I'm wondering how interesting this could be. Who could be named? Teachers, politicians, clergy, etc?

Anonymous Begins Revealing Information About Alleged Ku Klux Klan Members
The group claims to have identified 1,000 KKK members and will release their names on Nov. 5.

    I think it could be VERY interesting.... I just wish it was all of them, and not only 1000.

    I hope they truly DO thorough due diligence. Would be pretty messed up to put someone's personal information out there through a fuck-up or laziness or what have you.

    That said...everybody's got something to hide 'cept for me and my :monkey:

    I thinK Anonymous would be pretty careful about making sure the list is accurate.... I really just say that because I have what I guess has to be called unfounded faith in Anonymous, lol. I support their work generally, and am really glad there are people like them out there. I do try to pay attention to what they're doing and everything, but I'm probably biased towards their cause. If they are fucking up or being lazy, I've been blind to it. Hopefully they haven't been, and I haven't seen anything to say that they have.

    "Last week, a group identifying itself as the online hacktivist collective "Anonymous" vowed to release contact information identifying 1,000 members of the Ku Klux Klan..."

    "hacktivist"- what a great term! And good to know this is happening.

    Though I'm not totally surprised or naive about the point, I'm a bit astonished that there is still so much racism in our society, enough to still keep a group like KKK going. In this day and age of fast spreading information, shared cultures and a relatively small world, this kind of nonsense is overdue to go away.

    I hope the whole list they have is published.
    The weird thing is that soon the people who think that rights will be trampled from doing this will protest.

    their sources better be bulletproof. would be really unfair to out someone who was not actually in the klan.

    The great thing about Anonymous is that they don't give a flying fuck if people don't like what they're doing. People can protest all they want, it won't make any difference to Anonymous. ;)

    I dunno Brian...I wish racism would cease to exist as well, but I am well aware that it is alive and kicking. I really dislike going to Montana every year, in-laws are there so I'm obligated. The town I visit is not more mainstream like Missoula or Whitefish, but there are towns there that are so closed off to the outside world it's like stepping back in time, they literally resist change. Lots of the people there make it pretty obvious that 'colored folk' are not welcome...and underlying racism exists as well. Not as obvious, and most of the time you wouldn't really notice it, but sadly it does.

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Yeah, I totally get it, RKCNDY. We went through some very small towns on the way to Missoula in 2012 that definitely had that white cowboy-up feel (no offense to you country fans). Even parts of so-called "liberal California" are rife with racism. The KKK have members in Napa where many famous California wines are produced. About 10 years ago I drove into Susanville in northern CA and the first thing I saw was a racist billboard. I don't remember what it said but it was creepy.

    I will be the first to admit that racism is in our country as well.
    Sporadic at best but gutful in places.
    The USA has a very, very deep divide between white and black.
    Up here it's between whites and natives.
    But up here it seems less of a battle and more of a disagreement.

    We don't have that problem down here because we wiped most of them out first and then appropriated what was left of their culture.

    A woman I know was invited to a guest dinner in honor of the evenings speaker, Native American writer Sherman Alexie. Knowing his work well and knowing how he cleverly pokes fun of whites who appropriate Native culture she asked him who he thought did that the most often. He looked right at her and said, "Middle class liberal white baby boomer women". She laughed because he had just described her to a tee and she got it.

    words like "alleged" "anonymous" and "Hacker" give this story a bit of a bullshit base to start with, maybe before we start believing some idiots listing names of people they say are KKK we should be looking into the hackers first, maybe Kat or myself are KKK members ?.....or maybe EV is the grand wizard. hay ! lets start listing names numbers and address's of folks we think are black panthers members....lets look on the interweb for pictures of Elvis alive today living in small town America and hanging out with Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin......I seen em' !!!!!

    that's it America let's keep stoking the fire of racism because we can't live without it.

    ....yes it dose(busted) these times of political correctness and race baiting are too common in the news and social media and all it does is keep the fire of racism burning, if I was a racist I'd be loving this shit " yeah keep burning !" but I am not and all this crap does is create more separation between good people.

    That's what is great about anonymous they will lay out all the evidence out to be judged.

    I know it's a little bit more worrisome about the names on your side.

    Also on your side you say you want transparency but when exposed get very angry. It's all lip service. Your side wants the secrets.

    Jim Gray, an openly gay democrat mayor, is on this list.

    I'll have to admit, that does fit the stereotype of the typical KKK member. Racist gay democrats are exactly what comes to mind when I hear "KKK"

    Anonymous has not released the list yet....a different group put out a list yesterday that appears to have a lot of people on it that are in no way related to the KKK. One was a mayor that is married to a black man.
