Ku Klux Klan DOES NOT endorse Barack Obama for President

This is an actual screenshot I took last night from the official Ku Klux Klan homepage (which I am absolutely not linking to), with a bit of graffiti added by yours truly:

Apparently, there’s been some confusion caused by a number of parody Klan Web sites, Onion-style joke headlines, and some (*gasp!*) insufficiently inflammatory comments regarding Barack Obama’s candidacy by ex-Klansman David Duke.  Here’s a portion of the official clarification from the KKK, with errors included and highlighted for my own enjoyment:

Despite some rumors, the Ku Klux Klan is not endorsing Barack Obama for President. In fact, Thomas Robb, national director of The Knights Party says his organization has serious questions it would like Barack to answer. Said Robb, “Is he willing to stand for the protection of white men, women and children who are quickly to be [grammar FAIL] America’s new minority. [<— no question mark] Just over two years ago, the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. stated that white children under the age of five were counted for [I think they mean ”accounted for”] less than 50% of the population. I do not feel it is an exaggeration to be very concerned about America’s future.” Where does Barrack Obama’s allegiance lie? And what about Hillary Clinton or John McCain? Will they voice concern for the sons and daughters of the Republic?

Yes, Barack “with one but sometimes two R’s” Obama, where exactly do you stand on the issue of protecting the white majority’s demographic superiority?  Because I don’t see a single mention of it on your Web site.  And what about Hillary Clinton or John McCain?  I don’t know about you, but I definitely think another debate is in order.

UPDATE: A reader suggests that Barack Obama should denounce and reject the Klan’s non-endorsment.

    Obama is the worst choice.He may be young but he has no experience at all.He will destroy this country and more poeple will be poor under him.Im voting for hillary…I miss the 90’s when things were good and more people had jobs and there was more of an oppurtunity to get rich…which happened under BILL CLINTON!.Im voting for Hillary but if obama gets the nomination then i will cross partys and vote for Mccain.

  • 12 ari2491 // May 27, 2008 at 5:07 am

    Wow! You people are intense. Obviously Obama is going to win, he has the best motivation and he is standing up for something good. I am a female and I can understand that God did not put us here to rule a country, but we were put here to be suppoter’s of our men. Our country went from allowing women to join the work force to allowing us to join the army, but if they allow us to take over the role of the president, our country is not only going to become a joke, it’s going to do a nose-dive straight into the Atlantic!
    I believe in Women’s rights, but I also believe in making good decisions and if people vote just because of race or sex then they should not be allowed to vote at all. People are so racist and sexist in today’s society, why can’t we all just get along?
    And for all you KKK supporters, you guys are a joke, seriously. I believe that God is above every color and He has the same love for everyone. He hates sin, NOT color!

  • 14 who the hell cares // Jun 6, 2008 at 3:37 pm

    maybe the world should be affraid for this intelligent half white half black man. this country is making history and do you think that its time racism stops, cuz american white folk have killed some important and intelligent black men. like Mr. Martin Luther King Jr. very smart, just like
    obama. If this offends anybody sorry, but the half n half guy is right we need a change in how politics are ran and how this country is governed.
    so if it ends the world with a world war three or another civil war then so be it. and this time leave the guns at home and fight like the pussies you really are. its a wonderful thing that white people want to protect what are fore fathers put down in front of us but, do you think its time to grow up? cuz i really did not want to a hater of the black race or any thing like that. i wanted to be a doctor but now i cant be a doctor cuz the man uncle sam has me paying to damn much at the pump and not enough wages to go to school and actually make it so i am stuck detailing cars for a living. oh well what the hell do i know. who the hell cares.

    We as a nation has seen its fair share of bad times and good times. Why do we have to suffer anymore? The ties with our allies are, not getting better in fact they have grown apart. The last thing we need is hatred in the world. I am sure that the people of the kkk have their reasons for what they believe. All i am trying to say, no matter if your, black, white, blue, green, yellow, or purple. We need to come together as one united front, so our children of america and foreign countries can have a better way of living.
    Time to take the sheets of hate off and save it for,
    something that will hurt our country. Did you know that, our government of today is hurting our heritage and our people as a country. maybe thats something to be angry about. Maybe we need to hate against the number one reason for, job loss, and homelessness. Did you know my fellow brothers that, our white folk of america is homeless, hopeless, struggle in poverty. Its not the jews fault, its not the black folks fault, its not even your fault. Do you know that our government is not for us. they dont like us. They like money, power. one of the reasons why we go to war in the first place. I understand your convictions, maybe try doing it together peacefully. Change this country because, its not the 1900s or the 1800s anymore, give us some hope, that my children can wake up to a good job, good gas prices and good educations. I would not ask such a ? to you, but we need you as the kkk,
    to help all the people of united states of america.
    To form a nation that can hold together, and stick together, While you are busy hating, the very people that you are fighting against, are actually fighting for you, as well as for their families. So the civil war, it was only one war. And in fact, it was a white man, in our government who, made it that all slaves were free. I know that their is more to it then just that.
    We the people of the United States of America,also want to be free, free from the fear of hate, and what hate brings to our lives, and what it brings to our childrens lives. This is the land of the free, and the home of the brave. Not the home of hate, if you hate it so bad why are you here?

  • 17 uh huh... // Jun 10, 2008 at 5:43 pm

    I believe our future president should not be judged of their age, sex, or race.

    Since America believes in freedom and equality, we as citizens should listen to every candidate, and vote for the candidate who rubs us the right way.

    And for the commenter with all caps: Your reasons of each candidate is rather shallow. You are one of those people who vote for appearance and if the candidate is an “EMOTIONALMESS” or if the candidate is going to die. Obama could die, since there are crazy whiteheads who believe in “white supremacy.” Instead of judging the negatives of the other candidates, why don’t you actually read what they have to say and what they are going to do for America?

    “PEOPLE LETS BE SMART”
    Yeah, lets. Instead of believing that McCain is going to die in office, or if Clinton is going to have an emotional breakdown, let’s be smart people and listen to each of the candidate’s speeches before we decide who should be our next President.

  • 20 To the kkk // Jun 14, 2008 at 9:24 am

    i am not in judgement of who is president for our country. like i said who the hell cares we need someone to over see all the issues with this country. i do love america, but their are far too many haters out their ruining our heritage, the kkk was formed because someone did not like the rights that the black community would have freedom in this country, freedom to own a piece of the pie. so some group of people put their mothers sheets over their heads and decided to act like they were some scary revalation, well that did not make america look very good, who really wants to put their mothers sheets on their heads,
    grow up, face the fact that we all have to live here,
    because we all want the same thing in life thats to be free, and be able to not live in fear,martin luther king jr. said the only thing to fear is fear it self. well i wonder why. maybe its time we the people of the united states kicks the klan out of america cuz they hate everybody exception is their mothers for giving them the sheets of insanity. i dont care what you people say all these different opinions and all this talk and no show, no action. so really who gives a crap who is president, who gives a shit, who is the runner up for first lady may it be bill clinton who gives a crap. REALLY this country is already in turmoil.
    now get over it!!!!!!!!!!
