Ku Klux Klan Now Recruiting Black, Jewish and Homosexual Members

White supremacist organization, the Ku Klux Klan has decided to expand their membership by accepting Jews, African Americans, and those of Hispanic origin. In efforts to “re-brand” the notorious violent group, ‘the new Klan’ has been selected as its new name, but as an ode to tradition, incoming affiliates will still be expected to wear the white robes, masks and conical hats.

Instead of being a representation of hatred, the Rocky Mountain Knights have adopted the ‘a strong America’ as their new slogan. According to the organizer, John Abarr, “White supremacy is the old Klan. This is the new Klan. The KKK is for a strong America.”

Abarr settled on the change after meeting with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and stated,”I thought it was a really good organization, I don’t feel we should be separate.” However, KKKers believe their leader is only looking to advance his political career and is not truly interested in diversifying the group.

My brother converted from Judaism to Sufiism (Islam) and waited until the eve of his wedding to tell our father.

Dad was outraged and wanted my sister and I to join him in ostracizing our brother for the wedding. I wouldn't go along with it.

My father tried to engage me. He asked "What would you think of me if I joined the Ku Klux Klan?" I replied, "I don't think they take Jews, Dad."

He ignored my attempt at humor and repeated the question. My answer was in triplicate:

1) You'll always be my father.
2) And I'll always be your daughter. (With a sigh)
3) Don't expect me to help you burn any crosses.

Totally pissed off at me and disgusted, he left me alone for the rest of the week-end.
