The KKK in the USA

[minux]

With news headlines around the world reading lines like

• Assassination fears dog Obama
• Delivers speech behind bulletproof glass
• Ku Klux Klan predicts a backlash

How long do you think it will be before these redneck bible bashing retards attempt to assassinate Barrak Hussein Obama?

Do you think that all KKK members should be rounded up and charged under the USA's terrorism laws?

If you do not think they are terrorists, state your case.

For me, I can foresee an assassination attempt within the next 12 months. Not that I would like to see it, but lets face it, some of the members you see on TV representing the KKK are not exactly the brightest people on the planet(although they are much like religious leaders and are able to talk people into believing anything). There is no reason why Obama cannot have these people arrested and locked up in Guantanemo Bay.

By defintion(see notes) these clowns have already committed terrorism in some of the statements they have made to the press today. So what are peoples thoughts on this?

Unfortunately he won't last too long, I think. Seems like a good bloke to be the president, but the radicals generally are fairly short-lived. I guess it'll only be a matter of time.

i think its a delicate issue that would be why he hasnt put them in jail black president throws black hating group in jail dunno would cause an uproar i reackon (not tryen to be racist at all)

[nicko]

i dont believe there will be much of a problem. In the short term yes some hill billie will try something stupid but i cant see the president of the united states of america being killed in this day and age. Just because he isnt behind bullet proof glass doesnt mean he isnt bullet proof.

[alexp36]

I haven't seen any coverage of those headlines you quoted. Is there a news site I can go to which has some of it?

Have to say I thought the KKK was pretty quiet these days. I have no idea what sort of an organisation it is in 2008. I can imagine though that a group like that would not be too thrilled with their new president... heh, I hope the very thought of an african american president is torturing their nasty little minds.

i Hate to think of at coming to the worst...
but rednecks can be fairly retarded, they'r easily brainwashed, but they dont know it.
on TV last night a woman from the McCain Rally was interviewd and said.
"im not happy that Obama osama is now our president, he is a terrorist, and im scared for our country"

quite frankly i think its bull**** how these KKK memebers(rednecks) can think like this and be so narrowminded. Obama is making jobs for them and putting the troops in the right place. everyone else in the world Knew that bush Sucked...but the texans n rednecks thaught he was god.
Pathetic.

[minux]

Obama is making jobs for them and putting the troops in the right place.

How is he making jobs for them?

Obama plans on cutting military funding by 60% but not cutting military numbers. I am sure that will make soldiers happy. Moving troops to the right places? How so?

I know this is going off topic, but I am sick to death of people blaming George bush for Americas financial crisis, it was Bush who wanted Bill Clintons lawws changed in regards to sub prime lending which the DEMOCRATS knocked back.

[VP-666]

I wasn't goin on clear evidence, just what i have heard..
n i didn't say george bush caused the financial crisis, he was just a dumbass.
hes been named one of the USA's worst presidents.

[Ozzie]

You touched on a good subject here minux
I personally think the african american communities will get cocky and think they all rule America which is gunna end up in a WW3, Its not only the KKK that has a grudge with them its the Koreans and Russians ect... aswell, Lets just say it doesnt stop at the k.k.k.

All and all I just hope petrol prices go down lol

[CANYONERO]

heh, I hope the very thought of an african american president is torturing their nasty little minds.

yeah i hope it is! he seems to be a lot better than what they have now. i dont see the big deal with an african american president. i see him as a human being, just like every presedent before him. cant believe in this day and age racism is still a massive issue.

[Lumps of cheese]

The KKK is still pretty active and you can bet there will be more coverage of their crazy rantings now Obama has won the election.
I wouldn't think that he will go his term without an attempt on his life but hopefully i'm wrong.

[VP-666]

All and all I just hope petrol prices go down lol

Good call.

^ WOW ^

There was a lot of anti-Bush sentiment, and they kept him alive for the 8 years he was in office. I'm hopeful that if they can keep Bush alive, they can keep anyone alive. There may be an attempt, who can say? I just hope to hell if there is, they fail.

I'm not a lawyer, so I can't say if they technically count as terrorists, but there is no place for them on this planet - or any other supremacists, white or otherwise.

Obama might just be the best thing that's happened to the world in a long time, nothing to do with the fact he's black, that's nice - but largely irrelevant to me - it's because he seems like he has a handle on the fact that it's not Ok for the USA to just do whatever the **** they want.

Southpark put it best: "What? They told us in school everyone loves America!? Why does one third of the world hate us?"... "We hate you because you don't realise one third of the world hates you!"

You don't need to be a lawyer.

The dictionary states what a terrorist is, pretty simple really.

If anyone else wishes to coin the term "######". Expect an instant ban.

[jules]

US presidents don't make many public appearances. when they do its usually behind bullet proof glass. it's different to john howard's morning walks where anyone could turn up if they dodged the ASIO detail.

[danja]

You don't need to be a lawyer.

If you're talking about rounding them up and jailing them under terrorism laws, you need to talk about the legal definition of terrorist, not the dictionary definition.

I personally don't have any time for KKK and the like, but if we're talking about taking their freedoms away, you want due process to occur - otherwise are you any better than they are?

I guess that is something they should of thought about before they started taking away blacks rights eh?

I think it is going to be a hoot watching how the KKK are handled.

The times are a chang-in


Anything or anyone is better than Hillary Rodham Clinton

KENTUCKY - USA - Imperial Wizard, Ronald Edwards has stated that, "anything is better than Hillary Clinton."



White Christian Supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan has endorsed Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States of America.

Speaking from his Kentucky office in Dawson Springs, the Imperial Wizard exclaimed that anything or anyone is better than having that "crazy ass bitch" as President.

This is the first time in Klan history that any member of the KKK has ever publicly supported an African American candidate for the presidency.

KKK lodges all over America have been gathering and holding rallies supporting the black presidential candidate.





KKK members in Tennessee rally against Hillary Clinton and support Barack Obama



Grand Turk Cletus Monroe has also been very vocal about the election and has donated thousands of dollars to Obama's election fund.

"The boy's gonna do it. My Klan group has donated up to $250,000 to the Obama fund. Anything is better than Hillary Clinton. Hell I'll even adopt a black kid from Africa before I vote for Hillary."

"A few years back we were lynching negroes. Now we're gonna vote for one to be president of the US of motherfu**ing A, damn it! Anyone or anything is better than Hillary Clinton - anything!!"

Placards for Barack Obama have been put up around the Klan's Headquarters and the KKK have announced a television ad campaign to support the African American candidate.

Someone should tell them rednecks his white and he has only been in the sun too long.
He was raised by his white grandmother he has a good balance between both.
He is defiantly a better breed then some of them things that use hate as their way of life all the time.

... but there is no place for them on this planet - or any other supremacists, white or otherwise....

I can't believe groups like the KKK exist in 2008. As long as the USA has freedom of speech as a cornerstone of their constitution then we will continue to have groups like this. Yes Minux, they are terrorists by your definition, but if any government tried to throw them into Guantanamo Bay, you watch these cards get put on the table: freedom of speech, unconstitutional, "I've got rights!" (Spoken like the Redneck in Bad Boys 2, to which Will Smith replies "You've got the right to shut the **** up!").

I heard something interesting a while back that sums up Obama's character and education and what we can expect:

The last few Presidents got a college education at Yale: George W. Bush, Bill Clinton at one point, and George H.W Bush. Obama went to Harvard. So did JFK.

[danja]

I guess that is something they should of thought about before they started taking away blacks rights eh?

I think it is going to be a hoot watching how the KKK are handled.

All I'm trying to say is if you take away their rights and apply summary justice, are you really solving the problem the KKK present? In one sense, you're almost stepping into their shoes.

If the laws are in place, and are accepted by society, and people are guilty according to those laws, then please do throw them in jail or whatever the appropriate punishment is! - but if you just round them up and imprison them because they are KKK subscribers, how different is that from rounding up blacks and lynching them? It might be milder, but it doesn't mean it's right.

If it's true that there are KKK chapters who openly support Obama, that's got to mean something right? It doesn't absolve them of all, but it's a damn big step ahead of where they were 50 years ago.

**** I can't believe I'm sticking my neck out for these guys...

the whole point of the KKK is to oppress blacks, jews and catholics. it was a joke that they endorsed obama.

[pow3rslave]

the kkk was declared a terrorist orginisation and still is listed as one. not sure of when, 60s i think.


edit
whoops, declared a terrorist organisation in the 1870s, but is still considered a terrorist group.

[SAV_117]

i think it just needs to be done carefully obama wont stay in i dont think im with minux wait 12 months it will be interesting to see who has the resources to take it to far and who is going to help if you understand my meaning
