Deus Ex Macintosh’s last blog post..Unwarranted Intrusion

The problem with this cross is its design. There’s a reason cross decorations like this have their lights along their sides, rather than sticking out. The color scheme is bad too – if it was multicolored, like christmas tree lights, it wouldn’t be a problem. As-is though, its pretty much like putting out a sign saying “I’m a part of the KKK!”

Then again, the difference between the AFA and the KKK isn’t all that great; they’re pretty much the same sort of people with rather similar ideologies. They just emphasize different parts of “white Christian”.

Kim, is this particular cross with the burning candle-globe effect necessarily a blatant intimidatory attempt to evoke an image with a particularly repugnant racist terror campaign history? Nope, not necessarily.

Is it, at the very least, an insensitive choice of an image with a particularly repugnant racist terror campaign history? You betcha, especially coming from an organisation based in Mississippi.

There are plenty of other ways to illuminate a cross that don’t make it look like the KKK came to visit.

Of course it is lit up. ;)

This was a long bow.

cloaked the cross entirely in red lights. It was my attempt to emphasize that the blood of Jesus was shed on the cross to pay for mankind’s sin. A visitor to our home commented that she thought it looked like the flaming cross of the Ku Klux Klan.
