The KKK Rallied Before LSU And Ole Miss Game…Too Bad No One Was Feelin’ Their Efforts

The Klan tried to pop up over the weekend at Ole-Miss College, looking for support over their protest of the song “From Dixie with Love”:

Wearing traditional red, black and white robes and carrying flags representing the infamous hate group, about 10 hooded members of the Ku Klux Klan protested on the Ole Miss campus Saturday. The protest, held on the steps of Fulton Chapel, fizzled after less than 10 minutes and faced a large counter-protest from students and onlookers.

The Klan traveled to Oxford to protest Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones’ decision to ban the Ole Miss band from playing “From Dixie with Love” because students chanted “the South will rise again” during the melody.

Shane Tate, the North Mississippi great titan for the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, said in an e-mail, that the ban is an attack on free speech and Southern Christian heritage.

Once escorted to the chapel by police, the Klan members were met by a wall of boos from more than 200 spectators who had gathered in front of the chapel to witness the protest.
During most of the brief protest, the Klansmen stood silently waving Confederate and Klan flags on the chapel steps, while constantly receiving jeers from hostile onlookers.

“Go to hell, KKK,” and “Take off your mask, cowards!” the onlookers chanted.

The Klansmen attempted to shout back at the onlookers, but their only audible yells were “the South will rise again” and “white power” chanted in unison with Nazi-like salutes.

Police in riot gear escorted the Klansmen down the hill by the chapel and out of sight after less than ten minutes of protesting.

“This seems so unnecessary,” said LSU biology sophomore Nilay Patel. “Nothing was accomplished by them standing out there in those costumes.”

About 200 students with “turn your back on hate” written on the back of their shirts stood with the message facing the Klan while reading the University of Mississippi creed.

“What we saw with the students and the T-shirts are what Ole Miss is everyday,” said Thomas Reardon, Ole Miss dean of students who witnessed the protests. “The few people who were on the porch of the Fulton Chapel, we don’t know who they are, but we abhor what they stand for. And they do not represent the University of Mississippi.”

Artair Rogers, Ole Miss associated student body president, took part in the counter-protest.

“The [Klan’s rally] was not pointless — they have freedom of speech and the right to express their values,” Rogers said. “But we wanted to come out and show this creed is what we stand for.”

Way to handle that students. Next time, some rocks might be in order!

How in the world the government gives the KKK life to exist. I blame us black folks if were gonna protest about something this is who we need to protest against. If we started up the black pathners again watch how fast they would crush that move.

This just shows how country, a$$ backwards and behind they are with the times, apparently they didn’t get the memo because real racists don’t wear sheets anymore, they wear suits, ties, go to college and get multi-million dollar contracts with FOX NEWS and preach their hate to the m***** media of idiots who think just like them and then pretend not to be racist.

This was on LSU’s board (facebook) and happy alumni and current students were given a chance to voice their opinions.

Keeping the lyrics to the song can be protested without the KKK in uniform!
