Obama’s 1st term already led to a resurgence of the KKK, they just called it the Tea Party instead and pretended the primary focus was on government spending. The original KKK made similar noises about how its primary focus was states’ rights.

KKK/John Birch Society/Tea Party – all examples of organizations created to express the grievances of bigots and fanatics who don’t believe in democracy. Hate and unreasoning fanaticism never die.

Regarding the status of the KKK, Jason Sattler’s article gains a good deal of its credibility from statistics kept by the Southern Poverty Law Center (which progressives of all stripes ought to support). Its newsletter and other publications provide ample proof that these new numbers do not represent a kinder, gentler KKK, even though its numbers are not yet very numerous compared to the numbers of gun lovers in the U.S. today.

That’s why I’m less satisfied with the connection Sattler makes between growing membership in the KKK and increased firearms purchases. The NRA, with 4,000,000 members, specializes in capitalizing on fear and paranoia in order to sell the firearms and ammunition produced by its benefactors. The KKK grows its numbers (still less than 20,000) by popularizing racism and white supremacy. The Republican party is not to be envied in its role of bringing these two discredited American fringe movements into its tent. Their numbers are small compared to the Republican electorate, but the NRA and the KKK could very well destroy the Republican party if it becomes identified primarily by these two.

The resurgence of hate groups such as the KKK, White Supremacists, and the neo-Nazis began the moment President Obama won the election in November 2008. It is an essential element in the new Tea Party, which has evolved from a movement focused on fiscal responsibility to a hate group that opposes anything the Obama administration proposes, even when it is something they have endorsed. Members of these groups are not only buying assault and semi-automatic weapons, they are training and preparing for warfare. While their presence is most evident in the South, they can also be found throughout the Bible Belt and in most states in the Union.
Racism may no longer be as overt as it was 50 or 60 years ago, and we no longer have lynchings or deny people a meal in a cafeteria next to white folks, but it remains latent and it is as dangerous to the betterment of our society as ever.

Linda, you must always remember that the “Power Structure” (the 1 %) has always used hatred of the black man as a means to prevent the working classes to recognise how they are being used to enrich the “upper crust”. This was true of sharecroppers, and is true today.

Black Panther militance: a timely model for us Green Panthers as thermageddon & ecollapse threaten H. unsapiens w/deserved extinction.

PREJUDICE IS SAD

KKK members call themselves “separatists.” I would feel better if they separated from our country.

As Frank Zappa once said, “Hey, people, I’m not black, but there are a whole lot of times I wish I could say I’m not white.”

As Frank Zappa once said, “Hey, people. I’m not black, but there are a whole lot of times I could say I’m not white.”

A MORON WILL BE A MORON, UNTIL DEATH DO IT’S PART . THESE KKK LUNATICS AND ASSHOLES WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US .

Woah! No wonder I break into a cold sweat whenever I fly over the Confederacy. And I’m white!

Ask the right wing radicals, Mitch McConnell, etc. I’m sure he’s dusted of his KKK dunce cap, along with his tag along crony hate mongers. You know who they are, I’m sure!

I voted for Obama the first time but not the second time. Dont say americans cant accept a black man, remember he WAS elected. What i cant accept is a liar, crook, elitist, communist, power grabber. Obama promised to not duplicate Bush’s way of executive orders but in fact has signed more, and more against americans, than any president in history. Thats only one of scores of examples of why he is no good. Race is blind.

Obama stood before 300 million people on Inaugaration Day and swore to uphold the Constitution. Then he threw that oath away and since has trampled on the Constitution. You people are amazing–if a white president did that, you call it treason; if a black president does that you call it racism. Someone here needs a dictionary lesson and it isnt me.

It started as soon as the kochs release money to tear the president down. This a 73 year old white man that could see this as soon as the President took office. But the media will never say this.

There has been not too much as claimed, they have been there all the time,the only thing is they feel their back is against the wall now, and their dreams of a White only America is no fiction but reality. Yes the KKK, plus the Tea party is in millions, but what a group like KKK is failing to know is they are forcing the White race into a minority, by dividing and hoping to rule someday that will never come or their second dream to take up arms against who? they cannot tell if against the Government or against the Blacks or even against the Latinos so they are wishing for any thing that will hurt them or is hurting them. They have to get over it.

Are these people (KKK) considered mentally ill or home grown terrorist? I wonder how many of these groups are members of the NRA. I would fear those that are buying assault guns because they are mentally unstable with home grown terrorist mind sets and a touch of paranoia.

America – Land Free, Home of the Brave and Bastion of Stupidity!

man learn to spell

one donewong how did we get the 10 trillion debt oh yeah that right we went to war that wasn,t funded in a country that had not done one damn thing to us. and were in the hell are the W.M.Ds. that was suppoiwse to be their and this was done not under pres obama but under your boy bush and the rep house and senate along with the dems so please get off thesoap box go to fox because the rest of us know the real deal and you nor fox and your high priest rush can change facts nor rewrite history too bad . go cry in your beer

And ya know what? You don’t see the blacks catching the next boat back to Africa either, do ya? Guess they must like it better here, than for all their “pining away from their homeland and oh woe is me!” Well, if it’s all so hunky-dory over there, go back! I imagine there’s a few vacancies, what w/ all the civil wars and starving they’re doing over there – and it AIN’T CUZ OF WHITEY EITHER!!! These are nice black countries, run by all black folks and look at just how WEEEEEEELL they’re doing!!! Proves my point.

All of the remarks are just stupid and absoultely arrogant!

1. I don’t hear the KKK or white people publicly announcing that they are going “pistol whip black folks.” Whereas, The Black Panther Party has stated they would “pistol whip white folks, if Obama wasn’t re-elected.”

2. Many Obama’s excutive orders are in fact racist. Example – Executive Order — White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans. There are also similar executive orders for Asians, Hispanics and American Indians. However, there are none supporting education for Caucasian Americans. Don’t believe it to be true? Go to Whitehouse.Gov and search it for yourself. I thought we are all Americans and therefore entitled to the same rights.

3. Actually, Obama and not Congress has divided America . Obama always shows support for minorites, illegals, African Americans, etc. Never once has he shown support for White Americans. Did I forget to mention he does not listen to the American people? If you want to talk about hate groups. At least do proper research. Speaking of which, why isn’t The New Black Panthers listed as a hate group but the KKK is?

Looks to me like the KKK and The New Black Panthers want the same for both races. Problem is, people let history get in the way and don’t learn from it. And there is a little thing called “lack of communication.”

BTW Lynda “lack of true manhood” comes from the President not keeping his promises, not working with congress and stating “That fatherhood comes 1st and being president 2nd.” He is President and is supposed to lead this country. How can one say that in a position of leadership. Sounds like he just looks at the Presidency as his own personal toliet seat.

@Love 1959, Blacks and every race for that matter are quilty of racially motivated crimes. Doesn’t matter if it was within the same race or not. Why do you still in the 18th and 19th centuries. Don’t forget Africans played a part in slavery by kidnapping, raping, piliging and genocide before the Americas were founded.
