Tristero : Arguing With The Right: "I'm Not Here To Defend The Klan." Excellent website by Tristero, and a great rebuttal of the apologist tripe spewed forth by Clubbeaux. I was willing to give David Sims at Clubbeaux the benefit of the doubt in his initial observations. However as the debate in the comments section proceeded it was clear to see that this wasn't just an objective look at the Klan and the issues around it, but rather another chance to bash Liberals for (sarcasm on) their unreasonable prejudice against the simple hard-working misunderstood salt of the earth types who seek the klan as a way of expressing their anger with the government (sarcasm off). We are supposed to buy into the idea that the Klan is not a racist violent group of yahoos but rather a legitimate group formed to empower the middle class whites who have been unjustly oppressed. So, they just happen to embrace the idea that white people should blame black people for all their problems and that they can fight back with intimidation and fear? For me to accept the idea that the klan really targets the government is to ignore the role that powerful state and local officials had in bringing about the klan as a way of tryin to reclaim their white-only monopoly over who runs the government. The underlying premise of the klan and its ilk is that their government has been hijacked by the blacks, immigrants and minorities as well as the "liberals" to transform the government into a hideous totalitarian state that seeks to destroy the white race, who built the country all by themselves. yeah right.... To claim that the only option that middle class whites have is to dress up in white robes and to reignite old race wounds is ludicrous. Its a lame apology for people who are racist violent and ignorant. | |
