...while we all take the bigotry behind this absurd display seriously, it deserves as much ridicule as we can manage through our outrage.

Personally, I'm not moved in the least by these elitist white men parading around at night and I see only their ridiculousness. I won't give them the benefit of taking them seriously.

Ridicule them, ostracize and isolate them. Make this nonsense as uncool for participants as those of us in the community that abhor the behavior can project. Taking them seriously doesn't seem to be a productive way to address them.
