It was a bloody affair reminiscent of an era we wish were long gone, particularly for a city that once was nicknamed “Klanaheim” and has gone from mostly white to majority minority in a couple of generations.


Anaheim has also gone from a wonderful place to live to a sh!t hole

Racial problems worse than when BHO took office.

Another proud Obama achievement

The evil media mind controllers who create the false reality we live in are going all out to lie to destroy Trump.

Trump has never been racist nor involved with the KKK nor Duke nor anything. Duke didn’t even endorse Trump. the media is just making up lies to link Trump’s name with the KKK and “racist”. I wonder if you google it how many stories are out there now about Trump and the KKK. It’s all so people will link Trump and the KKK together in their minds.

The media is the enemy and main problem in the USA

Black Lives (only) Matter, the Black Panthers, BET, and Beyonce’s performance at half time also prove that the US is far from post-racial.

Nobody under 30 knows who David Duke is. He ran for president 26 years ago.

See how thousands of media headlines have the words “KKK” and “Trump” . It’s lies . Trump has always said things against the KKK never for them or been involved with them.
It’s all lies to brainwash and control people.

America will never be “post racial”. Race-baiters and hustlers will never let that happen. Too much money and power involved in keeping us divided.

“We were too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematographer.”

Still happening today along with scores of murders. Just that it is mostly being done by other blacks. Maybe Chris Rock should get out of Hollywood and head out to the hood.

Bringing up the KKK is poor salesmanship for the Progressives/Democrats as the KKK is their creation and The Donald will certainly be likely to emphasize that over and over again.

Why should whites be concerned with any of this as long as we have the likes of LaRaZA, MEChA, BLM, the Black Panthers, The Hispanic and Black Caucuses etc.

Screw them

The US and any other place will never be “post racial”.

The biggest reason for that is that idiots like the one that wrote this article see everything through racial glasses.

These are the ones that adore diversity but abhor the fact that races are different. In other words they are psychos.

Progressives don't recognize the importance of cultural and individual values, and thus blame the racism boogeyman when their equal opportunity policies don't result in equal outcomes.

You said..

Yeah but those are the good guys/S

This is the same media that whitened Zimmerman and doctored his 911 call, stoked the flames in Ferguson along with the prez, and they think they can lecture us?

Look, the NBA, mostly white-owned is a merit-based, racially un-diverse operation. If it were forced into arbitrary diversity, it’d be ruined, laughably.

Suppose, just suppose, the Oscars are merit-based.

Ever notice MLB is non-diversely Hispanic?

Prediction: Every non-tech category next year will be over-represented in nominees by race. And every winner by race will be seen with an asterisk. The best way to insure trophies for all is to give trophies to all.
