Hi!
I just wanna know why Ku Klux Klan is doing what is doing. You know - hating to death blacks and jews etc.

Please post your ideas!

Same reason minorities have been persecuted in various cultures all over the world for millenia. Xenophobia is human nature. Life is not easy. When life is difficult, it is easier to have someone to hate and to blame for it becuase then things seem easier to solve. Ignorance and anger breed unjust hate for a people or culture that one does not understand and fears because it is alien. Sad, sad, state.
From what I've heard the KKK did not start as a racist organization, just some bored country Boy Yahoos, who thought it would be fun to drive around at night in funny get ups in some of the poorer (less law enforcement) areas. The minorities that populated a lot of these communities were scared by this unusual behavior which pleased the immature young men, and provoked them to target these people in order to cause more fear and feel more powerful, over time, the situation escalated. The rest is history.

after the clan started to get violent it fought for the old social order in which blacks were subservient, and opossed reconstruction after reconstruction ended and blacks were still on the lowest possible social rung they didn't really have a pourpose so they just went home and forgot about the whole thing. It wasn't untill the release of D.w. griffiths movie the birth of a nation, A horrible movie that cast the KKK as the defender of white sothern womanhood and blacks as subhuman animals whose only pourpose in life was to defile white women, that a new clan was created, the united klans of america, which held incredible clout durring the tweenties with many people in political offices belonging to it including a number of senators and state reps. There are a few factors which killed the second klan not the least of which being that the leader of the klan in michigan, I think, got drunk had a female aide brought to him, he raped her bit her like a cannibal, she drank some toxin trying to kill herself but failed and he refused to get her to a doctor to save her because that would show to the world what he did so he hid her in his attic but somehow she escaped or someone took her to the hospital. In her final days she gave the information that led to his conviction, that killed klan membership the final blow came latter and like many mobsters of the tweenties and thirties the united klan was killed for back taxes. The next klan that was created was created as a number of independant cells, and exists like it does today.

I really watch the history channel too much.

fear.

because its fun

(disclaimer: i dont support the klan or anything...let em do it....have fun....they'll either get bored and stop or do something stupid and get jailed or just continue being fun to watch on tv because i think grown men dressed like casper to fuel racism is prime time entertainment....but bugs bunny is better enterainment...oh dear ive strayed off subject)

el privo

because they're flat-earth rednecks.

(disclaimer : fuck you, sue me)

They are afraid of what they don't understand. White supremacists do not like to be afraid, therefore the hatred.

good disclaimer trippy....but flat-earthed? fill me in?

I think he's referring to the same kind of ignorance that had people thinking for centuries the earth was flat, despite evidence to the contrary..
*cough* Catholic church and the earth as the center of the univers *cough*

*coughs with Suzie* Charlemagne, Hate christianity *regains composure*

Some people just love to hate...it`s all they have in there pathetic lives....

Actually, the flat-earth society are a bunch of shit-kicking rednecks who still think that the earth is flat and all photographs of earth from outer space are doctered.

i've heard of these people, thought the moon walk was done in a television studio.

if you're going to hate anything hate ignorance

christianity (mostly thr radicals:catholics, baptists, branch divivdians)=ignorance

Oh you mean to tell me that the earth is round! Oh my god, no way!

About the KKK, it would seem the easiest way to lead is by hate. The only way to lead by pure hate is have a whole bunch of ignorance in the first place. So the equation goes something like this:

ignorace + dumbass leader = KKK

Trust me hate is universal. When i was in hungary, we ran into some skinheads (a mixture of KKK, and neo-nasis). I thought well maybe there just like naisis or something but they had the KKK cross on one guys chest near his left shoulder. I was informed by my friend that anything representing hitler was outlawed. So guess what they use as their symbol? Our american hate symbol. Not too bright of a bunch but i guess that is a requirement. I'll save you from me even traversing even more off topic.

i think your all wrong!

the kkk was organized as a response to having their voting rights taken away in the south. paving the way for blacks to be in high judicial offices. At that time there was still huge hostility from blacks to whites, most the people around that time that were elected to office by the black votes had anti-white quotes EG: "Any white man that steps in my way i will kill" books suggested to read would be "Redneck Manifesto" "The south was right" all legal books and not listed as hate books in case you were wondering. What they did was wrong and immoral but it was dirty and it had to be done sort of like a race war, of course everyone wont hesitate to agree with blacks their's always two sides to every argument. Now they are a degenerated bunch of yokels most of them at least. Which should go back to school and get a decent education. I don't support them and never have but the fact remains that my g/f and maybe me would probably be dead if it wasn't for them. For anyone curious to read any old KKK manuscrips there are plenty of books on them they were educated at one time or another. They were strictly Christian and from what i've read in recent newspapers some have become atheist.
