The KKK is on the Rise

In a recent email exchange, I saw Paul Hue's response to news that the KKK is making another comeback. (They seem to do so every 40 years or so.) His statement was, "A tiny group has become slightly less tiny."

I have to say, I'm a member of some "tiny" groups. Growing chapters in 20 states does not fit the definition of "tiny".

From the story linked above:

Today's KKK doesn't have to rally in public places. Instead, they can hide on the Internet and secretly spreading their hate message to a whole new generation and a bigger audience.

They are doing that by getting to a larger audience using streaming video, advertising white power rallies and concerts, even broadcasting a new Klan newscast.

The anti racist group's research found states with growing Klan chapters not just in the south but in Michigan, Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

But regardless, the real message is that Klan members, sympathizers and like-minded organizations and individuals could be anywhere. You don't know what the guy in the cubicle down the hall is doing on his off hours...

White People Rioting Over Sports

I imagine nothing stupider or more uncivilized than randomly destroying property and harming other humans over a sports match. OK, beating and executing people for violating your religious superstitions, including cartoonists. But this is also extremely stupid. Do only honkies do this? Ignorant crackers in the US stage nihilistic riots when their collegiate sports teams win or lose big games, and sometimes do this for pro sports games. In Europe this honkey misbehavior seems to be even worse and more frequent. Here we have Italians killing a police officer and severely wounding another with an explosive. Perhaps an indication of why honkies are getting outperformed by Asians on standardized tests and other measures of academic success?
