kkk to go to tonight's presidential debate and hand out pamphlets

as reported from Time.com, the KKK plans to "peacefully" attend and not protest tonight's presidential debate. They will be there to demonstrate, but in the racist-casual garb rather than those drab white hoods and robes. also, in place of cross burning, they'd like to hand out informational pamphlets on how to join the KKK. the KKK's "emperor" has even said that "Not all black people are particularly bad people," the emperor adds. But leadership, he asserts, "is just not in their character...it's just not in their ability."

what all this says about the KKK:

• the KKK has started thinking of african americans really as more of hapless puppy/kittens than the equivalent of a plague on American society. upgrade or downgrade for the KKK? i suppose it's a significant change from where they've been, but it's more puzzling than it is comforting.
  
• the KKK thinks of themselves as really more of a social "club" than a hate organization. upgrade or downgrade? does this mean instead of hate rallies, now they will have SuperBowl and block parties where they "socialize" with their fellow white supremesists?
• the KKK not wearing their white hoods and robes is like a red smurf. if you're going to stand for the legacy of the unacceptance of minorities as human, part of that legacy is wearing ensemble. if you're going to talk the talk, walk the walk, people.

*i do not support any organization that functions and acts upon the notion that any race is superior to another, and it is my belief that this is an attempt at getting press. the KKK is the media w#ore that Lindsay Lohan once was. definitely downgrade.
