KKK invites NC residents to ‘whites only’ cross burning

reprise85 · 05-23-2012, 03:44 PM

Residents in Reidsville, North Carolina have begun receiving fliers inviting them to a May 26 Ku Klux Klan cross burning intended for “white people only.”

Reidsville Police Department Captain Ken Hanks confirmed to Raw Story that people in several neighborhoods had reported receiving the invitations.

Asked if the fliers had broken any law, Hanks replied, “Not that I’m aware of,” and added that the matter was not being investigated.

“I’m a little bothered by it,” Annie P. Pinnix, who received a flier, told the Winston-Salem Journal on Monday.

Pinnex said her husband found the flier in their driveway. It reads:

“Join us, the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, for a rally and cross lighting, Saturday, May 26, Harmony, North Carolina. Free Admition [sic]-White People Only. No alcohol, drugs, fighting, glass bottles or weapons. Free on site camping-all major motels in area. Souvenirs. Vendors. Food and beverages for Sale. Cross lighting at dusk-a white unity event. Live country band. Security provided by LWK.”

Nimrod's Son · 05-23-2012, 04:17 PM

yeah i don't think they'd need to worry about a bunch of mexicans showing up for camping and souvenirs

reprise85 · 05-23-2012, 04:30 PM

yo soy el mejor · 05-23-2012, 04:31 PM

is this supposed to be shocking? what is the point?

Toby · 05-23-2012, 04:32 PM

What was the point?

Toby · 05-23-2012, 04:32 PM

I'm surprised they are using such an ancient method for advertising their event.

Toby · 05-23-2012, 04:32 PM

Social media is where its at, yo.

yo soy el mejor · 05-23-2012, 04:48 PM

white people is rich, but they stupid.

reprise85 · 05-23-2012, 04:51 PM

well the fact that the best they could do as far as anti-KKK is “I’m a little bothered by it" and that they are setting it up like a community event

no it's not shocking, but what the hell

MyOneAndOnly · 05-23-2012, 05:15 PM

I'm not shocked by anything. In my neighborhood yesterday a school suspended 65 kids for riding their bikes to school because racism

MyOneAndOnly · 05-23-2012, 05:19 PM

I've been all over NC? And spent some time in that area. this is not in any way surprising

Nimrod's Son · 05-23-2012, 06:44 PM

i went to college in a city where klan rallies and accompanying riots were commonplace. sounds like you live a sheltered life to be so shocked by this, reprise85

I was up in Hayden ID once just passing through when I saw a kkk parade. There's a lot of white supremacists living up in that area. Once they got closer to the next town a bunch of people started beating them up and throwing rocks at them. It wasn't accepted very well at all. They usually just hide in the backwoods and come out once a year to get groceries.

Yeah, but to put it in perspective, you were a college student during the FDR administration.

it is actually pretty hilarious that he uses his experience from 20 years ago to try to tell people what is normal now, even without any exaggeration.

Doesn't stuff like this go against one of your amendment thingies?

Shallowed · 05-25-2012, 12:21 PM

Like it's not fair that they're only allowing white folk to attend the cross-burning. Maybe some coloured folk would be interested in watching too.
