Ku Klux Klan

The great Grand Wizard Nathan Bedford Forrest boasted that the Klan had 550,000.

they terrorized all the colored citizens..

There were essentially three different Klans. The first, formed right after the Civil War, persecuted freed African Americans and those who supported their rights. The second, commonly called the Klan of the 1920s, also persecuted African Americans and some immigrants but also moonshiners and bootleggers. The third Klan, that of the 1950s and 1960s, persecuted African Americans and those who promoted their civil rights.

Federal legislation was very helpful in the 1800s as was legal actions in the 20th century.

Not if we want to keep the few freedoms we have or at least the illusion of those freedoms. If you ban one group then any other group can be banned if enough people want it. Groups like the KKK have to be tolerated so that others can exist.

the last march would be today, october 18th, earlier today they were marching in pearl mississippi

Deciding to name their club with the Greek word 'kuklos', the root of English words 'cycle' and 'circle', and 'clan' because it alliterates, The founders of KKK were educated and knew Greek. They decided to name their society after the Greek word 'kuklos', where modern English words 'cycle', 'circle', etc. were derived from.

the original motivation of the KKK was to "cleanse" the USA of people with darker skin pigments (black people).

Nowadays, i really don't know what they are doing, but they have one or more websites (www.KKK.bz, for instance) if you wanna check it out, just search the internet.

We are Anonymous.

We are Legion.

We do not forgive.

We do not forget.

Expect us.

Overall, most do, but it depends on the exact local chapter. There is no single organized KKK since any group can call themselves a Klan chapter. There is plenty of infighting between KKK chapters, with members of some chapters accusing members of other chapters of being gay or Jewish.

Some chapters hate gays and lesbians and some even have gay members. The same applies to neo-Nazi groups. Some of the skinheads are actually pro-gay. Some chapters of the KKK have even been known to side with local chapters of civil rights groups like the NAACP on issues such as unlawful immigration. So even hate groups vary in scope and the number of people they hate.

The Ku Klux Klan is a white supremacist group which discriminates against anyone who is not white. This includes African-Americans, Latinos, etc. They also discriminate against Jews, Catholics, homosexuals, immigrants, and other groups of people.

They believe tat this world should only have white people living on it and the only religion should be christianity. They're a bunch of pathetic morons. All they teach is hate hate hate. They would KILL anyone, like back in the old days, they hung many blacks. They hate other people because of how they look. There is only one race in this world, and tat's the human race. Remember tat pal and don't become one of those scumbags!

They got away with murder because so many people where in the Ku Klux Klan and even the court judges and police where often in the kkk. They would work together to keep themselves out of trouble by not letting each other getting convicted for crimes. Hope this helps :)

The film The Birth of a Nation - Apex

The first Ku Klux Klan, which ran from 1865 through the 1870s had about 550,000 members. The second Ku Klux Klan, which ran from 1915 to 1944 had about 4,000,000 member.

they changed america by setting back Blacks evolution. if the kkk wasnt around, our first black president might have been years ago. they terrorized not only blacks but other minorities. they made immigrants think twice before they came to america. they made heroes think twice before standing up for the little guy. the lit the flame of fear under everyones heart. that is how the kkk changed many peoples lives, and america.

As St. Augustine said 'an unjust law is not law at all.' In other words, an unjust law would be a law, that takes away ones freedom, or causes harm, or basically just causes chaos. Which is the exact opposite of what a law is put in place to do.

----------------

(From "Why We Can't Wait" Letter from the Birmingham Jail - by Martin Luther King Jr.)

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. ... Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. ...

An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. By the same token, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself. This is difference made legal.

Let me give another example. A law is unjust if it is inflicted on a minority that, as a result of being denied to vote, had no part in enacting or devising the law. ... Can any law enacted under such circumstances be considered democratically structured?

Sometimes a law is just on its face and unjust in its application. For instance, I have been arrested on a charge of parading without a permit. Now, there is nothing wrong in having an ordinance which requires a permit for a parade. But such an ordinance becomes unjust when it is used to maintain segregation and to deny citizens the First-Amendment privilege of peaceful assembly and protest.

Although professing to be a "Christian" organization, the KKK or Ku Klux Klan was a racist terrorist organization. Formed primarily as a means of intimidating black men into not exercising their right to vote, their goal was to maintain white supremacy and the enforcement of the Jim Crow regime at any cost.

Some say that they had women memberships and even started youth groups. you had to be a white person that disapproved of the advancement of blacks, Jews and other small minority groups.

there still are groups out there that consider themselves the KKK and practive similare activities and beliefs. however, im pretty sure that it is illegal now and if they get caught they could get in a lot of trouble with the law

The KKK were founded in 1865, Martin King, a local doctor of Pulaski, Tennesee who founded the organisation as a kind of support group for troubled young christian men, the group didn't become politicised until much later

The KKK subjugated black people, prevented the organization of the Republican Party in the South, promoted Prohibition and targeted moonshiners and bootleggers, and used violence to intimidate people.
