I am from Durham and I can tell you the Klan would NEVER step foot around there. Let's wait and see what becomes of this.

I am opposed to racism and especially hate groups such as the Klan, but I have a feeling we'll find out what really went on.

I lived in that area for four years, worked in Durham (opened the Hilton) and I couldn't have been more happy when I left.

I hated Durham. I really hated Chapel Hill. Living near Cary wasn't too bad though. My wife and I couldn't decide who we detested more...the liberal easteners or the liberal northerners.

I'm not from the area, but the same thought struck me. I have a feeling that this might be a deliberate attempt to imitate the Klan in hopes of stirring up more trouble.

I'd like a ping if anyone happens to be monitoring the situation.

I agree with you. Think we need to wait and see WHO did this and if it was the Klan or someone mimicking them.

I lived in Durham from 1981-84. I hope things have changed since then. Yje N word was heard more often than I care to recall.

I live in the area as well and have been watching the news, especially Channel 11. I agree wholeheartedly with you. The Klan in Durham?!? Only if they had a deathwish. The only place you'll find out what really happened will probably be on page C-19 of the News and Observer down in the far left corner when they admit it was a hoax

I wonder how that priest that 'blessed' the ground where the cross was will feel then
