Mother Responds to Controversy After Son Dresses as Klansman for Halloween

CRAIGSVILLE, Va. (WHSV) Halloween is over, but the controversy surrounding a costume is continuing, after a Craigsville boy dressed as a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

The costume is seen as a family tradition.

"My brother has when he was in Kindergarten and when he was 13," said Jessica Black whose son dressed as a Klansman for Halloween.

When Jessica Black's 7-year-old son asked if he could also dress as a member of the White Supremacist group, she made him the costume.

"Cuz it was cool," said Jackson Black when asked why he wore the controversial costume.

His mom maintains there is nothing wrong with the costume or the Klu Klux Klan, which she says still exists in Craigsville.

"It's suppose to be white with white. Black with black. Man with woman and all of that. That's what the KKK stands for. The KKK every year, raises money to donate to the St. Jude's," said Jessica Black.

Back in the 50s and early 60s, I had a schoolmate (of German ancestry) who thought it was cool Germans running the WWII concentation camps had made lampshades from the skin of Jewish prisoners and soap from their bodies' fat (now considered just a war rumor).  This kid laughed with glee at the thought and marched around 'Heil 'Hitlering' everyone.  Sick kid.  Sick.

Does she really think the charity comment makes a bit of difference?  A lot of hate groups have their charities- doesn't absolve them one bit- strange she felt a need to mention it. 

So the Blacks are white supremacists

Too bad stupid can't be bottled up and sent into space.

I wish these people would not get any attention, most of the time they do it for the negative reactions, they feed off of it. If we just ignore them they will be as irrelevant as they should be.

I no longer get upset over idiots like this they are hurting themselves more than anyone else.

[Peace Of Mind]

Are the donations for future recruits? 

I'm constantly amazed at how stupid people are.

I love how she starts out with the racist part and then sails right into homophobic without skipping a beat. Is that a new part the KKK has added to their list of hate?

If you are not a white, conservative, 'Christian' like themselves, you are on their list.

Have to be the right kind of Christian too-pretty sure I remember them hating Catholics.

Just noticed she referred donating to 'the St. Judes'.

In parts of the South, including here, some Southern Baptists do not consider Roman Catholics to be Christian.  So yes, Catholics are on their hate list.

You forgot to add heterosexual to that list, tenn.

I have to wonder if the contributions to St Jude's were made anonymously - or under a "business" account.

I can't imagine them accepting a donation from from a hate-group like the KKK unless they were unaware of the source.

[Tennesseer]

ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ -I can't imagine the KKK as an organization donating a penny anonymously.  They are all about publicity.

Hell, the KKK has taken counties/states to court because the counties/states wouldn't accept money from them so the KKK could participate in the Adopt-A-Highway program.  In that program a sign is put up on the highway announcing their charity and participation.  Good neighbors they are.  

But the mother of the kid sure let it be known where she stands with the KKK.  Pitiful.

It's quite possible the collection of funds was quite real and the donations went straight into the pockets of the "organization" that collected them.

I thought ìt.  You saìd ìt.  Beer money for the next nighttime cross burning rally.

What's the problem with the kid dressing as a klansman?  Aren't a lot of people dressed as monsters?

You are kidding right?  The problem is that those monsters are real.

The term I think you all are looking for is WASP or White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant. With an addendum of LBGT need not apply, all others are not welcome either, which eliminates approx. 75% of our population.

As for the "St Jude's" comment, I see no reason why St Jude's would not accept donations from any entity. I'm sure that they  would not turn away a child of a KKK member if the child was in need of their services. That is one of the things that makes them such a great organization - no one in need is turned away.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

St Jude isn't limited to Catholicism.

He's the "Patron Saint of Desperate Cases" or as "Patron Saint of the Impossible" (New Testament).

The Hospital is named for what St Jude stands for the Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas:

Although it was named after Thomas's patron saint, St. Jude is not a Catholic hospital and not affiliated with any religious organization.

I'm not sure what your are criticizing. I certainly didn't call any child a racist. A child of a KKK member is not necessarily a racist, although I wouldn't be surprised if the child held some of the same beliefs as its parent(s).
