>>Burning crosses signal return of Ku Klux Klan

Police in Durham, North Carolina, have launched an investigation after three crosses were set alight in one night - triggering fears that the Ku Klux Klan may have targeted the city. Yellow leaflets, purportedly produced by the KKK, were found at the site of one of the burning crosses.

While burning crosses have long been associated with the Klan, people in Durham said this was the first time for a generation that such an incident had been reported in the city. Students of the Klan also say that it is vastly reduced in its membership and influence from 40 years ago. It may be that the crosses were simply set ablaze by pranksters.

"At this day and time, I thought we'd be beyond that," said the city's mayor, Bill Bell. "People do things for different reasons, and I don't have the slightest idea why anyone would do this."<<

If this shit can happen in Raleigh-Durham, it can happen anywhere in the New South.

I didn't sign up for this shit when I made up my mind to live in Virginia.

3. The Right Wing Republican party today is almost a replica of the

old KKK . If you have seen any old pictures or have seen any documentaries of the KKK you will see the similarities

4. The Klan has never left in the hearts of many

5. Every fascist regime needs well defined and well ingrained scapegoats

for the massed to target anger on. Can't let the masses focus on the evil that rules the nation, they might actually stop the leaders if they look closely at truth.
