Well, I would like to start off by saying that in America, there's no such thing as Black people "racism." Racism requires POWER, which we don't have in comparison to the majority. We SHOULD have the power, but that topic is saved for another day. Blacks can be prejudiced and bigoted, but not racist.
Now, in this instance, the Blacks were in more of a power position than Mills...but I think that rejecting a former Klansman is justifiable...even if he "floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee." Uh...was that an attempt to act "familiar" with Black culture or something (just a question)?
I think their decision is similar to a predominently white Christian organization not wanting to be led by a former Black Panther Party Member. Although Black Panthers and Klansmen are vastly different---these are examples of some former affiliations that will always make another race weary of your presence and of your leadership. If Mills wants to prove that he has changed he should be a dedicated member to that organization, he shouldn't prove his change by filing a lawsuit and trying to become their president.
