I hear Deez Nuts was also a popular choice of dimwits everywhere.

This KKK stuff is sad, but a march itself isn't alarming. It's the idea that the Klan crawling out of their holes is "okay" now.

If people who are not racists, but voted for Trump, cannot acknowledge that Trump was indeed the racists' top choice for president, they're not in touch with reality.

Trump's campaign has incited a good deal of racist, xenophobic behavior. And he has not denounced it.

He needs to do that. Very soon. He won't lose support from these people, but it'll send a signal that this stuff needs to be dialed back.

Big whoop! Some KKK freaks voted for Trump. So be it. It doesn't make all Trump supporters KKK members.

Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were Democrats. Does that make all Democrats bombers?

Stupid post...

Don't play into the KKK. They're like little children that need adult attention. Ignore them and they can stay in oblivion.

What happens if he doesn't? Liberals tried to slander him with some false allegations, and some true stuff too. America still voted for him. Making up a list of hoops he must jump through to make him more politically correct would lose his supporters. We didn't vote for him to be politically correct.

Black people and other minorities don't have the luxury of ignoring a group that has found a new sense of empowerment by Trump's election. You just don't get it.

Relying on Snopes saying something 'is real' is funny.... This photo was taken on Tucker Street overpass in Burlington, by a motorist who made a claim without certainty. That was later debunked by the chief of BPD as only Trump supporters.

I can assume this tweet was texted while 'Shorty Guizmen' witness people walking on the side of the bridge.
Which is more concerning breaking the law by texting and driving.

Also, at least the folks on the side of the bridge verses these protests that occur across the nation walking in the middle of roads and bridges likely without a permit to do so.

The Klan has the Dec. 3rd parade listed on their own website. So, yeah - it's real.

Please enlighten us. How does Trump's victory add a sense of empowerment to the KKK? Who cares what the KKK senses? Does it add any real empowerment? If so, how? Why did minorities vote for Trump if the KKK gained "power"? Please enlighten me so I may gain more knowledge.

If you don't understand how fringe groups like the KKK and White nationalist movements have been brought into the mainstream by Trump's election, then I don't know what to tell you. Trump's campaign was run by a White nationalist. This represents a legitimatization of groups once thought to be extreme or fringe, and they now feel empowered to openly and boldly declare their disdain for minorities (or worse) since the guy who embodied many of their views is now the president-elect of the United States.
