KKK Chapter To Hold Confederate Flag Rally On S.C. Capitol Grounds

[DonViejo]

The Ku Klux Klan will hold a protest on the South Carolina capitol grounds over the state's decision to consider removing the Confederate flag, the Post and Courier reported.

Brian Gaines, a spokesman for the South Carolina Budget and Control Board, confirmed to Politico that the Loyal White Knights of the KKK, which is based in Pelham, N.C., reserved the capitol grounds in Columbia on July 18 from 3 to 5 p.m. for the rally. Gaines said that the capitol allows all groups to reserve the grounds for events, regardless of ideology.

The chapter's grand titan, James Spears, told Politico that the group will protest "the Confederate flag being took down for all the wrong reasons."

"It’s part of white people’s culture," Spears said.

1. They, the Charleston community,

Should take a page from the Skokie community. They stopped the neonazi party from marching there back in the late 70s. Was a beautiful thing!

These people just suck. I don't understand how people who claim to follow Christ can be so horrible

5. They've done it for eons, look at the persecutions/inquisitions in the name of their

horrific religions.

6. I know you are obviously right.

You just hope people grow. But, that would be too much to count on

9. I think there is a core of evilness and hated in many people and sadly for some

religion gives to them the backing to practice their hatred against others. When one looks at what some of these individuals are screaming about, all I see is hatred, not any of the lofty goodness they falsely preach.

2. But it's not racist, right?

"...being took down..."?

[Adrahil]

3. Excellent!

Expose the meaning of that flag in grand style. That will virtually guarantee its removal.

7. Defending the Dixie Swastika, trying to restore it's twisted history as "heritage", is not happening.

[Adrahil]

8. Oh, it's "heritage" all right....

A heritage of hate and treason.

It has no place other than the museum, re-enactments, and history books.

I wish we had a "like post" button. I wanna like your post.
