Re: KKK in Selmer, TN

Doesn't the KKK have as much right to organize and assemble as other groups like the NAACP etc? Does anybody know if the KKK has tax exempt status?

In the nearby city of Cincinnati, in the downtown area there is a place called Fountain Square. By permission of City Council, different groups have received permission at different times to display a Menora or Manger Scene on the Square for a designated period of time. The KKK received permission to display a cross there one year (maybe 2 years) for Christmas and "racists" objected to its being there and knocked it down a couple of times.

Sherri, do you think these are local yokels or out-of-towners?

Probably some of both.

Re: KKK in Selmer, TN

Sam makes a good point. The NAACP routinely has racist verbage spewing from their podiums.

Re: KKK in Selmer, TN

This is sadly what humanity looks like without Jesus Christ! That "void" sucks up all kinds of poison and evil deeds. This is humanity hating humanity. How sad.
