Area Klan leader, Wilbur Mazourek may soon see his life's work jeopardized. Mazourek, 33, is not like many Klansman. Eschewing rallies and protests, Mazourek has spent the last twelve years compiling his "Race Grade" system. "I don't get out much," admitted Mazourek.

Mazourek's Race Grade system is an attempt to categorize and rank races and ethnicity.

"It started out fine," confided Mazourek. "Aryans on top. Blacks on the bottom. Alls I was going to do was fill in the rest. Then I really started thinking."

Jews become Mazourek's first stumbling block. "Jus' where do I put them buggers, above or below blacks? And not all blacks are the same, either. Michael Jordan was pretty cool. Almost like a white guy. Will Smith is pretty funny. But then there's fellas like Vernon Jordan."

After deep soul-searching, Mazourek opted to place Jews above Blacks: "But just barely," cautioned Mazourek. "There's just fewer. Plus, my old boss was an Aryan and he was an asshole. My new boss, Mr. Steinberg, he's actually OK once you get to know him. Come to find out, he don't smell funny or eat babies."

Mazourek has approached his project without any bias. Despite his father immigrating from Lebanon in 1954, Mazourek has awarded the Lebanese a low ranking. "If you knew Daddy, you'd know why."

Mazourek's real problem lies in ranking the Europeans. "Take the Poles. They're Slavs so they should rank low, but they also hate Jews. See, I told you it was a problem. The Italians are a tough case too. They got their lighter skinned Italians in the north, who should rank pretty high and you got the darker types in Sicily who should rank low. Problem is, if Louie Scarano, down at Big Louie's ever found out what I think of Sicilians, he'd kick my ass."

Mazourek had no doubts about who won the top slot: "Easy, the Aryans. That's a no-brainer."

When Mazourek does complete his elaborate ranking system, he plans to celebrate with a trip to Aryania.

Mazourek can be heard Sunday at 4:00PM, at the Bowl & Dine in East Hamlin, where he gives weekly spheches.
