The robes should be preserved, just as Auschwitz is still standing for the most part, so we will remember the terror and hate that the KKK used to instill. Yes, they were terrible, but our museums are full of artifacts from terrible times and we all know that no one is condoning the organizations or people that used them, merely telling the truth about history. I have seen a lot of you people crab about Dems rewriting history but you seem to be wanting to rewrite this part of history!
It was bad, and actually they are still around, just as the Nazis are still around after all these years, but no one takes them seriously any more. All this fuss is for nothing.

Hiz Honor from Detroit is the only one who appreciates this non-story being turned into news.
The press missed an opportunity to have an honest discussion about race relations. Instead, they turned it into evil intolerant white guy won't burn the robe.
I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with this piece of history, ugly as it is.

My Son and I were in Howell last year. It was a very nice place and the people were very friendly.

No way. All that does is create uneeded press.
The best thing possible was to lowball them so they don't make any money off that shit.
Unfortunatly, the idiot politicians didn't let that happen. They went for big bucks. The blue robe went for $5400+

My Son and I were in Howell last year. It was a very nice place and the people were very friendly. They are. Especially the old timers. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that 99% of us don't think like Miles.
I'm glad you saw our real side of our county.
