KKK Gives Out Goodie Bags to Recruit New Knights

 

Apparently, living in a post-racial America means the Ku Klux Klan uses candy to recruit people. Residents of a South Carolina subdivision woke up Sunday to bags of sweets and fliers that read "SAVE OUR LAND, JOIN THE KLAN," according to WHNS. The smarties and peppermints were left as part of the hate group's national night ride, held three times a year. 
Given that housing isn't as segregated as it was during the Klan's heyday, several recruitment packages ended up in the driveways of minorities. In that aspect, the KKK doesn't discriminate. "I mean, we can't tell who lives in a house, whether they're black, white, Mexican, gay, we can't tell that," Robert Jones, a high ranking member, told WHNS. "And if you were to look at somebody's house like that, that means you'd be pretty much a racist."

This isn't a one-off incident. As NBC News reported Tuesday, the Klan is trying to leverage the recent immigration debate into a membership bump. "Save our land" fliers appeared in two Atlanta neighborhoods recently — a member of that Klan chapter said they received 25 applications (racists are selective) and "the immigration crisis is recruiting members for us." Whether that's actually the case isn't clear yet, but Mark Potok at the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that monitors hate groups, said the Klan has used immigration as a propaganda tool in the past.

The fliers handed out in South Carolina listed a phone number that led to a voicemail with the sort of hateful messages you'd expect — "if it ain't white, it ain't right. White power" — with a focus on how "illegal immigration is destroying America." Some of the residents in the neighborhood said they were afraid, and one woman said she felt like she was being watched. "Everybody in our neighborhood does," she said. People were also angry and "ashamed to face our neighbors that do not have the same color skin that we do," as the woman said.

EZEKIEL 35:1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

PSALMS 137:7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
