Some Triangle residents found a delivery in their driveways on Christmas Eve that clearly didn’t come from FedEx.
People in the White Oak area of Garner woke up Sunday morning to plastic bags containing propaganda from the East Coast Knights of the True Invisible Empire, a statewide chapter of the Ku Klux Klan.
Some of the bags distributed in the Hillandale neighborhood contained flyers that read, “White pride doesn’t mean hate! It’s OK, you can say it! I’m proud to be white! There is no need to feel guilty because of the past!”
The flyer asks, “Why can’t pro-white rights organizations exist without being labeled racist?” and, “Why are other races in this country allowed these rights, as they SHOULD, but not the folk of European ancestory (sic)?”
The bags also contained business cards, mints and rocks used to weigh them down.
I think the rocks are a nice touch.
You know just in case you wanted to stone any of your neighbors for daring to not be white.
Apparently if you call the number they ask you to leave a voice message. And I imagine they received some rather colorful recorded messages.
Look there is nothing inherently wrong with being proud of your heritage.
However to call for ethnic pride usually suggests that there was some reason that you were oppressed due to the color of your skin, that is simply not the case when it comes to being a Caucasian.
Instead our pigment has served as a blessing that typically affords us far more opportunities than our darker brothers and sisters.
And to be honest the KKK was NEVER about celebrating whiteness, it was about terrorizing and oppressing those who were not blessed lily white skin.
