    Mr James Elkins and all Aryan Knights of the
    Klu Klux Klan should not hate other races of people
    because they should realize that they have Black
    Blood running through their veins.We all have been
    mixed through blood and there is no pure race on
    this planet. Thank you! Carl Banks Jr.

    Is it okay to call oneself THE RACE?

    I think police departments in major cities and not so major cities should run undercover investigations and determine what police or other “movers and shakers” are kluckers.

    The klan members are the ones that need to be deported, if they think they are a pure breed let them find a country that thinks so too, because any true American does not believe this. This land was built on imigrants, and the original Americans were the Indians, so the so called whites that the klan thinks they are are the real intruders. They are just stupid people that want some kind of attention to make them feel better, because in reality they are nothing to no one except themselves. Legends in their own minds per say, because no body likes them.

    A Police officer is the one to hold the public’s trust, besides protecting and serving the public. When an rogue cop joins such groups they violate that public’s trust. Lending citizens to reluctantly calling the cops when a crime arises. If gives the entire police force a bad karma, making harder for them to fight crime if they can’t get the public’s coorporation.

    Membership in the Klan is the same as having memberships in the Bloods, Crips, or the Mexican Mafia. Even with those who don’t hold memberships but share the exact same logical idealogy, should also be expulsed from the force. When you are a cop, you are in the environment of working with a diverse groups of people.
