12 Klansmen rally briefly before LSU-Ole Miss game

OXFORD, Miss. -About a dozen hooded Ku Klux Klan members rallied briefly at the University of Mississippi before Saturday's football game with No. 10 LSU.
The members of the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan spent about 10 minutes waving flags, displaying Nazi-style salutes and occasionally gesturing at a group of about 250 hecklers that included young children. They were protesting the school's decision to drop a pep song that included "Dixie."
Some fans had been ending the song by chanting, "The South will rise again." Chancellor Dan Jones asked the band to stop playing the song after fans ignored a request to drop the chant.
The Klan said it was protesting over lost Southern symbolism at Ole Miss, which has been rocked by racial strife before.

Kevin Jackson's "The BIG Black Lie" should be good reading by black person who chose not to assume the "black" role society has prepared for him.
Oh – by the way, for you uber PC types, look at the state flags of:
Alabama - contains the St. Andrews cross of the Confederate battle flag – not a coincidence
Arkansas - the Confederate battle flag is reflected (reversed applied). Some creative folding and you have the rebel flag – not a coincidence.
Florida – ditto from Alabama with the state shield superimpossed as camouflage – not a coincidence.
Georga – Almost an exact replica of the original Confederate “Stars and Bars” depicting the 13 stars that eventually appeared on the battle flag with the state shield superimpossed as camoauflage. Don’t let anyone tell you those are for the 13 original colonies – not a coincidence.
Mississippi – A blatant combination of the Confederate battle flag in the union with modified “Bars” – not a coincidence.
Might need to go for bigger fish
