KKK will hold a recruitment rally in Madison County

[Kutnupe14]

Lots of folks in the dry counties of KY, TN and other states continue to support Prohibition. More money to be made by bootlegging...

/Follow the money and all that...

Oh, I'm clear. I come from a wet city, in a dry county in Alabama... and yes, I said that right.

It’s getting out of hand with heroin. Black, white or brown, it doesn’t matter. Everyone knows the issues and talks about it,” but, in the end, nothing is done to stop it, he said.

But no mention of meth....go figure.

Yeah, KY has them as well.

If you can, check out The Bourbon Trail.

So this is floating around today.

Evan Bayh Approved Incorporation of the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana

According to INBiz, that date was 11/30/87, not the 16th. Regardless, as SecState, he doesn't have the authority to turn down a legit application. Paperwork in order? Okay, business is incorporated.

The Klan is incredibly unhomogenous and disorganized.

Look at their websites. Each "Klan" doesn't recognize the other.

From the TAKKKK "Beware of other groups with similar names. This is the True Traditional KKK, we do not accept, socialist or nazi ideals!"

From the LWKKKK "Before speaking with or discussing Klan business or information with any other person claiming to be Klan, you are required to contact your state leaders to assure you are not speaking with fakes, trouble makers or any other phonies."

From the UNSKKKK " They act like that because they are not real and do not follow true ways of the Klan. Phonies. Fakes."

Some Klans have started taking in Hispanics and homosexuals. I've heard tell of one that even has African-American members (their excuse being that Jews are the bigger threat).

I have a feeling the slapstick presented in Django is not far from the truth at this point in time.

Not to mention their love of silly names and words. Klonvocation, Klallif, Kludd, Grand Dragon, Imperial Wizard, klanishness, etc.

The Klan is incredibly unhomogenous and disorganized.

So are the various terrorist groups (foreign or domestic, Christian, Jewish or Muslim, black, brown or white, etc.), yet we must take them seriously.


/The word you were looking for was "heterogeneous"...

Too lazy to read upthread but are these idiots still relevant?

White suprematists can be quite relevant. Their presence in the first few seasons of "Sons of Anarchy" allowed us to view a violent, illegal gun running, outlaw biker gang as the "good guys".

When a current VP candidate refuses to describe a former KKK leader as "deplorable", they're still relevant. At least enough for that party to pander to them.

Indeed so. Ironically, as you hold this up as apparently unacceptable, it is being widely preached as unacceptable to criticize some other groups for holding the very same ideas directed at different groups than those held up by the KKK.

But just like the black dorms out west, we have good segregation and bad segregation, thus good bigotry and bad bigotry.

If you're talking about the NOI of NBPP, then they are criticized quite a bit. I cant think of any other group.

Completely bigotry.... but let's not euphemize the Klan, who they are, their history, and their continued existence. There is not one group, that has ever come close to what they are, what they do, what they preach.

Yes, followed immediately by the critics being denounced as bigots or racists.

You apparently skipped out the day that the Islamic conquest of the middle east and incursion into Europe was covered in history class, and that threat still exists in a much more dangerous form than the KKK ever was.

Apologies, "....in America."

You are denying that other groups have preached extermination in America?

Of course not, the Nation of Islam come to mind. But as vile as they are, they haven't had the history, power, and influence that the Klan has had. The Klan is the worst such organization, in our nations history, far and away... not counting govt

OK, now tell me how an organization that was indeed all you say in the past represents a greater threat than organizations that are trending upward today and enjoy a great deal of social protection from the same talking heads who excoriate politicians for failing to denounce David Duke loudly enough in spite of the fact that the man is almost completely irrelevant today?

You'll have to be more specific. Threats like? Cross Burning? Murder? Intimidation? Which groups are doing anything similar to the Klan?
