Indiana University Students Mistake Priest for KKK Member

On Monday, students at Indiana University Bloomington mistook a priest for a Klu Klux Klan member, taking to social media to express their fear of the alleged Klansman, who they claimed was carrying a whip, and dressed in “white robes.”

Students and others at Indiana university are ignorant and focused on falsely accusing people of racism.

A mass email sent to students accused a priest of being a KKK member holding a whip. The email also said, "Please PLEASE PLEASE be careful out there tonight, always be with someone and if you have no dire reason to be out of the building, I would recommend staying indoors if you’re alone.”

When they finally admitted they were wrong the email said, "a person saw white robes and what looked to them like a weapon, got scared (rightfully so), warned people, warned staff, which in turn caused me to warn my residents because I need to look out for my residents, which in turn made it spread.”

“Then my residents, terrified, come running to me, saying yeah the report must be true, they saw him and couldn‘t believe there was a klansmember [sic] with a whip,” he explained. “And I see this picture. It’s a priest. With a rosary.”

Students were literally "terrified" at seeing a priest with a rosary.

Priests always terrify servants of Satan.

For many brainwashed millenials, both a priest and KKK member are both things they have never seen, and are only part of their fantasy world.

They’re too ignorant to function in the adult world.They’ll sequester themselves in their parent’s basements for a few decades to figure things out.

and if you have no dire reason to be out of the building

I don't think that word means quite what the author thinks it means.

For many of us Gen-Xers, the fact that these brats are this retarded, is job security.

The unfortunate thing is that these brats will be running things when we are old.

Although Gill clarified that there was no threat on campus, he made sure to remind students that their fears were legitimate because Klan members have caused unrest on Indiana University’s campus in the past: “Now, I get it why a person would be scared. There in fact HAVE been klansmembers [sic] on the campus spurting hate speech, but never have they been reported with a weapon. So yeah, if it was in fact a weapon and a threat, it’s a good thing to warn a friend. So when someone warns other people, we need to be cautious.

They treat these students as if they were confused 5 year old children. The students are 18 - 22 years of age. Many of their fellow citizens have fought wars and achieved careers by that age. The constant patronizing of the students will not benefit them in later life.

This is from a Reddit thread from someone who said he was with Fr Jude -

They came up and said, "Hey, is that a Klan outfit?". He replied, "No, I'm a priest". One of them said that priests don't usually dress like that. He said "Some of us do, I'm like a monk and a priest. I'm a friar". They said they thought monks usually wear black. He said that some of them wear white, they're called Dominicans. It ended with, "So you don't hate black people?" "No, of course not!" They left not looking entirely convinced. It wasn't a huge deal, but they were definitely confrontational about it with their tone and the whole shop just got quiet. Kind of awkward.

The saddest thing is that she had no idea what a priest’s outfit looks like.
Highly educated, this one.

KKK members on college campuses are a HUGE problem.

Good thing they are gun free zones,
