NEWPORT, Tenn. - A small group of Ku Klux Klansmen and their supporters demonstrated Saturday against a local daylong tribute to racial diversity and harmony during the Martin Luther King holiday weekend.

About 30 white supremacists gathered, some wearing Klan robes, for two hours in a designated protest zone outside Newport's fourth annual Diversity Festival. They waved signs saying "Multiculturalism Destroys Diversity" and "Integration is an abomination."

That is the great thing about America, we can all disagree," said Randy Gray, a local Klan supporter and organizer. The Klansmen came mostly from Tennessee, Kentucky and North Carolina.

A Ms. Brittany Thompson, an 18 year old resident of North Carolina, summed my thoughts up about this even best: "Ignorant, I never knew it existed. I just thought it was in the movies — that there are people like this". However, I am supportive of thier constitutional rights to protest thier views. In fact, by and large, the more they do it, the more ridiculous they seem.
