Love, Hate, and Cancer ( Kevin Alfred Strom )

Don't take things so personally Tom, its an analogy. Do you think KKK played by the rules?

Phil H

Sometimes they got to make the rules.

Did Ma Barker play by the rules?

Explain why you would take patently illegal acts to use as an example to denigrate this country?

Come on Phil, you're an intelligent person and your acting like Henry.

When was that?

Way back in history. Like from the end of the Civil War up to the 1940s and 50s. They had enough influence politically to ensure that most of their terrorizing and murder was simply ignored by being left 'unsolved.'

There was a time in certain states when people in local governments and law enforcement were sometimes members of the Klan, associated organizations or were simply in agreement with those people. This was going on in our lifetimes, Tom. It wasn't so long ago.

He is.

I'll suggest that it's 'being in denial'.

I just wonder why you admit that all of it was illegal but that criminal acts prevented any prosecution and then claim that 'they made the rules.' You know, Bonny and Clyde made rules too.

Interesting choice of words: 'denigrate' the USA? Reveals the subtext beneath the commentary above.>

I suggest you educate yourself. Denigrate is from the latin for 'to blacken' meaning to sully, to soil or to tarnish.
