ORIGINAL: mnottertail So the Sons of Norway is a racist organization? As would be the Maids of Athena, the society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, and so on. Those Sons Of Italy need to show some papers,now please. Hey,here`s an innocuous,mainstream sounding name for ya`ll .....Council Of Conservative Citizens...... Check out there website. http://cofcc.org/ There are a lot of elected republicans who are either members of or partial to this overt racist organization. Like GOP leader Trent Lott. "* Lott gave the keynote address at a 1992 national executive board meeting of the Council of Conservative Citizens, a successor organization to the old white Citizens Councils, segregation-era groups the Southern Poverty Law Center refers to as "the white-collar Ku Klux Klan. The C of CC may have changed its name, but it remains a passionate "white racialist" group that condemns intermarriage, integration and immigration by non-whites. As Boston Globe columnist Derrick Z. Jackson, who has researched the group, argues, "There is no question of the resegregationist agenda of the Council of Conservative Citizens when four of the seven links listed on the home page for former Klan leader David Duke link back to the Council of Conservative Citizens." Other links, Jackson has noted, "deny the Holocaust and sell T-shirts with swastikas and Nazi stormtrooper symbols." But when Lott appeared at that Greenwood, Mississippi, meeting of C of CC leaders, he did not address his disdain for racism or anti-Semitism. Rather, he discussed his concerns about "the dark forces" that he said were overwhelming America and said, "We need more meetings like this across the nation... The people in this room stand for the right principles and the right philosophy. Let's take it in the right direction and our children will be the beneficiaries." http://www.thenation.com/blog/trent-lotts-uptown-klan There are a lot of links and cross pollination between the tea-baggers and the C of CC.
