Klan in Memphis

The klan is coming to Memphis tomorrow to protest the renaming of three city parks. Jefferson Davis, Confederate an Nathan Bedford Forrest Park. The city council decided it was time to erase the history of the civil war and rename them. They so far have assigned temporary names to the parks, waiting I assume to figure out what man,women or child they can name them after.
Anyway, back to the klan. In 1998 the klan was in memphis and rioting broke out with numerous arrest being made. No klan members were arrested.
To make a long story short, the police will out in full force tomorrow.

PS. Recreational refreshments will be available on all street corners.

Have you ever noticed how many Army bases we have named after CSA generals?

I'm never spending another dime in a state that would allow such silliness!
I'll never hunt, shop or buy eyeglasses in Tennessee again!
I live in Olive branch Ms. Just a few miles from Memphis

Wasn't aware that another GB member lived in Olive Branch.

I am southern,and I think the "Klan" has outlived its need...The people of Memphis have forgotten their heritage...to bad the parks have been renamed.Memphis will turn into another Detroit,because the people have no heritage...[:(]
What you say has already come to past. Memphis is a cesspool.
And I ain't talking about Richard Petty.
Driving RT78 from the yard to the interstate, I-240 was always fun at night. Lock the doors and keep moving!
It made the front page of the paper the next day with a picture of white and black (Klan and non-Klan) people standing side by side, shoulder to shoulder, overturning and kicking a police car.
The irony seemed to have been lost on everyone except me.

You should try it now. Traffic so congested takes you about two hour to get through. Have gun ready at all times.
One slow afternoon in our Southern office, we decided to convince the new guy (from Minnesota) that the South actually WON the Civil War. We pointed to Ft. Lee VA, Ft. Jackson SC, Ft. Stuart GA, and the lack of a Ft. Grant, etc.
He believed us!

He was well ahead of his time, for certain. [;)]
