It's terrible. The Ku Klux Klan obviously is extremely harmful today. You'd think we're out of the dark ages, obviously not.

KKK History
Friends:
When I had learned my dad and uncle escaped the family home to get away from my grandpas KKK connections, that only affirmed for me that children of the connected make their own choices and my parents had loved themselves and will love me as a gay man.
My dad [1st Lt. Gary R Craddock] escaped to the US Army where he met my mom in Europe.
As a child, they kept me and my sister distanced from the extended family and I would think so because the revelation of the KKK connection to my mom AFTER THE FACT OF THEIR MARRIAGE caused a huge conflict for them although they both disagree with the philosophies.
AS DO I!

No worries, happens all the time.
P.S. Some trivia: Kleinheider ran the Post Politics blog back then for the Nashville Post before being unceremoniously let go. He was at WKRN's Nashville is Talking before that. He was pretty good for a right wing blogger that I rarely if ever agreed with. He now works for Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey as his PR flack.
