The KKK joins the anti-trans controversy

This has got to be about something other than school bathrooms.

The KKK has now taken up the trans bathroom controversy and Grand Dragon Robert Jones of the Loyal White Knights KKK chapter in North Carolina told a Huffington Post reporter that:
“I think that it’s sick that the federal government is trying to push us on a state level. . . .  I have a feeling a lot of violence is going to come out of this.”

Jones also took responsibility for hateful fliers that were distributed in an Alabama town urging them to stand up against the transgender community.

Undoubtedly, this is tapping into the racial hatred that has been at the base of the KKK for more than a century.   It's flaring up here, worse than ever, in the waning years of the Obama presidency.   It's obviously more than racial hatred, but I submit that it's at the core.   The KKK joining in adds weight to that.
