Ignoring KKK Is The Right Thing To Do In Charlottesville

The KKK is coming to Charlottesville, Virginia.

The white-hooded, white supremacist group is planning a rally in Charlottesville on July 8 and emotions, as expected, are running high.

Some whites in Charlottesville are still fuming after the city approved the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee in 2012, which sparked an ongoing debate about eliminating Confederate monuments.

The KKK plans to spread its message of hate in Charlottesville on Saturday and some African-American activists say the best way to deal with the KKK is to ignore the rally. Some Black community leaders are asking Black residents to avoid the KKK event altogether because they are concerned about the potential for violence.


I agree
