Homeowner calls his racist Halloween display "white pride"...

[cynatnite]

A Missouri man removed his Halloween decorations Wednesday at the request of the Scott County sheriff because they were suspected of being a public disturbance.

A Klu Klux Klan figure and the depiction of a black man being lynched were featured in the display.

Rick Hoskins told KFVS that he puts the decorations up every year as a sign of "white pride."

"There's been a bunch of people that's stopped by since I put them up," explained Hoskins. "Said they want to shake my hand. They said they're glad to see a little white pride is still left in this country."

2. Why do racists always equate racism with pride in one's ethnicity?

Can't one be proud of one's heritage without being a racist asshole?

Damn, we need to take the whole "pride" label back from the idiotic fucking hatemongers.

3. "white pride"... urgh

5. Classic bully move: Diminish others to celebrate you.

As if he couldn't have celebrated his cultural heritage without demeaning others and hating. Is being part of the KKK and hanging people the greatest cultural event in this family's genealogy?

7. Is being part of the KKK and hanging people the greatest cultural event in this family's genealogy?

Probably.

4. I wonder what his freeper name is? nt

[BlueIris]

6. Ew. And AAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH.

No actual words for this freakazoid.

[Kalyke]

8. I'm not understanding.

Is the KKK figure hanging, too?

It looks like it is, and, if so, it looks like he's hanging both in effigy.

I'm confused.

10. I think it's standing, it just has a tree 'growing' out of the top of its head (nt)

[TK421]

25. Which makes perfect sense since there is plenty of space for the tree to grow nt

next to the word "Moron."

[musette_sf]

12. some maroon called the Alan Colmes show two night ago

crying about the "freedoms" he's "lost" because of the Dems...

when pressed as to exactly WHICH freedoms he'd lost, after a great deal of hemming and hawing, the only thing he could come up with was that he "can't say the N-word any more".

:nuke:

[petronius]

13. As a white person myself, "pride" is not the response I feel to seeing my race

overtly associated with murder. I'm amazed these people can even say things like that with a straight face...

15. i am white and far from feeling any pride... of course he is absurd

yet still getting the attention, which is what he is after.

thumbs up to the racism, sexism, homophobia and religious hate today. it is all good. :sarcasm:

[PJPhreak]

16. If some shit like this showed up in my neighborhood...

One can be assured that there would have been a BBQ in front of that house!

[thelordofhell]

19. Didn't I see this on a Reno911 episode?

I won't feel any "white pride" until all these racists pricks are finally dead.

[pacalo]

20. "White pride"?????

Seriously, among many other things, this "man" needs psychiatric help.

[bullwinkle428]

22. I wonder which Tea Party group he represents.

[HillWilliam]

23. Since when does being an asshole constitute "pride"?

Oh wait, since the Tea Klux Klan.

Never mind.

[Mister Ed]

26. The last little trace of my pride in the white race just died.

There is only shame. Unspeakable shame.

27. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins

Hope this little bit helps.

And just so nobody misunderstands me, God bless Ron McNair - who would have been the first astronaut to perform recorded music in outer space.
