Klan fliers circulate in Wiregrass

I would hope that there are at least some halfway intelligent people out there in Alabama that won’t let this kind of hatred get a foothold in our area. We can sit here and spout scripture, we can sit here and say that the Klan does “good” things too, like beating the crap out of no-good white guys. The truth remains. The only thing you see or hear that comes from the mouths of these hate-filled people is ignorance. Such ignorance shows when they can’t even string words together to produce a coherent sentence. I think that we need to look within ourselves. Not at the color of someone’s skin. Black can be the color of someones soul, and the majority of the time, you see the proof in the actions of these so called “good ol’ boys”. Switching races isn’t right. They’re human beings the same as we are. They have the right of freedom, equality, and to live in peace without feeling like they’ll find a burning cross in thier yard. I thought these days were in our past, aren’t we supposed to learn from the sins of our fathers? This is the bible belt, where’s your scriptures, where is the love for one another that Christ asked of us? The Klan calls themselves christians, they believe in God, they believe in the teachings of Jesus. Where is this Jesus and God that they speak of? Because I have a feeling that they aren’t the same as the ones we know. People really need to come together and open thier eyes. They need to stand up for what is right.

Being one who believe that there is but “one North American Union and it’s ashame that racism along with canadian arrogance has stunted its’ growth” , I wouldn’t normally have a problem with this so called “Mexican infiltration”, if these people were from Mexico but since they’re NOT, I take issue. (legal or not)

I am 52 years old and all my life this country we live in has been a black and white thing.  I dont really see where we have that kind of issue now.  But what blacks and whites both better wake up to is the Mexican infiltration into this country.  We dont need the Mexican Trash that is comming accross the Border.  As far as the Klan.  Well I know that there have been wrongs done by so called Klansmen.  Just like There have been wrongs done by Black Panthers. Even in Church organizations wrongs are done.  Look at the Cathalic Church.  Everything has good and Bad in it.  The klan was started to keep sorry white men in line who would not take care of there familys.  and just like everything else.  You had bad sides to as well.

Last year my husband at a neighbor’s home standing in the front yard when a group of men stopped and got out of their vehicle to hand them Klan applications…Apparently they were riding around in the neigborhood and doing this. I was not there to witness this but I did see the application first hand long enough to rip it up and throw it away..I was outraged! I could not believe that they would have the audacity to even do that..I can’t believe these people. They were lucky I wasn’t there to give them a piece of my mind.

In the late 1970’s, I had several conversations with a “lifetime” klan member who was in his very late 70’s and a customer of mine. He told me about “showing his butt” at the food stamp office because a very old and feeble black man, in front of him, was given less than $20 in food stamps for the month and told me stories of members of the klan taking WHITE men who blew their paychecks on liquor instead of food to feed their families for “a ride and talk” the first time and a “ride and beating” the next time, if the first ride didn’t work. There’s more to the klan than JUST being a so-called “hate group”.....and NO, I’m not now, nor have ever been, a klan member.
