What Is Wrong With Kansas; this among other things
Neo-Nazis setting up base in KCK

Aryan Nations has a violent, racist history

By JUDY L. THOMAS

The Kansas City Star

The Aryan Nations — one of the most notorious neo-Nazi groups in the United States — is moving its national headquarters to Kansas City, Kan., causing alarm among civil rights groups.

The group's members, who believe that Jews are “the children of Satan” and African-Americans are “beasts of the field,” chose Kansas City, Kan., because of its central location, said “High Counsel” August B. Kreis III.

8. Kansas City is in Missouri, no?
Just one more of those weird things about America. Odd that the article lists it as Kansas City, Kan., although it is on the border. Oh well, I guess the authors know what they're talking about. :shrug: Maybe they're moving to the Kansas side.

11. The "Kansas" part of KC is considered to be a crime-ridden area full of
ignorant thugs by the folks the other side of State Line Road.

16. because lots of whites live in Kansas, like fred phelps....
since almost all white rascists claim to be christians, but are not too christ like IMO, the midwest is a good recruiting ground.

as we all know, adolf hitler is in heaven ... if he accepted jesus in his heart before he died, all his sins were forgiven and heaven is his. just like it will be for BTK the cub scout leader.

22. Kansas City, Kansas is only 49% white
Data here.

It sits in Wyandotte County, which was one of the 2 counties out of 105 in Kansas where Kerry won in 2004.

If they hate African-Americans and liberals so much, these dumbfucks would do better to find a place full of white racist conservatives. But I guess if they thought things like this through well, they wouldn't be Neo-Nazis.

19. Kansas City, KANSAS is a scary place..
I am a native Kansan, and I avoided that place like the plague.. Kansas City, MISSOURI is a world away, even though it's just on the other side of the river:)

21. What's right with Kansas....A very important update
From a March 4th article. (One day after the article above.)

Neo-Nazis dump plans for KCK headquarters

From the article:

"Throughout the day Thursday – prior to Juba's stepping down -- reaction to the news that the Aryan Nations was moving its headquarters to Kansas City, Kan., ranged from community outrage to promises from law enforcement agencies to monitor the group.

Thursday night, the Unified Board of Commissioners of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., unanimously reaffirmed a 1998 resolution condemning racism and hatred. It pledged that any group furthering those beliefs would not be tolerated.

"This community will continue to use all lawful means at our disposal in cooperation with the state and the federal governments to eradicate such behavior in our community," said Mayor Carol Marinovich.


http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/11045696.htm

Anyone who know anything about Wyandotte County Kansas where Kansas City KS is located would know that WyCo has the least Aryan Nation type demographic of the state. Also, before you go hatin' on Kansas City KS, realize the residents there are the most reliable Democratic voters in the state. (Except for Douglas County.)

We may be a bunch of ignorant hicks out here but we still know a hate-peddler when we see one and we don't like them anymore then others.

Do people really think people in Kansas like or support people like Fred Phelps? Most don't. Surprising to some I bet.
