Really? So a person that has been ran down by a particular race of people most of their life doesn’t have the right to be prejudice against said race? Please…..

"How many times must I forgive my brother? Seven times?"

Yes, I'm definitely going to metaphorically slap you in the face with the Bible here.

Ah if it benefits,,,Jussie Smollet comes to mind, it is just race baiting for whatever persons are using it for. It is losing it's steam today. It just got so out of control...people know what's up. It is hard to give up such a lucrative platform fowever.

Weird, I seem to recall that it didn't take long to discover that Mr. Smollet was a liar and had to basically crawl back into a cave to avoid public shame. When's the last time you heard anyone talk about Jussie Smollet?

What a bizarre example to choose.

Rightwing broadcaster NewsNationNow ran a 'special report' on the incident recently.

Not at all bizarre. It is infamous for an example of playing the race card to advance one's goals. There are others in differing forms. It is race baiting.

I don't think cross burning has anything to do with Christianity. Rather, it seems to be an ancient Gaelic tradition.

In Scotland, the fiery cross, known as the crann-tara, was used as a declaration of war.[3] The sight of it commanded all clan members to rally to the defence of the area. On other occasions, a small burning cross would be carried from town to town. During the War of 1812, burning crosses were used to mobilize the Canadian Militia's Glengarry Light Infantry when American forces invaded Canada

Don’t bring the pagans and the witches into this. Literally blaming everybody but the problem.

I never said they're "good ol' boys", I'm just going by the facts that there isn’t a lot physical harm being done by the group these days, and that they seem to have shifted towards being a protest group...
Well, they're ticking all the right boxes then, eh? Nothing wrong with a few white supremacists holding a protest now and then. The US is the land of the free and you all have equal rights to do as you please.

Oh, wait...my bad. Except non whites apparently. But at least they don't do a lot of physical harm. I haven't seen a lynching for, well...ages. That's got to be a big plus for the guys, surely. Well done the Klan!

All I do is offer facts. One can make a mockery of the facts, and another can confuse actual Gaelic traditions with "the Pagans and the witches", but the facts still remain the facts, and the fiction is...Just fiction.

I’m sorry, but claiming they’re lighting crosses on fire because it’s a Gaelic tradition is ludicrous. I was making a lighthearted comment because that’s all you can do when you’re confronted with something so absolutely absurd.

Just over a week ago, when the latest of noose hoaxes cropped up. There have been umpteen of them. I don't know if he invented the noose hoax genre, but if he did I guess he deserves credit like Black Sabbath for inventing a genre.

Yeah, they're really family friendly these days. And apparently there's discounted membership for seniors and students. Sign up now and get a free set of steak knives.

And did you know that Hitler used to take in stray dogs? And Pol Pot absolutely loved children.

The Klan does not burn Stars of David on people's lawns. They are a Protestant group and are anti-Catholic, among the many other groups they are anti-
Which Protestant group are they?

Christians honor and venerate the symbol of the cross, they don't destroy it.

Gosh, I don't know. Maybe it's discrimination against people because of their 'race' or ethnic background. You know, like 'Whites Only. No Blacks Allowed'. But I'll have to check that.
I guess that could work.

That’s all true. But it doesn’t stop it being racism. Attending the NAMBLA convention on effective grooming strategies convention doesn’t stop it being paedophillia.
Maybe it's racism, maybe it's not. If you find it morally repugnant that some people of similar race prefer to live together, that's up to you. I don't find it repugnant with the Italians, the Irish, the Chinese, the Koreans, etc.
