The Ku Klux Klan has a special message for Ladson residents: “Save our land, join the Klan.”
That’s what some people living in the Tall Pines community found on a flier in their mailboxes over the weekend.
The fliers are from the True Invisible Empire Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and has residents worried about what else might be going on around them.
“I don’t know, it scares me,” lifelong resident Stacey Guest said. “Because if they are doing this, what else are they doing? What else is going to be happening out here? We gonna have crosses burning in the front yards, really? I don’t think so.”
ABC News 4 contacted the Imperial Wizard of the Klan, who, of course, defended his group calling it “a benevolent organization that helps people in need and that the ultimate goal is to make sure that the white race is treated fairly.”
Dot Scott, leader of the Charleston County NAACP doesn’t think the Klan is that big of a threat.
“I believe these are folks that are in the minority,” she said.
Scott said she is hoping good things will come out of this and maybe the community will talk. Ultimately, she wants someone to be exposed.
But, for what? We don’t know, but there is one report that could get the Klan exposed.
The Berkeley County Sheriff’s office responded to a vandalism complaint in the neighborhood Sunday after a mailbox was damaged. Â The flier and a rock were found nearby, but it’s not clear if the two are related.
Seems like a stretch, but, hey, we all need someone to blame.
As of yet, there is no word as to whether anyone replied to the flier and joined the Klan as a result.
