KKK: Are they really THAT bad?

I don't know why you guys even care. It's not like anything that the KKK proposes would even BEGIN to ompact your everyday lives, much less those of politics today. They're about as harmless as Neo Nazi circles. They've got ideas and plans, but no means to deliver them. That's what they are. Plans. Nothing more. There's not a single ****ing KKK member, of the 3,000 ACTIVE MEMBERS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD that hold a federal office.

This "evil organization", that might as well not even exist, has the enrollment of a large High School. They're nothing more than fodder for history books now, and why you cats are even debating these relics of American history is beyond me.

So, to answer your question, no. They're not that bad because they're powerless, and pose no threat other than that of minute instances of terrorism.

The KKK being "bad" is what's irrelevant, because they have no power. There's no point in arguing over a worthless, powerless group with no influence over anything in anyone's everyday lives when there's corruption in our own politics that effect us directly.

Sure, they're "bad", but so is teen pregnancy, caffiene, television, and fast food, and they all have a stronger, more profound, and immediate impact on everyone every single day, unlike the KKK.

I saw the KKK's official website. They don't really seem to be that bad. I think it's just the more radical members that get all the negative attention, which in turn gives them bad publicity.

They are racist, homophobic, and make me sick just thinking about them. They are really that bad.

Has anyone ever stopped to think that there are people that share the exact same morals, affiliations, and mindsets that DON'T BELONG TO THE KKK?

You guys honestly think that there are only 3,000 racist homopbobes in the world? Again, no point in singling out some stupid faction when the world is crawling with these kinds of people, some of which may be people you know, but would never suspect.

The ones that belong to this little treehouse club of racists like the attention, albeit dwindling, and hang onto the preachings of their leader that they're actually making a difference in the world, and that one day the white man will overtake the world and yadda yadda yadda.

From David Koresh to Heaven's Gate, right back to the KKK. Some people will believe what anyone tells them, as long as their beliefs and trust are strong enough, regardless of their delusions.

I am. Are you fu*king STUPID?

They're a racist group that believs in the superiority of one race over another.

So: YES, THEY'RE THAT BAD!

What a stupid question.

why not? they should all be singled out and scrutinised. kept in the spotlight as well, since organisations such as this thrive on secrecy. and considering there wasnt, isnt, and will never be a census taken of the KKK.

so how can you claim that they are not a threat? since 9-11 their recruitment has skyrocketed, according to articles i have read. they recruit idiots like the one who started this thread.
i dont understand the logic in saying that they are not a threat. just because they do not establish the same presence as the early to mid 20th century, doesnt mean they are finished.

Yes they are.

Now that I've answered your question, I have one for you. What things about the KKK do you think are really THAT good?

To make answering the question a bit easier for you, below is a list of four major accomplishments of the KKK. Please choose one, and then describe in great detail how you believe it has contributed to the good of America.

1. Murdering innocent people.
2. Destroying innocent peoples homes.
3. Creating Hooded Suits.
4. Creating the Symbol of the burning Cross.

Ummm........Jabba at this point you are the last person to crit anyone for being "ignorant or closed minded".

Do your research on the KKK...their website don't count, they only tell you want they want you to know.

Look up thier history...look up thier crimes...find the names of actual current KKK members and read about them. Read how many police officers actually belong to the KKK.

The kkk dress up as wizards and take orders from a "grand wizard" and a "great merlin" or something, while calling one another "templars". So what exactly would you expect from something as ludicrus as that?

Well that pretty much went on in the 1800s/ early 1900s. Does that still go on nowadays? I wouldn't really think that it's fair to portray them ALL as criminals. Not that I agree with what they promote.

Is slavery OK because it doesn't exist anymore in this country?

If the remaining members of the KKK are opposed to lynching black people (they're not), they should probably change the name of their organization, and stuff...

I know their Goddamn history. I am talking about present day 2006. They obviously don't call themselves bad people on their website, but if they still believe what you say they believe, and as strong as you say they believe, then why not put that on their website? Why not pust pictures of hooded members. From my point of view, as the viewer I see that they do not believe in what they used to, or at least to a much lesser degree, or they would openly advertise this.

I am not promoting, or endorsing their ways, nor am I saying they hav been misunderstood throughought history. What I am saying, is that MAYBE nowadays they have "Chilled out" a little.

this might just be the stupidist question I have ever heard. I wonn't even bother answering...

Why not? Because it's a waste of time trying to single out these people. They're harmless, and today, aren't doing much more than exercising their right to free speech. A true KKK census would be their enrollment, which has hardly skyrocketed, given in 2005, membership was at 3,000 people worldwide. You'd think if they were dissatisfied with the current state of their world, they'd enlist in the army, not join a club.

Name something of significance, courtesy of the KKK, in the past decade. They burned down some Latino guys house last year for assulating a little white girl. Oh no! In May of this year they held an Anti-Immigration rally in Alabama. We're doomed! 😂

They have no business. Period. They're bad, but they're also pacifists when it comes to getting their point across. I don't see why you guys are so up in arms over some silly little club that operates in the Deep South, that has some outdated morals, and will never get anything out of their little meetings.

What concerns me most is that you guys don't think slavery exists in America anymore, when it most certainly does this day and age. Forced labor is a hot button issue in states with a large immigrant communities.

I've always wondered if they could pull bunnies out of the pointy hats they wear. 🐰

Of coarse not. Any organization that brings people together, is always a good thing. And the picture of the jungle monkey and the fat negro eating the cheeseburger in the profile really brings your point home. Nice touch.

Gotta go for now. Hope I didn't come across as racist or anything.

Well the KKK is a joke today. But just because thier easy to laugh at does not mean thier not as bad.
