Dec 9, 2010: KKK Wedding
A KKK wedding in TN, not 100 years ago, 5 days ago.
I didn't know the Klan performed marriages. I guess the tea party doesn't have the authority yet. link

You'd think they'd try to bolster their public image by going green with those new flickering CFL or LED crosses, they're much more eco-friendly...

That's because the green-tech ones need a battery and a switch, which is way beyond the capabilities of these people

According to their beliefs, they are not burning the crosses. They are "lighting" them to shine the teachings of Jesus Christ to all the world. That the cross itself is consumed is irrelevant.
Originally, the KKK was not a racist organization. And some KKK organizations today still are not. Some actually have black, hispanic, and asian members. Originally, the KKK was created as a vigilante group to police their own towns and were used extensively when the real police and courts could do nothing about lawbreakers and criminals. For example, if a man beat his wife and the police could do nothing, then the KKK would light a cross in the guy's front yard as a warning. If that warning went unheeded, then the KKK would take the guy out into the woods and explain the nature of the problem to him. It originally was NOT about racism. It was about law and order. The fact that some (most?) KKK groups today are racist doesn't change this historical fact. (I'm not a KKK member. I just like accurate history to be taught.) |

The saddest part of that is the little girl in the second picture. She's going to grow up being taught that crap and won't know any better.

If you can successfully remove the burning crosses from the symbolism associated with them, and the hatred and intolerance of the assholes doing it, that's actually a pretty cool picture with those three crosses burning.
Like if you were traveling to a foreign country and there was some local village that celebrated the harvest with a big bonfire of these crosses, or other simple symbols, it would be pretty cool. |

I'm surprised to see white-costumed and black-costumed members integrated.

Yeah. They're trying to widen their appeal.

How is it again that the KKK is legal?
I thought they were a hate group - but they've gotten around that somehow? Does anyone know? ETA: the bride and groom - they deserve one another.
