(TriceEdneyWire.com) - President Barack Obama won the state of Virginia’s 13 electoral votes in the November 2012 election. Not everybody is satisfied with the outcome.

Fliers reportedly distributed by the Ku Klux Klan of Virginia in the wake of the election boldly read, “Stop Racism!” and “There are thousands of groups working for the interests of blacks and other non-whites, but how many groups stand up for the cultural values of whites? Not many!”

The flier, reportedly circulated in Mechanicsville, goes on to say, “We are determined to maintain and enrich our cultural and racial heritage! We are growing fast and strong because we have NEVER nor will we ever compromise the truth!”

Aston Haughton, president of the Stafford, Va branch of the NAACP says its branch is unaware of Ku Klux Klan activity in his county, but will stay vigilant for anything that may arise.

“If that has come to light and we are aware of it, then we will take aggressive action to bring it to light and to make the law enforcement community be aware of such activity.”

The Klan portrays themselves as a “kinder, gentler” group in the media. Members have attempted to become involved in “Adopt-A-Highway” and other volunteer opportunities. But many Americans are unable to look past the Klan’s dark history.

James Moore of the “Loyal White Knights” of Virginia believes that his organization is grossly misrepresented in the media. In an emailed statement he said, “People tell us to drop the name KKK and pick up another. But the fact of the matter is that it don't (sic) matter what we call [ourselves], the liberal media will still brand us [racist.] Anti-racist is the code word for anti-white!!!”

Moore believes that the Klan is not a hate group, a claim Haughton dismisses.

“The Klan is a hate group,” Haughton says with a bitter laugh. “It’s not a religious group, they’re not out there [passing out] Bibles. The Klan is a hate group.”

Haughton believes the fliers were circulated in an attempt to intimidate people. “It just signifies that they are making every effort to intimidate voters and intimidate the community; to start a resurgence.”

Indeed, Mechanicsville area residents reported a surge in Klan literature as the Klan uses the President’s re-election to promote their agenda.

The Klan may not claim to be a hate-group, but according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there are at least seven known Ku Klux Klan factions in Virginia, and dozens more with ties to the organization. The letters ‘KKK’ were spray-painted on three vehicles in Chesterfield last year.

Richmond resident Destiny Wilson says that the fliers put her on edge. “In any city where there are people of a different race, you’re bound to come across people who don’t agree with your race,” she says.

“But at the same time, they have rights just like I have rights,” she continues.

The First Amendment protects the Klan and permits the distribution of fliers. But the thought of the Klan leaves a sour note in the minds of people who have experienced prejudice first hand. The NAACP says it is doing everything possible to combat racism.

Haughton says firmly, “We continue to fight racism on a daily basis…we are a Civil Rights organization [and] our mission is to stomp out racial discrimination…it’s a constant battle. We never go to sleep on that subject.”
