WATCH: Clueless Klansman at Confederate flag rally confronted for wearing FUBU shoes

A man with a Ku Klux Klan tattoo and hat was caught wearing FUBU shoes — an iconic brand associated with hip hop — at a rally in support of the Confederate flag at Stone Mountain Park in Georgia.

“I just wanted to mention, I didn’t know if you were aware, I know you came here with the Ku Klux Klan or whatever,” George Chidi of Neon Flag began telling the man, only to be interrupted by the man explaining he came to the Saturday rally as a “southern American.”

“The only thing that I wanted to mention is that the shoes that you’re wearing,” Chidi, a former associated editor at Raw Story, continued in video he uploaded to social media.

“What’s the matter with the shoes I’m wearing?” the man interrupted again, saying his shoes sported colors of the KKK’s emblem. “They’re red and black and white.”

Of course, when he wears them, we can be forgiven for misreading that logo as "F-ck U Bigoted Uglyass!"

- who like me when he was in high school wrote his senior paper on the re-emergency of white supremacy groups - learned of a white supremacy picnic happening at a "church" in Chicago when he lived there so he went to watch it from a bench in a park across the street. After the speeches and polemics, they started the picnic, and he guffawed loudly enough to attract their attention and some dirty looks when he saw the beers of choice were Corona and Dos Equis.

...amusing. Not unlike when Bush-Quayle appeared on stage at the end of their nominating convention to the iconic them song from La Cage Aux Folles.

Seeing this at a Klan event reminded me of several guys I served with. They made no bones about their dislike for blacks,,,even when their lives depended on it.
It starts young and obviously lasts a life time.
