14. I come from a place where when the KKK hung a noose a black person's neck was promptly encased.
Edited on Tue Sep-04-07 07:22 PM by Maribelle

Generation KKK: Passing the Torch Aug 10, 2002 Petal, Mississippi.




Above: The son of a Klansman is pictured with a doll hanging from a noose at the home of South Mississippi Knights of the Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard Jimmie Maxey during a memorial rally following Maxey's death.
