Seniors Bryant Beeler and Sean Valentine have an innovative way to entertain Howard University's campus, through their new talk-show collaboration— The Opinionaires.

Since collaborating, the two's blog and show has had immediate success on campus, as they have interviewed various well known-figures on campus, as well as their anonymous surveys such as the Twitter Ego Content and the body count survey.

Beeler says the two started the site to give students something substantial to listen to on campus.

"We wanted to do it to entertain ourselves first and foremost and hopefully entertain others in the process," Beeler said. "We just feel like there's nothing  of substance for students to listen to. People rather talk about Kim K and Beyonce and sh-t that will never effect their lives."

This past week, The Opinionaires, conducted their biggest interview, as they had a phone-interview with a current member from the Ku Klux Klan.

Valentine and Beeler had an opportunity to speak to Pastor Travis Pierce, a retired employee who still works as a pastor occasionally. He founded Christian Identity Ministry Inc. and the Bible College. Davis also currently serves as the National Director of Associates of the Ku Klux Klan.

Beeler says the interview helped show their listeners that those whose opinions differ most from your own often the ones who you can carry the most interesting conversations with.

"A lot of people didn't even think sh-t like this still went on in America," Beeler said.

Throughout the interview, Pierce  explained his beliefs to the pair and explained the latest initiatives of the Klan.

"It never had to do anything with hating of blacks," Pierce said. "Southerners had been around blacks their whole lives, if they hated them why would they have them cooking their food, simply a myth that excites black activism."

Currently, the KKK still believes in racial segregation, due to their faith. "We're just following the dictates of our religious beliefs, and that's what God would have us to be," Pierce said.

In terms of their membership and race, Pierce said it does not matter where you came from; everything runs in your bloodline.

 You can be either Scottish or English-men, you are still considered Caucasian in their terms.

"The are three kinds of people on this earth, Caucasoid (White), Mongoloid (Yellow and Red) and the Negroid (Dark Brown and Blacks), said Davis. "They had it all separated back in ancient history we didn't invent it."

When verifying their applicants for membership, they have a simple formula from which they use from the book, by James O. Pace: "Amendment to the Constitution: Averting the Decline and Fall of America." The book delineates a way of separating the racial guidelines, asides from that they go by the simple expedient of what your birth certificate says.

With the United States being built on immigrates for the past two centuries, Pierce went on to explain that Caucasians have the hardest time to gain entry in the United States and finding work once they are granted citizenship.
