The Ku Klux Klan held a rally at the Statehouse Grounds in South Carolina in defense of the Confederate flag and it went terribly wrong for the white supremacist group. Things got so bad that the Klan had to leave with one Klansman whispering to another, Weve got problems. We wonder what gave it away.............

New Black Panthers:
The NBPP is notable for its anti-white and anti-Semitic hatred. Its leaders have blamed Jews for the 9/11 terrorist attacks and for the slave trade. The late former party chairman Khalid Abdul Muhammad has said, "There are no good crackers, and if you find one, kill him before he changes." A document on the NBPP website entitled "The Nationalist Manifesto" claims that white men have a secret plan to commit genocide against the non-white races. It also refers to black people who condone mixed-race relationships as the "modern day Custodians [sic] of Uncle Tom's Cabin."
I hate white people. All of them. Every last iota of a cracker, I hate it. We didn't come out here to play today. There's too much serious business going on in the black community to be out here sliding through South Street with white, dirty, cracker whore bitches on our arms, and we call ourselves black men. What the hell is wrong with you black man? You at a doomsday with a white girl on your damn arm. We keep begging white people for freedom! No wonder we not free! Your enemy cannot make you free, fool! You want freedom? You going to have to kill some crackers! You going to have to kill some of their babies!"
King Samir Shabazz, head of the party's Philadelphia chapter, in a National Geographic documentary, January 2009
Yup. Lots of pride there. And heritage. Nobody seems to mind since, well.... The hate's pure, vitriolic, and ultimately reduces those who revel in such things to just about the same level as the KKK.
Shabazz is not a free fool, sadly, either. But his shackles he donned himself and wears, thinking they do him honor. Idjit.

(17,086 posts)Any particular reason you chose to bring them into the discussion? There are a bunch of groups listed here: http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups and the great majority appear to be white identity groups, but I'm glad you were able to show us that the hate is really more evenly distributed.

After finally being escorted out of the garage, a dumbass Klansman wrecked his car about a block away.
Comgen did not make that up.
A white supremacists car just crashed into a pole on the corner of Senate and Lincoln. #ColumbiaSC http://t.co/14XwLyzCAX

(10,893 posts)who finds it ironic that the KKK celebrates White pride/heritage/whatever they call it, yet some of them wore black in that 2 minute clip?
