proof that racism is alive and well...

One article about cross burning and you colored folk run for the hills... j/k

Seriously, you guys really dwell on this crap too much.  The KKK does exist, but it isn\'t even a shadow of what it was during its hayday in the earlier 1900\'s.  Usually its a couple of redneck losers who get together, drink beer, pine for the Old South, then go out in the middle of the woods and light a cross on fire.  

For some people the word Klan is the equivalent of the "Boogie Man"...:looks at clips:...  Make sure you check under your bed tonight clips - some cracker in a sheet might be under there waiting for ya.

Edit:  Shouldn\'t this be in CE?

Well retards burning crosses doesn\'t affect my ideals. The same right that allows that crap allows us to say whatever the fuck we want, whenever we want. I think people are gonna hate no matter what laws are forced on them, so it\'s irrelevant and useless to waste time and taxpayer\'s money to make a law to tell you to not burn a cross. It\'s just common sense.

Some things when ignored and passed as insignificant  someday they will matter
Actually it matters already(irrelevant with the burning crosses).But I wont comment on that because some of you will automatically think that it will be an effort to take on America whilst its not my intention.

Those days are long gone Unicron.  Research some late 20th century American history and you would understand.  The Klan is dead - the only people who do such things are unintelligent backwards ass rednecks who have too much time on their hands.

and 99% of the population aren\'t like this. The fringe radicals do this shit to grab media attention, but in reality, their numbers are very small, and they are perceived to be dumb-asses, so they hold no political power, and never will.

What exactly does this have to do with the KKK?  Nothing.  Cross burnings?  Nothing.

It is about some corrupt law enforcement officer.

That man was a sworn racist.If I recall a member of the KKK.I saw an interview and documentary months ago regarding this.
What worrys me is the fact that when it comes to color people there is complete indiference by the law in such matters.
 In this example (a one example from the many) many innocent colored people were sentenced for years in jail without concrete proof.
 When he was asked where were his notes and report he said that he wrote them on his leg and hand.So what happened to that report? "I had to wash"
Yet these people were sent to court and put to jail thanks to irrational "proof"/evidence
 There are more incidents to this day that show similar indifference and intentional bureaucratic actions nobody can question that are treating colored people as a minority

Yep. Scary but that just the way it works. It has to be equal rights for all groups. If Johnny South wanted to march to the Capitol and protest his views on blacks, whites, Asians, Middle Eastern - he can. Whether it\'s hate or admiration, he has that right.

Now...getting the National Park service to approve it is a whole \'nother obstacle. The KKK would never be allowed to come Washington DC mainly for their own protection coz they would be gunned down before they reached the Beltway (it\'s the highway that circles metropolitan area of Wash DC). If you think gun violence is bad in trailer parks, Southeast DC would make minced meat out of the KKK.

No joke.

Oh please Unicorn you are overdramatizing this.  In the article you posted it was more about drugs and a corrupt cop than it was about him being racist.  Yes he was racist, but there were other motivating factors involved that were more relevant than race - namely greed.

Also this is one isolated incident in some bumfuck town in rural Texas.

GigaShadow:Exactly in this article.That article doesnt say much.You base your reply on the article\'s direction.Unfortunately its inadequate.
 I am not basing my arguement on that article.Its just that it was the best I could find regarding the incident.
 The whole truth is that the man was a racist that intentionally tried to convict colored residents of that town knowing they were innocent.That because he was a sworn racist.There wasnt a single white arrested(excluding the hispanics).And there wasnt proof either.
 The way the law acted was irrational.
 What is the point?The point is that when it comes to colored residents investigations are lacklaster and vague.

As I said earlier thats just a small example.There are more serious incidents I d like to point out but that might start heated debates and I dont want to dispute with other members and cause misunderstandings.

I am not trying to say that things are extensively out of control or that colored people are suffering like decades ago.
But it is true that there are many serious occasions that people seem to ignore just because these incdidents havent reached at an obvious or extreme level.

I understand about following the spirit of the law or following the letter of the law (or papers, as you put it). But the lawyers would shove that spirit right up our asses. When it comes to the Constitution, the language is very specific. Every now and then, the language is ammended to leave very little for interpetation.

The only thing I have to say is if you search for something, why would you be suprised to find it?
