I knew one KKK guy thirty years ago and he was a complete whack-job. He reminded me of the communist I worked with at the same time. Absolute nut cases.
My fave Klan story will always be Dave Chappell's The Black White Supremacists sketch
It can't be topped.

Are we referring to Kim, Kourtney, or Kanye when we speak of the KKK?

No. I've hardly even met any open racists, and I lived in the South for nearly a decade. (I also lived down there from the fifth grade through the end of high school, though, which is probably not the time you meet these kinds of people.)
Honestly, I'm almost convinced the organization doesn't officially exist anymore and is mostly filled with undercover FBI agents.

The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

I'm curious what the point of this thread is. Kona is dropping some interesting accounts, but why doe we need yet another pointless race thread?
Because I was curious what people would say. I hear about the evils of the Ku Klux Klan every week on the news, and I've always thought that it was overblown bullshit, but I don't actually KNOW that it's overblown bullshit. I don't live in the south, I'm not as old as some of the other members, and it's possible that I'm simply ignorant. For reasons that should be obvious to anybody on this board, I don't trust the official statistics, which means that my only option is to find out for my own. So I asked people to see what answers I would get.
As I expected, I got some funny anecdotes, and confirmation that the Klan in the US is basically a relic of the past. The thread's at 2000 views, and eight people have said in the poll that they have ever met someone from the clan. This is a fairly disciplined forum that's good at staying on topic, so I imagine we'll get a couple more funny anecdotes and then it will slide of the page and be forgotten. Everyone who reads it, however, will now have some data to confirm their suspicions that the Klan in the US is dead as a doornail, and what is a haven for pathetic losers.
I agree its a good idea for a thread if for no other reason than to, at least on this forum, provide some stark relief for the clan's irrelevance. When MSM tried to taint the Trump campaign with connection to it and I remember thinking: "WTF?!...the Klan?...Really?...that'd be fucking hilarious if the general public wasn't so mal-informed"
^^Exactly. But "they" need "useful idiots" to obtain their goals.
Think about this: With the influx of "Replacement Americans", do they know (or care) about people, places and events that occurred even 30 years ago? I'd say the vast majority do not.

I've heard ALOT about the KKK in recent months with the election and all, but I've never actually met anyone in my life who was at all associated with them. In fact, there more articles written about Trump and his supposed KKK support then actual KKK members in the entire country.
Currently, I live in Missouri and I haven't run across anyone in hoods, chains, or with crosses they were looking to burn. In fact, I haven't even seen a peep from anyone saying anything favorable about the KKK.
I guess I need to look harder and talk to more people - even though I work at a call center and talk to god knows how many people a day.
Perhaps, just perhaps, the KKK now includes anyone who isn't a leftist chode muncher and doesn't drone and drivel about diversity all day. I'm waiting for them to "redefine" what the KKK is, just like they've done with every other ist and ism.

There used to be KKK Kamp in central Ohio back in the eighties. It was near a major highway and on some nights you could see their cross burn. Don't know what ever happened to it.
Back in the eighties one or more of the various Klanlets would schedule marches. They would end up with ten Klukies and three hundred counter-protesters. I used to wonder if the counter-protesters didn't secretly give them money so they would have something to counter-protest.

There's a reason those countries are poor and it has everything to do with weak intelligence. Those "kids" from those areas should feel shame for the shit holes that they live in. Maybe then they'll work to improve their homes before trying to flee to a place that has been cleaned and built up by others.
I'm not going to get into it. The topic's far too complex for anyone to completely comprehend.
What isn't complex, or shouldn't be, is behaving with decency towards our fellow man, especially those not as fortunate as we are.
Kicking people when they're down isn't my style.
Decency...? Sure.
But this does not require my pathological altruism, as Immanuel Kant might argue!

Oh wow. I don't want to put the link here, but google the 24 hour Klanline.
I'd love to hear some of those conversations in the middle of the night "this cross won't light" or something.
There really is a KkK call center.
Aloha!

I was hanging out with an old coworker yesterday and he told me he went to a couple klan meetings when he was 17. I didn't believe him at first but he still has his membership card.

Obviously never met a clans member but although I am from a small town (22k) I know at least 5 guys that got swastika/WW2 Soldier/Black Sun tattoo. See most of them in my gym, quite normal blue collar guys.
