The Klan Applies To Adopt A Highway In North Georgia

The Ku Klux Klan has applied to adopt a stretch of highway in northern Georgia, setting off a battle between a state representative condemning the application and the group’s ardent but anonymous leaders.

“The state of Georgia is absolutely shameful in even considering an application from the KKK,” Democratic Georgia State Representative Tyrone Brooks told ABCNews.com. “If the state will accept an application from the KKK, we may as well get ready to accept applications from the Nazi party, Taliban, Al Qaeda and Aryan Nation.”

The group, the International Keystone Knights of the KKK, denied Brooks’ comments.

“What we’re trying to do is something positive and this Tyrone Brooks is trying to raise a stink about it. We just want to do something good for the community,” a representative of the KKK group, who would only agree to be identified as the “Imperial Wizard,” told ABCNews.com.

The man was adamant that his real name not be used, in order to protect his job and family, he said.

“[Brooks is] coming out and calling the Klan a terrorist organization. Prove it in black and white that the U.S. government has labeled us a terrorist organization,” the Imperial Wizard said. “Prove it. He needs to prove it. I challenge him.”

When attempting to defend the Klan’s history of violence and hate the “Grand Wizard” says:

“I’m a separatist. I’m not a racist. I believe in the separation of the races. It was originally printed in the Bible.”
