Ku Klux Klan Did Not Endorse Obama
There is a crazy email going around claiming that the Ku Klux Klan endorsed Barack Obama on the basis of anything is better than Hillary Clinton. Have you seen this email forward? It’s a joke! Before you get all worked up….The Ku Klux Klan did NOT endorse Barack Obama, the email circulating originates from a satirical post on The Daily Squib. I guess the folks over there thought it would be funny. It certainly got some attention.
Excerpt:
White Christian Supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan has endorsed Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States of America.
Speaking from his Kentucky office in Dawson Springs, the Imperial Wizard exclaimed that anything or anyone is better (read the rest).

Was this supposed to be funny? I cannot believe we still have a KKK in this world. It is full of very small minded people who cannot see that everyone has the ability to be productive, creative members of society.

Thanks for clearing up that piece of information about the KKK supporting Obama. I wondered about that, and no one took the time to defrock the claim. Thanks.

I believe that this was a sad approach by the KKK to manipulate the voters perception of Obama and the negative people that “support” him….Everyone knows that the KKK would never want to see a black president no matter how fowl their white opponent may or may not be….This was their way of using the negative attention that they get to hinder Obama in his attempt and that just shows how absolutely ignorant people with such a mind frame are for believing that that approach would actually work…. They need to stop living in the past of all the wrong treatment and embrace the future that could be more positive for all of us…..

Darnell those photos ma have been doctored using a program like PhotoShop. The little sign the klan person is holding may have actually said something else there are ways to alter photos. If you read that article you will pick up on the irony/satire/sarcasm it is a spoof that has alot of people confused and upset. It Is NOT real.

It truly is sad that the UK and other parts of the world see America as a racist country. Not to mention that they feel it’s okay to poke fun at a very serious and sad situation in the United States. While the limitations of one skin may not hinder some cultures, it does others and it is quite a pity that the UK, an upstanding country would support a newspaper that demeans and makes fun of a very wonderful and historical moment that is taking place right now in the United States.

Ku Klux Klan, if you fear God, you would LOVE all men. Galatians 6:7-10 says “do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, LET US DO GOOD TO ALL PEOPLE, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” SINCE EVERY RACE BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF BELIEVERS, if you truly are God fearing you must obey the scriptures.

March 5th, 2008 at 8:26 am

March 10th, 2008 at 7:30 am

Just imagine if they did endorse Obama. It would simply be a ploy to vote him in, get Hillary out, and then switch back in November voting for McCain. They know Obama probably wouldn’t win against McCain considering the predominant white and overwhelming Hispanic vote for McCain.
We need to consider all possibilities and read between the lines so won’t don’t get blindsided!!!!
March 11th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
ive been reading some of the comments that was left and i believe that half the comments was left bye rich snoote yankys i do not believe the kkk is right but anyone in thise country if they are white black andian hispanic or muslim need to work and quit leaving on the goverment and ii beilieve hillary clinton is a joke and dose not have enough experience in politics to run this country and obama would be the better choich . the only reason hillary is getting close to winning in beacause of bill…..and just beacause we are from the south doesnt mean we are stupid are backwards are lazy … and the kkk is around beacause america is a free country .. if you are going to ridicule any organization it should be the neo nazis not the klue klux klan
March 13th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
i knew kkk didnt endorse obama because theyre against african american catholic and jews
and if obama becomes president then he will die like Martin Lutter King which i belive was killed by kkk
VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 15th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
I am sure they are loving all the attention this is getting them (the kkk). As for anyone who took that email seriously, they need to start thinking for themselves instead of beleiving every fw they receive.
April 10th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
I just spent 3 hours in a black owned beauty salon with black women that believe the whole KKK for Obama email fiasco!!! They now believe Obama is the anti-christ! and are voting for Hillary. Ignorance has no bounds!!!! Not once could I convince these women that this was a ploy, maybe one to cast doubt and fear. Sounds like a “Hillary for President” strategy to me. Go figure….. stupidity may be the true winner in November!!!
April 11th, 2008 at 9:07 am
SCARY!!!! This is why its so important for people to investigate things further! That is really sad but not surprising. Sometimes people hear something and just run with it.

I’m not expecting to change the beliefs of the representative of the KKK (Sherry) but can you please really think about what you’re saying? So what if white people become the minority. Are you scared that people will begin treating you the way you treat minorities? Stop living in fear, this is America and things are changing. I consider the TRILLION DOLLAR global tax and do you know why white people would be targeted? Because it’s a cycle. The majority of wealthy people are white and can you guess why this is? Because people like you do not want to open your minds and give people of different ethnicity a chance to opportunities. You are ignorant, Obama is a traitor because he wants to help people in Africa? What? I guess someone of your stature wouldn’t understand that their are innocent children dying from sarvation and AIDS. Now put yourself in their position, of course you can’t because not only do you live in America where opportunities are unlimited but you judge people by the color of their skin. I guarantee if you lived in the poorest country in the world and you were starving you would appreciate the little food that you recieved, from America. Yes, people die but if we as a country can do just that little bit that means so much we should. Although I agree that we should take care of the people of our country first including all ethnicities. And who are you to say that a person whom is not white cannot renew the principles of our constitution? That is ridiculous, sure it may not be Obama but a person of color is just as capable as a white person, believe it or not. I don’t know what century you’re living in but this is the 21st one, I don’t understand what you’re talking about removing homosexual indoctrination…that will never happen. There will always be gay people, there always has been gay people, accept it. It’s not like children go into school and our encouraged to be gay. If you’re gay you’re gay. It’s that easy. On a ending note I cannot believe that people of God such as yourself can even think this way. God is all loving and all accepting. It doesn’t say, “You must be white”…”O, you’re not white?”…”You’re going to hell!” hahaha You want to know what the joke is……KKK.

So what if white people become “the minority”?
The biggest misconception about america’s changing ethnic and racial makeup is that whites are turning into “the minority.” For one, there isn’t one other single minority group with numbers enough to overtake the majority which were whites. Last, I checked “nonwhite” (black yellow and brown) wasn’t specific enough to be considered a racial or ethnic group. What is happening is that the United states is becoming (or may already be) a nation of pluralities in which whites are the largest of them. After that, basically what will happen is this: In a large country such as the US, there will be certain regions where the population will resemble more of one type of race than the other for all different reasons, including race mixing. Eventually as more mixing happens it is likely that quite a few “mixed” areas of the country will spring up where the population appears primarily “white” or caucasian. There are already places in the world, some have been that way for centuries, some are more recent (for example, Latin and South America, Texas, parts of California, the Mediterranean, the Mideast) where this has already happened, and in certain cases whites are actually the majority even though they may now considered of a different ethnic grouping, such as hispanic-white. However physically, they are white nonetheless. It already happened in the old world and South America, and it will happen again in North America.

White Woman,
I do not share the same beliefs as the KKK, but as a proud American who believes in equal rights, and opportunity let me say this: It is utterly and absolutely insane of you to state that racism against minorities is the root cause for the wealth of white people. Yours is the type of belief that goes beyond the noble cause of fighting discrimination, and instead assumes that because whites have been guaranteed basic human rights that this is equivalent to privilige, and in turn causes more discrimination against non priviliged working class whites. (which are the majority of the group) Meanwhile, standards for the black community are arguably lowered as their skills to compete on a level playing field against whites are compromised by programs such as affirmitive action.
I believe discrimination is wrong. I believe it should be addressed whenever possible, so I also don’t believe that standards should be lowered for a select few in the name of diversity. I do believe that if family values, and personal responsibility and accountability are not of paramount importance, no type of government program is going to be completely effective. The government does need to play some role now though, but nothing as drastic as say, comprehensive health care. Perhaps doing more for the education of children by using the federal government to ensure that an equal amount of money is spent on each child in public schools could be a start. How about first scaling back the war, and then making illegal immigrants living within the borders citizens so they can add to the tax base, and then taking measures secure the border. Providing better medical assistance for the chronically ill, or raising wages, and putting a cap on oil investment to help lower commodities costs, which are adversely affected by increasing demand and peak production.

I know the KKK did not ,or will not endorse Barack Obama …. I do believe Osama Ben Laden might have!!!! There is no doubt this politician has a soft spot for Muslim terrorist. If we allow this MUSLIM to become president all non Muslim people will suffer… He has stated ” 20 billion dollars of additional add should be spent on Africa” Do you think this is because his cousin is the president of an African nation? I am sure that is not the reason< HA HA HA !!!! I believe a black man can and will be president one day, this is not the man or the day……
May 13th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Oh my gosh, it’s amazing to see how many people want to come out with their conspiracy theory propaganda. Let it go people!
May 19th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Robert Byrd of the KKK DID endorse Obama. Youtube it.
June 1st, 2008 at 9:25 pm
noooo it is true. here is proof!!! http://www.dailysquib.co.uk/?c=117&a=1227
June 4th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Who the hell is Osama BEN Laden?
You’re saying that because Obama wants more aid to go to Africa, that he is Muslim? This argument makes no sense.
June 5th, 2008 at 12:33 am
First of all, i would like to say how proud i am of Obama clinching the nomination. Secondly yes, Senator Byrd was a KKK member, but he’s not the member that people are referring to.
June 23rd, 2008 at 10:52 am
Its interesting how people argue against racism and voice their opinion on how horrible the KKK is. ITs especailly interesting how they try to justify their argument by accusing Racism in the white community is the reason why the majortiy of wealthy people are white. As a minority , i can justifiably argue that the minority have more rights than the rest. Is there a publicly advertised All White College… or All White Benefits Organization. Absolutely Not!!!!! That would be Racism… Correct?? But you can point out an All Black College, or how about national hollidays dedicated to all blacks. I would have to say that Hispanics get treated worste in America, and you really never hear them complain. As far as obama… i could care less. And as a military member, even though i should care i dont. I dont believe our votes even count. Even if they did, the electoral college can overide it anyways, so whats the freaking point. It doesnt matter who becomes president. Our economy is slowly going to shit, everyone can see that. Which president we nominate is only going to either speed up or slow down the process of our economical destruction. Thank you and have a nice day…
