Really it’s the gift to bigots everywhere that keeps giving. Seriously, someone needs to tell race-aroused white folks that telling us your racism isn’t racist don’t fly. As black folks, we’re pretty sure we know what racism looks like – we’ve each had a lifetime of interesting experiences helpful in figuring that out. If you feel the need to pair a noose with your white-hooded snowman, we’re going to find that not only racist but given the history of lynching in the United States, kinda threatenin’-like. Wild guess — is this guy a Tea Party supporter by chance? Make no mistake, since Obama was elected president, there’s been a surge of white hate group membership, including the KKK. It’s easy to chuckle at a KKK dressed snowman, but this is a symptom of a larger, darker and dangerous trend.

This Week in Blackness gives the low down and lays the smack down on this ig’nance (vid from TheYoungTurks):

Maybe it’s just that time of year. Maybe people see snow on the ground and they think “You know what’s awesome? Whiteness. Know the best way to express that? Hatred.” I can’t explain it but this comes from KXLY.COM:

HAYDEN, Idaho — While most see the holiday season as one of joy and merrymaking, at least one Hayden, Idaho, resident is taking the opportunity to spread a little hate courtesy of a noose-carrying, KKK hood-wearing snowman on their front lawn.

Several area parents noticed the offensive snow sculpture, located in front of a home in the 9000 block of Hillview Drive, while taking their kids to school Wednesday morning.

The sculpture depicts a snowman with a pointed hat and an outstretched right hand with a noose in it. Residents in the neighborhood say the homeowners also have an Aryan Nations flag on display.

Well of course he has an Aryan Nations flag on display. The douchebag made a KKK Snowman! That’s not even like passive hate. It’s not like he was walking down the street, saw a Negro and was like “Oh, I hate that guy, not for the content of his character but simply for the color of his skin” and then kept it moving– He actively went into the cold, rolled large sphere shaped mounds of snow  and then created a Klan hood and added a noose–just in case you weren’t exactly sure what he was going for. He didn’t want you to think it was like a weird mishapped pope hat.  No, no, no he used accessories. This was directly out of the Martha Stewart Holiday Guide to hatred.  And if you watch the video below of the news cast interviewing him, this asshole actually tries to claim its NOT racist. He’s explaining–with attitude–why his Snowy Klu Klux Klansman isn’t racist all while the confederate flag waves gently in the the background. And his explanation is simply…”It’s not racist.”

I’m tired and light headed. Too much blatant bigotry hits my system like a 12 pack of donuts hits Rick Ross. I think I have Racism Diabetes.
