    Its a classic attempt to scare away a Black family from owning a home. Its also tresspassing on private property and vandalism as well as a hatecrime. I’m sure its one of her white neighbors down the street. You can always spot a KKKlown in your hood. They usually have Dixie flags, bumper stickers, license plates covers, clothing signifying white supremacist related regalias.
    A KKKlown usually shows off his pride by having some kind of Dixie imagery apparel, bumper stickers on their trucks, etc. Sometimes the mere sight of them can point out their KKKlownish characters bases on their behaviors, attitudes, looks and speech. Sometimes they chew skoals, and do METH, while drinking beer on their porch.
    Racist rednecks are quite common in rural areas and backwoods. Its their breeding ground for imbeciled inbreeds.

    I alway look at my local television channel, (WLOX). And I always see some black person on the screen doing something wrong. But I know and others know that black people are not the only people out there doing wrong. If there is something that happens in New Orleans concerning a black person, It makes head lines on WLOX.

    But, for some reason. I didn’t hear any thing about this on WLOX. Nor my local newpaper the sunherald.

    My question is why so cowardly? Come on big hateful men should be ably to confront a woman and tell them how they feel. They won’t because it would be to much like a man to do something like. They have always been cowardly and they will always be cowadly.

    The sign read “KKK Klan”? Don’t the K’s stand for Ku Klux Klan (KKK)?

    The idiot wrote a sign that said: Ku Klux Klan Klan.

    I’ll say it again- these people need to stop going to hate meetings and start going to school.

    I guess its fair to say that its still not safe for Blacks to live alone in rural backwooded areas where dentally challenged inbreeds lurk about.

    Blacks are probably safer in the cities where they usually reside.

    It seems that a little bit of racism lies in you as well “Dark Man.” I mean posting about rednecks, skoal, and the Dixie flag. Get a grip and return to school. Although I do agree with you, some of these are stereotypical about the KKK and some hate groups, I think you are a little childish and have a lack of knowledge when it comes to racism, something I’ve been to school for. Question yourself on racial boundaries before you comment on a subject you lack the knowledge about.

    I would just like to point out to “Dark Man” that there are plenty of black folks out there that enjoy a chew, have bumper stickers/plate covers, and hang African flags in their mirrors. There are also alot of black folks out ther that use Crack, have attitude problems, and use racial slurs, but does this mean that they are a part of a gang that the white folks in the “hood” should be aware of??

    “It seems that a little bit racism lies in you as well “Dark Man”.–Shawn

    Yes indeed. I won’t deny the fact that I am “a little bit” racist towards white racists such as the KKK. So what? If a group of well known racist hoodlums like the KKK are so racist towards nonwhites, then again what’s the problem of being stereotypical of them as they do unto others? Respect doesn’t flow on a one way street. And I could careless of I have offended a KKKlown.

    “I do agree with you.”

    Well if you do, then you realy shouldn’t be so upset with what I wrote simply because I was merely being sarcastic, not “childish”. Have of the stereotypes are technically true, because I grew up in a rural environment, which means that I’ve seen this firsthand. Because of that, it does not necessarily mean that I;

    “have a lack of knowledge when it comes to racism.”

    I’m willing to challenge you on a racism coming a nonwhite perspective such as myself. So bring it on…..

    “there are plenty of black folks out there that enjoy a chew, have bumber stickers/plate covers and have African-American flags on their mirrors.”–Benjamin Harrison

    “African-American flags” is indeed the U.S. flag. Unless you’re an anti-American? Although I’m not “Black” , but its possible that Blacks do Crack as does the rednecks do Crystal Methaphetamines. And Meth is a far more dangerous and deadly. The Blacks I know are good neighbors and straight people(as in drug free). But because I’m a non-Black/nonwhite. I’ve witness and experienced racism from a redneck than a Black folk. That’s because rednecks are common in rural areas.
