....seriously!!....seriously

How stupid do you have to be to not get that this is, at the very least, a really really bad idea for your child's Halloween costume? For all those folks out there who claim that racism is dead....ummmmmmm....no.

Honestly, why should we care? This woman is obviously beyond hope, and it speaks for itself that the entire town basically shunned her for it. There are always going to be a handful of racist extremist, but considering I don't see anyone coming to her defense, then its really not something to lose sleep over.
 
So you want to ban KKK costumes?

Nope, but I'd support fining parents who make terribly damaging life decisions for their kids. For example, calling your kid "Maleek Black Panther Jackson" is a ****ing terrible way to name your kid. And no. It's not your right to set your kids up for a life of ridicule.
 
The Libbos dream up new examples of racism everyday. .

The KKK is a really new example of racism, now, is it? :roll:

and here, all this time I've been thinking it was an old one.
 
For example, calling your kid "Maleek Black Panther Jackson" is a ****ing terrible way to name your kid. And no.

Well **** me with a stick~!!! Now you tell me

*calls in little Maleek*

Ahhhh, thought control. I don't see it as legitimate government power.
 
That's just you playing your expired anti-Democratic Party card.

The fact that close to 100% of Blacks vote for the Democratic Party Should tell you something.

If it doesn't you have a problem.
It does. It tells us that he put on an even more effective mask and joined a group that has done far more damage to the black community as a whole than the democrat started KKK ever did. when 97% of ANY race support ANY single candidate, especially a candidate that has presided over an increase in the death rate, incarceration rates, illiteracy rates, unemployment rates, home foreclosure rates, violent crime rates, poverty rates, high school droupout rates, and increases in every other category on the misery index, then yes...it SHOULD tell you something. It should SCREAM loud and clear.
 
In a country where there are a MINORITY but still significant population of ignorant mother ****ers across the board in EVERY RACE, its just funny that this can be a 'story'. If you want to see stuff like this on parade every day watch the Jerry Springer or Maury Povitch (sp) shows. They only comical part is that one side only seems to get a burr under their saddle and start threads on ignorant **** like this when it is a white person doing something ignorant. Its not about the 'race card'...hell...anyone with any common sense knows you will NEVER end people with racist ideals. Its the complete lack of perspective by those that insist on making this a big deal.

What happens on this site when it degrades to folks posting "hey, look at what this ignorant black person did" threads alongside the repeated "hey, look what this ignorant white person did" threads?
 
It takes a special kind of stupidity to get upset over a Halloween costume.
