Things are getting nastier across Georgia in the debate on illegal immigration. Now, a group based out of Philadelphia has arrived in Atlanta equating the legislature’s support of a new tough immigration bill Gov. Nathan Deal is expected to sign into law as something the KKK would support, reports Atlanta Business Chronicle broadcast partner WXIA-TV.

The organization helping organize the banner campaign in Georgia is called "The Diversity Projekt," based in Philadelphia.

An Atlanta volunteer pushing the effort told WXIA late Monday she does not think all supporters of HB87 are KKK sympathizers.

The primary sponsor of the illegal immigration crackdown, Rep. Matt Ramsey, R-Peachtree City, told the television station the banner campaign amounts to "more left-wing hysterics by extremists who can't accept that most Georgians want the governor to sign it into law."

I am the Diversity Projekt. This is my personal space in the universe to share stories about the ways in which I navigate the world as mixed, queer, trans-national and multi-cultural. I share my struggles, my successes and all too frequent hiccups.  

In telling my own stories of standing up AGAINST racism, homophobia, sexism and classism and FOR rights, empowerment, diversity, education, economic strength, and choices for marginalized communities, I hope to provide individuals with the language and tools necessary to contribute to working toward equity and justice in their own communities.

I thought the Democrats oppose this bill ?

[The_Reader_David]

Evidently some Klan chapter (or whatever funny word beginning with a K they use in place of “chapter”) actually expressed its support for the bill.

Of course, the KKK not being media savvy, didn’t do the obvious thing to play on their evil reputation: if they really wanted to help the bill, they should have attacked it for not going far enough.

“I navigate the world as mixed, queer, trans-national and multi-cultural. .... In telling my own stories of standing up AGAINST racism, homophobia, sexism and classism”

Ah yes, ‘classism’.

Too many classes in marxism and multiculturalism have caused brain damage in this woman.

“I am the Diversity Projekt.”

And not enough time learning spelling.

Yup.

"It's racist to have borders if they keep out non-whites"

Invasion as a civil right, but only if you happen to be non-Caucasian

[azhenfud]

Absent reason, logic, and a persuasive argument supporting their standing, this is no different than a resort to the “race card”.

So when are they condemn La Raza, The Klan with a Tan? “For those within the The Race, everything; for those outside The Race, nothing.”
