KKK marching against Somalis in ...Maine?

KKK and pro-Somali protests in Maine.

A Wisconsin based KKK group paraded in a Maine town, where Somalis have immigrated for the past two years.

The mayor had asked the group to stop recruiting their countrymen, claiming their use of public assistance and public housing were depleting the town's resources.

Did the Klan have a right to march? The pro-Somali protesters?

Did the mayor have a valid point, or was it racism?

Did you notice this did not take place in the South? (OK, self-serving question.)

There are so many interesting issues here. Interested to hear any views.

I don't know how they do things up there, but I thought the state paid the benefits the Somalis have been recieving. Seems like the mayor was out of line asking the Somalis to cease and desist their migration.

Aside: That White Supremist, Hale, was supposed to be the speaker. The guy in jail for hiring a hit on a judge.

What a disaster. It was neat that alot of people staged a protest against the KKK, and in support of the Somalis. Neater still, two diametrically opposing views were expressed.....peacefully.
