A question for anyone,what would you have done? If your property was being destroyed,stolen,and you were being disenfranchised(not allowed to vote,no representation) in some states at a %100 of the population.? In Georgia and Virginia %100 of whites had no representation,..%100 of blacks did. See official #'s at link..Whites were under black rule,they didn't come all the way here to have retard level blacks tell them what to do. Would you have run off to your safe space with a box of Kleenex? THE KKK was a non-violent means of self-defense Note,white people did NOT bring black slaves to North America,learn the difference between whites and Jews,...yes whites in a tiny % owned slaves,but who were the first in the world to end slavery? WHITES..they still enslave each other in Africa to this very day. See Professor of Black History Dr. Tony Martin [video=youtube;vAb4DLVZOW8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAb4DLVZOW8[/video] The African American Electorate A Statistical History https://books.google.com/books?id=b...ranchised d uring reconstruction era&f=false
So the cross burnings, terrorizing people into not voting was peaceful protest? I'm not watching an hour long movie, give me times maybe but this looks like a sad attempt at this. Mostly because what are you saying is white? Are Italians white? Are Germans white? What about Slavs? Racism doesn't work, simple as that.
The original targets of the Ku Klux Klan were Republicans, both black and white, according to a new television program and book, which describe how the Democrats started the KKK and for decades harassed the GOP with lynchings and threats. An estimated 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites died at the end of KKK ropes from 1882 to 1964. The documentation has been assembled by David Barton of Wallbuilders and published in his book “Setting the Record Straight: American History in Black & White,” which reveals that not only did the Democrats work hand-in-glove with the Ku Klux Klan for generations, they started the KKK and endorsed its mayhem. “Of all forms of violent intimidation, lynchings were by far the most effective,” Barton said in his book. “Republicans often led the efforts to pass federal anti-lynching laws and their platforms consistently called for a ban on lynching. Democrats successfully blocked those bills and their platforms never did condemn lynchings.” Further, the first grand wizard of the KKK was honored at the 1868 Democratic National Convention, no Democrats voted for the 14th Amendment to grant citizenship to former slaves and, to this day, the party website ignores those decades of racism, he said. http://www.wnd.com/2007/10/44171/ The KKK mostly targeted Republicans because it was the military wing of the Democratic Party. 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites were killed by the KKK in 80 years when the group was active. Back then it was Republicans who preached tolerance and promoted civil rights by risking their lives.
The KKK was born out of necessity. As stated earlier, Whites in the post war South were disenfranchised.
Ah yes, because "whites were under black rule" the KKK decided to also attack their fellow white Catholics. And it was not limited to white Catholics alone. If you were not SPECIFICALLY a white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant you were an enemy of the KKK.
I wonder how many history classes did you fail if you think any of that, and the rest of the OP in general, is true. Yes, because how dare those blacks and other non-whites think they're people with rights and deserve to be treated as people.
Oh god... so much stupid... it hurts. I particularly like this one: Somebody doesn't have even a tenuous grasp on US history.
It's a sad fact that lately, twice as many Blacks are murdered (almost always by their fellow Blacks) as were reportedly killed by the KKK over an 80 year time span. Black people have consistently accounted for close to half the country's homicide victims, making up more than 50 percent of the broader pool of those killed overall every year since 2010. The number of black victims increased 15 percent in 2015 over 2014. Of the 13,455 cases from last year in which the FBI listed a victim's racial information, 7,039 victims – or 52.3 percent – were black. That compares with 5,854 cases – or 43.5 percent – in which the victim was white, an increase of about 8 percent from last year. It's a disparity that becomes more pronounced in the context of population, as 2015 Census estimates suggest that whites account for 77.1 percent of the overall U.S. population of roughly 321 million, while blacks comprise 13.3 percent. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-09-29/race-and-homicide-in-america-by-the-numbers Understand that in the US liberals still think Blacks are under oppression from the KKK like it is 1963. Black Liberals here still think it is 1863 and they are still enslaved.
