KKK Group Aims To Adopt Highway For Litter Control

[moonbladem]

ATLANTA - A Ku Klux Klan group is trying to join Georgia's "Adopt-A-Highway" program to clean up litter on a mile-long stretch of road, creating a quandary for state officials hesitant to acknowledge a group with a violent, racist past on a roadside sign

I think that place would get a hell of a lot more trash once people saw the KKK sign.

I would litter that stretch of highway as much as I possibly could.

[cuterabbit33]

Exactly. I'm normally a clean person (outside of the house, anyway) but if I saw such a sign while I was driving, it would be incredibly hard to resist chucking as much junk I had with me as possible toward that area.

"It's alright for blacks or Latinos or anybody to have their own groups," she said. "It's alright for churches to adopt a highway. But if white folks stick together, we're racist."

Why YES, YOU FUCKING ARE.

*facepalms forever*

I can't tell you how much I love hearing this sort of argument from white people. "There's a black history month, why isn't there a white history month? There's the NAACP, why can't WE have our own group?"

Poor, poor marginalized white folk. Their woes just break my heart.

Because the NAACP doesn't fucking terrorize and kill people, that's why.

BUT THE BLACK PANTHERS REVERSE RACISM WHARBLEGARBLE

Basically, though. Bunch of fuckery. Edit for grammar fail.

She missed the point so hard it lapped her and came back around and missed her again.

They don't really miss the point so much as they just zoom right by it, not giving two rips about being wrong. Ignorance bugs me. Willful, boastful ignorance makes me just completely nuts.

White folk already have a group in this country. It's often referred to as "mainstream American society."
