Why are we cleaning other's people houses when ours is probably dirtier? Someone please elaborate on this, enlighten bitte.
You can outlaw the parties but you can't get rid of these lunkheads. Better to have a legal party where you can watch them then force them to stay completely in their filthy little hovels.
Newmanator is partially correct. Actually some historians have estimated the number of African-Americans killed by the KKK to be several thousand from its inception in 1866 to the 1960's, the peak of the American Civil Rights movement. Comparisons of the KKK to Al Quaeda and the Taliban, ect. are correct. Arising in the immediate aftermath of the American Civil war(1861-1865), the KKK was a domestic U.S. terrorist group that objected to the freedom of the former slaves and the lost of status and privilege of the "genteel" Southerners. The literally terrorized thousands of families for decades, were cowardly and wicked, and are now turning over in their graves over the idea of U.S. president of color. Wickedness knows no color, race or class. The KKK, and their neo-NAZI offspring in America are despicable and shameful and will never "rise again"
