The national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan appeared on CNN last night and was interviewed by a black, gay anchor named Don Lemon. During the interview, he told Lemon that it’s not racist for white people to love their race.
The subject of a discussion was a billboard in Arkansas which features the following statement: “It’s not racist to [heart] your people.” The ad, which also features a stock photo of a white girl holding a puppy, promotes WhitePrideRadio.com.
“If anybody sees racism in that billboard, then they themselves are racist,” said Thomas Robb, the national director of the KKK. “That billboard just asks white people to do the same thing that every other racial, ethnic people in this country is allowed and encouraged to do.”
“The people who find racism there are really exposing their own racism,” he later said. “What they really are is anti-white.”
Lemon asked Robb why he felt the need to run the ad.
“Because white people have a right to love their heritage, love their culture, and to love their people,” Robb replied. “And the white people are tired of hearing of other races who are encouraged to do that…”
When confronted about the history of the KKK and lynchings, Robb replied that isn’t interested in white happened decades ago. He’s more interested in what’s happening today. “I’m concerned about the genocide against white people,” he said.
When asked if he would distance himself from the KKK’s “previous activity,” Robb replied: “I would distance myself from any type of hate. I don’t believe in hate. I think black people should love their heritage. I think people that are Asian should love their people. I think people that are Mexican should love their culture…”
Robb said his problem is with the “hypocrisy” that encourages other races to love their race but denies that right to white people.
