KKK returns to Alabama

The National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan will be in the Valley this weekend. A rally will be held near Elkmont in Limestone County and it's expected to include a cross burning.

I was born and raised in Athens Ala I moved to N.Y. in 1961 I am appalled to here that the klan are becoming visible again. It just shows the racism is alive and well it usually happens more when times are bad.Now they are calling themselves the church of the klan they are playing with god as most white people do they pryed when they blew up the churh in Birmingham with the little girls attending sunday school.There is big difference now blacks will not take that crap anymore.Its all because obama might become the President.

It has nothing to do with Obama.Every few years they pass through and try to get locals stired up. We just ignore them around here and they disapear. I use to live in Chicago and the Nazi's always tried to do the same. I actualy seen more racism there than I do here. It has nothing to do with Obama. As far as racism being alive and well, if you look at history and even the Bible it has been here a long time and I do not think it will ever go away.

KKK 'returning'????? hell, the newshounds not been in Athens then recently, the KKK hold their rallyes almost on the doorsteps of the courthouse.

Not.....They go all over the South trying to get the locals stired up. They show up once a year and we just ignore them.

Well if everybody would just ignore them they would go away, Attention is what they seek and if they dont get it they go back into the woodwork.

[FucktheKKK]

They ain't shit jus like everyone is saying if u ignore them they'll go away. They jus want a little bit of attention because no one really worries about them anymore, they're becoming invisible and they don't like that. They really don't scare me. If they scare you you a BITCH.

They are still out there. They've lost momentum, but they are there. They storm thru these smaller towns trying to get people stirred up. If they are ignored, they go away.

Thay are uneducated and have nothing to offer society. They have each other and that is all. Don't hate them, but pity them.

With the new "robes" they look like the orange cones that you see on the roads when work is being done!

They can buy all of the robes that they want to buy, but it will not change their mentality. These people are stuck in the past. If they ever wake up and realize what year it is, they are really going to be in for a shock!

I was born and raised in LA (Lower Alabama) and now live in the Huntsville area. Like most folks, I pity the Klan members. They don't have anything going for them and so they dress up in sheets and funny hats and run around burning a cross here and there. Must be a boring life style, burn a cross here and there, wash you sheets (if they ever do) and burn another cross. Get a life Klan, the world has passed you by.

hey do you know where you are this is the south and like it says the south will riase again kkk susporter all the way

Well I do beleive they have lightened up alot. Especially since they are supposed to be racist. I was at Shonneys last year right after there hoopla in town. I was really doing some thinking when I actually saw with my own eyes, a KKK member going to the food bar where a black woman was making her plate. Yes he did step back and give her a nasty look but if he was truely racist he would not have eaten food off the same buffet. Am I wrong? Seems he may have slipped up some. I do cherrish the go to hell look the woman gave back to him.
