The KKK
is Recuriting and Rebranding. They are calling for White America to "wake up".
In South
Carolina, the local Klan is using candy and the slogan “ Save our land. Join
the Klan". Robert Jones, the Imperial Klaliff of the sect, the Loyal White
Knights, told FOX Carolina that Saturday was one of three yearly night rides in
which Klan members distribute literature overnight. According to FOX, the
leader called his group a civil rights organization, not a hate group. The
“Klan Hotline” was dialed by a reporter, and among other things a male voice
said on the voice mail recording, the message ended with, “always remember: if
it ain’t white, it ain’t right. White power.”
KKK
literature recently surfaced in Lake Butler, a small Florida town. Flyers
wrapped in plastic and containing candy were thrown on yards in the town during
the night. The flyer called for “White America (to) Wake Up” and contained incarceration
rates by racial groups, Black, Hispanic and White.
Sheriff’s
officials in the Atlanta area are investigating whether any laws were broken
when fliers inviting residents to join the Ku Klux Klan were placed outside
homes and car loans for bad credit companies. Newton County sheriff’s Deputy
Courtney Morrison says the fliers are being reviewed to make sure they don’t
contain any inappropriate information or threats. The Newton Citizen reports
that the fliers included a drawing of a robed klansman standing in front of a
tree with writing that said, “Join the KKK — Loyal White Knights.”
Colorado
Springs-area residents collected their mail this weekend unprepared for the
shocking invitation that would await them. Pleas to join the Ku Klux Klan were
taped to mailboxes across the neighborhood in El Paso County, intended to
target racial minorities in the area. The El Paso County Sherriff’s Office has
teamed up the U.S. Postal Inspectors to investigate the mail distribution which
is being considered a violation of federal law.
Members
of the Ku Klux Klan in Springfield, Mo. surprised some local residents with
flyers in their front yard promoting a Klan-sponsored neighborhood watch
program. The flyer, which shows an image of a masked and hooded Klansman, was
made in attempt to recruit members of the community to launching a neighborhood
watch program.
“Are there troubles in your neighborhood?
Contact the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan today!” it
says. “You can sleep tonight knowing the Klan is awake!”
About
half a dozen other flyers were discovered around homes in the area. KY3
contacted the number listed on the flyer and talked to a representative who
said that the group’s goal is to recruit members to the neighborhood watch
groups “to help police fight crime.”
In a
recent opinion post in The Grio, Michael Arceneaux addresses the KKK’s efforts
to rebrand their image to recruit new members. “Are you ready for the kinder,
gentler Ku Klux Klan? You see the KKK is trying to do an image overhaul. They
don’t want you to think of them as the cross-burning, black people murdering,
hate group they’ve proven themselves to be since inception. No, no, they’ve
“evolved” now. “
Speaking
with The Huffington Post, Pastor Travis Pierce tried to argue that the Ku Klux
Klan has a new “positive” message. He says nowadays the Klan’s mission is to
defend and represent white people, hold up the constitution, and deny gay
teachers access to public schools. They plan to do this through legal means.
Pierce says that “speechifying” or protesting doesn’t get the job done anymore.
This “new direction” is all about advancing the white race through legal means.
The new KKK still wants to use the government to create policies that solely
benefit white people.
Membership
for the KKK and a number of other “patriot groups” have reported increases
according to reports by the Southern Law Poverty Center. When you take a close
look at the old and the “new”, you won’t be able to tell any differences. Same old stuff, different day!
