I saw that, that was hilarious. Other thing is, why would a black man be wearing a KKK costume?? And they were nothing alike.

It makes me wonder - if a black guy DID dress up as a KKK member for Halloween, would anyone complain? And on what grounds?

great clip!
But there are black, white supremists many of them work in the justice dept. They think that if they are white supremist's uncle tom, then they get spared.

Anyway....if he was out infront of an ice cream shop...I would asume he was ice cream, but if he had that costumein another setting, I would think he was the KKK's dunce.

Dumb idiots. An hispanic guy in what is clearly an Ice cream cortume mistaken for the klan? It even has sprinkles and the cone!

I assumed it was a plain white outfit, also is it illegal to wear klan robes? I have no idea about Floridas laws.

That looked nothing like a KKK robe! It's a freaking ice cream!

Jeez, people in the US are overreacting to EVERYTHING now!! ! 8O The people who "mistook" it must have been really drunk or stoned, or just really paranoid, or looking for their 15 minutes of "fame". :?

They were looking for an excuse to be offended.

The danger of over-vigilance is paranoia. A problem all over the political spectrum of America. It's a climate of fear I think with many causes.
