The Hot Seat

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill

News from 'Planet Z': KKK peacelovers!

It is a rising opinion of mine that some Americans, chose to live in separate imagined reality not our own. How else could sentences like:

In morning testimony, the former mayor of this small east Alabama town, Harlan Majure, testified as a character witness for the defense.

Under cross-examination, Majure, who was mayor in the 1990s, said he was not aware Killen was a member of the white-supremacist group, but that the part-time preacher's Klan membership would not change his opinion.

Majure said the Klan "did a lot of good up here" and said he was not personally aware of the organization's bloody past.

"I know some things about the Ku Klux Klan that a lot of people don't know," he said. "As far as I know it's a peaceful organization."

There are those living among you who are not of this earth...

  • Right. The KKK is a vestiage of a painful and racist past which many people to this day are still trying to move past, and if I had my way, I'd eradicate every last trace of it and anything else like it. Oh, yeah why haven't you answered my last email with anything? I need some kind of feedback here...
