The Ku Klux Klan attacked people who were enemies of the Democrat Party with the indifference (and sometimes the aid) of the police. Now Antifa and Black Lives Matter are doing the same thing in Berkeley and other places.
#1 they're not hate groups
#2 they don't have a decades long history of oppressing minorities
#3 They haven't murdered a bunch of people based on race and religion.
I can't believe so many people are so ignorant on the history of the KKK...
How horrible. How many victims have been attacked? Do you have any links? I'm wondering if they target a specific group, like women who are walking by themselves, or elderly men. Or is more like you're just minding your business coming out of a restaurant or bar and get clocked in the face. Are they shooting people, too? Scary times.
"Armed guerrilla warfare killed thousands of Negroes; political riots were staged; their causes or occasions were always obscure, their results always certain: ten to one hundred times as many Negroes were killed as whites." Masked men shot into houses and burned them, sometimes with the occupants still inside. They drove successful black farmers off their land. "Generally, it can be reported that in North and South Carolina, in 18 months ending in June 1867, there were 197 murders and 548 cases of aggravated assault."
"Klan violence worked to suppress black voting, and campaign seasons were deadly. More than 2,000 people were killed, wounded and otherwise injured in Louisiana within a few weeks prior to the Presidential election of November 1868. Although St. Landry Parish had a registered Republican majority of 1,071, after the murders, no Republicans voted in the fall elections. White Democrats cast the full vote of the parish for President Grant's opponent. The KKK killed and wounded more than 200 black Republicans, hunting and chasing them through the woods. Thirteen captives were taken from jail and shot; a half-buried pile of 25 bodies was found in the woods. The KKK made people vote Democratic and gave them certificates of the fact."
Any organization in the USA that is based on race is anti American and should be abolished. We need organizations that encourage patriotism and good citizenship.
We're seeing a new low in the far-right media when we have people asking questions like this.
