Was it a coincidence that he robe went for $3000?
That’s 3K… or KKK.
A Ku Klux Klan hood and robe sold for $3,000 in a Pennsylvania auction on Saturday.
Scranton-area ABC affiliate WNEP-TV reported that an anonymous buyer purchased it on consignment at the Beaver Springs Auction Center.
The auction center had faced backlash for allowing the item to be auctioned off, including a call from a local pastor who called it “inappropriate,” according to WNEP.
Auctioneer Dawn Miller defended the decision to accept the robe for a consignment sale, citing its “historical” value.
“My reasoning is it’s a historical item,” Miller told the station. “They’re very valuable and they’re very collectible and it is strictly historical.”
Save those Maga hats!
Thy might increase in value more than your 401KKKs.
So expensive! Must be very rare.
I wanted it…But the Ass was too small.
My guess is it’s now at either the Black Museum in DC or the SPLC HQ.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnd all those angry people probably vote democRAT!
I guess they’re just pissed off at having their history waved in from of them!
From the Robert Byrd collection.
Of course the auctioneer is going to defend its sale, they make 20% or more selling it!
…hmm, looks like it’s about Hillary’s size, maybe something to wrap herself in on those cold Chappequa evenings and reminisce about her mentor…
I don’t have a problem with the sale. I just have a problem with the people who wore it. It’s part of history – and it’s also like looking at a train wreck. lol.
Somewhere there is a photograph of some guys I knew.
2 grandfathers, 3 fathers and 2 sons, all wearing robes, 3 generations of Democrat racists.
Democrats to their yellow dog core.
When I was growing up, my father had more black and Jewish friends than Dixie friends, he was a Republican from WI.
It must have come from the white suburbs.
This is the model T of klan robes; Tx museum has a much classier one (classy as dems get, that is):

Department stores used to have white sales all the time. No biggie
I have several white sheets for sale at $3,000 – all guaranteed to be KKK-ware. In fact, i have an ulimited supply – all sizes, all materials. Pillow cases and fitted mattress cover thrown in for free. Free shipping, too.
The same obtuse people make the same ignorant arguments over guns.
It’s an inanimate object, deal with it.
I won’t talk back, or even smirk.
I’m with Anonymous. I’m also full of avarice and have access to a sewing machine. I say we flood the market and cash in. KKKa-Ching!
They got screwed. You can buy the same set in Single, Twin Queen and King at Bed, Bath and Beyond starting at $19.99.
Maybe this one belonged to Robert Byrd.
