The ugliness and racial terrorism in Southern Indiana and Western Kentucky keeps growing, as emboldened white supremacists continue their 'marketing campaign' in the region. For months, Black farmers, city employees and neighborhoods in the region have been targeted by various KKK organizations, some of whom have travelled from as far away as Michigan to pepper neighborhoods with "Klanvertising" material.
The infamous nooses have already played a role in meetings between city leaders and several civil rights activists in Kentucky, yet civil rights probems continue, some say increase, on a daily basis. In the last two months, several organizations have held informational pickets in Western Kentucky and in Frankfort, Kentucky, right on the grounds of Kentucky State University.
The picketers were run off of the right of way right in front of the KSU experimental farm, right outside of Frankfort, Kentucky. Many say the way agriculture loans are handled in Kentucky and elsewhere is living proof that institutional racism is alive and well, and they wanted to express their views during a conference of Black farmers and federal agriculture employees, but officials were having none of it.
And so we have it: freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, the right to own property and other civil rights are under siege, even as supremacists paper the state with recruiting material and vandalize private property to hold KKK meetings.
The situation is dire for many who full well know the history of this organization and its associated groups, a one hundred plus year history replete with lynching, bombing, beatings and intimidation. The time is now, the situation is real and the drums are beating.
