For fuckâs sake. Thatâs really all I can say about this.
Clearly this was a dumb idea but then doubling down on it with â"four good olâ boys sitting around drinking and things got out of control.â How many times was this the excuse heard around there to justify something horrible?
Worst apology ever.
Seriously, Iâm surprised as a political figure, she didnât try to spin it whatsoever. She essentially defended an entire hate movement.
âThey basically had a stick on fire,â she said. âThey were holding it up next to the cross.â
So this is just the racist version of the âIâm not touching youâ game that kids do to annoy their siblings.
You know a simple âIn retrospect this was obviously as really dumb idea made dumber by adding booze to the mix. We were not thinking it through and are very sorryâ would be fine
But nooooo gotta double down on it with a non-apology.
Right. Itâs like taking âthatâs not mineâ to new heights.
Stupid fucking dickheads.
Wait till we get more âreportsâ that these fellas âarenât racistâ.
Oblig.
I canât remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; youâre saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that itâs not literally illegal to express.
Almost worseâŚ
When the fecal storm really gets going, come out with the apology that should have been delivered in the first placeâŚ
They had a couple of white robes just laying around for special occasions, I guess.

Just the good olâ boys
Never meaninâ no harm
Beats all youâve ever saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born
Straighteninâ the curves
Flatninâ the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em
But the law never will
Makinâ their way
The only way they know how
Thatâs just a little bit more
Than the law will allow
Just good olâ boys
Wouldnât change if they could
Fightinâ the system
Like a true modern day Robin Hood
Disturbing that you were able to compile so many links. More disturbing, Iâm sure thereâs plenty more what all this came from.
One of the weird things about the KKK is that it is a religious extremist terrorist organization that has a known history of killing Americans, but it is quite public for all that. I shied away from MOST of the overtly violent images, and peppered a few links to articles in there, too, just to keep folks clickinâ. 
I grew up in the South, and the phrase âgood oleâ boysâ has many connotations, none of them being in good taste or common sense but most definitely having a consensus of agreement that has to do with a particular race.
EDIT:
On Inside Edition, no less. Fucking Christ up a dogâs ass.
Racists (the active ones, not the latent one) are not seeing a reason to hide their true feelings anymore, because the more covert racism being spewed by the mainstream republican party. Racism is now just another viewpoint in polite society, not an ideology to be shunned.
Oklahoma is NOT OK!
Between this and the continued instances of blackface and nazi costumes, itâs clear that thereâs something inherently wrong with your culture if you bumble into such blatantly offensive activities merely by combining alcohol, friends, and boredom.
On the upside, this makes the terrible karaoke that my brother performs when heâs drunk seem like much less of a bad decision.
âSit around the bonfire and drink a couple of beers and thought well my buddy his last name is White and the subject got brung (sic) upâ
I get a headache just reading that. Ladies and gentlemen, our education dollars at work!
All this story is missing is a âand then my buddy said, âhere, hold my beerâŚââ
