Supreme Fools

The following piece is about a serious subject – racism. Although it has a lighthearted tone, it is not my intention to disrespect or offend the victims of prejudice.


I don’t understand those who advocate white supremacy. Its followers can't claim to be the best when clearly they’re the worst when it comes to learning from history. If only they could see that their own worst enemies are, in fact, themselves.

     Take the Ku Klux Klan. They may claim that people who are ‘not like them’ are taking all their jobs. However, they ignore the real reason they can’t get work: nobody is going to employ a person who shows up at an interview looking like they belong on the ghost train at a fairground. 

     You would think that all this feeling superior business would make racists smug – but, if anything, they are nearly always angry. I’ve found one possible explanation for this. The KKK have members called Grand Dragons and Imperial Wizards. They must be driven mad (in every sense of the word) because they can’t decide whether they’re racists or wannabe extras in a Harry Potter movie. 

    And staying on the Klan, I’d like to ask a final question: why all this fondness for K-words? In their twisted world, is the letter ‘C’ inferior to ‘K’? If so, then it’s time they became aware of the fact that all letters are created equally. And it’s surely time they realised the same rule of equality also applies to humans.
