The problem I have is keeping the focus on underclass American blacks even when the topic has nothing to do with them, then having that focus sweep all of us up no matter how law-abiding and professional we may be. Yeah, but that's a lot more fun than discussing rural, white, likely middle class, racist kids.

The KKK are an ideological organization and wearing their gear sends a very specific ideological message. And while it may have been intended as a stunt, the probability these kids didn't know the underlying message approaches zero.

But, which has killed more black people in the last 10 years? 25 years? 50 years? Klan Parenthood.

The KKK also hated Catholics and did lynch a few of them. There's an online museum of pictures of lynchings. If more people were exposed to those, there would probably be less fondness for terrorist groups like the Klan and fewer attempts to change topics under posts.

Of course, no one attempted "to change topics under posts." And no one has expressed anything like "fondness for terrorist groups like the Klan."

It's just common courtesy. There's also a line in the sand. If the girl happens to be offended by the colour green, that doesn't mean everyone else shouldn't wear the colour green. But it's not unreasonable to say it's wrong and promotes a bad atmostphere to go around dressed as KKK, or Nazis. And for all we know, the girl is s a churchgoing, A student who spends her time with diseased orphans. You can't make judgements about people without knowing anything about them.
And yes, the gangbangers are a huge threat. But because they aren't being dealt with properly does not mean we should stop caring about people emulating or becoming more accepting of the KKK. Both are wrong. Both should be rejected. Period.

I think she'd be an excellent VP, but maybe not President. Not conservative enough for me. But that's just me. She has quite a few excellent qualities and seems quite able. And yeah, the Dems would go absolutely off the walls with frustration.

I didn't know the KKK lynched Catholics. I do know there was heavy anti-Catholicism and which is what made John Kennedy's win for President a "major" event.

At a second glance, it appears that you have something there. I haven't looked extensively for lack of time. There were two Catholic Italians lynched in Florida, but those who did it were not wearing KKK outfits. They were wearing fancy dinner jackets and the like.

The KKK and the German Third Reich have both become easy targets of racism and insensitivity to races other than the Northern European one. Blonde, blue eyed The KKK and the German Third Reich have both become easy targets of racism and insensitivity to races other than the Northern European one. Blonde, blue eyed Right, the poor Kluckers and Nazis, victims of the insensitivity of non Northern Europeans. Personally, they're the scum of the earth.

....And for all we know, the girl is s a churchgoing, A student who spends her time with diseased orphans. You can't make judgements about people without knowing anything about them. And for all I know she could be part of a girls gang at the school, too! You see the best in things I guess; I don't because I've seen what the constant influence of the rap culture does. On the other hand, I wasn't suggesting that the KKK was something to be lauded, either. You, by the same token that you are inclined to believe the black girl is "Sunday-go-to-meeting Church Pure" could be just as wrong in the assumption. The dress-up scheme could have been poor humor (have you ever seen South Park and the social plays they put on?) Your 'line-in-the-sand' these days tends only to be for PC for whites to not offend blacks; they appear, through the movies, music, television, and every other venue to have full immunity from question about what they feel, say, or do simply because they are black. It is a double-double standard, pure and simple. Regardless, nice discussion of ideas, though. Thanks for not making cracks (which force equal responses) about one's intelligence.

I think you missed the whole point of this...those kids probably didn't know the significance of what they were doing just as Prince Harry didn't know when he dressed up in the Hitler uniform a while back. I don't need someone to tell me about the KKK, they can ask "Sheets Byrd" about it. IF the subject of the KKK wasn't supposed to be discussed, why then was the KKK mentioned in the article?

Maybe these kids should be sent to re-education camp, along with Prince Harry who dressed as a Nazi for one of his costume parties.
To: day10
Students and administrators in Rising Sun, Indiana, say they're upset it happened and shocked the students would do it. The principal made the students take off the outfits right away, but the damage was done.Was there any reason to get this upset? Had there been racial tension at the school? Had the KKK made any appearances? Or were these just kids being goofy?
