Subject: SNET: "Ode to Klans" (a poem, interpreted)


->  SearchNet's   SNETNEWS   Mailing List

Dear Friends,

"Ode to Klans" has been so severely misunderstood, 
all across the country, that I give you the author's
official interpretation, as follows:

The title is a play on words;  it means:
 
  "Oh, to cleanse our rotten court system."

I will tell you now.

The legislative history of 42 USC 1983 shows
that southern white judges had joined the KKK
in order to persecute and even murder Negroes.

We have the same kind of criminal element
in our state and federal judiciaries today.

We cannot expect relief from our court system,
on legitimate constitutional questions, 
as long as these criminals go unexposed and
unpunished.

If we do not learn from history, we are surely
condemned to repeat it.

/s/ Paul Mitchell
