that fiber looks so cheap. I would have expected cotton, I think. -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 8, 11:06 10
- well, those are wedding robes, maybe cotton is too casual? -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 11:08 8
  - (i mean, they seem like people who would worry about dress codes and fashion rules, obvie.) -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 11:10
  - there's one "after cross burning" photo that's the same fiber. only one robe looks remotely natural. -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 8, 11:10 5
    - i wonder if it's flammable? - Andie Apr 8, 11:11 4
      - We can only hope. -- nm - pmb Apr 8, 11:13 1

They're actually burning a large lowercast T which stands for "time to leave" -- nm - Cadbarony Creme Egg Apr 8, 10:48
OMG they even got a klan outfit for the dog! -- nm - groiny Apr 8, 10:47 3

- Well sure, you can't expect the dog to make his own. -- nm - Cadbarony Creme Egg Apr 8, 10:51
without reading (i skimmed pictures) does anyone know where cross *burning* started? - Andie Apr 8, 10:43 6
- Originally a connection to Scottish clans. Then popularized by the movie Birth of a Nation. -- (link) - mara Apr 8, 10:47 1
  - interesting -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 10:48
- " Klan Christians, however, state that it is not destroying the cross, but "lighting" it, as a symbol of the members' faith." -- (link) - ty97 Apr 8, 10:45 2
  - Oh, look. They're wrong about this too. -- nm - spamlet, celebrating Rex Manning Daaaayyyyy! Apr 8, 10:59
  - their stupidity is really quite amazing. i note that the dog is also white, obvie. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 10:46
- I don't know, but maybe there's a burning bush connection. -- nm - Max Apr 8, 10:44
