Texas School Board Member Sorry For KKK 'White Christmas' Facebook Post
Source: Talking Points Memo
A Texas school board member apologized after posting an image of a member of the Ku Klux Klan with the caption "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" to his Facebook page, television station KTAL reported on Monday.
Chris Harris, a board member for the Hooks Independent School District in the town of Hooks, posted two apologies to Facebook after posting the offensive image. After removing the offending post, he maintained in both apologies that he was not "a racist."
Harris also explained that the original post was "meant as a joke" that he realized "offended people" and that "got taken way out of context."

Yup, he made a politicians' "apology."
"If anyone was offended, I'm sorry..."
And people wonder why the Texas school board is thought of as a laughing stock?

May Gawd blay-yess hi-yum, too.
Um, Yes. You. Are.
Dumbass. 
i left the d's a long time ago because third way triangulation seemed a lot like the same ole racism. i moved to green, but i still support...oh 
does anyone still question why people do not vote?
So he's "not a racist, huh? Seriously? He actually tried that lame old line and the moldy old excuse that he "was taken out of context"?
How on God's green earth could THAT be taken out of context? By saying it was "taken out of context", I assume he meant, "Shit, I didn't realize that EVERYBODY will be able to see it." These maggots just keep slithering out from under their rocks, don't they? (Apologies to actual fly larvae.) It's good for us when they're too stupid, arrogant, and ignorant to realize that putting something online means that EVERYBODY can see it sooner or later. 
Lets see how many parents go to the next school board and ask there right wing leadership what they are going to do about this.
Then a parent should declare right then and there they are running to get rid of this right wing hypocrisy and racism embedded in the district and show the students that this will not be tolerated and this is what is wrong in this country.
This is the same crowd that goes around and says that the public education system is failing, you think so because you have a racists on your team -----DUH.
And the education system is failing and that history books and biology books are false, that god needs to be injected with creationism and that a zygote has Constitutional rights.
Just like on the Rachel Maddow show concerning a white racists at a private ski lodge in Montana fighting with a campaign manager for McCain and now he is on the Jim Demint happy hour called the Heritage Foundation or better known as the American Enterprise Institute saying nihilistic dogma of racists remarks, that shows credibility and people give money to this outfit too further the racist cause of hate and fear 
All it takes is the means and power of individuals to start a campaign to vote these people out, you just have to go to a meeting, stand and ask for a motion to have this hypocrite removed through a parliamentary procedure and then have someone present a motion to remove the racist, then to have someone in the crowd to the resolution to second the motion, and if the school board disallows this democratic form of government file suit.
It is time to take back common decency in this country
