02/03/2006 | Displayed how many caucasians would have been happy as Nazis.Today,we still have an element of neo-nazi skinheads who think it "manly" to gang up on gays or minorities and beat them up.What a bunch of cowards and punks....

01/31/2006 | Just the fact that this group who once held a lot of power and clout are riduculed and unwanted now, says how far people have come in their outlook.
I was watching a Beatle documentary on the weekend and was shocked to see an klansmember being interviewed on network tv about his anti Beatle stance--this was after that Jesus remark John Lennon made--but the fact that this character was given national tv airtime and they acted like his opinion counted for something, blew me away!

01/19/2006 | Maybe oppressing minorities while dressed in a bedcloth seemed like a great idea to a few people, but I don't think most of us look back on this with much happiness.

01/17/2006 | Easy to attack now, but there was a time when they seemed almost mainstream. One of our very own sitting presidents watched and complimented a feature length film that still receives accolates for its "brilliance" even as it dehumanized blacks to the nth degree. To compare them with the Black Panthers or Nation of Islam is irresponsible. Neither of these latter groups has lynched whites for being white - whatever their rhetoric. And in fact, the BPP, for all its horrible rhetoric, did have some redeeming characteristics in providing after school reading clinics, health clinics, social work assistance, and community building. And while they may have felt hate, some of them anyway, they didn't preach it. The Klan's purpose was to maintain oppression through a climate of fear. There is no equivalency.

01/17/2006 | You will never get an argument from me that they were/are not a premier bunch of inbred, knuckle dragging morons. However, while their existence is shameful, in the context of the whole world, they were never endorsed by more than a handful of the population. Their day has come and gone and today they have all the significance of buggy whips and corsets - you still may be able to find those things but they are considered obsolete.

01/16/2006 | I wasn't around for the initial flourishing of the Klan. I also wasn't around for the initial flourishing of the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam. Nevertheless, the steady decline in both memberships has to hold some water of hope for both races.

01/16/2006 | There naturally is nothing good I can say about the Klan...
Sometimes I'll ask a particular black friend his thoughts on the hooded idiots just because it's funny hearing him rant and rave about them. I can't blame him in the slightest.

01/16/2006 | Clearly there are serious and not-so-serious things here (running the spectrum from historical to pop-culture) and certainly the robed-rednecks must take a medal in the low-moments-of-paleface culture. . .an awful moment for everyone except those in the bleach business.
