Ku Klux Klan fliers were left at Selma homes on the 50th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday."

Robert Jones, the grand dragon of the Loyal White Knights of the KKK spoke with AL.com Sunday afternoon and said about 4,000 KKK fliers have been distributed throughout Selma and Montgomery in the last two weeks.

"We pretty much put out fliers, some against King and some against immigration," Jones said. "It's time for the American people to wake up to these falsehoods that they preach about MLK."

Jones said bags containing a flier and a rock were thrown onto the doorsteps of people's homes as KKK members drove by. He said the rock acted as a paperweight, and the homes that received fliers were random.

Since when has the Selma civil rights march been refereed to as "Bloody Sunday". I have never heard it called that before.

IMHO the KKK is totally irrelevant.

Are they sure it wasn’t the Krispy Kreme Klub that was recruiting for members?

The first march took place on March 7, 1965. Bevel, Amelia Boynton, and others helped organize it. The march gained the nickname Bloody Sunday after its 600 marchers were attacked at the Edmund Pettus Bridge after leaving Selma; state troopers and county posse attacked the unarmed marchers with billy clubs and tear gas. Law enforcement beat Boynton unconscious; media publicized a picture of her lying wounded on the bridge worldwide.[3]

agreed ... prolly black caucus operatives .... who else could get that close

[Regal]

Could have been the SAE fraternity on a recruitment drive.

How it works nowadays is the Sharptons, et al, PAY the few remaining KKK types to do this stuff. The kluckers get money, Sharpton gets TV time.

Everybody gets what they want.

We had this happen here in North Louisiana a couple of years ago when a black small town mayor was on trial for malfeasance.

They are totally irrelevant, but needing a bogeyman, the left will promote them as a clear and present danger, lurking in every corner.

A bunch of Dim-o-rat schmucks.

You gotta “love” how the MSM always conflates the Kook Kuck Klan with Republicans / NRA / conservatives / etc..., even though the Republicans were anti-jim crow and pro civil rights, the NRA was formed to PROTECT the gun rights fo former slaves, and the conservatives want to stop the black abortion genocide.

agreed ... prolly black caucus operatives

"..and now for my next impression...Jesse Owens."

"The Klan is still out there and we are watching," Jones said.

That's good. You should be very watchful.

And watch you don't come anywhere near my home in central Virginia, because on my property white hoods and robes are used for target practice.

[Seabeejas]

Looks like the democrats are at it again.

[MeganC]

A false flag operation to help keep the blacks on the Democrat plantation would be about right.

The Klan is doing a fine job of keeping Morris Dees (SPLC) in high cotton.

It was never called “Bloody Sunday.” For me, that was the Irish thing that happened in the early 70s. The one that brought fame to Berndette Devlin.

I suspect a hoax. I’ve been on that bridge - that is a poor old Southern town that seemed quite innocent to me...

Wikipedia is wrong. I was alive and well during this march - and as tragic as it was - it was never, ever referred to as Bloody Sunday. That's a European, tribalistic name that has nothing to do with America.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Great, some inbred fool with a car and a printer makes up some KKK flyers and gives the national media and liberal race grievance-mongering organizations fodder to claim that Racism is Alive and Well!!!! If they are real lucky, this dope will say something nice about the GOP.

[nascarnation]

I’ve often wondered if the SPLC doesn’t secretly bankroll this kind of stuff. Otherwise their contributions might dry up...

[Dalberg-Acton]

I’m guessing the only Clan members left are various law enforcement agency agitators trying to entrap one another.

This article from March 9, 1965 referred to it as "bloody sunday."

[BBell]

I can honestly say I have never heard this march refereed to as “Bloody Sunday” until this year. Maybe I run in the wrong circles.
