Gas bag wants the Klan to rise from its ashes. |
Linden, Alabama's The Democrat-Reporter has told Goodloe Sutton to find the door.
The old fart said on his way out, "I can drink beer and chase women now. They can't run too fast, or I can't catch them."
The old fart said that in an editorial post, "[The] Klan need to ride again."
The Klan still around. |
He added, "People who do not understand the Constitution do not like to be responsible. Slaves, just freed after the civil war were not stupid. At times, they borrowed from their former masters' robes and horses and rode through the night to frighten some evil doer. Sometimes they had to kill one or two of them, but so what."
The old fart was unrelenting. He made up some pseudo-history about how the elites are destroying traditional family values.
A black woman has to clean up the ugly. |
This old fart had a history of making racially and ethnically remarks in his editorials.
They replaced him with a Black woman who is willing to make the newspaper, "everybody's paper."
Elecia Dexter will now take over the newspaper. She condemned the former editor's remarks about lynchings being daily routine to clean up towns.
A change for the better, I guess.
The Ku Klux Klan was founded by veterans of the Confederacy. It was a white fraternity group before it became a mainstream hate group. In the earliest 20th Century, the Klan had nearly 5 million people. By the 1950s and 60s, the last major reassurance of the Klan was during the civil rights fight.
The Klan recruited lawmen, politicians, judges and random white boys to do the dirty work. Many people died when they took those dangerous drives in the South. Martin Luther King, Jr. and many in the civil rights movement were considered enemies of the Klan.
