Targeting? Yes, believe it or not hate groups direct hate towards particular groups. It's not a new concept or anything. Standing before our city speaking to the inferiority of other races is no laughing matter.

Why are you providing this group cover by admonishing anyone that would dare organize a demonstration to voice opposition? You do know press about opposing a hate group is good right?

And here we go. Let the personal attacks begin. Either debate the issue or don't. I have no time for your insinuations or baseless assertions.

How do you maintain credibility when you say you hate racism from both sides, but tell others to just ignore this white hate group?

Saying the KKK is no threat is only a red-herring distracting from the reality that this event has become very significant, drawing its constant attention locally and a national following. Telling people to ignore it demonstrates a callousness and disregard to those that are targets of this group's hate. You refuse to show any concern towards the minorities affected. Then you go so far as to lob personal attacks at me for standing up for someone that happens to be outside of my race. Really? Maybe you should look into the full spectrum of groups the KKK opposes.

I didn't "admonish" anyone. You've been the one doing that. I simply explained that I have a different view of it than you do. YOU are the one who has been questioning MY morals and work ethic over it.

I've been trying to be pleasant and moderate and to temper my comments. But you want to take the gloves off and go? Fine.

I think you're extremely arrogant. I think your need to walk out in public and protest against these morons is less about being noble than it is about feeding your own ego. "Hey! Look at me! See! I'm standing up for people of other races!"

I find a great deal of arrogance in thinking that people of color need you to stand up for them because they're what...? Somehow incapable? Or because your word will carry more than theirs because you're white? To me, *that* is offensive.

I believe that there is some insecurity in you that makes you need attention for your stance on this issue. So you're not racist -- great. Congratulations for clearing one of the most basic and lowest hurdles of being a decent human being. Do you want a cookie for it?

Unless you spend every spare minute of your life out demonstrating against things you find offensive, get off your high horse and stop berating people on the sole basis of the fact that they choose their battles differently than you.

Or, to put it in words that you might understand better, come down off the cross. We need the wood.
