What was the significance of the KKK's hood?
The hood were pointy and it was white. That means that they think the white people are the top and the black people are not welcome to the club. When the black people usually see the pointy, white hat they would usually try to stay away from the KKK because they thought they would get abused by the KKK. But this days, if you wear a white, pointy hat in front of a black man, you wont be so happy after 5 min because it is a serious racist problem.

Yes, it stands for Klu Klux Klan. This is a white supremacy group that in the past used terrorism tactics and murder to spread their hate of blacks.
"Six Confederate veterans from Pulaski, Tennessee created the original Ku Klux Klan on December 24, 1865, during the Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War.

It seems to be because they believe they are superior like the Nazis also believed. They may think that what Hitler did in his reign of genocide against several ethnic groups was the way they would do things too. But it is very hard to understand why people who discriminate and generalize tend to be that way. It may be because that is what influential adults taught them to do when they were innocent children. They believe what they have been told and continue to practice hate because they think that is the way everyone does things. A sad cycle that is hard to break as they teach it to their innocent children who teach it to their innocent children because when they were innocent children that is what they were taught.
no they are two totally different things why would you even think that they are the same. the KKK were made by southern democrats (yes democrats) while the masons were formed by the Europeans. the KKK killed blacks the masons didn't

What type of people joined the KKK?

Can a Catholic person join the KKK?
The KKK has never liked the Catholic Church, but became even more vocal about its opposition upon its resurgence in the early 20th century. Reasons for the Klan's anti-Catholicism stems from both social and religious reasons. Historically, the Klan has Protestant roots, from which it takes the more radical views on Catholicism. The KKK considers the pope a Roman dictator, placing itself before God. As well, Catholicism is notorious for its multi-culturalism, another mark against it. Socially, many of the immigrants coming to America were Catholics, whom the Klan felt were taking jobs away from Americans and hence were undesirables. In 1974, faced with dwindling popularity and numbers, David Duke made a milestone, shifting Klan policy by opening Klan membership to Roman Catholics provided they were white.
Who was a famous member or members of the KKK?
Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate general officer, is generally considered to be the founder of the Klan. At times the more traditional spelling Clan- originally Scottish and meaning a family or tribe- like the Mclellan CLAN, etc. The father of the novelist Robert ( I think) Dixon was a KKK officer. (he had also been a confederate trooper) Dixon is best known for his novel, The Clansman, which was later Retitled (The Birth of A Nation) and made into a famous and controversial historical film circa l9l5. It is fairly obvious that George Wallace was a white-sheet man. Interestingly enough there is no truth to the very popular misunderstanding- as he was the best-known Rebel General, that Robert E. Lee founded the KKK or was a primary member or organizer, neither is true. there may have been chapters named in his honor but that is not the same thing.
along time ago whites felt like they owned the world so they wanted to decrease or eveneliminate the black/Jew anyone who wasn't white population.
Actually the KKK wasnt started not because of discrimination but because of politics. The KKK were democrats who forced blacks to vote democrat because they were losing the black population to republicans. After they realized it wasnt working they switched to republican party. but i guess the KKK lived on as discrimination against africans. but it wasnt started as discrimination.
How many deaths is the KKK responsible for?
The saddest part of this question is that the KKK was started by Nathan Forrest to provide some sense of order (in the south) after the civil war. Black individuals could even join it for a brief time.
The organization quickly took a very sad and dark turn and became a horrible and evil empire. No one knows the total number of lost lives to this group. There probably are hundreds of deaths that this group is responsible for that are not even known about.

The KKK doesnt pin point jus African Americans like alot of people think they do. The KKK was brought about to expedite peoples that didnt want to work and live off the government that didnt want to take care of their kids or families and that didnt believe in the christian faith. All they wanted to do was keep their families safe from people that caused harm around the places they lived. Yes there are some people that just hate people but that doesnt mean that they are members of the KKK. There are black people that don't like whites, Mexicans, asians and more, anybody can hate anybody.
