Black criminals, on average, kill a couple dozen people A DAY in America. But by all means, let's worry and wring our hands about some politically incorrect white group putting up some flyers.

I think you`re thinking back 40 years or more .. I`m trying to remember that big white sign that was on the hill just past lacy springs that clearly stated that people of certain color should not let the sun go down on them in Arab .. I could be mistaken .. I bet someone has a picture though ...

I have heard of the sign but have never seen it but it was Arab. I have lived in Arab for 10 years and I have seen a change although I am sure there are still racist here but there are also new people who have moved here from other places who are more tolerant of all races.

After being a moderator on other state/city forums I can tell you racism isn't just in the south.

This is another example of the degradation of AL.com. Honestly, the flyer is not that offensive except for the "KKK" part. You could easily sub "black" for white and it would not be offensive at all. Another example of AL.com trying to be provocative and get more "clicks".

Sad times we live in.

Huh. That's relevant. I didn't get my goodie bag from the Rollin' 40s Crips or Trap Boyz this year, did you?

I know nothing about the KKKs in Cullman but just want to add to Keeper's last sentence. I've lived in metropolitan "liberal" cities like NYC and LA and I can tell you that racism is more obvious & blatant in those cities than what I have seen or experienced here. I have experienced "reverse racism" from the black communities just from driving through their neighborhoods or showing up in Malls where blacks frequent. So this goes both ways.

From my colleagues, they tell me that KKK exists not just in Cullman, but just outside of Huntsville as well.

The Flyer is not that offensive? Really? Save the Aryan race? ZOG? It's the evil juice fault? bet you are a Hitler admirer too.

More proof of what I stated in the other post above.

Nah, it is really not that offensive. Save the Aryan, Mexican, bla bla bla race is not offensive at all to me. Thanks for throwing in the towel by bringing up Hitler.

Sad times indeed.

More than likely it is just some kids trying to get people stired up. We had someone going around spray painting cars, including a police car and sidewalks with NS.. People and police were trying to figure out what the initials stood for. Everyone was sure it was a gang symbol. Turns out 2 young men were playing around probably after having a little too much to drink. They turned themselves in and got a hefty community service hours for the foolishness.

Could be legit but I seriously doubt it. Most of the people who belong or join the KKK are not accepted by calling and saying I will join. REALLY??

According to Wikipedia, Cullman is 0.01 percent African American, but 8.2 percent Hispanic or Latino.
I guess the best way to find out how much racism there is in that town is to interview the non-whites who live there.
