KKK App

some lunchtime reading here (before i step out for a few minutes to snap on the Holga!)

in the 20’s the criteria for a KKK applicant was:

“…white, male Gentile person of temperate habits, sound in mind and a believer in the tenets of the Christian religion, the maintenance of White Supremacy and the principles of pure Americanism”

the moment we begin to confuse Christ’s ideals with “the American Way”, we fall down a slippery slope.

very interesting article from my hometown newspaper, no less, by way of Negrophile.

  • Calm, "of sound mind", and Christian in beliefs and behaviors = KKK? My head just went explody. That kind of cognitive dissonance can give a nice Episcopalian girl a headache. :D

    touche' hamburger lad :)
  • Gee, I can't apply either. I fall short on that "pure Americanism" thing. I'm only part Native American--some ancestor started spoiling the family with that tainted European blood. ;-)

    Oh well, more sheets for the bed....
  • where do i send my application?!

    oh... wait... i'm black.... hahaha! the KKK amuse me
