3. That one KKK guy from 3:42-3:47

said they hate (insert derogatory terms for Blacks, Latinos, Jews, and gays). One thing that struck me is how they left out other racial/ethnic groups and religions. Are these Klansmen unaware that Native Americans, Asians, Muslims, etc. exist, or do they not see them as a threat?

He also goes on to say that &quot insert derogatory name for Blacks) are taking over". Taking over WHAT? For starters, taking over the entire country would be hard for us to do, anyway, as we only make up 13% of the population. Secondly, unemployment has been high for years in the Black community, we have the lowest income out of any racial/ethnic group, and our right to vote is steadily being taken away. How is that "taking over"?

5. I was appalled at how easy he found it to just admit out loud

that he hates each of those groups! No doubt he would have included Asians, etc., had he thought about them. Modern right wingers at least know not to come out and say it - they just imply it and then disingenuously deny it when challenged.

It is ridiculous about "taking over" and he probably thinks the President decides everything and naturally a black president means African Americans are taking over. Brains are not the guy's strong suit.

It struck me too that the sheets meant they were hiding their identities. They were at least that aware that what they were doing was wrong. It's more appalling that the modern ones are willing to be identified.

6. "How is that "taking over"?"

They want a "Turner Diaries" purge.

Worldwide.

There is something about these Aryan Race types that they really believe they are God's People. As such, in any "negotiations" it is to be understood that they sit at the head of the table and everything must meet with their approval before it goes into effect.

However, they also suffer from a massive persecution complex because they believe everyone else is jealous of them and wants what they have.

There is also this mistaken notion I refer to as the "Freedom Pitcher". These guys act like freedom was in a pitcher and those who got it came up in a line and had their glass filled and the pitcher is now empty. Then a new group comes up wanting freedom and everyone with a full glass was ORDERED to pour some from their glass to give to the new group. That went on and on with each new group until the freedom in each glass had to be watered down so it could be spread evenly. These people are enraged about being asked to lose more to give to others.

I tell these people they have it BACKWARDS. The more people who have freedom the harder it is to take it away. Applaud when a new group gets freedom because it strengthens yours.
