KKK, Crips Gang Members Team Up To Stop Memphis KKK Rally
CBS Houston ^ | March 1, 2013 | Cicely Mitchell

Posted on 03/03/2013 3:01:18 PM PST by JerseyanExile

If you are looking for a story that travels to the realms of disbelief, then this is the story that does so. It appears that a group of Memphis, Tennessee Ku Klux Klan members and the Grape Street Crips are teaming up to stop an upcoming KKK rally.

Dajuan Horton, a Crip Gang member who lives in Memphis apparently heard of the rally happening. Being totally and unequivocally against it, he decided to work on a rally to combat the coming KKK rally. He told a local news station that instead of meeting the opposing rally members with violence, he is offering a non-violent stand against them: “The first thing I was thinking was the largest rally you’ve even seen and you’re telling us about it,” he said. “You’re sending the first blow, we’re not throwing blows we’re going to dodge that one and hug you.”

Horton also made a video and posted it on YouTube; about his opposition of the rally. That video caught the attention of Bradley Jenkins, the Imperial Wizard for the United Klan of America. Jenkins watched Horton’s video and offered to stand with Horton as he works to repel the impending rally: “We will stand resolute with the citizens of Memphis and this young man and anyone in town, no matter what color they be, because hate and racism has no place,” Jenkins said. According to Jenkins, the KKK members who are proposing a rally at the end of March, are not true members of The Ku Klux Klan.

I think it’s time that the Democratic Party apologize to the Afro-American community for establishing the KKK and finally once and for all denounce their racist heritage. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi should call for all Democrats to bring their Klan robes do the steps of Congress and burn them in a show of repentance.

Is is me, or does the world just keep getting more confusing?

And I’m talking exponentially...

I'll try to explain but I don't know that it will help.

An aquaintence of mine, actually a pretty good friend, was a leader of the local KKK. Mostly made up of union workers, un-employed drug dealers and disaffected youth. In other words, Democrats.

When they got together, they loved to drink, smoke dope, and play Rap music. I, and my wife, didn't understand the seeming conflict between white racist listening to black music, and the fact that all these white racist voted with the black folks. So, my wife, without my blessing I might add, decided to start asking a few questions.

So, the Grand Dragon, or whatever, kinda explained it this way. “Well, you can't kill’em or beat’em anymore and actually if you get to know ‘em they are just like us rednecks only they're niggers. So, all in all we just try to get along the best we can.”

Made sense to me....

The machine that ended the support for the KKK in the south: http://www.livinghistoryfarm.org/farminginthe50s/machines_15.html

After the cotton combines there was no longer the need to prevent blacks from leaving for better wages elsewhere.

Many of them were actually construction workers who supplemented their income during down times by making and distributing drugs. Meth, Coke, Pot, whatever.

Sorry for the confusion..

In a follow-up news story, it was discovered the rally was really a Tennessee Democratic Party rally. The confusion arose when most members were also on the rolls of said groups. The rally will go on as planned.

“After the cotton combines there was no longer the need to prevent blacks from leaving for better wages elsewhere.”

You bet. So they left. Going to Detroit, Chicago, New York etc...And how’d that work out? So, luckily for us they’re headed back this way now.

Ever wonder why all the blacks in Alabama voted for George Wallace? Just one of those things that make you go “Huh?”

But the South has alway been a place of contradictions.

I’ve seen some post online and known a few (definitely wouldn’t call them friends or even acquaintances) and they love Democrat policies, especially LBJ’s Great Society because they think it is creating a separation in the cultures they want. A means to an end.

Sadly, African Americans don’t see LBJ’s great society as a new enslavement and very few have ever taken the time to hear LBJ’s own words from the White House recordings on what he thought of the African American community and how he saw using welfare to keep them under the party thumb.

“...perplexed...”

It’s not that hard to understand. There are several different organizations of the Klan. Obviously, the alledged rally was being proposed by a rival Klan to the Memphis chapter of United Klans.

“The real question is… fake or not…isn’t hate awful anyway it comes?”

The real hatred comes from the race baiters wanting not only that these small parks be renamed but for history to be expunged.

The Republicans took the blacks out of bondage and the Democrats put them right back in. That’s why the KKK and other racist groups vote democrat, make no mistake about it. And blacks, even those who should know better, keep voting Democrat because Daddy Government is going to take care of them. Just like the Plantation owners. It’s a f-—ing sick mentality. And it’s taking over the whole mindset of the citizens, sheeple of the United State.

I wish the Sons of Confederate Veterans would rally and kick the KKK’s ass.

That’s my dream.....

Hmmmm. I think the KKK will be so out-numbered it won’t be funny. There just aren’t that many Klansmen left.
