This KKK member just joined the NAACP

 Wyoming recently hosted what's believed to be the first-ever formal meeting between the venerable black civil rights group the NAACP and the infamous white supremacist organization the Ku Klux Klan. That makes the encounter historic — though it certainly doesn't signal a burying of the hatchet.

The secret Aug. 31 meeting in Casper, Wyo., included local NAACP leader Jimmy Simmons and John Abarr, a KKK organizer from Great Falls, Mont. The meeting wasn't sanctioned by the regional or national NAACP, but it was instigated by Simmons, who wanted to talk about Klan literature being distributed in Gillette, Wyo., about 130 miles north of Casper, and reported beatings of black men out in public with white women.

The United Klans of America did sanction the meeting, imperial wizard Bradley Jenkins told theAssociated Press from Birmingham, Ala. Abarr said that Jenkins was so enthusiastic about the meeting that he overruled the UKA's Imperial Council so it could take place.

At the end of the meeting, Simmons gamely asked Abarr if he wanted to join the NAACP. "I wouldn't have a problem with joining the NAACP," he said quickly, plunking down a $50 bill — the $30 registration fee and a $20 donation — and filling out the application Simmons handed him. Abarr said he's already a member of the ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Center. But he didn't return the courtesy to Simmons or his NAACP colleagues. "You have to be white to join the Klan," he told the AP.

not thinking some kinda of trickery a foot but curious as to his agenda, and retribution by his klan members even though they ok'd makes it even more curious.

Now, along with recruiting white people into the Klan, Abarr is working toward a degree in business administration. Recruiting has really picked up since President Obama was elected, he told the NAACP group, with most of the new Klansmen angry, violent guys in their 20s and 30s. "What I like to do is recruit really radical kids, then calm them down after they join," he says.

After talking with the NAACP, he added, he may be excommunicated from his local chapter of the Klan. "People are going to call me names for coming down here," Abarr told the NAACP. "You know, I might not even have a group when I get back." It's hard to imagine Jimmy Simmons shedding any tears over that.

i don't know does the klan still kill those who collaborate? just asking it is like oil and water in a neo compound.
