This seriously has to be one of the best stories ever. This is an incredibly amazing and courageous way to combat ignorance and hate... with humor.

Earlier this year, 3 African-American men and 1 African-American woman were arrested and charged with the incredibly brutal double rape and murder of a young white couple. The VNN Vanguard Nazis and the KKK planned a recruitment rally in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee, using the murders as the focal point.

When the Klan rally started, the 100th ARA (anti-Racist Action) Clown Brigade met them in the streets.

The founder of the VNN, Alex Linder was promptly dropped by Knoxville police and arrested after rushing the clowns, kicking off the rally.

From the article:

“White Power!” the Nazi’s shouted.

“White Flour?” the clowns yelled back running in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which spelt “White Flour”.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s angrily shouted once more.

“White flowers?” the clowns cheered and threw white flowers in the air and danced about merrily.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s tried once again in a doomed and somewhat funny attempt to clarify their message.

“Ohhhhhh!” the clowns yelled “Tight Shower!” and held a solar shower in the air and all tried to crowd under to get clean as per the Klan’s directions.

One last time they screamed “White Power!”

The clown women thought they finally understood what the Klan was trying to say. “Ohhhhh…” the women clowns said. “Now we understand…”, “WIFE POWER!” they lifted the letters up in the air, grabbed the nearest male clowns and lifted them in their arms and ran about merrily chanting “WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER!”

This was absolutely brilliant. And an amazingly great way to deal with ignorant, bigoted hatmongers... by mocking them, by humiliating them, by showing them that people are not afraid of them. I hope to one day see an end to bigotry and racism, an end to things like what's going on down in Jena, Louisiana. I think that one day we'll get there. We've got a long way to go yet, but I think that one day it will happen. Until that day though, keep sending in the clowns...
