Backlash emerges at parents who allowed child to dress as Klansman for Halloween

[Emit]

A Craigsville, Va., woman’s nonchalant reaction has sparked additional outrage after she allowed her 7-year-old son to dress for Halloween in the robes of a Ku Klux Klan member.

Jessica Black of Craigsville told WHSV in Virginia that there’s nothing wrong with the costume or the Ku Klux Klan. “It’s suppose to be white with white. Black with black. Man with woman and all of that.”

I have no words ...

[gopiscrap]

1. good, there should be a backlash to this

[derby378]

2. "I'll light a cross in your front yard - or treat"

Sheesh. And Jessie's logic is all messed up. If it's supposed to be white with white and black with black, then it only goes to follow that men should be with men. (Which some of you heartily agree with, and there's nothing wrong with that. )

3. "after she allowed"

Like it was his idea. BS. He's only 7. Mom was behind this.

5. Reminds me of little Adolf and his sister. What ever happened to those poor kids? nt

[arcane1]

6. Are they the ones whose dad wore a nazi uniform to his custody hearing?

7. Ughh, you had to make me google...

14. yeah, brilliant legal stretegy that it was nt

[treestar]

8. How would a kid pick that?

Or even know about it? Unless the parents talked about it.

[kestrel91316]

9. Keep it up, stoopit parents. Though we can always hope that

this kid wises up like those two girls: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_Blue

They went from full on white supremacists to genuine liberals once they grew up and got out into the real world.

10. Who the F**k would think something like this was OK?

11. Halloween: Dressed In KKK outfits, LYNCHING President Obama!

The latest in totally irresponsible, totally racist Halloween costumes has come to light in Hyndman, Pennsylvania, where this photo of Pennsylvania men dressing up as the Ku Klux Klan and lynching President Barack Obama was posted on Facebook.

Shared with the Baltimore Sun by (redacted) HERE, this picture sparked instant debate about the “racism” of the gesture, because some people felt that others should see the humour of a bunch of men dressing up like the KKK and pretending to lynch President Obama, America’s first and current black president. One Hyndman local had this to say about people’s reaction to the photo:

15. That is nauseating...

Sometimes, I think electing our first black president only made it easier for people to become openly racist.

[napkinz]

19. "made it easier for people to become openly racist"

Not so much BECOME. They were already racist.

And not PEOPLE in general, but REPUBLICANS.

--

Yes, nauseating. And frightening.

[GentryDixon]

12. The ignorance of these people is astounding. n/t

[indepat]

13. The number of brain-washed and/or brain-dead in our society would be incomprehensible

were it not for right-wing hate being preached on the radio and elsewhere in the media.

[Ed Suspicious]

16. Thirty years ago my shithead racist stepdad

and complicit mom did the same to me. I was dressed in a white robe and hood. Given a flashlight attached to a stick to act as a torch, and just to make sure nobody confused me with a ghost or something more innocuous, they marketed the letters K.K.K. across the front of the robe.

I didn't really have any clue what I was supposed to be. I just felt uncomfortable as the unsuspecting neighbors grimaced as they gave candy to the little racist kid.

17. Considering the area, this doesn't really surprise me

An area where the clock is still stuck in antebellum Virginia time. Drove through there a couple of weeks ago and there were Cuccinelli signs all over the place. The Klan still has strongholds in western Virginia. Believe me, I speak from firsthand experience.

18. This just goes to show

That ignorance and bigotry are alive and well in our nation despite laws being changed etc

20. We've got a nation of Cartman's

Since Eric Cartman wasn't allowed to dress up as Hitler for Halloween, what do you think of his ghost costume?
