If I believed the KKK were actually doing that then yes, I’d condem them. Hell I condemn the KKK anyways. But I’m not going to buy into hysteria and keep peeping through the curtains because they’re on ever corner. Cheers

You planning on ignoring this a 2nd time?

SENECA, SC (FOX Carolina) -

"The KKK is recruiting in the Upstate. And a Seneca subdivision woke up Sunday to find bags of candy on their driveways with literature directing people to "Save our land, join the Klan."

...

"Robert Jones, the Imperial Klaliff of the sect, the Loyal White Knights, returned a call to FOX Carolina. He said that this weekend was their national night ride, a recruitment event they have three times a year. He said that chapters across the country drop literature overnight."

...

"He said they're not a hate group but a civil rights organization following the Bible. He said the Klan has always been strong throughout South Carolina and that this type of recruitment is nothing new.

With more than 8,500 members, Jones said these days their focus is protesting against illegal immigration.

He said people who receive the candy and literature shouldn't be fearful unless they're doing something that the Klan considers morally wrong."

Of course he will. He's ignoring all evidence that corroborates the OP. He'll do/ignore anything to pretend the Klan are not so bad.

When did the klan do that? It seems like something I would have heard about?

So when I was a kid it was all about the Klan. There was nothing else. After decades of being laughed out of town everywhere, the Klan morphed into Skinhead and other white power movements. So in the public vernacular. you'll are all the klan no matter which particular hate group you joined.

It's like when you say LORDY THERE BE TAPES!!! when it's really all digital now.

That's not the story as I've heard it, but I don't know enough about any of those groups to say they were connected.

Good, other people need to see your idiocy.

Thats fine. Just pointing out this isnt the first time some group has pushed their twisted views on kids. Neither one has a place in education. Well, except for what NOT to do.

Why not? BLM did it.

Not condoning either, but still.

And you complain about people partaking in discussion with you, gee I wonder why that might be?

You really are losing your goddamned minds.

Did I miss some major thing happening? I'm seeing a lot of these idiots really going off the deep end of stupid just the past few days (sure that's not a far trip for far too many of them, but its been a noticeable escalation in just how stupid they're willing to be). They're not even fluffing objectivity now (in spite of them claiming they're doing just that against the supposed "insane" bias against hate groups exhibited by "the left"). Collectively there's something going on in their brains that is causing it, because its not just one or two, its all of them including some that tend to not even partake in that to such a level that have decide to go basically as stupid as possible.

Is it, wow, your idiocy continues to deliver. Gg man, gg.
Yeah it is. On BLM's own website, they list "unapologetically black", "black villages", black women", and black families" as their core guiding principles. What if a website said "white" instead of black? Racist? If I said Im unapologetically white, believe in white villages, white women, and white families? Would you label me as racist?

Of course you would.

Personally, I'd most likely just call you an idiot and leave it at that.

No, actually I wouldn't. But you are, by trying to like what the KKK stands for to what BLM stands for. The KKK isn't "unapologetically white", they also hate and wish harm on those who aren't. While it's not unreasonable to assume some people associated with BLM wish harm on white people, it's not really the movements main theme at all.....yet the KKK's is very much about that. So, willfull ignorance or education, the choice is yours.

I agree. But they both have one major thing in common: promoting race.

That's as close as you can come, skin deep, and one of those isn't promoting their race as superior to others. As soon as you dive in to see why they are, the differences slap you with a large trout. Again, down to will full ignorance or educate yourself, at this point, it seems like you're just trolling.

BLM - wants equal treatment and a change to the systemic targeting of minorities.

KKK - we're white and better than you, so we're gonna terrorize people who aren't white. P.s. - please stop complaining about the systemic racism, we like it.

Whatever you say. Fact is, both promote their own race. And both exclude other races from their own events. Racism isnt just white.

Sure if you think black people saying stop shooting us is promoting race.

Thats not listed as their core values on their website. However, "unapologetically black", "black villages", black women", and black families" and not allowing other races to their own rallies is.
