Atlanta (CNN) -- A North Georgia chapter of the Ku Klux Klan has applied to "adopt" a stretch of highway in Union County, Georgia, according to paperwork obtained by CNN on Monday.

The application, which would allow the white supremacy group to receive state recognition for cleaning up a one-mile portion of a highway, was filed by the International Keystone Knights of the KKK on May 21.

"We're not a hate group," Chambers insisted Monday. "We don't hate anybody. We're just white people that want to stick with white people. The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) wants to stick with black people. Just because I'm white, I can't stick with my own group?"

When this topic came up in one place I lived, the local government stopped the practice of adopting sections of highway.

I fully support the KKK in their effort to adopt a highway as it will provide the good people a whole mile stretch of road where they can all go dump their garbage.

I always wanted to start a club for happy party-goers called Gay Bashers. Then we could adopt a highway here in CA.

I think this happened in Indiana about 5-10 years ago and the state let the KKK sponsor it. Then the state renamed that stretch of highway the Rosa Parks Memorial Highway. Kind of fitting since she was a cleaning lady. Also pretty clever.

They can start their clean-up effort by putting their racist attitudes in the trash.

Perhaps that explains why, in the article, it says that "the Missouri Department of Transportation eventually kicked the KKK out of the program because members were not picking up trash as agreed".

The KKK needs to give up; there are so many HATE-able BLACK institutions, they don’t have a chance to be the #1 hated.

Terrible idea. When they cleaned the highway, people would throw things at them and an undercover cop might get hurt.

Hundreds of Black organizations are build around the hatred of one and have themselves become
the new radical racist movement. In fact the Black movement has done to themselves
what they claim to object to, and that would be segregation from whites.

Not one MSM outlet will allow their vitriolic hate speech to enter the airwaves,
the same airwaves that Wright has been protected from.

I also find it ironic that I cannot find one single Democrat who will
explain how Robert KKK Byrd became a powerful influence in the Democrat party
for decades, and to point out one connection from the (R) to the fringe group called the KKK
without using the Six degrees of separation theory.


The Boogie man theory.
