Hey Skinhit, calm down.  This article was posted on JoeUser, and Whip is exclusively a JoeUser poster.  You're the one who's playing on the other side of the fence because it cross-posts on WC.

That's a fact, but he still gets six from me because what he said is the truth!

Nasty little cuss, ain't she?

cplair, they didn't chase me at all. they weren't happy with me, though. i was called a few names i had never heard before . the really funny thing is the guy they were supposedly in town to scare was actually walking amongst them. donnie was walking amongst them talking to numerous members of the klan asking whey they hated blacks. remember, donnie is black.....has been all his life. it seems the bunch that was here that day backed down when they were confronted with a crowd of citizens that let them know they weren't welcome. they tried to put up a cross on the courthouse lawn but it was taken from them. i'm sure that doesn't happen everywhere but it sure did here. i was proud of my fellow citizens of the town.

Damn Snidley!

 Your facts are wrong lady! Your speaking of the second version of the Klan. As far as it original purpose? It was to promote white supremacy in the aftermath of the American Civil War. Get your facts straight. Geez. And a fraternal organization? Cmon liitle whip, your not that naive are you. haha.

@SanChonino....... Skinhit doen't have to do anything. I think your a "little-whipped" it sounds like haha.

Thank you!

At least don't take bunch of lies with you to your deathbed!

Thanx PJD!

Thank you also PDJ!

Does the connection have to make sense?

For example, if somebody put Nader in the outfit of an ambulance chaser, I would think it's hilarious (because he is a lawyer). But if somebody made him out to be a new Hitler, I wouldn't think it's funny, because I don't see a connection.

More like,.... whatever it takes to stay in the spotlight.

She wasn't talking about the second version of the Klan, unless you believe that was the one that "became militant during the reconstruction era after the civil war".

She says the Klan was a fraternal organisation that became militant during the reconstruction era and was led by an ex-Confederate general.

You say it was an organisation to promote white supremacy in the aftermath of the Civil War. I can see how she got her facts "wrong".

Except that she didn't. She was just a bit more precise than you.

In fact I know few people who know more about the Klan than LW. And it was a fraternal organisation. They do see themselves as brothers.

As for the white supremacist views of the Klan... well, duh. Excellent work, Sherlock! (In fact the SECOND version of the Klan was more into that than the first, but that is perhaps beside the point.)

I still don't see why it is funny to imply a connection between Palin and the KKK. The KKK _hate_ George Bush and his policies; they certainly don't like John McCain, and a _woman_ politician married to an Eskimo is certainly not to their liking. Plus the KKK are not really into the idea of powerful women and Sarah Palin is too much on McCain's side. And what about handicapped children? What do you think is the KKK's view on handicapped children of white women and Eskimos?

HIS-STORY: And it is so painfully obvious from this rather bias analogy that you don't have a single ounce of Black History in you!  Not a clue.  I knew you wouldn't attempt to read "Conclave From Kokomo," because had you done so, we wouldn't be here.  Thus you can believe what you want, but the truth is there.

Yet you have such insight about the plight of people you refuse to know.

Do you even know what the lyrics to "Wade In The Water" mean?  Ever hear of the "Midnight Raiders?"  Your chronology is distorted.

Study the truth and not someone else's bedtime story, because right about now, this is so disgusting, I'm going no further with this.

Blatant and willful ignorance is a shame, but attempting to open eyes which wants to remain shut is a bigger shame.  I guess terrorists don't exist until a plane knocks a tower down.

Just call me by my slave name Toby

For Leauki and LittleWhip who knows US history better than anyone:  Ignorance is not bliss kids

Born poor in Chapel Hill, Tenn., in 1821, Forrest amassed a fortune as a plantation owner and slave trader, importing Africans long after the practice had been made illegal. At 40, he enlisted as a private in the Confederate army at the outset of the Civil War, rising to a cavalry general in a year.

Nah partner, what's hilarious is your inept ability to see no further than your own nose!  And it obvious they don't teach no better in Ireland, so you can keep your low opinion.  How in the world can you tell someone to study when you don't?  Your ignorance is comical.  Now go on and jump on another soapbox!

Oh, the above info was written by a white woman, so there goes your bias black history theory

May I suggest that you study further on subject matters that you have no clue about rather than speaking from stupidity

His name is not Toby

I find it hilarious how you completely ignore everything she says and then simply fall into a discussion about black studies.

It is your chronology that is distorted. She is talking about the reconstruction era, after the Civil War. Slavery was outlawed at that point.

"Wade In The Water" I understand is a 20th century song referring to Moses and his people. The urban legend about those songs being coded messages for fugitive slaves is perhaps what you are referring to. Is that what they teach in universities these days?

(Do you believe that fugitive slaves needed to be told that they should walk in water to escape hounds? It's not rocket science and slaves probably knew a lot more about blood hounds than those who later tried to find coded meaning in their songs.)

I think you studied black history too much and forgot about common sense. Studying anything that is specific to black or white people is stupid. Try studying history instead of black history.
