Issue and Opponent: In May 2007, a group of white supremacists from across the United States, including members of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), an American hate group, converged on Knoxville, Tennesse, for a rally, displaying acts of racism and hate-filled messages. These extreme right groups use these spaces to reproduce the message of White Power, and recruit new members into their movement Dilemma Action: In response, locals met hatred with humor, showing up with an army of clowns, stilts, unicycles, red-noses, and counter-slogans all included. They far outnumbered the white supremacists. They replaced “‘white power'” with “‘white flour’,” then proceeded to arm themselves with bags of flour and throw it all over each other. A second group later corrected that it was actually “‘white flower’,” and then a new group of clowns ran around the streets gifting white flowers to everyone they met, including rally participants. Finally, a group of clowns corrected the phrase to ”wife power'” and proceeded to chant that. The media attention focused on the clowns, not the neo-Nazis, and several of the rally participants were disarmed by the distraction. The rally ended early, while the clown contagion carried on with messages of love and laughter, drowning out the hate. Outcome: The white supremacist group was outmatched, upstaged, and overwhelmed, deciding to end the activities hours earlier than expected. The group of clowns continued their march and even though the police were present, they only peacefully escorted them.
