President Obama is keen to introduce tough new laws which will force the KKK and other extreme right-wing groups to disclose the identities of their members, Daily Mail Online can disclose.
The President discussed the possibility of the new measures when he telephoned Charleston mayor Joe Riley following last week’s massacre.
Riley, who is into his 40th year as mayor of the city where nine people were murdered by a self-proclaimed white supremacist down in the AME church massacre, said he and the President talked about how best to set up a national council to act as a watchdog to monitor and report on race hate.
Among the ideas being looked at is legislation forcing extreme right wings groups and violent organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan to provide identities of supporters and members.
Riley, in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail online, said: ‘I have spoken with the President and the Vice President about this. And I have talked to the White House too.
‘One of the things we need to do is for the national government to give resources to expose these hate groups.
‘In America we worship the first amendment and any body can say anything they want.
‘But we need to shine the spotlight on them (racist organizations), so at least we know where they are among the public.
‘Neighbors should be able to know that the person living next to them is an absolute bigot. So there is a lot of work to do.’
He said many self styled racists such as alleged gunman Dylann Roof built their evil beliefs after ‘being fed by the internet’ and new legislation to marshal racial material on the web is set to be brought in.
Of course they are supporting the mindset & actions of a murdering coward.
Duh. They created him.
Have no problem with this.
Daps! to this post, SG2.
The SPLC Southern Poverty Law Center has been following these HATE groups for decades. NAACP? *CRICKETS* They have done absolutely NOTHING to help in the fight to expose these hate groups & dismantle them.
Those hate groups aren’t the problem. The problem is the black people who made them ignorant and filled them with hate. So why dismantle them?
You’ve got to be kidding me. First off, the article didn’t say anything about “dismantling” them. Just for them to stop hiding behind those bed sheets. Secondly, unless the whole black population (since that is who they are against) threatened their well being as much as they have historically done to the black population, then it is completely their own fault for their hate.
I was being sarcastic.
LOL You-Me same sense of sarcasm, SHO!
Lol
I figure u guys would know is was. But then the faux news zombies do say things like that.
My thoughts exactly!! Not sure I’d fault the NAACP, but it’s frustrating that this article implies this is some sort of “new idea.” It could have at least mentioned the SPLC!
