Take this
image of James R. Jones, a grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. When paired with
the quote, from Cedar Crossing, the nonchalant nature of a man calmly driving
to a hate rally is paired with the nostalgia of an old Texan. This
juxtaposition between the hatred for another man and the comfort of "the
good old days" conjures up a disturbing feeling.
"Everyone knew the others, them Ku Kluxers, them clan members would get together out in the dark of night and talk about the good old days and to plan forays agin' they didn't think was upholding the old ways." (Busby, 22)
