Yes, that's a former Sexy Single dressed in a KKK costume
Yes, that’s Nicholas “Sixx” King, a black man, dressed in a KKK costume. You may have seen him around town before. Maybe even Thursday on the Drudge Report. A 2010 Daily News Sexy Single, he's infamous for photo bombing the 2003 Grammy Awards.
A self-styled relationship expert, he has written a relationship book that he published himself and also blogged a bit on the topic for Essence magazine.
His latest project is a documentary about gun violence called “Mothers of No Tomorrow.”
King's point is that comparatively speaking, African Americans have murdered more blacks than the Ku Klux Klan did.
I have a column in the works about King scheduled to run in the Daily News next week in which I’ll find out what’s next for this local provocateur.
Meanwhile, his get-up was intended to shine a spotlight on black on black violence. What do you think of the point he’s making? Is it a valid one? Or do you think his shock tactics obfuscated his point?
To wear a KKK suit and stand out in the middle of traffic shows very poor judgment and putting yourself at risk of bodily harm by anybody with a grudge against racism. Lucky nobody knew a black man was wearing a KKK suit.— Aces high- schmuck— AlwaysRight

- US International, Arlene Ackerman passed away last week and there was nowhere to post comments about that. So did Sally Starr and you could comment about that until your heart was content. Philly.com showed remarkable discretion with regard to Ackerman because everyone knows how that would have went. I believe your comment is slightly misguided.— syddan26

I have the same reaction to someone wearing a Klan uniform as I do to someone screaming the n-word in public--it's just wrong. For any reason.
No doubt the man has a point, one that you wrote about when Trayvon Martin was shot. But there has to be another way.— pachysandra - I can't believe the Inq. pays you to write for them. Your writing is so pointless. If you were white, you would be working as a waitress.— phillytransplant
- Jen was more outraged over a white football coach saying Michelle Obama's but t was fat than she is over 7000 black men getting cut down every year. Stay the course, all is well.— tr88
- This comment has been deleted.— BLACK-T&T-
- MY CAPS LOCK IS BROKE TOO!! EVERYONE I WRITE TO THINKS I'M ANGRY AND SCREAMING AT THEM. I JUST WANT MY KEYBOARD FIXED SO I CAN GET MY LIFE BACK.

- Jenice: The statement "King's point is that comparatively speaking..." is incorrect. Those are not "comparative" figures. They are absolute figures. Comparative figures would adjust for differences in population size, etc. The figures he cites are simply totals. That means they are absolute, not relative.— Tatt2
- @ jonline... You need to go look at those numbers again. There is no way it's 50/50 split. You need to be able to comprehend the information your looking at or stop passing the buck.
