text: It's far MORE ghastly to have an 'uptown klansman' leave his sheet at home in the closet so he can smile benignly while awaiting appointment to head the US Dept. of Justice.
  
  I've lived in Missouri, Mississippi and North Carolina.  My ex-wife and her siblings grew up in Jim Crow Arkansas.  Her late mother (rah'matullahi alayha--may God have Mercy on her) told me how it was during WWII, living in a town in which she and her family had FAR less rights than Nazi POW's quartered in camps outside that town.
  
  In my own lifetime I've seen first-hand how easy it is for guys like this to utterly destroy peoples' lives and get clean away with it--because they had names like "Beauregard" and were descended from pampered, well-connected people who used to "own" the ancestors of those they still walk on today.  Lannatullahi alayhim alf-mura'at: God-d@mn them a thousands times.
