Young Face Of The KKK

Who knew the Klan was still kicking around. I thought those idiots disappeared long ago. To the Op, I dont find it to be very common in the area I live in. I think a small group of people hold these beliefs. People like this are still extremely dangerous, raising their ******** to **** is wrong. I think alot of this stems from a lack of education, and just plain ignorance.
 
I never understood the whole cross burning thing isn't that what the church of Satan does?
 
Not one for posting controversial threads :1orglaugh but thought this article was rather interesting (rather surprising for Murdochs' Sun which normally concentrates on anti-Muslim articles). To the American members of the forum how common/relevant is this to the US today or is it just a British newspaper making a bit issue out of one isolated ****** to make a story?

You wouldn't know that the Klan existed if it wasn't for articles like this. That best describes the modern KKK's relationship with America. Every now and then there's a Klan "rally" and those consist of about 14 overweight junior high dropouts marching as about 80 unemployed idiots jeer them and pretend to be outraged.

Funny about 7 years ago I was preparing to hand in some work at Uni and had popped into a Newsagents to photocopy the work and there was a quiet respectable looking middle aged guy in front of me using the photocopier, he didn't say much from what I remember but was sort of apologetic about taking so long, when I saw what he was photocopying it was hundreds of KKK pamphlets which rather surprised me as we were in North London (large Black community) of all places. Anyway each to their own I guess but all those pamphlets were gonna get distributed somewhere, surprised he chose such an ethnically diverse area where to photocopy his stuff, trust me he was no fighter and he was playing with fire.

Could they have been part of lesson, perhaps? Something handed out to students to illustrate Klan rhetoric?

Here, the big worry was the internet. **** groups were going to use the internet to capture the youth. That's what everybody was predicting. It turns out the **** groups online do nothing more that attract the converted.

In the last few decades, it was the poor **** who resorted to joining the groups to justify their short comings and make excuses for why they're losers. But after the mid-90s, it seems that most poor whites try to imitate what they think poor blacks look like. I guess it's hard hating black folks when you're listening to Jay-Z on your way to get 40s and Garcia y Vegas to roll.

i believe it has something to do with the kkk being anti-catholic if i'm not mistaken as to to the story that boy is going to be one majorly fucked up adult nothing like early indoctrination to make a true believer it works with religion after all
 
The Ku Klux Klan is a racist, anti-Semitic movement with a commitment to extreme ******** to achieve its goals of racial segregation and white supremacy. Of all the types of right-wing **** groups that exist in the United States, the Klan remains the one with the greatest number of national and local organizations around the country.

More than 40 different Klan groups exist, many having multiple chapters, or “klaverns,” including a few that boast a presence in a large number of states. There are over a hundred different Klan chapters around the country, with a combined strength of members and associates that may total around 5,000

Ok ... I am American and politically speaking I am very much a centrist. I.e. some views to the left some views to the right.

  • First off I have to say that article makes me extremely sad. Hatred like this is absolutely pathetic and lacks logic.
  • It's hard to speak for all American's but I would have to say that the vast majority of American's would see these people as crack pots.
  • I grew up going to religious school. Although I'm not so religious now I know that now where in the bible does it tell you to **** people based simply on color. The Christian Bible definitely teaches tolerance and forgiveness.
  • As a general statement ... how come most wars and world ******** is always started by "religious people". I don't proclaim that be any kind of expert but it seems Christian's, Jew's and Muslims all commit a lot of ******** in the name of their "god". According to what I understand about the Bible, Torah and Koran that their gods don't tell you to **** people and **** people based on color.
  • Back to the issue of this ******. To me it is just total lack of ignorance and understanding of other cultures. I have been lucky enough to travel around the world for work. I have met many people from many cultures and when you meet the "average" person in whatever country they all want the same thing. To live in peace, feed their families and obtain a few personal possessions.

This statement ******** Charity says: "What role did black people play in the history of America? I mean no offence, but none. None at all. is just absolute stupidity.

The poor **** have been brainwashed since birth. Since they are all home schooled obviously they only learn what their parents want them to learn, which I'm guessing is fiction LOL!

Anyway, I **** seeing this and to answer the original posters question. I think most American's see these people as ignorant uneducated and quite simply stupid. Thank goodness they don't make up the majority. They are tiny minority of crackpots.

And one more thing ... I always say this and get shouted down, but this supports my point. Much of the far right hatred of Obama is based on Racism not reality.

Just my :2 cents:

Actually, it's more interesting, less dramatic:

The original Ku Klux Klan, which was founded in 1866 and disbanded in the early 1870s, didn't burn crosses, but that didn't stop author Thomas Dixon from saying they did in his pro-KKK novel The Clansman (1905). "The Fiery Cross of old Scotland's hills!" a character in the book announces. "In olden times when the Chieftain of our people summoned the clan on an errand of life and death, the Fiery Cross, extinguished in sacrificial *****, was sent by swift courier from village to village."

Though it had done well enough on its own, The Clansman didn't become a national phenomenon until Dixon sold the movie rights to the pioneer filmmaker D.W. Griffith, who used it to make his groundbreaking film The Birth of a Nation. In a dramatic scene, the movie's hero rears up his ***** and brandishes a flaming cross to summon the Klans to drive out the black oppressors (!) and their northern white allies who controlled the south during Reconstruction. Meanwhile the movie theater's orchestra (remember, this was the silent era) struck up Wagner's "The Ride of the Valkyries." Southern white audiences generally when nuts at this point, clapping and cheering.

Knowing a good idea when he saw one, William J. Simmons, the founder of the Klan in its second incarnation (1915-1944), cobbled together a cross and burned it at a meeting of the newly-established Knights of the Ku Klux Klan on Thanksgiving night, 1915, on Stone Mountain near Atlanta. Flaming crosses have been a Klan trademark ever since.
 
Nope, Jesus never existed. But yes, the Jesus character was certainly a Jew. :D

Well according to non-religious historians he did in fact exist. Rather or not you believe he is the *** of God is a different story. :glugglug:
 
And one more thing ... I always say this and get shouted down, but this supports my point. Much of the far right hatred of Obama is based on Racism not reality.

Just my :2 cents:

I won't shout you down and I'm not an affiliate of any such fringe wing of politics, but my distaste for this president is based on his politics,
he's such an inflexible ideologue and his definition of ''justice'' isn't much different from, say, a hugo chavez or even a che guevara if you want to go back in history. see : far left

Not the thread for that and it's pointless discussion because those that don't like him believe what they believe and the ones that agree with him believe what they believe.

I have been involved in more of these discussions than I care to admit and I have not seen a single mind changed on either side :(
