KKK soliciting in Woodstock subdivision

It is 2016, my neighbors and I awoke to KKK flyers on our driveways targeting transgender people. I have lived in Georgia for 19 years and this is the first time I have seen anything like this. No one was specifically targeted as it appeared on all the driveways in the subdivision; however, members of the KKK are driving through my subdivision soliciting members, action, money and the like.

I live here with my children. I know hatred is everywhere, as is good, but this was mind-blowing. Again, I live here with my children. Shouldn't at least our homestead be a safe haven. Shouldn't my kids be able to walk to the bus stop in 2016 without stumbling past this hate?

Our country is seething in hatred, it is becoming the norm. In the past few weeks I have seen Nazi-related memes appearing on social media and even a graphic showing a little girl blowing ashes saying, "Goodbye Jews," which I have shared here. I struggled whether to share this hatred and give the ugliness more attention or just not acknowledge. I had to share.

Even excluding the current election environment, hatred and discrimination seems to be growing. If we accept the denigration and persecution of any group, we are allowing hatred to spread. We all have differences. Sooner or later, all of us may be on the wrong side of hate groups like the KKK.
