1. YOU are proof that there is nothing supreme about whites
something along that line

Look up Stetson Kennedy and the Superman story-I read about it in Freakonomics very interesting.

55. Isn't it Ironic?
It's like the people who are actually in white supremecist groups have no real credentials to pride themselves on. They have nothing of value in character or achievment so they cling to their skin color to give them their sense of self importance.

23. I'm kinda reluctant...
on the Kkkristian thing...'cause I know there will be a lot of Christians there tomorrow to show their opposition to the klan. But the Kkkloset Kkkweens thing is gonna make it onto a sign.

30. "Red necks, white sheets and blue blood"
from one of Meathead's rants to Archie (oh dear, I do believe I have dated myself).

Carried by yours truly the day about fifty of my close friends helped chase the Klan clear out of Slidell, La. Once they heard we were in town and ready for them, in typical Klan fashion, they chickened out and headed for even tinier Pearl River (right across the state line from Bosshog's town of Picayune, MS: sorry 'bout that!)

Caution: One of the local organizers (we'd come up from N.O., obviously) chided me on the sign, claiming that many non-Klan sympathizers in the area identified as "rednecks". Be advised.

32. Good on ya...
for chasing them outta town. Some lilly-livered people here in Austin (including out idjit mayor) keep trying to tell people to just ignore them. He doesn't get it. We have to go mock them...make fun of them...let them know we think they're a fucking joke.

35. "Fight terrorism! Stop the Klan!"
I don't care what color or religion they are, if people burn a cross on my neighbor's yard, they're terrorists, plain and simple!

How many hooded faces of evil are expected? If it's a huge one like they just had in Toledo, it might be better to just have everyone board up their windows and give 'em the old "silent treatment". Otherwise, go get 'em!

36. Depending on your skin tone, this one would be funny.
"I'm whiter than you are and I like non white people."

My skin tone is light enough that I could get away with it. I love to torture those kkk cowards. I can't help myself.

Otherwise, here's another idea.
"You have control of the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Presidency, SCOTUS and pseudo religious science in the schools. What the hell else could you possibly want?"

Before we get too intimate here, big fella:
What exactly are the great historical accomplishments of "your" race that make you proud to be white?
Capitalism? Slavery? Genocide? Sitcoms? Guns? War? Pollution? Addiction? NAFTA? Thigh-Master?

(That is, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.)

42. That's a good one
One has to wonder about the courage and depth of their convictions since they aren't willing to show their faces. If they're so goddamn proud of what they believe in...why do they hide?

40. Better than signs
those stupid little boxes that laugh when you press the button. We had a march here some years ago and just about everybody carried one of those. We 'laughed' the Klan right off the street. The march and rally they had projected to take 3 hours ended up less than 20 minutes after it began.

of pointing and laughing...plus they're trying to organize Moon the Klan 2. It worked really well the first time...so hopefully we'll be dropping trou to show the klan exactly what we think about them.

45. Why are you supporting the Klan?
Imagine if NOBODY showed up to protest them? They thrive on people like you that come out and protest. They love it.
Without a crowd of angry protesters they get nothing. I say thats what they deserve- nothing.

47. wrong
You need to know about the history of Austin and the klan. The last time they were here...we mooned them en masse. It was hilarious. We have to go out and point at them and laugh...let them know how ridiculous and pitiful they really are. This isn't going to be some angry protest...it's gonna be a laugh riot.

What they deserve...is to be made fun of.
