How Many People Hate Ku Klux klan?
There is no way to say how many, some people that don't hate the KKK simply don't state their feelings because they know it will be taken as an outrage, and with great hostility. Sometimes on News shows there are even people who publicly declare their support for the KKK. But I think it can assumed that those people are only the 1% of the crowd and in general yes everyone does not support the KKK....At least I would hope so.
Where did the name KKK come from?
The name "Ku Klux Klan" was most likely originated from the Greek word "kuklos", meaning circle. Also, "Klan" was considered another version for the word "clan", so the founders of the KKK must have merged these words together to form the name of their organization, "Ku Klux Klan". All together, the name suggests that the KKK is a circle, or band, of brothers.~ Rosalind FraserVisit the link below for more.
