Ignoring it only makes it easier to spread.  I am really bothered by this...now I just have to figure out what to do about it!

What worries me is that most of us are oblivious to the fact that this threat even still exists.

I haven't heard a thing about them in years.  I was shocked to see just how active they are.  It's horrifying!

bel..we really do need to wake up and resmell the coffee...
its too easy to start lumping everyone into the same mould because we think its "appropriate" and maybe the easiest thing to do....I have never in anything I've read or studied seen where hatred accomplished anything positive....

You have touched upon an important issue. We have a homegrown situation that is coming to a head.

Hey, who's got your all riled up???

Good post...Sadly, hate is here to stay but we can definitely educate ourselves and our children - usually hatred, the kind that you see on the KKK website is a direct result of:

  • Ignorance
  • no or poor education and/or low IQ
  • Inbreeding

You said it well, Bel.   Many people just ignore active hatred because that is easier for them.   If you don't see it, its not there.  Right?   Wrong!
