Vai Is God

The Klan doesn't lynch people any more. They'd get shot up if they tried anything nowadays. It's mainly a political organization now, kind of like a racist social club.

A racist social club?

The Klan is a joke nowadays and gets more protesters at their rallies than members.

Grudge? You say some odd things.

You're the person who took a fairly tongue in cheek remark and attempted, with painfully bad grammar, to make a big deal out of it. Grudge you say? Not on my part, if I find someone pointless and irritating, I ignore them instead of waving my penis, and in your case thesaurus, at them in an attempt to "prove" a point over the internet. Life really is too short for grudges, leave them to the kids.

The KKK, as Alejo said, are nothing more than a joke, and despite their own rhetoric to the contrary, never held much sway in their "heyday". They lack the means, backing and resources to act as anything more than a vigilante mob in the current climate, even in the most backwater, hick-infested depths of America.

Grudge? Christ man, how old are you?

You are all correct. There are no men who ride on horseback in ghost white sheets any longer. They don't throw ropes around trees and hang black men, or throw bombs in churches. Lets all go back to our regularly schedualed programing.

I suppose you'd agree that Charlie Manson deserves not to be in jail because he didn't kill anyone? Rhetoric is more powerful than fired rifle or a gang beatdown. It's timeless and leaderless, and in the age of the internet uncencored and available.

For every Jacob D. Robida out there, I say that the Klan's influence is just as aweful now as it was then. Before we had a concentrated group of morons we could focus on, now their ideology is out there for these one off suicidal psychopaths to pick out and vent their rage through a headless leader.

The point of the Klan being a "racist social club" is irrelevent, poor grammar or not sir, because its still something I don't think anyone here would like to be associated with.

I think you know what the Klan was, otherwise you wouldn't have compared MB posters to them. Which was and is my original point. You can dodge the issue mocking my grammar all you'd like, but you were off base making the comparison and I think you know it.

what you essentially tried to imply with that statement about the Klan ( the subsequent debate about the Klan's importance is a rediculous digression ) is that half the people that posted in this thread are racists. i think you should think twice before you make such wild accusations, or at least try to elaborate on them. and i would suggest that it is rather a big deal to call someone a racist and rather ludicrous to think that people won't respond to it.

your constant attempts to demean the other participants of a debate by referring to their bad grammar is really getting old. it's a pathetic attempt to belittle their opinions and a blow bellow the belt. i think people can make intelligent remarks without the perfect use of punctuation and the occasional misspelled word. you're coming off like an arrogant asshole, which you undoubtedly are, with serious delusions of intellectual superiority based on perfect grammar.

(although i have a inkling suspicion that you won't actually read this because i seem to be on your ignore list since the little abortion argument we had. )

You are right, I do know what the Klan was. I also know what it is, which is a spent force, a boogeyman. It has no power except over the kinds of weak minds that would tag onto any of the other myriad extremist groups out there. The Klan's influence is gone, they are a thing of the past. The reference of my original post was that the comments being made, mainly referring to a young African-American who didn't tolerate being the subject of one of the most offensive insults another human being can give, were absolutely appalling in nature, and showed about the level of humanity and tolerance expected of someone with suxh extremely misguided opinions. The white man being oppressed? What kind of organisation used that sort of language? It was meant to challenge a few of the posters in this thread to think about their opinions a little more fully. As the events of lynch law in the Deep South alongside the domestic policies of Nazi Germany illustrate, the creeping acceptance of intolerant attitudes is something that needs to be addressed in order for it to remain checked.

But no, barreling in comes yourself accusing me of holding a grudge, when every post bar one you've made in this thread has been a direct attack on me. I'm holding a grudge?

I made the remark about the grammar because your original attack made absolutely no sense. Re-read it, it really doesn't make sense. Your last post made perfect sense. Let it go, really. It isn't of any importance.

I have a hard time believing the student didn't use the term first. Why would the teacher lie about something like that? The video says "some students said they didn't hear _____ (the student) say nigga"...yet some is such a weak word, and judging by the opinion the news program wanted you to believe, i bet many other students heard him say it.

As for "being the subject of one of the most offensive insults another human being can give"...I hear black people call each other it more than 50 times a day, and am called it myself up to 5 times a day pending if I go to the courts. It being the most offensive insult is such bull****.
