Just last week, the SPLC reported that the Ku Klux Klan was planning a fundraiser for Darren Wilson.

Now, according to an announcement by the South Carolina-based New Empire Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, a time and place has been set.

On August 23-24, the three factions of the Ku Klux Klan will gather in Sullivan, Mo. – approximately 60 miles from Ferguson – to hold an event to “Stop Negro Crime and the Jewish Media Cover-up.”

All proceeds, according to their site, “will go to the cop who did his job against the negro criminal.”

On Monday, Sullivan Mayor Thomas Leasor issued a statement saying that while city officials knew about the Klan event, they do not support racism in their community in any form.

“City elected officials nor City staff is aware of the specific location for the gathering or have any details regarding the event,” the statement read. “On behalf of the City of Sullivan elected officials and City staff I want to emphasize that we have not, or will not, endorse or condone any activity based on hatred, more specifically any activity based on hatred towards any ethnicity.”

The New Empire Knights also clarified that the while the location was known only to their hooded brothers and sisters, that the event would be held on private property – not public lands – and therefore, unless you are a Klansman there is “no need to worry about our location.”

Imperial Wizard Charles Murray further stressed that the event was not a Klan rally as some have speculated.

”We are not holding a rally. We are having a fundraiser,” he said, although he did warn if anyone tried to mess with the Klan and their event, “we have guns (and more).”

The group also announced today that while in Missouri they plan to provide reinforcements for the Missouri Klan and guard white-owned businesses in Ferguson.

“With blacks out of control, we have our Missouri Realm going to areas near Ferguson,” an announcement posted on their site read indicating the first wave of Klansmen were already on their way. “We can’t have blacks robbing and murdering innocent whites.”
