Thread: The year in hate

I hate the COTC. If you haven't already noticed, I'm a strong Christian, and guess what... Creators hate Christianity.

My point was that the KKK gets blamed for every bit of white racial violence. Look at this thread. It started out as the Klan murdering a marine, turned out it was the COTC.

I would say that most of the violence is not organised. Most Klans do not communicate. I can well believe that you have clashed violently with white racists. I can well believe that some groups do march and burn crosses in public.

However, are they part of a wider 'southern' conspiracy? No.

Blaming all white racially motivated violence on one organisation is not only unfair, but dangerous, as it gives power to the violent groups who act independently.

For example, you might say 'the Klan beat him up'. That would be like saying 'the Church opposed the Bill'. What Church? Where? Who?

Just as not all Christians are in one organisation, and act with one mind, not all people who are in a Klan act in even a remotely unified manner.

Hell, most of these groups are so paranoid (and who can blame them) that they will only let people they have known all their lives into their Dens.

I'm not arguing that certain local organisations do not make trouble. I AM arguing that it is a localised phenomenon, and that the groups are acting independantly.

On another note, Skinheads (as a group) originated in the London/Bristol wharves, where the workers shaved their heads for some reason. (I can't remember if it was for safety reasons or what). Anyway, the dockworkers started the tradition of shaved heads, tattoos, black boots, white/red laces, suspenders, and racial pride/violence. They brought it over to America during the depression.

Klansmen wear the robes & hoods because they see themselves as monk/priest-like figures. They are the warrior-priests of White Christianity. The hoods come straight from European Catholicism, where priests would wear hoods while they were ostentasiously doing good works, so that no-one would know who they were.

For humility's sake, you see. The idea was, they would do the good works (keeping the negroes in their place), but they wouldn't get a big head from all the people giving them kudos in the street.

Trouble is, in most places it is illegal to wear a mask in a public place, so they just cut the face out of the hood. These days, they don't give a stuff if people recognise them.

Ever see Godfather 1 or 2? (I forget which) There is a procession (some Roman Catholic parade), and priests are carrying something on their shoulders (like a casket). Interesting thing is, they are wearing black robes with peaked hoods exactly like Klan robes. Even today in Malta monks travel through the streets giving money to the poor wearing the big hooded masks.

Cross-burning is a very old tradition hailing from Scotland. The idea is to show the light of Christ to the world. It also has the added effect of being really scary.

I have no illusions about racial violence. I know how violent people can get about these issues. There is little so intense as racial pride/hatred. That said, it is NOT a one-way street. In Australia, Anglo's are assaulted by non-Anglo's all the time. We have gangs of Lebanese youths who like to gang-rape Anglo girls. They never pick on their own girls, just 'Aussie pigs'. My mate has been beaten up three times by Aborigonals because he refused to give them cigarettes (he doesn't smoke). My dad was nearly killed when a gang tried to carjack the vehicle he was in.

I've never been to America, but from talking to friends, looking at crime figures, and reading the newssources it seems the same in America. People seem to think that only white people can be racist. But I tell you, every time a white girl is raped by non-whites, every time a white father is killed, another David Lane is born.

If people really want to end racial strife, you have to hit racial inequality. I don't know how things are in the States, but over here Aborigonals are given tremendous lattitude because of the injustices (imagined or real) committed against their ancestors.

All this does is promote intolerance. By reversing the situation (that is, giving Aborigonals a favoured status unnder the law, instead of whites) they have done nothing to solve the problem.

Ask yourself just why these people hate other races. Many will have legitimate grievances, even if the way they go about things in reprehensible.
