Is that Tin Foil Covering the Window? Re: Alabama publisher of racist KKK editorial steps down.

.


WTH? If it is, tell me he knows that RF signals penetrate building walls too, especially that one.

A tiny Alabama newspaper has made some staffing changes after its publisher went viral for writing that it was “Time for the Ku Klux Klan to ride again” in an editorial.

The Democrat-Reporter of Linden, Alabama, announced Friday that Elecia R. Dexter will take over as publisher and editor from Goodloe Sutton, who has run the 140-year-old paper since the 1960s.
Dexter, 46, told The Associated Press that Sutton will retain ownership of the newspaper, which has a circulation of about 3,000, "but I will handle everything else."

The AP also notes that Sutton, 79, has a history of writing racist nonsense for the weekly paper in the five-plus decades that it's been under his supervision. Dexter, who as a black woman is about as far from an Alabama good ol’ boy as one can get, told the AP that she hopes her leadership will remind the community that the Democrat-Reporter is “everybody’s paper.”

The rambling and factually-incorrect editorial, entitled “Klan needs to ride again,” was published on Valentine’s Day without a byline.
