Cop FIRED for having racist memorabilia in his HOME!!!!

[Darth Omar]

Depends where it was posted. According to the story the guy had it next to info about the police department he worked for. Pretty much a big red flag. Maybe KKK memorabilia doesn’t bother you. That’s your right. It’s clearly bothersome to many

It is bothersome, but so is Che Guevara memorabilia lol.

Would a lefty cop get the same treatment if he had Che posters up? Or Marx? How many lives has socialism claimed? Why is Marx any better than the Klan?

Who gets to decide these things?

Within the U.S. the KKK is pure evil. Is was a never a group that started off with a good mission and morphed into something bad. It existed from inception to terrorize black people. And I do get the concern one would have if a government employee who is suppose to protect and serve was a KKK supporter.

Politically I don’t get it either. The KKK and Democratic Party are linked together in history yet Republicans are defending this guy. We talk about wanting to increase the black vote for republicans yet we support an officer with KKK memorabilia in his home. This is why we don’t get black voters. It doesn’t matter what the unemployment rate is.

Since tone can be difficult to deduce sometimes I’m not yelling this or screaming at you (in case it came across that way). I’m just stating it matter of factly.

Technically it started as a social club for confederate veterans.

Then it morphed, and it's main mission became abolishing the Republican party and influence in the South by terrorizing and murdering republican leaders and their voters.

Thanks. I guess I had heard that about it's original founding. I'd bet anyone still celebrating the KKK today isn't celebrating it for its original intent.

stop being a cunt.....I have nothing to do with the KKK......I posted the picture of the framed document on the wall?........is it next to something?......

Pretty much.

You’re arguably the most polite poster here, though granted, that’s not saying much lol.

We need to appeal to black voters—as voters. Otherwise, you’re playing the progressive’s game.

yet Republicans are defending this guy.

you may be an asshole in the tenth degree but that doesn't change the fact you have a constitutional right to be an asshole in the tenth degree.......crap we even allow people to be demmycrats.....and that's evil to the eleventh degree........its a free fucking country.......

[RB 60]

Someone had a bunch of confederate flags and a KKK application framed on their wall and people somehow aren’t going to notice?

Clearly that wasn’t the case

Would it change your mind about buying the house?

[RB 60]

Yes, but if it is labeled as Democrat memorabilia, it is exempted by democrats from being considered racist.

Or they'll just deny it.

It did the guy who took the photo of the application. In my career when folks talk about how to create value with real estate I’ve never heard anyone say KKK (or Nazi) memorabilia would increase the price.

I don’t know if it’s a generational thing or where in the country we live but it would never occur to me that someone would have that on their wall

It would change my mind about buying the house. Not interested in putting money into this racist's pocket. There are plenty of other houses out there.

Freedom of speech ≠ freedom from consequences

and what consequences would you say a person is NOT protected from by the constitution when he is fired from a government job for merely owning something which is not illegal and keeping it in his own home?.....

[PostmodernProphet]

being a member of the KKK is horrible........but so is being a member of the Demmycrat party....can a policeman be fired for having his voter registration framed and put on his wall, if it says he's a demmycrat?......

I didn't say it would increase (or decrease) the price, I asked if it would change your mind about buying it.

Myself, I'd overlook it as historical memorabilia. Thousands of people have historical items, suddenly it offends people.
