Maybe there is some hope for respect amongst the races after all....

Whether or not any significant good or change will come out of this meeting remains to be seen, but this is actually a very good development.  Dr. King himself would approve of these dialogues.

[Joe Republic]

Settling old differences so that they can work together to deal with another problem: those stinking Mexicans.

Does the Casper NAACP basically consist of every black person who lives in Wyoming?

To my estimate 8,646 people in Wyoming are black. That includes 2012 estimated population. In comparison there are 54,759 Hispanic people in Wyoming, and 487,645 White non-Hispanic people.

Pretty cool.

[Zioneer]

That's unfair for the NAACP; the KKK have an almost home court sort of advantage.

[Eraserhead]

Tupac would approve of this.

This is a goldmine for great jokes

In other news, this is the most interesting thing to happen in Wyoming since Dick Cheney was the head of Halliburton.

An outsider question: does the Klan still hold any strength in the US or at the state-level? Does state like Louisiana or Alabama still hold bastions of the Klan?

There are Klan enclaves and not only or even primarily in the South.  However, the Klan holds very little political influence if any.

P OBad choice. It lowers the NAACP to the level of the KKK.

And if you believe there's any real 'parity' between an organization founded to slynching vs. one that was the main propegator of mob violence is historically ignorant and, frankly, a moron.

There's plenty of badness to both of them. So far the Klan has a worse history. However, what the NAACP started out as and what they've become today are two very different things. I bet no one knows the NAACP was founded by a Republican.

Regarding my earlier statement, I rest my case.

This reminds me of this poster, which I have to admit is clever.

Something tells me Oldiesfreak probably does.

Its a nice story to read, even if it doesn't accomplish much. I'm surprised the Klan agreed to such a meeting however.

Does this mean the GOP is now officially to the right of the KKK?

Are you race baiting?
