Ku Klux Klan fliers were left at Selma homes on the 50th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday."
Robert Jones, the grand dragon of the Loyal White Knights of the KKK spoke with AL.com Sunday afternoon and said about 4,000 KKK fliers have been distributed throughout Selma and Montgomery in the last two weeks.
"We pretty much put out fliers, some against King and some against immigration," Jones said. "It's time for the American people to wake up to these falsehoods that they preach about MLK.
*snip*
Jones said the KKK is not upset about the gathering in Selma over the weekend, saying "Everybody has a right to gather in this country, freedom of speech." However, he expressed frustration about the support for Martin Luther King, Jr. and said people are "supporting a man they don't know about."
According to Jones, the fliers were also a way to try to attract new members and to remind the community the KKK still exists.
"The Klan is still out there and we are watching," Jones said.
According to Ashley Thompson, reporter for CBS 8 Montgomery, residents on Selma Avenue alerted the news station about the fliers and said they called police.

(90,778 posts)7. Apparently there are disloyal white knights of the kkk (the name implies).
Now, one wonders what that debate sounds like.
A hate-a-thon where haters declare they're the most loyal hating haters of all time?
Sick fucks all the way around.

I've seen it before in person. Cheap as printing quality and a message of blind hate. Nice to know the racist assholes haven't upgraded any over the years.
