#123: This One Speaks For Itself…

A North Georgia chapter of the Ku Klux Klan has applied to “adopt” a stretch of highway in Union County, Georgia,

Seriously.

I know I’m not the only one losing his mind over this… Seriously, my frontal lobe is under siege at the moment. The KKK is the closest thing this world has to a super-villain team and they want to be recognized as a run-of-the mill community group?

Just look at this shot and tell me you don’t think of a superhero movie or comic:

This group just seems.. unreal to me. Every facet of their existence burns through me, right to the core.

If the Georgia Department of Transportation accepts the application (I’ll kill them all!) AND the KKK would be responsible for cleaning litter on a part of Georgia State Route 515 in the Appalachian Mountains near the North Carolina border.

“All we want to do is adopt a highway,” said April Chambers, the chapter’s secretary. “We’re not doing it for publicity. We’re doing it to keep the mountains beautiful. People throwing trash out on the side of the road … that ain’t right.”

Incidentally, was this chick hard up for work or what?

At any rate, here’s another gem from Miss Chambers: “We’re not racists. We just want to be with white people. If that’s a crime, then I don’t know. It’s all right to be black and Latino and proud, but you can’t be white and proud. I don’t understand it.”

I share your confusion, you poor, deluded, woman…. But for completely different reasons, of course.
