The Ku Klux Klan comes to town. How to respond? To ignore their racist rants seems somehow wrong. But staging a protest only plays into the hands of these knuckleheads. Heavily caffeinated Klansters & protesters are arrested, & the media shows up to chronicle the whole ugly mess.
Finally a fitting -- and admittedly absurd -- response to a Nazi/Klan white supremacist rally at Knoxville, South Carolina. The ARA (Anti-Racist Action) 'clown posse' showed up at the rally, pretending to support these idiots --- and the KKK rally was transformed into a nice example of performance art comedy, while the Klansters became even more unhinged than usual:
Alex Linder the lead organizer of the rally kicked off events by rushing the clowns in a fit of rage, and was promptly arrested by 4 Knoxville police officers who dropped him to the ground when he resisted and dragged him off past the red shiny shoes of the clowns.
“White Power!” the Nazi’s shouted, “White Flour?” the clowns yelled back running in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which spelt “White Flour”.
“White Power!” the Nazi’s angrily shouted once more, “White flowers?” the clowns cheers and threw white flowers in the air and danced about merrily.
“White Power!” the Nazi’s tried once again in a doomed and somewhat funny attempt to clarify their message, “ohhhhhh!” the clowns yelled “Tight Shower!” and held a solar shower in the air and all tried to crowd under to get clean as per the Klan’s directions.
The clown women thought they finally understood what the Klan was trying to say. “Ohhhhh…” the women clowns said. “Now we understand…”, “WIFE POWER!” they lifted the letters up in the air, grabbed the nearest male clowns and lifted them in their arms and ran about merrily chanting “WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER!”
Police, rather than hauling some protesters to jail as usual, happily escorted them away.
The cops stopped the clowns and counter protesters. “Hey, do you want an escort” an African-American police officer on a motorcycle asked. “Yes” a clown replied. “We are walking to Market Square in the center of town to celebrate.”
The police officers got in front of the now anti racist parade and blocked the entire road for the march through the heart of Knoxville.
