WHAT YEAR IS THIS?

Have I suddenly woken up in 1947? Are these people even aware of how stupid they are?

Crosses burned in Durham

Three large crosses were burned in separate incidents across Durham Wednesday night, the first time in recent memory that one of the South's most notorious symbols of racial hatred has been seen in the city.

Yellow fliers with Ku Klux Klan sayings were found at one of the cross burnings.

The Durham Police Department is investigating the burnings. After the third one was reported, the department ordered that any suspicious cargo truck or large pickup truck be stopped.

"At this day and time, I thought we'd be beyond that," said Mayor Bill Bell. "People do things for different reasons, and I don't have the slightest idea why anyone would do this."

It is always comforting to know that hate and intolerance will never die.

Isn't Bush responsible for this?
Perhaps him appointing Codni Rice (Female/Black) was the perfect coverup to support this behavior. He's blamed for everything else.
For sure these must have all been republicans!
Hummm. Wasn't Dingy Reed in the KKK?

Oh for fuck's sake, did I SAY Bush had anything to do with this? I DO post information about non-political stuff sometimes, you know.

Consider this an eye roll and a swat to the back of your head.
