Fighting over scraps

Even KKK members summer in the Hamptons.
The Ku Klux Klan has been leaving recruitment pamphlets next to mailboxes and in driveways in Hampton Bays over the past few weeks.
The hate-filled leaflets include racist cartoons and caution recipients to “beware” of people looking to steal their jobs in the Suffolk County community, said the Southampton Town Police Department.
The flyers promote the Loyal White Knights, a North Carolina-based Klan group, which has recruited in other states, according to reports.The Suffolk County hate crime unit has been notified, but distributing such leaflets is legal.
Robert Jones, grand dragon of the Loyal White Knights, said he didn’t know anything about the New York recruitment — but had an idea what it was about.“Everybody’s fed up with immigration,” Jones told Newsday. “That’s why we have so many people from New York calling right now.”
The KKK knows what it’s doing. Hampton Bays isn’t filled with billionaires, Real Housewives and Kardashians. It’s more of a working class town. And it’s 25% Hispanic.
The racists apparently want to dominate the low-paid servant market. How perfect.
