The Kan-Klan

There was a news article recently about a black woman in Winnsboro, Louisiana who claimed to have been set on fire by three men wearing "white hoodies" who then proceeded to scrawl KKK on her car.

Well, not surprisingly, this all turns out to be bullshit.  The "lady" in question set herself on fire.

Let me 'splain something to you folks who may not know about the KKK.  The Klan is completely and totally irrelevant in the South.  The last time "The Klan" even showed their faces in Mississippi was at the 2008 Presidential Debate held at The University of Mississippi and guess what?  They were booed away from the venue by white people.

The last time they publically appeared prior to that was in the small town of Poplarville where they simply passed out literature about teen pregnancy.

Frightening stuff!

And as a matter of fact, the last known grand wiz in Mississippi or whatever they called him was murdered by a black man who did his yardwork.  He was stabbed 35 times and set on fire.  Karma is a bitch.

The Klan is an irrelevant and stupid organization, a ghost of a relic of times long gone.  Sure, I'm positive there are still pot-bellied, beer-swilling, small-minded fools that meet and organize themselves and whip up awesome pipe-dreams about white domination, but you rarely and truly almost never see any Klan displays in the modern South.  They have been reduced to nearly an afterthought thankfully, although sadly they still provide a convenient boogeyman for the media when need be.

So lady, we are sorry you set yourself on fire, but we have to inform you that. . .
