Responding To KKK Fliers, Residents Form Association
Source: greeneville sun

Residents of Greeneville's Meadowlark subdivision have formed a neighborhood association in response to the recent discovery of Ku Klux Klan fliers on numerous lawns there.

LeRoy Ripley, who lives near the subdivision, said the discovery of Klan fliers in plastic bags that were strewn on neighborhood lawns earlier this month has raised safety concerns among residents.

Many of the neighborhood's residents are African-Americans, according to Ripley.

He noted that one African-American woman resident, who works at night, has been so concerned that she has asked Greeneville police to escort her home each night when she gets off work.

In response, he said, a neighborhood association has been formed; its first meeting is scheduled for Thursday evening.

Among other things, the letter denounced illegal immigration, "Black, Hispanic and Asian gangs," and homosexuality.

5. KKKers
are usually backedup by white supremicist theology. I.e., "white" people" are the saved and others are subhuman and "unsaved."

heh. Enjoy your stay.

7. The KKK is a "christian" organization.
We are promoters of White Christian civilization. We believe that the concepts of private property, free enterprise, representative government, parental rights, freedom of speech, right to trial by jury, right to address the government for a redress of grievances, etc. are essential ingredients for a civilized and moral society. These are concepts born out of the genius of white men and women. We give credit to all men and women who helped instill these cherished ideas into the hearts of our founding ancestors. These cherished and essential ingredients to a civilized and moral society are born out of the white race. These concepts are a direct product of the White race. It is white culture. When we give honor to these ideals we give honor to our ancestors and our White Christian culture.

4. I think I'd actually pay to see a *MS-13 vs The KKK match-up
not anywhere near a populated area, of course. The results would probably be very interesting.

(*Insert your preferred gang name here.)
