| Black man raises awarenss for black on black crime using KKK (Posted on 2/7/13 at 12:18 pm)
LINKquote:
Thirty-five-year-old Sixx King says he’s using the offensive symbol to highlight a serious problem: black on black crime
quote:
. King’s sign reads that the KKK killed 3,446 blacks in 86 years, while black on black murders surpass that number every six months
quote:
“I don’t agree with that symbolization,” said Jones. “But you can’t ignore the message, so I support what he did.”

just know the city councilman doesn't agree with the symbolization of using the klan get up
and when i talk about the black community trying to work within itself to sort out its problems, this is an example of that, AT LEAST to the extent that it delivers an effective message about a major issue

His sign should hit home. As often as "Black Leaders" blame racism for the root of all things bad that happen to black people at least this guy is trying to put things into perspective.

“We’re bringing awareness to the black hypocrisy, complacency and apathy in the African-American community,” said King.
Sounds like he is saying "the black community must take responsibility for the problem and not point fingers.
