Please pollute the hell out of Route 515 in N. Carolina

That would solve the problem, right?

“Yes, we are representing them, but we are still working on the strategy.”
~ACLU

Let me start off by saying that I fully support the ACLU’s effort to represent the KKK in their case against the state of Georgia.

Those are words that I thought I would never say in my life … but it’s absolutely true. It goes without saying that the KKK is absolutely repugnant, vile, disgusting, and offensive. There are few organizations if any that I can consider more vile and worthy of the karma that they so very much deserve. But unfortunately – to eliminate the rights of the KKK is to eliminate the rights of every other American. As long as they’re not harming people – they’re allowed to spread their disgusting ideology. That’s what a democracy looks like … that’s what freedom of speech allows for.

The minute government is able to infringe on someone’s right to join the “adopt a highway” program … is the minute it will be legal to tell a Synagogue or Mosque that it’s not legal to build or preach. The minute government is allowed to infringe on the rights of the KKK it will be legal to tell blacks or Latinos they can’t start businesses in certain areas. The moment that you start to strip away rights from some is the moment you strip away rights from us all.

And so … I have no choice but to support the ACLU in their case.

The Raw Story has the details HERE:

The International Keystone Knights of the KKK in Union County recently applied to “adopt” one mile of Route 515, located in the Appalachian Mountains near North Carolina. The state would have been forced to give the group official recognition in the form of road signs bearing their name and other benefits in return for cleaning up litter on the stretch of highway.

Within 48 hours, the Georgia Department of Transportation rejected the request, claiming the group had a “long rooted history of civil disturbance would cause a significant public concern.”

The The Atlanta Journal Constitution adds:

“A likely precedent was established in 2005 when a federal court ruled that Missouri had no right to ban the KKK from the Adopt-a-Highway program based on the Klan’s political beliefs.

“In rejecting the Klan, which has a history of violence against blacks and minority groups, DOT said the highway cleanup program was open only to ‘civic-minded organization in good standing.’”

[PLAYER57832]

If it were another group espousing those views, without the record of illegal practices attached, they probably would have an argument. However, the KKK has proven it is extra-legal. It does not just advocate, but practices acts that are plain illegal (not to mention repulsive). They have, in recent years tried to clean up their act, but the bottom line is that they cannot both hide behind hoods and claim the right to freedom.


And, yes, I actually am glad the ACLU is taking up the case. Gives space for the arguments

[AAFitz]

I wonder if the crips or the bloods should be allowed to adopt an highway too?

If it is true they are reasonably prone to illegal behavior as player said, perhaps they are as unfit as say a gang would be.

I know its not a perfect analogy, but its hardly not worth thinking about.

Certainly some groups should not be allowed to sponsor anything, and perhaps KKK is one of them, not based on speech, but actions, which therefore does not violate their free speech rights.

Real racism -

“That’s our brother, brother General Taco!” the New Black Panther radio host announced.

General T.A.C.O. (Taking All Capitalists Out) of the New Black Panther Party had some less than encouraging words for white people this week. Mr. Taco, speaking on NBPP Radio on Sunday, decided to let white America know that the NBPP will “hunt” their “pink asses down.” Hunting white people down will serve to accomplish General Taco’s other stated goal of “destroying white supremacy and capitalism.”

Gen. Taco also justifies his killing of white people because of their “history” of pushing “crack, AIDS and unemployment“ on black men and women in order to ”exterminate” them.

But simply hunting and killing the white person does not satisfy Mr. Taco:

“Once [white people] die, we should dig ‘em up, and kill ‘em again, bury ‘em, dig ‘em up, and kill ‘em again, and again, and again!”

The Black Panthers are just talking about killing people though. I suppose once they try to clean up a highway, that will be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Well then clarify the "NEW" Black panther party. You said "Black Panthers", which is the original group.

See, unlike the KKK, the new Black panther party has very little to do with the original. Or, well, according to my high school history teacher (also a native southerner), the original KKK was disbanded and disavowed by the founder .. but all that happened a few years after the civil war, not recent times.

haha...

[BigBallinStalin]

Skimming through their home page, I'm glad they point out crony capitalism, but if they start railing against free markets, then I'll take a pass on their kool aid.

[Dibbun]

"Class warfare" what a fucking joke.

People want cheap shit. Cheap shit comes from free markets. Someone has to run the free market and they get rich. BAWWWWWWWWW somebody is rich yeah no fucking shit it's because they work harder than you. So either work harder, overthrow a very good economic system, or cry more fucking lazy occupy the crack of my ass fuckwits.

Oh, on point - who gives a f*ck if they want to clean the highway? Who the f*ck are you to say they are disgusting or vile or whatever? If they commit crimes, prosecute them, but if they're just about an ideology then so what? If that leads them to contribute to the community then we should support that.

[PLAYER57832]

Yeah, no one who's not a business leader is intelligent or hard working. And, of course, no one at the top abuses their power or ignores scientific fact at their convenience.

And... the 1920's just never happened.

[Timminz]

I see Scott has a hard-on for the Black Panthers. Should we tell him this thread is actually about a totally unrelated group, or shall we let him ramble on? I vote for ramble on. Or even better, this thread is now about Al Qaeda.

[Neoteny]

SR 515 is actually in Georgia. So make sure you trash this side of the highway, instead of the al-Qaeda side in NC. Amusingly enough, it's nicknamed after Zell Miller. Supposedly, the highway provides better access to Atlanta for our mountain hicks. But we don't take kindly to their type 'round here. We're New Black Panther Party here. Indeed, just the other day I lynched a middle class white man, raped his wife, and taught his daughter how to play basketball. Crazy crackers.

Is this where you whine about someone else bringing up race?

yes

Certainly some groups should not be allowed to sponsor anything, and perhaps KKK is one of them, not based on speech, but actions, which therefore does not violate their free speech rights.

What "actions not speech", as a group, has this group - that calls itself "KKK" - undertaken that preclude it from sponsoring things? (separate from other, previous, groups that have called themselves "KKK")

Let's not forget the Neo-Nazis. Maybe they should be allowed also?

[john9blue]

what legal precedent is there, other than the missouri case?

“In rejecting the Klan, which has a history of violence against blacks and minority groups, DOT said the highway cleanup program was open only to ‘civic-minded organization in good standing.’”

if this was a rule beforehand, then they MIGHT have a case for rejecting the KKK, even though it's a bad rule IMO

not all white people do this! only democrats do.

the image of a bunch of KKK members picking up trash in their white ghost sheets is the funniest image I can possibly imagine.

I laughed so hard reading this article that I just had to post it. Here's the clan, all robed out picking up trash while people drive by throwing McDonald's bags at them.
They'll give up soon enough.

You might be onto something. They could just go rengade and dress up to go out doing good deeds. I can't see too many people falling for it but they should give it a try maybe.

[PLAYER57832]

There is a serious irony here when your comments are juxtaposed against Phattscotty's instant "OK, now the Black Panthers..."

See, the original Black Panther party very much did begin soup kitchens and preschools, open to all.

I would just like to add that I love the Subject of this thread, given the content of the thread. It makes me chuckle every time I see it.
