You'll have to be more specific. Threats like? Cross Burning? Murder? Intimidation? Which groups are doing anything similar to the Klan?
While I was leaning toward the message being preached, I would consider turning voters away from a poll with baseball bats to constitute intimidation. In most cases, I would say that it would go unnoticed to the extent that if someone took a picture of me burning remnants of an old outbuilding with two boards nailed together vaguely cross-shaped, I would get more national attention than the NBPP got with their bats at the poll. To really explore this topic, we would need good agenda-free information that we don't have. What I do feel certain of is that in today's climate if you shot me, it would be a common murder. If I shot you, it would be a race incident, regardless of actual motive.
