Julian Smith 6th Period "Recent KKK Recruitment"
Recently Across America people have come home to their house's to find plastic bags containing candy and recruitment forms from the KKK. These packages are delivered to the homes of anyone even to people who aren't eligible to belong to the KKK. The flyers say "save our land join the clan" and includes a telephone number and a website. The voicemail on the number left ends with the phrase "if it ain't white it ain't right, white power". It is estimated that there are between 5,000 and 8,000 Klan members nation wide, divided among dozens of divergent groups. Its terrible that in our supposedly highly advanced society we still have so much ignorance and hate.
Amen
ReplyDeleteAdvertising something that has been written in our textbooks, taught to almost everyone, and widely considered as one of the darkest moments of our history is unsettling. Why can't we just learn from our mistakes?
ReplyDeleteNot only are they recruiting new people but they have members in positions of power over minority communities (i.e. Deputy Chief David Borst and Officer George Hunnewell).
ReplyDeleteThis is so unsettling and disgusting. Seems like their organization is quickly dying out if they're seeking members from every part of town, regardless of physical attributes. What disturbs me the most is the fact that they are leaving candies for these people....so gross. I personally would report them to the police for trespassing. (Azra)
