5. The other thing I found awful for Tweety to say is that the KKK didn't matter anymore. He

said "How many members do they have, 20? I'm an old white lady who grew up in PA and had only heard of the KKK in the newspaper. Then I moved to SC. The KKK is quite alive and a whole lot more populated than 20! I was the Finance mgr. for a business there and used to work most Saturdays for at least few hours. I heard on the TV & the Radio that the KKK wa holding a big rally in the town I had to drive through to get to my office, and I refused to work that day. I was scared. I'm still not sure why because as I said, I'm not black, but they always talk and act so very mean and angry, I guess I feared them being angry at me for not being on their side. I'm going to send an email to Tweety and tell him just how wrong he is!
