One man came dressed in a Ku Klux Klan robe and hat, draped in a Confederate flag. He was leading another man -- in blackface makeup, flannel shirt and jeans -- by a rope with a noose.They were not only permitted to enter the legion, but won the prize for 'most original costume'.
Since then, all hell has broken loose in Campbellford, a small town midway between Toronto and Ottawa Canada.
Local outrage became national disgust. The legion was ordered by its provincial commanders to temporarily close its doors. Ontario Provincial Police are investigating, but don't expect to lay charges -- saying it's more bad taste than criminal.
The costumes weren't meant to be racist, that the whole thing was a joke is what both claim.

lynchings, and the amount of blacks that have been murdered by KKK lynch mobs is not a joke?
If these two guys would have walked into the legion, one dressed in a German costume in reference to Hitler and the other as a Jew what would have been the outcome?
Would charges have been pressed, would the Media just have move on to another story.
What would our Prime Minister do? What would the Canadian Jewish Congress be doing?
