PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – In 2013, no one expects to see a man dressed in a Ku Klux Clan robe mid-morning in Center City, Philadelphia.

“I think that’s nonsense,” said one woman on the street.

“He needs to be committed to the jail system,” said another onlooker.

The man, who stood on the corner of 13th and Filbert on Tuesday, is not out to lynch or kill black people. In fact, he is black.

Thirty-five-year-old Sixx King says he’s using the offensive symbol to highlight a serious problem: black on black crime.

“We’re bringing awareness to the black hypocrisy, complacency and apathy in the African-American community,” said King.

According to the FBI, in 2011 more than 7,000 black people were killed. King’s sign reads that the KKK killed 3,446 blacks in 86 years, while black on black murders surpass that number every six months.

“All my anger for my ancestors who went through that terror of a Ku Klux Klan hood and what that symbolizes to me, evoked anger,” said Philadelphia Councilman Curtis Jones Jr. “I was angry!”

Councilman Jones took a picture of what he witnessed and posted it on Facebook. Hundreds have shared the image, and the comments were mixed.

The KKK couldn’t have done a better job destroying black families and individuals than LBJ’s continuing War on Poverty.

I’d be more impressed if he protested aginst the black-On-White murder and crime rate. This guy’s actions get him attention, but as usual, it’s all one-sided.

In reality the reason for the killings make very little difference to the dead.

Blacks kill themselves via abortion (murder before born) and murder (after born) far more than any other demographic group you can create.

The destruction of the black family, perpetrated by liberals of all colors and genders, is the reason.
