Right, they actually claim to be a Christian organization. their number one enemy is the Jewish people.

Black power is rise above oppression

White power is “we are the master race

White power created a necessity for black power to rise above it.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? I would have thought the opposite.

The Klan wasn't limited to the South, far from it. Lots of chapters in the Midwest and the West.

BLM signs and flags and KKK ones could be seen as being equal because they are both symbols of extremist groups and they remove any doubt that the person displaying them is ignorant.



ALL Lives Matter. Singling one out above others is in fact racist.
comical isn't it, the Cape screams "white privilege" - flying that flag in the yard makes them feel better....lol

In a free country everyone has a right to free speech and they should never face punishment for exercising that right. To answer your question not one thing stands in the way of black racist putting up their own symbols.

I believe everyone’s free speech is worth fighting for, that includes the speech of those I support, the speech of those I don’t support and even the speech of some really lousy people. I would rather tolerate some really stupid speech then risk the rights of Americans. I have no doubt the founding fathers would agree.

Its an affront to the constitution to even think about it.

Being rude has never been illegal. Otherwise everyone in DC would be behind bars.

Interesting. When I see a KKK flag - I assume the person is trash and likely was a trump supporter.
