To tell you the truth the fact that "Aryan Power" organisations like
the KKK still exists in this day and age makes me want to throw up
exorcist style all over the walls. And another thing, where do the
douchebags that get involved in organisations like this even get their
ceremonial hooded robes. I mean it's not like you can walk into Kmart
and shop for them in the low-life racist fuck or hate couture
department. Thankfully there aren't too many people making these
cowardly hate gowns but ex-marine now New York photojournalist, Anthony
Karen managed to track down one full-time Ku Klux Klan seamstress, Ms.
Ruth.
Ms Ruth comes from 5 generations of Kluless hate and uses
her earnings to care for her 40 year old quadriplegic daughter, Lilbit,
who was injured in a car accident 10 years ago. Every Sunday, her
husband goes off to sell his white pride merchandise at the local flea
market, while Ms Ruth personally folds and blesses each custom robe she
makes before shipping them directly to the customer. They come in
satin or cotton with quality custom robes selling for up to USD$140 a
pop. Live the dream Ms Ruth, live the dream. I think I'm going to hurl
again. Fuck.
Check out the images from the series Aryan
Outfitters to the right of this post and for more info and audio
samples by the photographer and even Ms Ruth visit Mother Jones.
