Do you have a link to a source for your claims that Asians were considered "white" in the Jim Crow South and that Asians joined the White Citizens Council?

Sunflower County, Miss. — 'ARE LEBANESE white people?" we asked 71-year-old Ned Holder, a former sheriff here. "Yes," he said, "although they're real dark." How about Italian Catholics; are they white? Sure. And Jews? Yes. What about the Chinese? "Yes," he said, "they go to the white schools." And Mexicans? "They're becoming more white. More of them are getting an education."
Interesting.

I admit I'm a uneducated man, but yet I'm able to easily refute claims from the Anti-immigrant crowd.
What anti-"immigrant" crowd? Perhaps you are in the wrong forum then.

Now I've watched a few seconds of some poor programming (before I changed it) and have heard people say they were White Supremists but they actually stated that.

Just because someone states they are fed up with being taken for a ride by a parasitic, new population doesn't mean anything more than people are fed up with being taken for a ride. It reads pretty simple to me. If you are going to try and twist the words of a majority, expect some push back.

the (KKK, "Klan", KLU KLUX KLAN) are idiots. if you want to argue that point, knock yourself out...free country.

I agree, any racist-supremists group should not be defended. However, it isn't only the white variety that we have in this country. Unfortunately some "browns" are not willing to admit that. Numbers wise there are a lot more "brown" racist-supremists groups and individuals than there are members of the KKK anymore.

From the Kennedys to the Obamas both parties keep bringing in immigrants to work and vote for them . Nothing new , only now it's getting to this is not even America anymore .

I'm old so I really don't care anymore . And the younger generation who don't have a clue thanks to my generation and the ones before me .

While the invaders get in the streets and bust inot congrssional meeting the dumb white vleders keep emailing, calling those who don't listen or care what they want .

50 years ago before the communist took over both parties these people would have been met in the streets with counter protest by young and old alike .

Most Americans know more about Britany Spears latest fling , Sports stars and other entertainment than they do about the criticle condition of their nation .

My only satisfaction will be that al the people who are helping to bring down this antion will have to live in what they created along with the rest of us .

The KKK on the rise? Due to the immigration debate?

Guys, I know many of you are against illegal immigration. Just, please, don't give power to any of these KKK idiots. They tried to take over Dominica in the 1980s. Let's not give them any more firepower!
What are there left, maybe two dozen half witted morons? I am surprised these dinosaurs get any press time at all. In fact maybe they are just made up left wingers trying to stir the pot. We should take baseball bats to them either way.

Where were you all, a couple of weeks ago? They could have used more tough-guy supporters.

Features: The Klan Returns - Flagpole Magazine: Colorbearer of Athens, GA (http://flagpole.com/Weekly/Features/TheKlanReturns-3Mar10 - broken link)

“A select few of us have come here today to peacefully protest the immigration issues the current administration is failing to address. Wake up, Georgia, and stop the Latino invasion now!”

"For 40 minutes the wizard explained why the U.S. should close its borders and deport 'the third world mud people.' He let the crowd in on one of the Klan’s many conspiracy theories: that our government gives Mexicans handouts as a way of buying their votes. 'All them new voters are going to vote against the very things we’ve been fighting for for 200 years,' he proclaimed.
***
"Beyond advocating 'ridding our country of inbred mongrels,' Jones called for new leadership. He said we need another Hoover, Truman or Eisenhower, because they all deported Mexicans. He called on voters to oust the 'cackling liberals who are working on this communist/socialist agenda' and said that President Obama 'isn’t fit to run a Winn Dixie.' Sounding at times like a Tea Party leader, the wizard urged listeners to kill NAFTA, stop welfare, institute the Fair Tax and to take up arms. He also called on the government to get out of Haiti, to bring Christianity back into our courts and schools, and to take care of 'the Anglo-Americans who founded this country.'"
