Not for nothing, the problem isn’t the new black panthers or the KKK it’s average black criminals who commit murder and mayhem on a daily basis, which is generally ignored; and the “leaders” of the black community who want the world to stop every time some random black guy has the ill luck to be killed by a non-black guy.
It’s BS and everyone is sick of it. Everyone except the pundit class and the aforementioned “leaders”.
The burning cross and the lynching tree are all too real for some who cling to slights, perceived or real. Usually perceived.
I thought RICO was already used in the 80s or 90s to strip the Klan of their money.
The Democrats post civil war “insurgents” (KKK) don’t command any influence these days. Their political power and violence lasted roughly 100 years but today?
If Congress thought Congress could do that it would ban the KKK but would not touch any Black organization at all. Th definition of Racism is too restrictive. It is too ingrained that only white people can be racist and that any suggestion that Negroes can be racist is racist. If the KKK were to be so banned the Westphal Baptist Church and then the John Birch Society would follow and then quickly hated conservative organizations and then those progressively less disdained by the Left. 60 years ago when this sort of thing was debated and demanded, the Communist Party would probably have been the sole organization so banned. The attachment to the Constitution is so tenuous now that once the breach is made on that front the trickle would quickly become a flood.
The number of white people lynched was small, around a thousand, according to the NAACP. Why were those whites lynched? They were trying to register Black Americans as Republicans.
That is the secret the media will not publicize - that the KKK was lynching white Republicans - and it had nothing to do with racism, but naked politics.
I’m calling Bee Ess on this article.
I refuse to accept imparted guilt just because of my skin color or ethnicity.
To the author from our Watch What You Wish For Dept.: Islam and the Communist party are TRUELY seditious groups.
I strongly disagree. To the extent that the Klan is engaged in a conspiracy to commit criminal acts, their conduct is already illegal. To the extent that they are merely engaged in ignorant speech, their speech is and ought to be protected under the First Amendment. Once the federal government steps into the position of regulating the content of speech, that regulation will grow to an oppressive level.
The "it's not more unconstitutional than . . ." argument illustrates the fundamental flaw in your case. Obamacare's abortion mandate is an unconstitutional violation of a fundamental God-given human right. Speech codes on campus are an unconstitutional violation of a fundamental God-given human right. Most existing gun laws are an unconstitutional violation of a fundamental God-given human right. The fact that the federal government is operating outside the strict limits imposed by the Constitution is not a justification for more violations of that founding document. The widespread violations of our constitutional rights are a justification for restraining the federal government and cutting it back to its proper scope of operations.
