Because they were freed some time after the civil war and they still competed for employment, especially in the earlier days for the work that was done by the uneducated and illiterate. The slave states of the USA had both poor and rich white people. and the poor whites were still considered far more valuable then the black person for no other reason then this line had to be followed as part of the scheme in which slavery was made to seem acceptable. However after slavery came to an end the wealthy whites that were sponging of the backs of slaves became less wealthy because they had to pay for labour. there were a huge number of unemployed ex slaves that were desperate to work at any price just to keep some meat on their bones. the result was that now the gap between slaves an uneducated whited had closed considerably. this bred resentment after all these people had been told that they were superior because they were white but they could not find work any more. Under these circumstances it is never difficult to start an organisation based on hating a particular group or groups of people. It is the same sort of thinking that is encouraged by politicians in saying that the people that belong to one nationality are in some way better then those of another.

Why did the KKK name a highway after Rosa Parks?
Actually, the KKK didn't name the highway after Rosa Parks. The state of Missouri did. They did this because one of the participants in the KKK wanted to participate in the 'adopt a highway' thing, but Missouri said no, and the KKK took it to court and the court said it was unconstitutional not to give the highway to the KKK. BUTT, the state of Missouri found a loophole so that THEY could name the highway. So, in short, the state of Missouri named the highway, not the KKK (Ku Klux Klan). -Unipegutato

What stoped wegener from proving that the continents were once together?
One key factor that stopped Wegener from fully proving his theory of continental drift was the lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, Wegener faced resistance from the scientific community who were skeptical of his ideas based on the limited evidence he presented at the time. Lastly, the technological advancements necessary to provide compelling evidence for his theory, such as satellite mapping and deep-sea drilling, were not available during Wegener's time.
