Arkansas KKK Billboard Upsetting Residents
A billboard in Harrison, Arkansas promoting a Ku Klux Klan radio show isn’t sitting well with locals.
[su_center_ad]
[It] advertises Web-based “whiteprideradio.com” and is leased by the Knights Party of Zinc, formerly the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Knights Party national director Thom Robb told The Harrison Daily Times that the group is leasing the space for a year. Robb was national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which The Southern Poverty Law Center says Robb renamed the Knights Party.
The billboard shows a young girl holding a dog and reads “It’s NOT Racist to (love) Your People,” with an image of a heart in place of the word love.
A local website supporting the billboard calls those who don’t like it “fools.”
The Harrison Task Force on racial relations and the rest of their ilk, who proudly crowed about running the racists out, better think twice. Sometimes it is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. [su_csky_ad]

But they used a little girl. And a puppy. How can that be racist? (He said sarcastically.)

raising a child to be a racist is child abuse. their children will grow to become miserable asswipes just as they are. pathetic.

does the Scalise programe air before or after the overly chubby Viagra addict with the gold colored mic?

A hate group is a hate group no matter how much love they have for “their own.” Basically they are saying that because they “love their own,” they are justified to hate others? Still doesn’t fly in my book.

there’s a sickness in your country that has yet to be cured regardless of all the incredible work by wonderful people.

“Sometimes it is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt,” says the Ku Klux Klown, with absolutely no self-awareness… Loving your people is not racist. When that love of your people is expressed in terms of the inferiority of those NOT of your clique, that’s racism. You can get all fancy and call it “merde” but it still smells like shit to me.

I propose a round of polite golf applause for the locals who oppose this thing

“It’s NOT Racist to (love) Your People.”…..well, yes it is when what you are promoting is segregation and creating an “us and them” mindset where you are superior.
It’s called tribalism and religion has used this tactic for millennia to separate people, you’re just using race.

It happens to be called freedom of speech…what America is all about.
veggiedude January 3rd, 2015 at 11:35 am
And yet you can’t shout FIRE in a crowded theater. And what if you shout ‘God is Great’ in arabic on a plane – where’s your freedom of speech there?

Moron.

If you need a detailed explanation…you are too stupid to grasp the concept!

There is nothing on that sign that promotes violence, unlike a sermon from Louis Farrakhan does.
When you have an idiot give him a bullhorn so that more people can see how big of idiot they are.
Then you let public opinion shun them. The more informed people are the better choices they can make. And that includes the rantings of idiots.
That’s what freedom of speech does.

Except for right wing MSM like Richard Poplawski and Byron Williams (Glenn Beck), Scott Roeder, (Bill O’Reilly), Jim D. Adkisson, (Fox News), , Jerad and Amanda Miller, Eric Frein, and all the MSM love of the Bundy Ranch wackos, and elected officials like; “Women? Let’s hurl some acid at those female democratic Senators who won’t abide the mandates they want to impose on the private sector.” …
Rep. Nan Hayworth (R-N.Y.)
Rep. MICHAEL MCCAUL (R-TX) ” They fought
against tyranny and oppressive taxes, do that sound familiar? We’re continuing that revolution right here in Austin, Texas today. Thomas Jefferson said the Tree of Liberty will be fed by the blood of tyrants and patriots. You are the modern day patriots…”
When Democrat Tom Perriello’s brother’s home
propane line was sliced by a right-wing protestor, Republican Congressional
Committee spokesman ANDY SERE responded by defending the person who cut it.
“What you’re seeing is a frustration among his constituents who believe
he’s not listening to them,” he said. There was a “bring your guns
to Washington” day held by the Right-wing Western Rifle Shooters Assoc,
held on April 19, 2010. (The anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing.)…..

Would much rather someone say what they believe instead of hide it.
That was the point of what I said. Let them speak.
I could post a host of the same from other people from different views. The point isn’t what they say, but whether they should be allowed to say it.
OldLefty January 3rd, 2015 at 1:26 pm
That’s what EVERYBODY says.
As for what they should be allowed to say; obscenity and fighting words; words that would incite a reasonable person to violence.
As for what is ALLOWED, but passively tolerated and rewarded, that just says a lot about audience.
I thought the point was, ” NOTHING promotes violence, unlike a sermon from Louis Farrakhan does.”.
amongoose January 3rd, 2015 at 3:12 pm
No, the point was a comparison, one is incitement this is not a call to commit violence.
There is no right not to be offended.
Am a libertarian, one persons rights end where the next person’s nose begins, and that would include speech inciting violence against them.

I was simply responding to;
“There is nothing on that sign that promotes violence, unlike a sermon from Louis Farrakhan does.”
amongoose January 4th, 2015 at 8:47 am
Rodger that.
Wish we could ship all the idiots to a deserted island and let ’em duke it out, but, freedom has it’s costs as well as benefits.
OldLefty January 4th, 2015 at 8:54 am
I agree.
amongoose January 4th, 2015 at 8:58 am
My dad used to say there’s only one thing you can do with an idiot and that’s let him be an idiot.
When he does figure it out, it is usually painful.
OldLefty January 4th, 2015 at 8:59 am
IF he figures it out.
amongoose January 4th, 2015 at 9:05 am
unfortunately true, all you can do is hope,
and try to keep from hurting yourself laughing when it does.
OldLefty January 4th, 2015 at 9:40 am
Or crying, sometimes.

Unfortunately, the Constitution protects their right to spread their “message”. As someone who believes in the Constitution, I have to defend the rights of even the most despicable a$$holes, to spread their vitriol.
“I may not like what you have to say, but I’ll defend to my death, your right to say it”.

I do not see where the sign says KKK,….is it racist to have a Black only college? or a Black Only Congressional Caucus?,……is Black pride different than White pride?
arc99 March 2nd, 2015 at 3:35 pm
Since black colleges were created as a direct result of Jim Crow segregation and since black colleges admit students of all races, no it is not racist to have a black only college.
Likewise for the Congressional Black Caucus, it was the pervasive racism in this country which created the need for such a group originally formed when a grand total of 3 members of the House of Representatives was black.
Black pride is most certainly different than white pride since black pride is not based on the notion that people with different skin colors are less deserving of the rights and privileges of citizenship. Nor does black pride rely on or utilize symbols representing an act of treason (Confederate Stars and Bars) against the United States.
