i ran a little afoul of a grant county judge last summer. according to my attorney there was some joking around about my appearance and my hometown of martinsville in the courthouse. the attorney said thats all great but the last black lynching in indiana took place on the marion indiana courthouse lawn. that was rather hypocritical...

I believe that a white person from Mville that was walking around on Indys East side at night would be in a lot more danger, then a Black person from Indy walking around Mville at night.
But if we talked about that we would be racist wouldn't we?

Yes, Rod, that would be racist. Do we always have to denigrate other people to make ourselves look better? Why don't we just stick to the issue: the article published in the Reporter on January 1 was both sympathetic to the Klan and insulting to Martinsville. Why do you have to drag in demeaning remarks about people who had nothing to do with the article?

Because i am far more concerned with racism against whites then i am about the clan.

First of all to set the record straight the group was not the White Knights but the UNSK. Secondly we did not approach the reporter the reporter contacted us first. For the editor to try and cover the papers backside with lies is ridiculous and I will be contacting the reporter directly about this.
