I'll be honest, I didn't know women were officially allowed to be in the KKK, let alone wear robes.
 
Did you see that GAF anonymous confession?
The scum are deeply rooted in political/educational fields, you wouldn't even know.
Here it is.

Exactly. People need to remember this. Those folks tend to have jobs and if they have to interact with a minority that bias is going to fuck us over.

Teach, Judge, Cop, Even a racist coworker can make life a living hell.
 
All that truck needs is "I'm a racist hick" spray painted on the side and the garish display is complete.

It'll be a great day for America when the final Klan member dies.

Needs to bellow black smoke from a top exhaust to symbolize anti global warming and clean energy.

These people are just inbred hillbillies. Fucking scum of the earth. That Anne Frank poster pretty much enraged me.

Can we not do this? We are still 'better' than them by virtue of not believing exactly as they do, but saying things like this brings us closer to being as they are.

Boy, don't I know it. Luckily, he's being transferred closer to his handlers, and in a position where he has no black subordinates. He'll be there by the end of the month.

really my favorite part is him about to light cigarette while on top of a hay bale.

Fair enough. I probably shouldn't have said that but these people bring out the worst in me.

I look forward to the day that everyone is invited to join the Klan.

That poor flaming cross, you almost want to give them better instructions on design.

You'd be surprised. The guys in politics are just more subtle about it.

What I mean is, it is in the shadows as opposed to being out in the open, and even then, there aren't senators who are members who dress up, attorney generals and judges or mayors of major towns. Of course their 'ideology' still has broad political support ie. White superiority, white nationalism amongst GOP/tea party groups but the days of KKK members being 35% percent of elected officials like in Indiana back in the day are gone.

Here it is.

There is the KKK and then there is their ideology. I don't think the KKK is deeply rooted in anything anymore. It is a relic of the past culture of the US. I think their ideology is still widely shared and disseminated and practiced but we're talking about the group here. The fact they can only have anonymous confessions highlights this. You can't be open if you are still a part of this organization. That in itself shows their decline. They are not connected to anything anymore. They don't have the political will, economical funds to advance any goals. All they can do is be an officer and wrongly arrest someone, or be a teacher and give someone a failing grade.

That truck and its driveshaft angle makes me cringe.
As well as the guy lighting a cigarette on a hay bale.

Coca cola must love how prominent it is in that one picture.

Leroy, the dog of two KKK members, wearing his "white power" robe.
But the dog is brown...

Well I never did spend much time near Johnson City, but I do wish I could see some location identifier for the folks in MD.
 
A member of the KKK describes his belief that the United Nations is training ISIS on American soil in concert with the federal government in order to take away the guns of American citizens. Moments later the flag was set on fire.

You really can't make this stuff up.
 
Oh wow, very nice pictures. Should have guessed he worked for Magnum.

Everyone should make sure to click the link and see them all. Really well done.

Holy fuck. I feel sick reading that.

And you're right. Racism is so deeply embedded in this country and it's frightening when shit like that comes to light. Not surprising, but frightening.
 
It's going to be interesting when the table is finally turned on white men. I've fought, voted for, and financially supported racial, gender, and sexual equality since I was a teenager (and my children will too), but it still won't matter. Eventually we will pay the price regardless of whether we fought for equality or not. Too many of us are wretched people, negative stereotyping is inevitable.
