Members of the Ku Klux Klan have announced plans to rally next month in South Carolina in support of the Confederate flag.

State officials confirmed to The Washington Post that the Loyal White Knights chapter of the KKK got permission to meet at the statehouse in Columbia on July 18. The group's website says it is the largest Klan in America.

James Spears, whose title is "great titan" of the Pelham, North Carolina, group, told Politico the rally would center around the organization's opposition to the Confederate flag being removed from outside the statehouse, which Spears told the publication was done "for all the wrong reasons."

"It's part of white people's culture," he said.

1. The best thing would be to completely ignore them.

No counter-protests, no visibility, no op-editorials, no griping or exposure in social media. Make it tree that falls in the forest that no one is around to hear.

These people are dying off. The less power we give them by reacting, the faster they'll go away.

10. Won't media coverage create 'cognitive dissonance'

for many Southerners who've been brainwashed about their 'heritage'? That's when people become more open to new ideas, like supporting Bernie for President.

2. they never finish that statement

"It's part of white people's culture," let me finish that for you "It's part of white people's culture of racism, hatred and bigotry." there hope that helps

6. It will be hard to distinguish between the KKK rally and the GOP convention.

The only difference being the choice of attire.

7. On another board I found out that Black people are being "uppity" about a bunch of stuff

THis is the official position of the cons, all 60 million of them

8. OK since it's the Klan they have convinced me the flag is all about heritage not racisim :)

9. Twitter conversation

@postandcourier @JosephPalermo1 Why is the KKK not considered a hate group or a domestic terrorist group?

14. 'Part of white people's culture'? That's BS. Here let me fix that:

'Part of knuckledragging, terrorist, loser white culture.'

Go climb a rope! No person with half a brain would associate with you. I disown you. STFU!
